Warmest Wishes Stepper Card

A vintage style Christmas card for you today.

The base of the card is a piece of Foundations Milk Card, which has been stamped using the new Heartfelt Creations Delicate Holly Swirls Pre Cut stamp set and a clear Perfect Medium pad. Cosmic Shimmer Detail Gold Embossing Powder was added and heat set. 

The leaves were coloured in using a Forest Moss Distress Ink Pad and a water brush. Cosmic Shimmer Berry Red Pearlescent PVA was then added to the stamped berries. The card base was then left overnight for the "berries" to dry. The next day the card was scored to form the steps and Forest Moss Distress Ink was blended around all of the edges.

The two circular elements were made by stamping some of the stamps in the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Sentiment Circles Pre Cut stamp set (gosh, that was a bit of a mouthful!). The same Milk card was used as before and the Forest Moss Distress Ink was blended through circle dies used to cut out the stamped images. The two circle toppers were then mounted onto the decorative red mats, which were die cut using the Spellbinders Picot Edge die set. 

The die cut tree was made using the Heartfelt Creations Banner & Trees die set.

The bow was tied using a piece of two-tone red ribbon. The holly swirl was cut using the Heartfelt Creations Ornamental Add On die set. The poinsettias were stamped using the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Poinsettia Pre Cut stamp set and die cut using the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur die. 

Happy crafting!

Star Book

This is a Star Book of Inspirations and Techniques. 

It was the sample made for a recent workshop. The idea was to try various techniques and go away with a reference book.

This picture shows the book when closed, together with a few of the pages included.

The front and back covers were made by using a small embossing folder and then extending the design.

The techniques used on these three pages were (i) die cutting and decoupaging the die cuts with different coloured card, (ii) stamping with Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue and adding Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter and (iii) rubber stamping and using matching dies plus heat embossing and using Distress Inks.

The techniques used on these pages were (i) using embossing folders and adding Distress Ink as well as inking through a die with Distress Ink and using Polished Silk Glitters with a stamp, (ii) changing the colour of metal embellishments using embossing powder, using Polished Silk Glitters with self adhesive sheets and die cuts, and embossing with a border mask, (iii) using gilding wax with an embossed image and using texture paste through a mask.

I hope this book inspires you to try something different.

Happy crafting!

A bouquet of Drawing Inks

Something a bit different today. I recently had to find a way of displaying the different colour choices in the Cosmic Shimmer Drawing Inks range.

There are some really pretty colours available. Some sets contain mica and some are matt colours. 

The "petals" are the Creative Expressions Blossom Heart stamp from the Singles range. The stamp comes pre cut and cushion mounted. This particular design also comes with a sentiment - Warmest Wishes. The heart design was stamped using clear Perfect Medium and then heat embossed using the Cosmic Shimmer Detail Black embossing powder. Each heart uses a different set of Cosmic Shimmer Drawing Inks. The hearts have then been glued to the embossed background to form the two flower shapes. The centres of the flowers are the Creative Expressions Large Circle Dazzlers. 

Happy crafting!

Sun Kissed Fleur in Blue

A blue colour theme, using my favourite range of stamps, the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur stamp sets and matching die.

Coconut white card was used for all layers. The base layer was a plain rectangle mat. The second layer was edged using the Cosmic Shimmer Summer Blue Pearlescent PVA to make the faux pearls. The third layer was stamped around the outside edge using the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur Border & Corner Pre Cut set and an Olive Archival ink pad.

For the top layer, a sentiment from the Creative Expressions Garden Sayings stamp set was stamped in the centre of a rectangle of coconut white card, using an Olive Archival ink pad. This was die cut with a grand rectangle die and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink was sponged around the die. The corner stamp from the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur Border & Corner Pre Cut set was then stamped in the bottom left corner using the Olive Archival ink pad. 

The corner design was then coloured in using Tumbled Glass, Crushed Olive and Mustard Seed Distress Markers.

More flowers and leaves were stamped and then die cut using the matching Sun Kissed Fleur Pre Cut stamp set and Die. These were coloured, as before, and then layered up in opposite corners (as shown).

Happy crafting!

Blog Candy

The blog candy prize remains unclaimed. I emailed Mandy a week ago so if anyone knows her please ask that she gets back to me. In case Mandy is on holiday, I will leave it another week. If I don't hear anything by next Sunday, I will do a re-draw. 

