Monochrome Craftwork Cards Wreaths

Hi!

Just a quick update, that I will return with some new crafty posts, but at the moment I am re-fitting our downstairs cloak room and am in the throws of re-tiling, and putting in a new sink and towel rail!
I didn't think the progress photos of that would be too interesting!

So crafting is a bit on hold (I might have had a sneaky day off to Crafting Live at Sandown on Friday and come back with more stuff... I was very good and didn't buy anymore patterned papers (okay I did, but they were £1 each in a 12 for £10 deal so it doesn't count!)

I did manage to squeeze in a little crafting and to finish the wreaths from the last Craftwork Cards pack in the monochrome colourway - I still need to finish the picture frames to go with them!


I didn't do any inking on this set, so I might go back and add some subtle sparkle with my new (yes Crafting Live purchase) Spectrum Noir Sparkle Clear Overlay Brush Pens, but that will have to wait for another day!

Back to the tiling!

Window Pop Up Cards

Hi! Sorry it's been so long since I did a post, but it's been so hot here in the UK this summer that I have been enjoying the sunshine, and crafting outside a lot, plus with my kids off school it's been tricky finding time to edit videos! Here's the cards I am going to share with you today. Santoro Gorjuss Cards Sea themed cards Panda Card! I have three videos on Window Pop Up cards (because YouTube only allows me 15 minutes at the moment!), inspired by Jennifer McGuire's blog post and video called Pop-Up Window Cards . If you haven't seen that post or video I highly recommend that you check them out first because I am going to talk about the same types of card, but with reference to UK sized card and where Jennifer McGuire's measurements fit, or don't fit onto standard UK A6 sized card blanks. Jennifer made four types of pop up cards: 1. Panel pop ups 2. Small strip pop ups 3. Full inner pop ups 4. Top fold pop ups Part on...

Stamps By Me different Colouring Techniques and 8 cards!

Image
Hi, For those who have been reading my blog recently, you might remember that I have been trying to use all my 'un-inked' stamps, because as we all know, buying and using craft supplies are two different hobbies right? 😂 Today I am sharing a bunch of cards using various Stamps By Me stamp sets, most of them have been Create and Craft members free gift stamps at some point, so I imagine a lot of people out there will have them. I think they are all still available either through Create and Craft or direct from Stamps By Me if you see something you really love. I have been stamping in different mediums, and colouring in different techniques, often while watching a film in the evenings with the family, so no video to go with them, just a quick description of what I did for each and how it was coloured. Here's all the cards I am sharing today, if you would like to see more detail and which stamps they are, keep scrolling! Stamps by Me - Made With Love These cards are a simple ...

Summer theme birthday card (guy appropriate)!

Image
Hi, Today I am sharing the birthday card I have created for my husband next week. Like many, I struggle with 'man' cards, and as my other half isn't into football, fishing or cars, options are often limited! I have done cricket to death over the years, so this year I have gone for a summer/ beach theme, and I will add a little ironic message to it, as like everyone else, we probably won't be going anywhere hot and sunny this year (maybe next year?) I bought a box of craft supplies on Facebook market place, and it was full of MDF shapes, including the large beach hut. This went well with the papers in the First Edition 'Sail Away' 6"x6" paper pad, so I painted it to match with some docrafts Artiste acrylic paints. I picked three of the papers from the pad, and trimmed three panels to layer onto my 5"x7" kraft card blank. I used a scrap of a fourth paper to cut out the small tag using a Spellbinders Sapphire tag die. I inked around the outside ...
