It's Wednesday ....... Hip hip hooray ....

Hi guys, 

So I've been missing in action.

I've been to the theatre to watch my amazing son.  Awesome show. Credit to #Heathfield school drama department.  

Been shopping with friends, and getting glammed up ready for convention.

Anyway I have some lovely goodies to show you .....

Aren't these just super cute.

I taught these at an in house party in Yeovil last week.  Thanks Lusa for such a fab evening.

The background is made using the clear blocks and stamp n write markers.

Want to know more.  Message me.  

Do t forget the weekly deals or the pick a pack of paper offer.  

Have a lovely evening.  

Hello Honey and Stampin UP Blendabilities

Hi everyone.  Have you had a chance to play with your craft goodies from Stamin UP! yet? 

In today's post:

• Hello Honey and Stampin Up Blendabilities
• Two weeks of celebrations
• Weekly Deals
• Feel Good Greetings

Hello Honey and Stampin Up Blendabilities

Today are the last two cards I made in the set I showed you yesterday.  I love the world of dreams set, and really enjoyed creating the backgrounds.  But as with yesterday I wanted to finish each card differently.  Here's a link to yesterday's post

So today I used ribbon on my cards and also some Vintage Clear Buttons.  Can you see them.

Ooops, sorry they are not clear anymore.  I have coloured them with the darkest shade in the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities range.  It is so close to Hello Honey that it blends perfectly. And because they are alcohol ink, they dry perfectly.  What do you think?

Lastly on this one, I used Melon Mambo DSP and finished off with some of our new cotton ribbon.  So cute. 

Anyway hope you have loved these cards.  Would love to see your creations using this background technique.

World of dreams background technique class

Hi guys, Stampin Up and Crunchie Crafts make a great team.

In today's post:

• A world of Dreams and a bonus technique class.
• Birthday Celebrations Day 3
• Feel Goods

A world of Dreams ........

Thats the name of one of my new stamp sets from Stampin Up. 

I don't know about you guys but I see a lot of silhouette cards on peoples blogs and I always fancied having a go.  Especially the ones where they have such lovely backgrounds.

Well, I ordered my set, I just love this one, so cute and it has birds on it too. Next I set about doing some research and some trial runs to see how it was best to create these cute backgrounds.  

The easiest way is this

Background techniques using a clear block.

Take you clear plastic block and colour it with your Stamp'n'Write markers in your chosen colours.  

Next spritz your block with water.

The press down on your paper.  

This transfers all the ink to your paper leaving your block clear and your paper with a beautiful coloured background ready to stamp on.  

Today I am going to show you the card made using the tall stems in this set.

Bermuda bay with matching DSP and Basic Pearls

Blushing Bride with matching DSP and three small flowers

Tangerine Tango with some basic jewels to finish it off.

Aren't these just so cute.  I love the way the backgrounds really set of the image.  This has been stamped and then stamped off a second time to create the slightly lighter one.
