Seasons Givings Giveaway Blog Hop - Year 5

Hello Friends, I am absolutely delighted to be again taking part in the Seasons Givings blog hop. This is the fifth year running of this fabulous initiative started by our talented hostess Latisha Yoast. This is a wonderful blog hop to say 'thank you' to all our blog readers and followers for their time and kindness whenever they visit our blogs.

My blog had been a bit neglected in this last year and I am really sorry for being such a bad blogger in the recent months. My attention and focus were very much directed to finding my own feet in the new job, settling in the new house and I've started professional studies, too. Somehow these things have exhausted my creative muse which was hiding somewhere reappearing only occasionally and for very short moments. But even with such infrequent posting I have been really touched to see that many of my blog friends remained in contact and for that I want to express my heartfelt gratitude ❤❤❤.


This blog hop is so fabulous for two more reasons. The participating blogs wil be sharing some wonderful crafty inspiration as well as offering some delicious giveaways as a way to say 'thank you'. So be sure to visit them all to see what gems and treasures are waiting for you there!

My inspiration for you is this mixed media canvas panel which I created at the back of this Retro Girl With Attitude project that I shared a while ago.

And The Winner Is.....!

Hello my lovelies! Thank you soooo much to everyone who's taken part in the Seasons Givings Blog Hop! The blog hop was fantastic! I was amazed by the generosity of the people taking part and there will sure be many happy winners. Also, my biggest and warmest welcome to my new blog followers - thank you so much for joining in the fun and I hope you will find lots of inspiration here!

I also wholeheartedly enjoyed reading your comments and I loved finding out about your new year's resolutions! A lot of us will aim to get our craft rooms and supplies organised better and others hope to try their hand at a new crafting technique.

Using watercolours in crafting is definitely one of your favourite techniques to try in 2016! With this in mind I hope to share more watercolouring tips and projects here on my blog. For now, if you'd like some initial watercolouring inspiration, why don't you check out my Autumnal Wishes card with a Brusho background tutorial or the Floral Seed Packets with my colouring on kraft with Inktense pencils tutorial. You can also see some examples of colouring using watercolour pencils in my Anniversary Pop Up Bouquet Card or Near The Sea Card.

You might also like to check out this Beginners' Guide to the Magic of Watercolour Kindle Edition written by my dearest father-in-law Jack King.


Jack is an amazing artist and has always been a great inspiration to me - and I found this beginners' guide extremely helpful in my watercolour pursuits! One of my FIL's designs has also recently been selected for the charity Christmas cards for The Silver Line helpline and he's currently the 'cover boy' on The Silver Line's Facebook page :).


OK, let's move onto what you all have been waiting for - the winners of my giveaways!

First up - my giveaway #1:


And the winner is.......


Next - my giveaway #2:

You Are My Anchor - Vintage Nautical Card Tutorial And a Giveaway!



Hello everyone and oh boy, I am sooo happy (quite overwhelmed, really!) to see so many new friends joining my blog! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! 

In case you've missed my Monday's post, this card was my offering for this week's blog collaboration of two amazing companies. The Design Teams at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Graphic 45 have been playing together to spoil you with a whole week of great inspiration and amazing prizes. To find out more, hop over here!

As promised, I am back today with a tutorial for the nautical anniversary card I shared. And if you keep reading on, you will also see that I have a little 'thank you' surprise for my 'tutorial survivors' lol. 

Ok, let's get started with the tutorial, shall we?

1. Prepare your card blank from kraft cardstock and a selection of background panels and elements from the By The Sea and Place in Time paper collections. Distress the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink and a paper distresser. Make some bigger tears in a few places to show the background fabric scraps.



2. Add some stamping using Stampendous stamps (Loving Messages) and StazOn Midnight blue ink. Cut a few small pieces of burlap fabric. Arrange the elements until you are happy with the layout. 

TIP: I always keep my phone handy to take a quick snap. This way I can refer to my planned layout during the assembling stage, in case I forget how I wanted to arrange the elements :).



3.  Adhere your burlap scraps to the back of your biggest background panel with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips, making sure to leave some fabric showing outside the edges. Pull some treads out for a tattered look.



4. Run your E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips along all edges of the panel and adhere it to the card blank. Repeat with the smaller background elements and attach them to the card.




5. To adhere flat metal tags and fabric embellishments use Adhesive Sheets.




6. Using the White Crafty Foam Tape and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips
adhere the remaining background elements, varying the layer heights with additional foam adhesive.



7. Continue to build the layers.




8. Fill a small vial bottle with torn strips of papers and a mixture of Stampendous Frantage powders, glitters, mica fragments and sequins.

TIP: I always keep my leftover powders, glitters and fragments from the encrusted jewel technique in a small container - they come very handy in small embellishment bottles.



9. Wrap the bottle with a small rope embellishment tied in a sailor's knot and secure with DODZ™ - 3D.


TIP: I saved my knots from another project (you can read about it here) but you can easily create them yourself - you can find some cool examples and instructions here

10. Secure the bottle to the card with a handful of DODZ™ - 3D. To cover any adhesive showing tuck in some cheese cloth - this will also add a nice nautical touch.



11. Add a few photo corners from Creative Photo Corners - Mix Pack to imitate beach huts. Layer the sentiment panel over them, leaving only the 'roofs' showing.


12. Weave a nautical ribbon bow through a big ship's wheel brad embellishment and secure to the card.



13. Use the ribbon to cover a handful of 3D Foam Pennants to create a nautical banner, do not peal the back protective sheet yet. Punch a hole at the top left corner of each pennant and weave through a red cord. Peal of the back sheets and layer each pennant onto the card over the previous one.




14. Add a few blue and turquoise sequins to imitate water droplets. Secure with DODZ™ - Small.



And that's it! You can also use the left over pieces and scraps to decorate the inside of the card, like I've done it here :).


***********

Now, something you've all been waiting for! lol :) Giveaway time! Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L have very kindly offered a $25 shopping spree to one of my blog followers - how awesome is that? Imagine the delight in browsing all the fabulous photo corners, designer shapes, adhesive dispensers and so much more...!


All you have to do to enter the giveaway is to follow my blog, comment on this post and enter into the drawing using the Rafflecopter app below. There are also additional ways to gain more entries so have fun and good luck!
