As a huge fan of My Favorite Things, I am always excited to see their new release countdown… Continue reading MFT Guest Designer Day 1 – Happy Hedgehogs
I'm playing along with MFT Camp Create today, with a card for the 'Divine Dry Embossing' challenge. This isn't a technique I've really explored before so was fun to try something new. I used a tan embossing mat with my Cuttlebug machine, to dry emboss on white card the 'happy birthday' words from the MFT… Continue reading Divine Dry Embossing
I'm playing along with this week's MFT sketch challenge today. I used the MFT Fall Florals stamps and dies which, combined with the coral background, gave the card a very Hawaiian feel. On watercolour card, I blended abandoned coral distress ink, flicking with water and pink perfect pearls before drying with a heat tool. I… Continue reading Hawaiian Florals
Creating my own backgrounds for cards is one of my favourite techniques. I find it relaxing to choose some colours and a stamp set, then sit stamping whilst watching something on television. I created this card using the WPlus9 Summer Blooms stamp set and some Altenew inks, stamping the flowers and leaves repeatedly on a… Continue reading Blue Floral Background
The WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths is designed with weddings in mind, and it's so quick and easy to make an elegant card for the bride and groom. I used memento dew drop dye inks and the mini Misti to stamp the images from the set. The Misti helped as I needed to stamp the images… Continue reading Wedding Card
I love the Altenew range for their realistic floral building stamp sets. I was blown away by how beautiful these peony flowers were when I stamped them for the first time. I used the Altenew ink cubes to stamp the flowers and leaves from the Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set. The Altenew inks are sold… Continue reading Altenew Peony Bouquet
I'm following the MFT sketch challenge today. I stamped flowers from the MFT Delicate Pretty Poppies stamp set on to white card and coloured them with promarkers. I then die cut these with the matching dies. Next, I took an A6 piece of card and cut a strip off one edge to make it narrower.… Continue reading Poppies and Sketch Challenge
I'm playing along with the Seven Hills Crafts March challenge today. It's a sketch challenge, which I always enjoy. I thought I'd combine two challenges with one card, so I'm using the colours from the MFT Colour Challenge too, which are greens, yellow and beige. I'll link to both challenge pages at the end of… Continue reading March sketch challenge
I had some die cut flowers and leaves left over from when I made my last 'fall florals' card, so this was a nice quick card to make. How I made this card: I attached a strip of black and white striped paper to the edge of an A6 card base, then added piece of… Continue reading MFT Fall Florals Bouquet
I've had the WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths set on a wishlist for a while. So I was excited to see a nearly new set appear on eBay, and even more excited to have the winning bid. The set I won is a little stained from use but this is perfectly normal and shouldn't put you… Continue reading WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths
