Crafty Creations

Hi all,

Recently, I was lucky enough to get a message in my inbox from a very special lady!

I was invited to join the papercraft design team for Craft Creations!

It took me a second or two to decide, so here I am!

These are my first samples & they will be on Hochanda TV

today Friday 24th May at 12pm & 4pm

You can watch online here or on your telly box

Freeview 85 Sky 673 or FreeSat 817

This one was made using black cardstock, the Feather Stamp & Sentiment

which were embossed with white EP& a little bit of lace from my stash!

Simple but effective I reckon

The flamingo card was stamped using Distress Oxides, 

then coloured with a promarker or two!

I die cut the image & matted & layered using some circle dies. 

The background & sentiment were stamped with distress oxides too.

A few sticky pearls from my stash & we're done!

This unicorn was stamped & embossed in black then coloured with

my sparkly Sakura pens! I do like to dig them out from time to time!

The matting & layering was done using plain white CS & blue glitter card!

I punched the corners for a bit of interesting detail

This unicorn was stamped with Distress Ink then coloured with a mix

of promarkers & flexmarkers.

I die cut the image then used Distress Inks to create the background.

I matted & layered some Kraft CS die cuts to create interest

Thanks for dropping in & don't forget to tune in to 

Craft Creations
on Hochanda @12 & 4pm
It' going to be a great show & I believe there may be Bank Holiday Specials too!

Secret Garden

Good morning lovelies!

Here I am with today's card!

I made a 6x6inch Kraft card using Secret Garden

one of the new Clear Polymer Stamps from La Pashe!

This card is actually intended for a man but I guess it might

be suitable for any keen gardener or indeed anyone who likes

to spend time in the garden!

I used my usual FlexMarker & ProMarker combo to colour up the image.

then matted it onto some brown CS which has a punched border.

I added a little bit of raffia mesh some buttons & some twine.

I just had to add a little bunch of keys too!

The papers are First Edition, Bo Chic (I think)

All of these items have been in my stash for ages!

A little side view to finish up.

Little Village Church

Good Morning Bloggers,

Here I am again with another card for you!

Again, this is one of the new release polymer stamps from

Just Inklined which are featured on Create & Craft TV Today!

This stamp is called Little Village Church.

I'm sure this image will be suitable for so many occasions!

I've added a sentiment which I created from Psalms 118: 24.

The border was punched using a Tonic Border Punch.

Coloured with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers then 

cut out with a Grand Nestie & inked around the edges with a

couple of chalk inkpads blending to get the desired shade.

The matt is vellum, which has been in my stash forever.

Here's a closer look at my sentiment.

If you'd like to use it please take it from below.

All I ask is that you don't share with anyone, 

please send people over so they can get it for themselves!

Thanks for looking & I do hope you manage to get hold of some of the new stamps!

Just Inklined Polymer Clear Stamps

Good Morning Bloggers! 
A Very Happy Thursday to you all!
I have a very special card for you today!

Just Inklined are on Create and Craft TV this Thursday and Friday,
 with their new release of Clear Stamps.
You will be able to buy these either individually or as part of a set.
Here's one of the cards I made  using the new stamps.

This little guy is called Just For You Boy!

I thought he was perfect for a Mother's Day or Mum's Birthday card

but I'm sureyou could think of a dozen other used!

The image is coloured with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers 

then inked using liquid chalk inkpads. The letters are die cut & inked.

The papers I've used are Papermania 

I made the die cut flower using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die,

& papers from the same pack. I haven't made many flowers but I was

 actually really quite pleased with how this one turned out!

There is a challenge for Tattered Florals here 

A last look at my card. As you can see I added some twine too!

I hope you like my card & I hope you manage to get your hands on 

some of the new stamps! My guess is they're going to be popular!

They are a real dream to work with!