Striped Sun Kissed Fleur

Today's card is a clean and simple style, using the Heartfelt Creations Striped Sun Kissed Fleur Pre Cut stamp with the matching Sun Kissed Fleur die.

The base is a square of blush coloured card. The second layer of blush card has been pierced around all four sides using the Creative Expressions Piercing Ruler and a needle tool. The third layer of blush card has been die cut in the centre using the Spellbinders Stateley Circles die set, to form an aperture. Behind the aperture a smaller piece of which card has been placed, with a sentiment stamped using the Creative Expressions Natures Sentiments stamp set and a Coffee Archival ink pad. 

The flowers were stamped on blush card using the Striped Sun Kissed Fleur Pre Cut stamp and clear Perfect Medium. This was then heat embossed using the Cosmic Shimmer Iced Blush Lustre embossing powder. The flowers were then die cut using the matching Sun Kissed Fleur die.

To finish the card, Creative Expressions White Self Adhesive pearls were glued to the flower centres, with a large Creative Expressions Fancy Pearl Embellishment being added to the centre of the largest flower.

Happy crafting!

Sun Kissed Fleur in Pink

Today's card has been made using the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur range of stamps and die. It is one of the prettiest sets I have seen for a while and I have made a few different cards.

There are six packs of stamps and one die in this range, all of which are beautiful. 

For this card I have used the Sun Kissed Fleur Background stamp, the Sun Kissed Fleur Tags & Basket stamp set and the Sun Kissed Fleur Pre Cut Set. i have also used the Sun Kissed Fleur die. This is one large die, which cuts out ten flowers and two sets of leaves, in various sizes. The die has also been made to line up exactly with some of the stamp sets in the range, so you can stamp a whole set of flowers with one stamp and then die cut them using one die. 

The base of the card was cut using the Spellbinders Grand Labels Twenty Three die set and blush coloured card. I then inked through the die using a Milled Lavender Distress Ink pad.

The second layer was a piece of coconut white card which I stamped using the Sun Kissed Fleur Background stamp. I coloured the background flowers using a Milled Lavender Distress Marker and a water brush. I then coloured the leaves using a Crushed Olive Distress Marker and a water brush. This piece of card was then die cut using a large rectangle die and I inked through the die using a Milled Lavender Distress Ink pad. I then wrapped a piece of white crochet lace around the background, as shown.

The top layer was made using a piece of coconut white card and the Sun Kissed Fleur Tags & Basket stamp set. I stamped using clear Perfect Medium and then heat embossed using the Cosmic Shimmer Detail Gold embossing powder. This was then die cut using the Spellbinders Labels Ten die set and a slightly larger mat was also cut from this set using blush coloured card. I inked through both dies with the Milled Lavender Distress Ink pad.

The sentiment comes from the Creative Expressions Garden Sayings stamp set and was stamped using an Aged Mahogany Distress Ink pad. 

The extra flower embellishments were made by stamping the Sun Kissed Fleur Pre Cut stamp set and cutting it out with the matching Sun Kissed Fleur die. The flowers were coloured using Milled Lavender and Aged Mahogany Distress Markers and then layered up, as shown. A faux pearl was put in the centres using the Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Plum Pearl PVA. 

Quite a long post today as I used a lot of products.

Happy crafting!

A good time was had by all!

I thought today I would show you the projects we made on Saturday at Grafton Crafts in Kimbolton.

I think "a good time was had by all". We were made very welcome by Jenny and Yvonne and the ladies on the workshop did a really good job.

Here is a picture of their finished Christmas cards.

We used the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die set with the Heartfelt Creations stamp set called Petite Poinsettia designed to match the die. The embossing folder we used was the Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder called Holiday Magic. 

We are 4 followers away from 100 now, so I hope to be able to send out the blog candy soon.

Happy crafting!

Gilded Love Heart

Today's  card is a fairly simple card to make.

It uses the Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes and the Creative Expressions Damask Heart with Love sentiment stamp from the Singles range of stamps. These are already mounted onto cushion and cut out ready for use. 

The images were stamped onto a piece of black card using the Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue, which had been soaked into a small piece of cut n dry foam. The gilding flakes were then applied, using a stencil brush to remove any excess pieces. 

This was then die cut using the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four die set.

Finally, a mat of gold card was placed behind the die cut layer.

Happy crafting!

Elegant Friend

A simple, but elegant card today, using the Spellbinders Elegant Labels Four die set, with white card and teal card. 

