Festive Berries Stamp Collection

Hello crafters!

Here is a fabulous Christmas card made at our regular craft workshops.

This card was made using Phill's Sentimentally Yours 'Festive Berries' Stamp Collection.

We have also used Memento Inks, Distress Inks, Archival Inks or Distress Oxides.  The Sue Wilson craft dies are: Poinsettia Additions, Twinkle Star Frame and Pine Cone & Greenery.

Stage 1 - cut out all the layers and die cuts needed for your card

• Base Card - 21cm x 17.5cm
• 1st Layer (Kraft Card) - 20cm x 16.5cm
• 2nd Layer (Cream) - 19.5cm x 16cm
• 3rd Layer (Kraft Card) - 17.5cm x 14.5cm
• TWINKLE STAR FRAME (CREAM)
• 4th Layer (Kraft Card) - 11.5cm x 8cm
• 5th Layer (Cream) - 11cm x 7.5cm

Stage 2 - using three different ink colours from the same brand (e.g. Memento in brown, red and green) create your Festive Montage on the corners of the Cream layers.  Build up the pattern with the 'Festive Berries Flourishes A5 Stamp Set.

Stage 3 - choose your sentiment for your topper.  Here we have used the 'Festive Berries Elegant A5 Stamp Set'.  If you wish to use clear embossing over your sentiment then you need to use a Distress Oxide Ink Pad.  Otherwise use your chosen colour.

Stage 4 - Assemble your card layers, using foam tape where you wish.  Add your Poinsettia Flowers and Pine Cone/Greenery.

Stage 5 - add some bling if you wish!  Here we have also used Pearl PVA on the Twinkle Star Frame in Berry Red and added some twine to match the Kraft Card.

Baroque Collection - Distress Ink with Embossing Folder

Hello crafters!

Here is a 7x7 card made at our workshops recently.

This card is a sample made using the Sentimentally Yours 'Baroque Stamp Collection', Sue Wilson Pacific Ocean Die 'Bora Bora' and Distress Inks with Embossing Folders.

The colour we have used on the main sample card is peeled paint, but as always we have included other samples made with different colours.

Stage 1 - cut out all the die cuts shapes needed for the card.  Here we have used 'Bora Bora' for the main centre piece, Perfect Peony Complete Petals and Delicate Fronds.

Stage 2 - cut out the layers needed for the card.  For the embossed layer we used a piece of card larger than needed and trimmed it down after to make sure it was the correct size.  We did this as we used the Gemini Machine to ensure we got a really deep embossed finish, as we wanted to ink over the pattern.  If we had cut the layer the correct size to start with, sometimes it can shrink when put through an embossing machine.

Stage 3 - we inked all the layers and die cut shapes using distress inks and smoothies.  Remember, you only need to colour the bits you will actually see; so don't colour all the card and save time!  It's worth practising with the distress inks first to gauge how much colour you want to add.  You can always add more, but you cannot take away!

Stage 4 - we used a 'Speedball Brayer' to apply the distress inks over the embossing folder pattern.  Load up the brayer with a good amount of ink and then lightly roll over the raised embossed pattern.  You will need to apply the ink a few times and in different directions to get an even coverage.

Stage 5 -  stamp your chosen Sentiment; here we have used 'Baroque Mini Sentiments'.  Then shape your flowers, assemble all the layers and add some bling!

Here is the list of what we used with links to the www:

• 7x7 Card Blank
• Sentimentally Yours 'Mini Baroque Inspirational Sentiments'
• Sentimentally Yours 'Mini Baroque Everyday Sentiments'
• Sue Wilson Die - Pacific Ocean 'Bora Bora'
• Sue Wilson Die - 'Perfect Peony Complete Petals'
• Sue Wilson Die - Delicate Fronds
• Distress Inks - Peeled Paint
• Creative Expressions Foundation Card - Bright White
• Creative Expressions - A4 Embossing Folder 'Fine Finials'
• Creative Expressions - Smoothies
• Creative Expressions - Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear PVA Glue
• Creative Expressions - Glitter Jewels 'Crystal Chips'
• Shape It Tool

Burgundy & Cream - On Your Special Day- Showcasing The Brand New Dies 'From The Heart Collection'

Good Morning Everyone,

I can't begin to tell you how honoured I am to have Phill's New 'From The Heart' Collection Dies to work with. They are absolutely amazing, and cut first time every time.

For those of you who know Phill you will know what he's like for attention to detail. Well I can say he has certainly excelled himself with the launch of his New Dies.

I absolutely loved creating the samples, and hope these will give you inspiration.

Today's Card:-

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

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

This is what I used:-
A4 Card Blank

Sue Wilson Peony Dies
Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves
Sue Wilson Canadian Collection Border, Corner & Tags
Sue Wilson Embossing Folder Lattice Hearts
Spellbinder Dragon Delight
Creative Expression Pearl Strips
Glossy Accents
Diamond Sprinkles
Cosmic Shimmer Glue

This is what I did:- 

First I cut the layers:-
2 pieces of burgundy  card cut to 8 x 12.5 and 7.5 x 12
2 pieces of cream card cut to 7.75 x 12.25 and 7.25 x 11.75
then using the Lattice Hearts Embossing Folder I embossed the  smallest cream card.
 Placing the corner tag at an angle I carefully cut this out,then added all the layers to the base card.

Sentiment

Using the  Austrian Collection  Innsbruck Dies
I cut these out using Cream Card and mounted this onto Burgundy card, then attached to the main card using pads to give dimension.

Then using burgundy card stock I cut out the Sentiment 'On Your Special Day' from  the New 'From The Heart ' Collection.
I then attached this flat to the centre.

