Snow Fun

Hi all,

So I'm in full Christmas mode at the moment! It's no surprise with all these fab holiday releases. I have so many images ready coloured on my desk waiting too. Today's card features some new release stamps from Avery Elle...

I seem to have a obsession for Snowmen this year - they're just so many cute stamps with them around at the moment. It's also a classic image but also great for winter. So for this card I used the Avery Elle Stamps Snow Fun. I coloured them with my Copic Pens and cut them out. I created the background using Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean. I splattered the background with some water to create a light snow effect. I heat embossed the sentiment in white. I used the MFT Birch Tree Dies for the bare trees and Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside for the snow which was cut from Glitter Card. I finished by adding a few gems.

Avery Elle Stamps - Snow Fun

MFT Die-namics Dies - Birch Trees

Merry Bear

Hi all,

Another wet start to the week here but of course perfect crafting weather! Today I am sharing a clean and simple card that I made using some of the new release stamps from Sugarpea Designs...

For this card I used the new SugarPea Deisgns Stamps called Hey Winter. I stamped the images with Memento Ink and coloured them with Copics. I then cut each of them out. I used a Creative Expressions Woodgrain Embossing Folder for the background. I created the circle topper using MFT Dies Stitched Circle Frames and Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders. I created the Merry sentiment using the SugarPea Merry Die. I added some Nuvo Drops to the sky to create some faux snow.

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

Christmas Shaun

Hello,

Another dark wet day here today. I have some deadlines due for next week, so perfect weather for catching up on my craft work. Today I am sharing a card that was made for Crafts Beautiful for my Expert Feature. This time I created some Step Box Cards...

For this card I used the Shaun The Sheep Christmas Collection from Create & Craft. I made Shaun into a decoupage topper to make it even more 3D. I used some Doodlebug Papers from my stash, then added ribbon, lace, snowflake buttons, gems & a sentiment. I will do a tutorial on how to make these box cards soon. If you can get hold of the October Crafts Beautiful Magazine all the instructions are in there.