The sentiment and frame have been stamped in Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. The frame is called Floral Scroll and is from the Creative Expressions range of Stamps To Die For. The sentiment comes from the Creative Expressions Special Sentiments A5 Stamp Plate.

The ribbon is Creative Expressions White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and has been topped with a square dazzler.

Happy crafting!

A Pot of Orange Blooms

This card was made using the Spellbinders Layered Flowers die set and their Flower Pots die set.

I used a piece of double sided paper from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Holiday Past Paper Stash pad for the flower pot, so when the top was folded down there was a contrasting but still co-ordinating pattern of stripes. I am sure the leafy swirls were die cut using a Spellbinders die set (does anyone know which one?). The message was die cut using a die from the Spellbinders Nautical Frames & Accents die set and tied around the flower pot using a piece of twine. The background was embossed using the Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder called Garden Lattice. 

Happy Crafting!

Gilded Tulips

This card features the Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes. There are lots of lovely colours to choose from (I think this uses Egyptian Gold).

The tulip image is from the Creative Expressions Floral Silhouette A5 Stamp Plate. I used a piece of Cut and Dry foam with the Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue to "ink" my stamp. I then used a stencil brush to clean away any excess flakes. 

The stamped image was die cut using the Spellbinders Elegant Labels Four die set and I added a bow from Creative Expressions Champagne Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon, with a brown dazzler in the centre. 

I cut a frame from gold card and layered these pieces onto a larger mat of milk card.

To finish, I added a few self-adhesive black pearls, as shown.

Happy crafting!

Skater Tags

A card for a teenager today! I have two sons who have both spent quite a few hours skateboarding, so this card makes me think of them.

I decided to use red, white and blue as the colour theme and cut three tag shapes. The blue tag was stamped using one of the stamps from the Creative Expressions Anything Is Possible A5 Stamp Plate and black ink. 

The red tag was embossed using the Creative Expressions Crackle Embossing Folder. The embossing was then sanded back and blue ink blended over the tag. Metal wings from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Adornment Charms pack were glued to the corner. 

The white tag was stamped using an image from the Anything is Possible Stamp Plate and the message. Blue ink was then blended around the outside edges. 

The three tags were fixed together using a swivel clasp. The metal crown and the metal star came from the Idea-ology Adornment Charms pack.

The background was made using two shades of blue ink and the large stamp from the Creative Expressions Silhouette Skateboards A5 Stamp Plate.

Happy crafting!

A single rose

A very feminine card today. The stamp is from the Creative Expressions Singles range and is called Classic Rose Stem. It comes with the Best of Luck message and both stamps are pre-cut and cushion mounted, ready to start stamping. 

I stamped the rose using a Black Archival Ink Pad on some white card and then heat embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Detail Clear Embossing Powder. As this ink is not particularly designed for heat embossing you need to get the powder on quickly, before the ink starts to dry. It is not difficult, you just need to have everything in front of you ready to go. I coloured the rose image using Distress Markers. I then die cut the stamped image using a die from the Spellbinders Timeless Rectangle die set. Whilst the die cut card was still in the die, I blended Distress Ink around the edges.

The next layer of white card was embossed using the Couture Creations Crazy Daisy embossing folder and then die cut using the Spellbinders Elegant Labels Four die set. I then blended ink through the die. A matching size mat of blush pink card was placed behind, so that the pale pink showed through the gaps. 

The message was stamped in the same way as the rose and then die cut using the ribbon slider die from the Elegant Labels Four die set.

The ribbon I used was the Creative Expressions Rose/Dusky Pink Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and the base layer was a plain white piece of card.

Happy crafting!

Turquoise Baubles

Today's card uses two of the new bauble stamp designs from Creative Expressions, which co-ordinate with existing Spellbinders die sets. This design is called Floral Bauble and Mini Floret Bauble.

The base card is a plain black square. I then cut a slightly smaller square in a pretty blue shade, which I embossed using the Couture Creations Baubles & Baubles embossing folder. I extended the pattern so that the card was embossed all the way along the top edge. The folder didn't reach the bottom edge of the card but this was covered over by the next layer of white card anyway. 

The white piece of card was cut along the top edge using the Spellbinders A2 Curved Border One die set. As the card was slightly wider than the length of the die, I extended the cut slightly. 

The ribbon tied around the white card layer is Creative Expressions White Sheer Wrinkle Edge Ribbon, topped with a circle dazzler. 

