Amazing Things

Hey crafty friends. Today I am sharing a sweet winter scene card. This one is actually a Pop Up Card (it was tricky to photo at the time!!) but so much fun create...

For this card I used Mama Elephant Tree Picking Stamps. I coloured them all with Copics and cut them out. I created the pop up panel by blending some Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo & Picked Raspberry Oxide Inks. I then used Crafters Companion Amazing Things Stamps for the sentiment. I added some snow drifts to the front panels using my Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border Dies then added all the images. This one was featured in Crafts Beautiful as part of my Pop Up & Sentiments project.


Supplies;
Mama Elephant Stamps - Tree Picking
Crafters Companion Stamps - Amazing Things
Lawn Fawn Dies - Stitched Hillside Borders
Distress Oxide Inks - Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry
Copic Pens


Thanks so much for stopping by today. I will be back soon with more creations and do join me from Friday for the latest Clearly Besotted November Previews!

Sincerest Thanks

Hello crafy friends! I am very busy behind the scenes at the moment making a huge batch of charity cards so that may be why my posts will be far and few between. I will try and share as much as I can though! Today I am sharing a card I made for my embossed ink project...

I haven't made any cards in this style before it was also a learning curve for me. I used the embossing ink technique which is baasically placing ink inside your embossing folder then running it through your die cutting machine to create an embossed and ink effect. I used CC Gemini Gossamer Lace Embossing Folder. It is ideal for this technique as it's full of beautiful detail. I went with a purple theme for this one and used Seedless Preserves & Wilted Violet Distress Inks. I used Birch Press Designs Big Thanks Die to create the layered die cut sentiment. I added a stamped sentiment from Clearly Besotted then added some gems.


Supplies;
Gemini Embossing Folder - Gossamer Lace
Birch Press Designs Dies - Big  Thanks
Clearly Besotted Stamps - Say It All
Distress Inks - Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet
Lucy's Little Things - Bubbles, Icicle Gems
Coloured Card


Thank you so much for stopping by today, I will be back with more creations soon.

Cascade Cards

Hi all,

Today I am sharing not one but three cards that were made for PaperCrafter Magazine using the new Cascade Dies from Crafters Companion...

 I got to say I found these quite fiddly at first but once I got the hang of it they became quite easy to make! I added each layer with foam pads so they are very 3D but they looked much better than being flat. For these cards I used the Crafters Companion Cascade Alphabet Down & Right. I used a XCut Tiny Hearts Embossing Folder on the pink card. I added some ribbons, flowers, sequins, pearls and buttons to decorate.

Supplies;

CC Gemini Cascade Dies - Left & Down

Coloured Card

Patterned Papers

Ribbons & Lace

Paper Flowers

Pearls

Sequins

Pins

I will be back soon,

Little Birdies

Hi all,

Its the start of another week, these weeks are flying by this year! I have quite a busy week ahead but I will still try and update my blog as much as possible. Today's card was made for PaperCrafter Magazine using the free digi downloads...

 These digi stamps were designed by Crafter's Companion. I coloured the bird with my Copic Markers. I used some papers from my stash I think they were Wild Rose Studio. I mounted everything onto kraft card. I added some lace, ribbon, a doily and gems to finish.

You can download these free Digi Stamps here.

I will be back soon :)

Merry Penguin

Hi all,

I am feeling a bit under the weather today so this will be a short post. Today's card was made for Make It Today Die Cut Christmas Magazine...

I was asked to create a few cards using a penguin die and this is the first card from my project. I used a Penguin Die from Crafters Companion. It's quite a large die which makes it great as a focal point. The sentiment is by My Favorite Things. I think the papers are by Doodlebug. I added a ribbon bow and pearls to finish.

Vintage Florals Pt 1

Hello Tuesday! 

Today is my day off from work so I have lots planned, mostly magazine work and housework but maybe a bit of gardening if the weather stays nice - we will see! So it's time to share a new project with you. This one is vintage florals which was made for Making Cards Magazine.

For this card I actually used the Downton Abbey CD Rom. It's got loads of images which aren't just downton themed and I do love florals at the moment so was fun to do something a bit different. The image, papers and sentiment are all from the CD Rom. I mounted everything onto kraft card and dusted the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I also added some lace, ribbon & pearls to finish.

I will be back tomorrow with my second card from this project.

Downton Abbey

Good Morning,

I hope the sun is shinning where you are today! We have managed to get our new home sorted a bit more still some bits to sort through but almost there now. I have my desk back up now so I am much happier I can escape to my crafting zone. I just thought I would share a vintage card I made recently featuring the very popular Downton Abbey!

Can you believe I actually have never seen it?! I am sure I will end up watching the whole series at some point in the future. Lots of mmy customers are big fans of Downton Abbey so I am sure I will be making more like this. I used the Downton Abbey CD Rom by Crafters Companion. I distressed all the edges of the background papers and added bit of distress ink too. I added some lace and ribbon and some pearls of course.
