Stencils with Ink Mister & Texture Paste

Hello crafters!

Here is a card made during our in-store workshops.

This card was made using Phill's new A5 Stencils with his gorgeous 'Carnival Colours' (texture paste,  ink mister, colour cloud and gilding polish)

We also used Sue Wilson dies; Succulent Garden and Orange Blossom Leaves.

The colour on the main sample card is Tangy Tangerine and the stencils used are Grungy Dots and Birthday Sentiments. As always we've included examples made using the other Carnival Colours and stencils.  (all these cards have been made by crafters at our workshops)

Stage 1 - Cut out the card layers needed for the card (and die cuts) in bright white and black foundation card.  Although, we have done a square card these stencils work well with A5 cards too!

Card layers are:

• Base Card - 17cm x 17cm
• 1st layer in black - 16.5cm x 16.5cm
• 2nd layer in white - 16cm x 16cm
• 3rd layer in black - 13.5cm x 13.5cm
• 4th layer in white - 13cm x 13xm
• Banner black is 3cm x 12cm
• Banner white is 2.5cm x 12

Stage 2 - Ink Mist the smallest white layer (13cm x 13cm).  To get this graduated look, we ink misted the card from the side. By turning the box on it's side and aiming the spray at the very front edge of the card only. It will not take long for this to dry, but if you want to speed it up use a heat tool!

Stage 3 - Texture Paste onto the Ink Mist layer.  This needs time to dry, so best to leave for about 1 hour.  Choose your A5 stencil and place over the Ink Mist layer about 3/4 way across from the heavy inked side.  Hold in place with Scotch Removable Tape on all sides. Using a spatula apply the Sparkle Texture Paste through the stencil with long strokes until all the gaps are filled.  Make sure you don't use lots of small strokes (like buttering bread) as this can cause the paste to seep under the gaps.   Scrape off any excess paste and put back in tub.

Stage 4 - Texture Paste your Sentiment Banner.  Choose your sentiment and then place stencil over banner layer and hold in place with Scotch Removable Tape as before.  Make sure you tape over any exposed lettering of other sentiments.  This really will not take much Sparkle Texture Paste. 

Stage 5 - Colour your flowers!  You can choose to colour your flowers with so many of the Carnival Colour products.  On our main card the flowers have been coloured with Tangy Tangerine Colour Cloud and then Ink Misted with Precious Metals New Gold to add extra sparkle!  We have also used the Tangy Tangerine Gilding Polish on some of the flowers for a lovely, pearly finish.  Shape your flowers as you wish and then stick together.

Stage 5 - When all the layers are dry, you can start assembling your card.  Use foam tape to left layers where you wish and add glitter jewels for extra bling!

Frosty Heather & Cream - Especially For You

Good Morning Everyone,

Another Crafty Day for me, I hope those of you who are able are spending your time keeping warm and enjoying crafting too.

On with today's card  -  another straightforward one.

All the products used to create this are available on Phill's Website:-

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

This is what I used:-

8 x 8 Cream Card Blank
Cream Card Stock
Flourish Butterfly and Dragonfly A6 Stamp Set
Frosty Heather Colour Cloud
Frosty Heather Mister Spray
Chic Floral Occasions Stamps
Creative Expressions Pearl Strips
Sue Wilson Noble Dies - Double Pierced Rectangle

This is what I did :-

I cut the Cream Card Blank to
7.5 x 6.5

Then I cut a piece of Cream Card Stock to 7.25 x 6.25 and sprayed it with Frosty Heather Mister Spray.
Once dry ( only a couple of minutes)
I attached this flat to the card.

Using the 3rd and 4th largest dies I cut out the frame and attached flat to the card.

The centre piece of cream card I stamped with a butterfly stamp from the Flourish Butterfly and Dragonfly Stamp Set. Frosty Colour Cloud.
Then attached flat to the card.

