With or without?

Hi everyone

Here are a couple of cards i made with my ladies yesterday.

We used this gorgeous stamp that i bought at the NEC. I used Pan Pastels, of course and added Stickles.

That was how we did the first card.

On the second card I added a leaf stamp around the edge . hence my post title, with or without.

Which one do you prefer?

I will send the most popular card to someone who comments on this post. please spread the word.:))

Have a great day.

Little blessings

Here is a card i made with Pan Pastels again!. I will do some other stuff, promise.

I just love they way they blend. I added some stickles to the edge of the card and to the flourishes and then some Liquid Pearls to the stems. This is a very quick and easy card to make.

Thank you for looking

This card is a DT card for Hotshot Craft where the challenge is Bling it on.

1 stamp, 2 cards

 I have used this set of stamps in classes recently. I like to show how you can be versatile with stamps so here are 2 very different ways of using the stamps.

Here is a sympathy card I have made for a friend who lost her husband recently.

I used Black Pan Pastels and stamps.

For this card I stamped the flower and leaves on patterned paper and cut it out. I stamped around the edge with the flower stamp too.

Thank you for looking

Pan Pastels card

I have been so busy clearing out my craft cupboards i haven't had much time to be creative. But for a couple of weeks i have been showing my class how to use Pan Pastels on their cards.

This card was made using a set of rose stamps which i masked. The background was coloured with 2shades of Pan Pastels. They are available at Hotshot craft at the special price of £4.98 plus free posting..

I used a normal rubber to erase any Pan Pastel that had gone over the roses, so this left the roses white. Lastly i added a bit of Stickles to the roses.

What can you do with a chipboard book?

We have in stock various designs of chipboard books with book rings.
You might think that all you can do is ...make a book. But why not make a wall hanging?

 Items used are available from Hotshot Craft.
Here is one i made using just 3 of the pages of one of the books. (you get 4 pages with this book)

 I have used Mod Podge to adhere the Strictly Party papers to the chip board. I have then Used Mod Podge over all the paper to give it a sheen and seal it.

 The letters were die cut, embossed and then coloured with Pan Pastels, my new best friends!

 Flowers and leaves were die cut from various card and Pan Pastels used to colour them.

 The shimmer on the letters was created by brushing the Shimmer Mod Podge over it. In the Mod Podge starter pack you get 5 bottles- Sparkle, Original Gloss, Original Matte, Outdoor, and Paper Matte.

 The ribbon at the top here was cream originally and i coloured it with Pan Pastels.

 Why not have a go. If you can't find any of the items used on the web shop then please ring Hotshot Craft to order on 01902 716770
