Welcome!

 Hey there! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Welcome to my blog - I am creating this in order to share my idea's and help inspire others.

Firstly I'd like to share a card I made prior to the festive period - a happy new year 2021 card.



For this card I used an 8 by 8 card blank, I then took some silver card from core collection pack I have and cut a frame using the two largest dies from the square quilted nesting dies by Time for tea designs.  To create the background i used a sheet of paper from Pink&Main Galaxy foil paper pad collection I purchased from My Perfect Stamp, and cut a strip of Crafters Companion centura pearl card to create the idea of a snowy floor. 

I then die cut the critters, accessories and words out using the following collections from Time for Tea Designs - Happy new year standalone die and the happy new year critters coordinating dies.  Once die cut out I then stamped the detail onto the accessories (wine glasses and bottle of bubbly), 2021 balloons along with the critters - reindeer's, squirrel and rabbit; when stamping I used my Hampton Art Stamp Perfect along with lawn fawn fawndamentals jet black ink pad.  After stamping I used my pro-markers to colour in the images, before then sticking all the components down with double sided tape and added twine as balloon string and attached to reindeer's antlers.

I hope you've enjoyed my first post and I hope to share another post with you soon.

TLC Designs - two cards completed

Image
Hey all! Hope you are all well.  So today I wanted to share two cards I've made using a new company to me (TLC Designs), which I happened to stumble across; the cards are using the company's digital products while I await arrival of my stamps and dies. As with the majority of my blog posts you can find a list of the products used along with a link to them at the end of this post. Pumpkin Gnome Card So firstly for the first card I printed the digital image of the gnome out and then coloured the image using Crafters Companion Spectrum Noir Triblend brush pens, before cutting the image out. I also printed the leaf patterned paper and sentiments which came from the Jack O'Gnome digital stamp set.   On a 7 by 7 inch white card blank I then stuck down the bronze embossed card using red liner tape, which I had cut down to 6 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches, before then sticking the leaf patterned paper on top of the bronze card (the leaf paper was 6 inches by 6 inches). I then cut out t

Piggin' Skipping Slider card

Image
Hey everyone,  So today I wanted to share a penny slider card that I've made using Time for Tea Designs Workout pigs. Firstly I cut a piece of laminate wood effect paper measuring 148mm by 63mm and a piece of silver mirror card to 148mm by 84mm.  Then on the wood effect paper I placed the larger slider element die from the hooray hamsters set roughly in the centre before then running it through my Gemini machine.   The idea was to have a pig skipping moving with the slider element, therefore the next step was to colour the pig and skipping rope handles using Spectrum Noir Triblend brush pens and then adhered to skipping rope to the pigs trotters using Gert's glue. Next I stuck down the silver mirror card panel to the top of a 6 by 6 black card blank. Putting together the slider element you need a penny (well any coin will do but a penny is the cheapest), then I stuck 4 square foam pads across the coin and then stuck another row on top given it slight dimension.  I chose to use

Colour it - Create it - Show it off! March Challenge Reminder

Image
Hey all! So here we are half way through March already and just wanted to remind you to enter into the challenge where as usual it is anything goes, to enter and for more information  click here . Absolutely loving the images I've been able to play with this month on the design team, so much I've made another 2 cards.   So starting with the card on the left the more complex of the two I would say. Firstly I downloaded the digi stamps and printed four images onto a sheet of A4  Color copy 160gsm pape r, which I then cut up to individual toppers.  Using Spectrum Noir Triblend brush pens I coloured in the one of the images, deciding to give the fairy a tanned colour to her skin along with a orange dress and accessories.  I used a spectrum noir clear sparkle pen to go over the fairies wings to give them a sparkle and coloured the bug's wings with a spectrum noir sandstone sparkle pen.   I cut down an A4 piece of super smooth card suitable for alcohol markers to give me a 6 by 6
