The best thing about creating a One Layer Card (other than the challenge of creating exactly what you want in only one layer) is that it is easy to post and with crossed fingers it will arrive at it’s final destination in one piece and without any extra postage cost.

I’ll be back next week with the final in this series!

Video : Colour with ‘U’ – Reverse Confetti Unicorn Wishes!

I just had to have a Unicorn stamp and there are actually a few on my ‘wish’ list, but this one made it into my hot little hands first and for some reason it had to be a shaker and have sparkle!

In my video today I share just how easy it can be to blend Copic colours that are from different colour families.

Video : 2016 Same but Different Same but Different Christmas Card Series – No.1 – Wreaths (Six Cards)!

I’m so excited to be back this year with my Same but Different Christmas Card Series.  If you were here last year then you know that this series can contain many different ideas / themes / styles…  well, almost as long as it is the ‘Same but Different’ .

Today I thought I would kick things off with a theme, so lots of different products and every card unique but all with a similar theme and colour palette, all to make creating so much quicker and easier.

Polychromos pencils on Kraft cardstock.

Today I decided it was time to practice with my Polychromos pencils and I thought why not add them to kraft!  They are very similar to the Prismacolor pencils but different lol. and I had lots of fun and know that the more that I play with them the more comfortable I will become.

Lostinpaper - Penny Black - Love Art - Happy Snippets (1)

This poppy image is so pretty and with just a little masking I could add a second flower and make the stem longer.  I thought I would be a little daredevilish today and decided to only stamp 2 flowers….   I know, I know, an even number!

I used some Penny Black products today and they will of course be linked below.  I’ll be back on Thursday with another video, look forward to seeing you then!

Video : Altenew Focus Post – Remember This!

Hi there, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set.  It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Remember This.

For my first card (and video) I was inspired by this card HERE created by Lisa Johnson, she is amazing and I’ve had this card pinned on my board for ages and purposely didn’t look at it before I started creating as I wanted to create my own version….  there are still lots of similarities though, but how do you improve on perfection.  Thanks Lisa for the inspiration.

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

I decided to stretch this fabulous die from MFT to see what I can do.  I adore those die cut words that sit up on the edge of a panel (although I own none) and thought this would be a great die to try that technique out.  I have a couple more videos lined up to share but today it’s all about the ‘Pink Polkas’!

Video : It’s all about the CASE!

If you don’t know what CASE means it’s simply ‘Copy and Share Everything’.  You guys totally inspire me and to be able to make a card inspired by something that you created, it’s soooo much fun and hopefully it will inspire you too!  We are all friends here, and there is definitely no need to reinvent the wheel, especially when someone has already perfected it!

So without further ado, this card is inspired by my incredible crafty friend Linda.  This is the woman who said to me, ‘Yes, start a blog’, ‘Yes, submit your cards to the magazine’…  and she’d never even seen one of my cards lol.  Love you Linda!   You can have a closer look at her card at her blog A Happy Scramper.

Linda's Card
Linda’s Card

Her card is so amazing that I couldn’t resist the urge to CASE it, but it all went downhill from there…   Did you ever have one of those days where it all kinda went wrong, I managed to finish the card and you get to see it all.

Penny Black – Cats shaking it Birthday Card!

Today I have a quick and easy shaker card, using these fun Penny Black  Party cats.  I decided to colour them with some Inktense pencils and couldn’t do too much ‘mixing’ as it was on regular cardstock.  I kept it fairly neutral so  I could use it for a boy if I wanted.  (Yes, I’m still working on my masculine card stash…. )

Hello Gorgeous with No Fuss!

A quick publication share today (I thought that I had already posted this card but can’t find it… or the card post I pre wrote, so I am not sure what is going on)…. Anyhoo, my card today is all about No Fuss Copic colouring, so I didn’t blend any of the colours and decided to leave just a small highlight by not colouring all the way to the edges.  I made this for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.  BTW the grey’s do look similar IRL, they just didn’t photograph so well, or was it, I didn’t photograph them so well…  Oh, well.

Other Supplies:

Video : Altenew Peony Bouquet.

We all approach stamping differently and sometimes you just gotta work out what is easiest for you.  And that’s why I thought I would share with you today how I stamp out the layered flowers from Altenew’s Peony Bouquet set.  These flowers are so versatile, with the outline, without the outline, with the layers or without the layers….  I think you get what I’m trying to say.

Today I have two videos to share, the first shows how I stamp out and die cut the images and you can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

And my second video is all about putting the card together and you can see that video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Altenew – March 2016 Release, Bloghop & Giveaway!

0313_blog-hop-banner

I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2016 March release and blog hop, if you arrived here from Anna Kossakovskaya’s blog you are exactly where you should be.  Today we will be releasing 2 4″x6″ stamp sets, 9 2″x3″ stamp sets, 21 dies, 6 papers, 12 inks, and a set of acrylic blocks.

My card today uses the butterfly image from Altenew’s Ori Kami stamp set and the exciting news is that now there are matching dies!

Altenew Ori Kami watercolor Butterfly card

I decided to go for a watercolour look, firstly I stamped out and painted the butterflies, then I could easily die cut multiple butterflies from some stamp masking paper.  Then I masked off each image and painted my watercolour around them, I really like the little border that it leaves behind when the mask is taken away.
