Altenew Floral Fantasy Birthday Card

Hi!

I have been busy playing about with videoing and editing again, but I couldn't share the card I had made until after the recipient had it for their birthday. In this case it was a card I made for my grandma's 88th birthday that was at the start of the month.

I have been demonstrating layered stamping while out and about at craft fairs, and it seems to go down well, so this video shows how I make my layered flower cards. Today I was using the Altenew Floral Fantasy stamp set with the coordinating dies. I also used the Tonic Studios 'Will's Hand' Birthday die, which is lovely as it has a background layer with it. I also used a Dymo label maker to add 'happy' to the card.

Here's the finished card!
Please let me know what you think of my video, I think I got a hang of the editing a little better this time! I recommend running it a 2x speed if you just want a quick look as it's 15 minutes long otherwise! You can change the speed using the little cog icon if you are on a PC/ laptop or you can find the playback speed setting under the three little dots in the top right hand corner if you are watching on a mobile device like an iPhone.

Altenew Floral Fantasy Birthday Card

You will have to excuse my head getting in the way a little, but you really need to get right above the stamp when you are layering so you can see where you are stamping and lining up!

Love the 'happy mail' stamp I used on the envelope!
I also used a few of the stamps that came free with issue 178 of Simply Cards & papercraft magazine for the inside of the card and the envelope. I admit, I bought this magazine just for the 'happy mail' stamp, I loved it so much, and I had been looking for something for envelopes! I will use the other stamps and dies I am sure!!

Thanks for looking, and do stop by again soon!

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

Gorjuss Girl 3D Decoupage

Image
Hi, So in my continuing mission to use up things sitting in my crafty stash, I have been trying to use up all of my 3D decoupage. Anyone who has tried this, knows that the most time consuming part is assembling all the pieces, especially if, like me, you obsessively snip any little pips off from where it was attached to the carrier sheet and then shape each piece before ticking it all together! So, I have been sitting with a little tray in the evenings when watching TV with the family, popping out the decoupage and assembling it. Then, I can have a big session making up the cards during the day when the kids are at school! I was a bit lacking in mojo this week, so there's nothing very complicated going on here, so here's just a few pictures and quick tips :)  Here's all the decoupage I started with, made up the night before in front of the TV!  First I lay everything out with all the extra bits that match the various colourways, including tags and sentiment st

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