The sentiment message was stamped using a Black Archival Ink Pad and a stamp from the Creative Expressions Winter Greetings A5 Stamp Plate. 

The three baubles were stamped using a Clear Perfect Medium Pad on matching blue card and then heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Detail Silver Shine Embossing Powder. The stamped baubles were die cut using the matching sized dies from the Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments die set. The baubles were then shaped to give them a rounded shape and threaded together with a piece of black and white Bakers Twine. The baubles were attached using a few foam pads stacked on top of each other, to keep the height in the centres. 

Happy crafting!

Shoes and Friends!

Today's card uses Foundations backing papers and the Creative Expressions stamp set "Sole Creations". I don't use decorative papers very often but after I had coloured in the stamped shoe image the papers were a really good colour match. The papers are double sided, so I used one side for the background and the reverse side for the panels.

I added some black card, die cut using the Spellbinders Antique Frame & Accents set.

The stamped image was die cut using the Spellbinders Labels Six die set, which I turned on its side to fit the image.

I am off to Grafton Crafts today in Kimbolton, to hold a workshop, and am really looking forward to meeting everyone.

Happy crafting!

A trio of carnations

Hello everyone. A red and white card today, using the Creative Expressions Floral Silhouette stamp set.

I inked the carnation stamp using Distress Markers and stamped it three times. This was then die cut using a circle die, inking through the die with a Distress Ink pad around the outside edge. This was then matted onto a red layer of card die cut using the Spellbinders Picot Edge Circles die set.

The embossing folder highlighted in the background is the Couture Creations Cultivated embossing folder.

Happy crafting!

Sun Kissed Fleur is just peachey!

Today's card is made using the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur range. Julia Watts is showcasing this range on Create & Craft today at 12-2pm (Tool Shed) and 5-6pm today. Julia was kind enough to ask if I could make some samples for these shows and this is one of them. 

The Sun Kissed Fleur Background PreCut stamp was stamped onto vellum using a Perfect Medium Clear pad and Cosmic Shimmer True White embossing powder. The two orange flowers were cut using the Sun Kissed Fleur die and coconut white card. I inked through the die with an orange Distress Ink pad and then shaped the petals before layering them up. 

It is a fabulous range of stamps and dies so I hope you manage to catch one of the shows, or the repeats.

Happy crafting!

Blush Card and Micro Bead Flowers

I can't believe how the weeks fly by, so apologies for not blogging recently. Today's card features the blush coloured card chosen by Sue Wilson at Creative Expressions and the popular Tied Together embossing folder. The blush card has been used for the spiral flowers, the oval shaped layer and the base layer of the card. All other elements on the card were made using coconut white card.

I rounded the corners of the base layer of blush card, using a punch. The next layer also had the corners rounded. I used a piercing ruler and a piercing tool along the four sides. The third layer started off as a piece of coconut white card, again, with the corners rounded. I then repeat stamped this card using a stamp from the Creative Expressions "Valentine Set 2" stamp plate and a Tattered Rose Distress Ink pad. I then blended the Distress Ink around the edges.

I embossed a piece of blush card using the Couture Creations Tied Together embossing folder and then die cut this using a plain oval die from the Spellbinders Grand Ovals set. The decorative frame was cut from the same blush card, using a die from the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One set and a smaller sized die from the Grand Ovals set. I cut an assortment of small flowers from coconut white card using the Spellbinders Cherry Blossom die set and inked through the dies using the Tattered Rose Distress Ink pad. These were then glued onto the embossed card, as shown. 

The two sprays of leaves were die cut using the Spellbinders Foliage die set and then I inked through the die with the Tattered Rose Distress Ink. The leaves were then stamped using the same stamp used on the background. 

The flowers were made using the Spellbinders Spiral Blossom Four die. Double sided adhesive sheet was attached to some blush card before the flowers were die cut. The backing was then removed and micro beads were added to the adhesive. The flowers were then rolled, as usual, and secured with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear glue.

The sentiment was stamped onto coconut white card using a black archival ink pad. This was then die cut using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five die set and I inked through the die, using the Tattered Rose Distress Ink pad.

The bow was tied using American Seam Binding in rose petal and flesh, finished off with a pink dazzler.

His and Hers Masquerade

This card features one of the prettiest Spellbinders dies, which is the mask from the Venetian Accents.

The tags have been made using the Studio 490 Tag Topper Art Parts, which were painted with Distress Crackle Paint. A tag shape was cut to fit each of the tag toppers. One tag was heat embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ultra Thick Vintage Blush embossing powder. The second tag was heat embossed using Tarnished Silver from the Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ultra Thick embossing powder range.