Sentiment & Finishing Touches

Using the 2nd & 3rd smallest dies I cut out the frame for the sentiment, and attached the frame to the card using pads to give dimension.
Then using the small piece of cream card I stamped the sentiment using Colour Cloud and a stamp chosen from the  Chic Floral Occasions Stamps. I added Glamour Dust to the centre of the rose.

Finally I added Cream Pearls around the edges of both frames.

                                                      Happy Crafting

A Special Birthday Wish in Chic Aubergine (and a Giveaway Card)

Good Afternoon Everyone

Fog,.. perfect excuse to stay in my craft room all day! :-)
So, I'm taking the time to add a few more posts to the Blog, featuring some of the cards from my last shows on Hochanda and this is one of my favourites!
I absolutely love Chic Aubergine,.. it's a beautiful, rich, elegant colour that works so well on both white and cream cardstock...
You can be in with a chance of winning the card I made on air in Chic Magenta, over on my Facebook Page,.. you have until Friday :-)

Now, I did notice a few of you leave comments on my Blog that you're not on Facebook, so I will do a little giveaway card on here for you too :-) (details at the bottom of this post)

So,..

Here's what I used:
Foundations Milk Cardstock
Chic Aubergine Ink Mister, Twinkles and Pearl PVA Glue
Dies by Sue Wilson, Portuguese Collection, Lisbon and Corner, Border, Tag Set
Dies by Sue Wilson Camellia Complete Petals
Dies by Sue Wilson Curled Vines
Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice (shocked you that didn't it ha ha)
Sentimentally Yours Scribbled Sentiments Stamps
Creative Expressions Crystal Corner Embellishments
Creative Expressions Wild Roses A4 Embossing Folder

Here's what I did:

I cut all my layers from the Milk Cardstock, these were, 23.5 x 17.5cm, 23 x 17cm, 22.5 x 16.5cm and a 2.5 x 18cm strip for the sentiment.
I then did all the die cutting, which was the base layer, base and largest lacy layer of the Lisbon dies, the tag from the Corner, Border & Tag set, 7 Camellia flowers and two Curled Vines.
The base layer of the card was ink misted with the Chic Aubergine Ink Mister, as were the Camellia flowers and the base layer of the Lisbon dies. These were then set to one side to dry properly (only takes about 5 minutes, depends how heavy handed you are with the ink mister)

The smallest of the card layers was then embossed with the beautiful Wild Roses embossing folder (love this one, so pretty!)
Now the ink misted pieces were dry, I stuck the lacy part of the Lisbon die to the ink misted base with CS Glue, then went around the edges with my Chic Aubergine Twinkles and dunked it in my Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels. I then did the same to the tag die cut and stuck that on with foam tape, finishing by adding two drops of the Chic Aubergine Pearl PVA Glue to create two faux pearls in the perfect colour!

I then added a big blob of  Chic Aubergine Twinkles to the centre of the Camellia flowers and also dunked these into the Glacier Ice (note that I haven't shaped the petals of these flowers, just bent them up,.. this gives more dimension, particularly when you stick them to your card with CS Glue as it dries quicker)

I then stamped my Scribbled Sentiment and, as always, I used my Black Soot distress ink pad, I then shaped the end to create the tag effect, then applied Chic Aubergine Twinkles all the way around and dunked it into my Glacier Ice (so love this effect!)

Once everything was dry, I stuck all the base layers together with CS Glue, then added the Lisbon topper with foam tape, the sentiment was shaped, to create a curve, this was stuck with CS Glue, but just on the two points that make contact with the card, I finished off by adding the flowers and leaves as shown, then added the lovely Crystal Corners to 'frame' the whole card.. simple!

And here's the finished card :-)

As always, everything I have used is available on my website at www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk, but I do know the Scribbled Sentiments Stamps and Crystal Corners (and indeed the pearl ones) are very low in stock..

Anyhoo, as promised, here's the card I created on air on one of my Hochanda shows and this one is for my Bloggers to win,.. to be in with a chance of winning, simply leave a comment on this post and make sure you are following my Blog (you must be a follower to be able to win) (you can also share my blog address all over t'internet too if you want :-)

I will select a name, randomly, from the comments list this Friday (6th November)... Good Luck!

