Arrow head card

14th May 2018

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog for today.

I am sharing a card with you today that I adapted to fit into a size C6 envelope.
I found a tutorial on YouTube for a 6x6 inch card by Sam from mixed up craft.
I do hope you give it a try.
I shared with a few people at a team meeting and they thoroughly enjoyed it. 
 

Base card 6 ¼” x 9” scored @ 4 ½

Mark with pencil at 1 ½” 3 3/8” and 4 ½” on both edges and mark centre short side @ 3 1/8

Score from 3 1/8” to 1 ½”

Score from 3 1/8” to 3 3/8”

Score from 3 1/8” to 4 ½”

Do this on both sides then concertina fold score lines and burnish.

DSP 6” x 4 3/8”

Mark @3” with pencil on the 6” side then cut from 3” mark to corner both sides

Triangle center piece for front of card and the 2 smaller triangles are for inside card.

Very vanilla cardstock cut at 6” x 4 3/8”

Do the same as you did for your DSP you will have two triangles left over which you can mat your dsp on, but you would not see it unless you trim 2/8” off your dsp on the longer side of your triangle.

 Cut a length of ribbon approx  8" and attach to lower inside card and tuck ends behind dsp as in video. Take another piece of ribbon and wrap around three fingers and cut and secure with glue dots to form a circle do the same with another piece of ribbon wrapping around two fingers this time and cut and secure as previously. Lay the two pieces on top of each other with glue dots then cut a piece of ribbon approximately 1 1/2" and wrap around centre and secure with glue dot then attach ribbon pho bow to left of centre ribbon on card with a glue dot.

Decorate front of card with doily and sentiment cut out with 2^nd stitched framelit. Attach with dimensionals using a glue dot tuck tassel under sentiment. Add some coloured pearls and a sentiment to inside of card and you are done .

New products card

Hello everyone,
15days to the launch of the new catalogue coming 1st June 2018.
I am so excited about the new catalogue. So many beautiful products and the new colour revamp is exciting too. You will find some of our old favorites returning like Mint Macron, Blackberry Bliss, Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade.




These are the new colours, aren't they just gorgeous.


In the video below you will see me using some of these products here.

Please note that the Crafting forever stamp set I used will be carried over to the new catalogue.

Hello everyone


This is the new Stamparatus you can order from the 1st June 2018 it is the best stamping positioning tool around as the plates can be moved across and up and down making it great for multiple stamping.
In the video you will learn 5 basic steps to using your stamparatus.

A warning do not let your magnets touch each other as they will easily snap.

I am very excited about this stamping tool and I don't know how I lived without one.

So make sure you get yours.

Much more versatile than the Misti.

Hello everyone.

Sorry it has been a while since I have been on just been very busy with other things.

Today I would like to share with you how I made this card.

base card was Dapper denim cut @ 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
#145601 Glimmer paper layer one measures 4" x 5 1/4"
dsp layer 2 is 3 3/4" x 5"
Basic grey 1 @ 2 3/4 x 1 5/8"
Basic grey 1 @ 2 3/4" x 2 1/2"

A scrap of basic grey approximately 4" x 5 " run this piece through the big shot using brick embossing folder. This will be cut into sections and adhered to the basic grey pieces to create the bricks these can be placed where ever you like I used my basic black watercolour pencil just to give it a bit more shading.
 I fussy cut the dragon and knight from the myths and magic specialty dsp
#145600
I cut a piece of dsp approx 1/2" x 6" and layed it on my grid paper to mark the squares to cut out then I layed them on top of basic grey to get the right length that I needed. I cut a triangle for the roof out of the darker grey cardstock. I also cut a grey window just by eye or you could use the home sweet home framelits if you have them.
Stamped the sentiment onto soft sky card stock then trimmed and flagged to size.
stamp colour was archival basic black.
I used dimensionals for the dragon knight and the sentiment has a double stack of dimensionals to raise it higher.
Almost forgot the glitter flag piece

Well I hope you like the project for today.

NEW CATALOGUE LAUNCH

Well hello everyone, so excited to be here today with some great news.
Seeing as I have been so busy of late, I have decided to do My New Catalogue launch at the Haven Market on June 3rd 2017.
 So save the date, as there will be some awesome products for you to see as well as some give away's and you can play with some Brand new products as well to make and take away with you.
Haven't quite decided on what the give away items will be yet. They maybe some retired items or they may be some new items, it will be a surprise package I think at this stage.

This is the promotional catalogue cover we are allowed to share with you all.
The new catalogue is full of some very awesome products this year and the New in-colours are so vibrant, that they have to be seen in person to really appreciate their beauty.
The new DSP papers are the best I have ever seen, I will have some at the market for you to view.
Some new DSP on it's way order in.

If you missed out on the Eastern Palace Suite bundles (available to 31 May 2017) i have some good news, they are available to order in the New Catalogue from 1st June 2017 but not as a bundle. 
I have had some great fun with the premiere bundle as You can see from previous posts here.

This is all for this post but stay tuned as I will be doing a later post tonight as well.