The tags have been added to layers of blush card, a plain base, then a layer which has been pierced around the outside edge, then a third layer covering the bottom half of the card, which has been embossed using the Spellbinders Garden Lattice M-Bossabilities folder. This embossed piece has been topped with a die cut lace trim, using the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lace Border die. 

The bows have been made by spritzing and scrunching two colours of seam binding ribbon and  making bows from these, then topping each with a dazzler.

The sentiments have been die cut using the Spellbinders Back to Basics Tags set and been tied to the bows with bakers twine.

Happy crafting!

Gilded Poppies

Here is today's card . . . 

Quite a straightforward design, using milk coloured card and metallic vintage gold card, with gilding flakes. The poppies design is from the That Special Touch Poppies Mask. 

I sponged Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue through the mask using a piece of Cut 'n' Dry foam. The mask was then removed and gilding flakes were applied, before being brushed over with a large stencil brush to define the gilded image. The decorative frame was cut using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight and the standard Labels Eight dies. 

The photo doesn't show it very clearly but the milk layer of card was embossed using the Couture Creations Intrinsic Embossing Folder. 

The bow was made using a piece of champagne sheer wrinkled edge ribbon and a brown dazzler, both from Creative Expressions.

Happy crafting!

Summer has arrived!

It's a lovely sunny evening as I prepare this post, and looks like we are in for a beautiful weekend. I am going to a charity Garden Party tomorrow so the weather should help entice the crowds.

A twisted easel card today in blush . . . 

The card front has been embossed (but I have a confession - this is a sneaky peek at a new embossing folder design coming soon), before being die cut using the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Detailed Scallop die set. The embossed area has been highlighted with distress inks. I made two little slits with a craft knife, either side, to thread some seam binding ribbon through from the back, making a bow at the front.

The sentiment comes from the Creative Expressions Special Sentiments stamp set and has been die cut using the smallest die in the same 5 x 7 Detailed Scallop set.

The "stopper" for the easel has been made by die cutting a long piece of card using a die from the Spellbinders Parisian Accents set and seam binding ribbon has been threaded through this. Flowers have been added, made from spiral flower dies.The leaf sprays come from the Spellbinders Foliage Two die set.

The finishing touch was adding the butterfly.

This was die cut from an old drinks can, which I cut into, and was then coloured using alcohol inks. 

Happy crafting!

Pure Pleasure

Today's post shows a quick card made using an embossing folder.

Emboss a white piece of card using the Couture Creations Pure Pleasure embossing folder. Extend the pattern by moving the folder along the card and embossing for a second time. 

Using a blending tool, gently rub over the raised areas with Distress Inks.

Highlight the flower centres with glitter or a glitter glue. 

Die cut the butterfly embellishment using Spellbinders Les Papillions die set.

Stamp the sentiment using the Creative Expressions Special Sentiments stamp set.

Happy crafting!

Polished Silk Daisies

Today's card features the Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitters and Foundations papers.

Cover a piece of coconut white card with a sheet of adhesive film. The film has protective backing sheets either side of the adhesive, one which feels more like paper and the other which is more shiny. It usually doesn't matter which side you peel off to stick to the card but this time you need to make sure the shiny backing is left on the adhesive and the backing sheet on the opposite side is removed. 

Die cut an assortment of flowers using the Spellbinders Jewelled Flowers die set, from one end of the card. Peel off the shiny protective backing layer from the adhesive on one of the die cut flowers (keep this shiny backing to one side) and pour Silver Chrome polished silk glitter on. Tap off the excess and pour it back into the pot. Polish the glitter with your finger for a few seconds. Repeat this process with the other die cut flowers using Western Blue and Penny Copper polished silk glitters. 

Trim a rectangle from the remaining piece of card. Peel off the backing paper and place the shiny die cut flowers you put to one side earlier onto the sticky adhesive. Pour Silver Chrome polished silk glitter onto the card and polish as with the flowers earlier. 

Remove one or two of the shiny flowers and pour Western Blue polished silk glitter onto the card. Polish this colour into the card. Remove the remaining shiny flowers and pour Penny Copper polished silk glitter onto the card and polish as before. 

Layer this onto white card, and co-ordinating backing papers, as shown.

Trim with a bow and your message then add a few dazzlers to the flower centres.

Happy crafting!