Until tomorrow,... Happy Crafting!

Petite Scribbled Sentiments in Chic Moss

Good Morning Everyone

I've had a thoroughly good time at Hochanda over the last few days and I'm so pleased you are all loving my new Petite Scribbled Sentiments and the new Scribbled Birthday Verses,.. I do too! (albeit I am biased ha ha)

Thanks too for all the lovely comments on my Facebook Page and Twitter, I really do appreciate it :-)

So, you have some Blog posts from lil ole me this week and I will be giving away the cards I made as demo's on air (the last lot are signed and ready to go now)
I'll do seperate posts for the cards I'm giving away so keep an eye on the Blog and my Facebook Page..

Anyhoo, here's my first sample,.. in Chic Moss, which I absolutely love!

What I used:
Phill Martin for Cosmic Shimmer Chic Moss Ink Mister, Gilding Wax & Twinkles
Dies by Sue Wilson, Portuguese Collection, Lisbon, Corner, Border & Tag, Curled Vines and Camellia Compete Petals
Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels, Glacier Ice
White Cardstock
Creative Expressions Bed of Roses A4 Embossing Folder

What I did:

I cut all my layers in white cardstock, these were 23cm x 18cm, 22.5cm x 17.5cm, 22cm x 17cm and finally 14cm x 17cm (centre panel)

I then cut out my Lisbon dies in white card making sure I cut the largest die on it's own, then the three largest together, then the tag from the corner, border and tag set (including an extra one of the smallest for my sentiment), two borders and four curled vines.

The middle base layer, largest of the Lisbon die cuts and the tag were all then ink misted using my Chic Moss ink mister and put to one side to dry.

I embossed the smallest of the base layers and the inner die cut from the Lisbon set using the beautiful Bed of Roses embossing folder (I used the reverse or debossed side on this card as it's just as pretty as the embossed side)

I then cut 14 of the fabulous Camellia (Camilla ha ha) flowers in the same white cardstock, you'll notice that I haven't layered these flowers up either, I love them just simply shaped and left as individual flowers!

I used the Chic Moss Gilding Wax in the centre of each flower, not paying particular attention to this, simply a good application in a circle, I then let this dry for a minute or two, then buffed the gilding wax with a tumble dryer sheet (this also gets rid of any hard edges), I then shaped them slightly with my ball tool from underneath, applied a good blob of Chic Moss Twinkles and covered this with Glacier Ice Glitter Jewels (have you tried this yet?, looks amazing over the top of Twinkles)

I then stamped the bootiful Petite Scribbled Sentiment in Black Soot distress ink and edged this with Cosmic Shimmer Glue and applied Glacier Ice to this too.

The four curled vines and the centre die cut were also given the glacier ice treatment,.. just make sure you don't cover the whole of the curled vines with glue and glacier ice,.. I do it in loosely random spots to add more interest.. it makes them too 'heavy' if you cover them.

Now my ink misted layers were dry, so I started assembling the card.. so, the three base layers were all flat, the die cut borders were stuck onto the small ink misted layer, just on the edge and the edge of those given the glacier ice treatment, this 'panel' was then stuck on with foam tape in the centre of the card. The ink misted part of the Lisbon die cuts was stuck to the base layer and this was stuck onto the centre panel with foam tape, as were the extra layers of the die cuts, finishing with the sentiment on top.

The flowers and curled vines were all stuck on with Cosmic Shimmer glue around the centre to create a 'frame'.

The finished card:

And there we have it,.. doesn't take long to make this card really,..in fact, it's probably one of my quicker ones!

The card I replicated on air was in Chic Viola (another really pretty colour) and this will be the first of my give aways on my Facebook Page later today.

As always, you can find everything I've used on my TV Shows over at my website by clicking here: www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk  

Until tomorrow.... Happy Crafting!