Flowers

Using the Peony Dies I cut a selection of flowers out using scraps of burgundy card stock, then shaped and glued these together before adding to the card.

I then cut out the Laurel Leaves again using burgundy card, and added to the card.




                                                            

Finishing Touches  
 
 I added the Dragonfly using the Dragon Delight Die and Burgundy Card stock, before adding Diamond Sprinkles to the wings, and also to the flowers and leaves.

I then added pearl strips across the top of the border die.

I attached a couple of hearts to the top corners of the card.

Finally I added Glossy Accents to the Hearts of the Sentiment and corners.
                                               Happy Crafting

                                  

Ultimate Baroque Collection - Have A Wonderful Birthday

Good Morning Everyone.

Another day closer to Christmas, so for those of you who have completed their cards I thought we would have a change and do a Birthday Card.

Today's card I created in Black & Cream. All the products I used can be found on Phill's Website -

www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

Using Black Card Stock I cut the shape of the card using the largest of the Pierced Rectangle Dies.

Then using the next 2 sizes down and Cream Card Stock I cut these out and attached to the main card (flat) using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

 

Sentiment

Using Cream Card Stock and the smallest plain die I cut this out.

I then stamped across the centre using the Baroque Strip from the Border Sentiment Stamps and Black Soot Distress Ink.

Next I chose 'Have A Wonderful Birthday' from the Baroque Border Sentiments and stamped this again using Black Soot Distress Ink.
I attached to the card using pads to give dimension, then decorated the edges with Twinkles

Finishing Touches

I cut several flowers using The Complete Peony Dies and alternating with Black & Cream Card.

I then cut the Laurel Leaves using Cream Card, then while these were still in the die I used Black Soot Distress Ink to colour the leaves.

I then shaped these and attached to the card.
Finally I added Pearls around the edges of the Black Card and also the Cream layer, not forgetting the centre of each flower.

                                 Happy crafting

Giveaway Card - Birthday Wishes in Chic Moss

Good Afternoon Everyone

So,.. here I am, with enough time to actually do a Blog post and I thought, it's been a while since I did a card giveaway,so .. here you go :-)

I'll just say a big thank you to Barb too, she's doing a grand job keeping you inspired with some of her cards she's made for me for samples.. Thanks Barb!

This is an 8x8 card I made using some of my Chic Moss collection of Cosmic Shimmer products (a colour that I absolutely love!)

To be in with a chance to win this card, signed by lil ole me, please just ensure you are following my Blog and leave a comment on this post..
I'll draw a winner randomly next Monday morning (14th) and notify you here :-)

Here's what I used (and, surprisingly, I've made the list links to the items on my website too (well, it does make it easier for you to swish over and buy them lol)

Sentimentally Yours Dragonfly Retreat A6 Background Stamp
Sentimentally Yours Scribbled Frame Sentiments Stamp Set (must have set in my humble opinion)
Chic Moss : Colour Cloud, Ink Mister and PVA Glue
Sue Wilson Delicate Fronds Die Set
Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies Complete Petals Die Set (must have set in my humble opinion)
Sue Wilson Ornamental Corners Die Set
Sue Wilson Pierced Tags Die Set
Sue Wilson A4 Leafy Montage Embossing Folder
Creative Expressions Self Adhesive Pearl Strips - Double Row White
Creative Expressions Smoothies


And here's what I did... 

I embossed an A4 piece of white cardstock with the lovely Leafy Montage embossing folder, (important to do this before trimming it down as embossing cardstock alters the dimensions slightly) I then trimmed it to 19.5cm x 19.5cm.

I then cut the aperture to the left side of my embossed cardstock and I did this with one of Sues' Striplet dies as most have the plain outer edge (you can, of course, use your craft knife)
I positioned the aperture onto my card blank as if I was going to stick it and made a pencil mark around all four corners (this gave me a a guide with which to stamp within)

Using the fabulous Smoothies and my even more fabulous Dragonfly Retreat background stamp, I applied Chic Moss Colour Cloud directly to the stamp and stamped within the pencil lines.

At this point, you may find it easier to apply the self adhesive pearls around the aperture (I do it at the end so I don't have them where they don't need to be, but it is trickier trying to navigate them under flowers etc) The single row was created by simply cutting a strip of the double row pearls in half :-)

I then used foam tape on this piece, for dimension, then stuck it to my card blank.

I then did all my die cutting, which was:-

4 x daisies x 2

2 x Ornate Corners

2 x Delicate Fronds

2 x Pierced Tags

The ornate corners, one of the pieced tags and a selection of the delicate daisies were popped into my ink misting box and misted all in one go with the Chic Moss Ink Mister.

The flowers were shaped and stuck together with my trusty Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue and finished off in the centre with a good blob (very technical lol) of the Chic Moss Pearl PVA Glue.

I then stamped my 'Birthday Wishes' from my Scribbled Frame Stamps (these are a fabulous smaller size to my other sentiments so work perfectly on these tags)

Last but not least, I assembled it all together as you see in the photo and finished with the double row white pearls around the open edges.

Here's a bigger photo :-)

Don't forget my very first shows on Hochanda are:-

Tuesday 15th September at 8pm

Wednesday 16th September at 9am, 10am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm

I hope you will join me!!

Remember, if you don't have Sky or Freeview/Freesat you can watch in High Definition on their website

Happy Crafting!

Next I took a piece of 2 x 7.75 and 1.5 x 7.75 cream card and using the Inner Border Die I cut both out, then attached the 2 together - repeat this with the remaining 2 pieces, then attach both to the card lining up with the inner cream layer and the outer teal layer.

Sentiment

Using Spellbinder Labels Twenty Eight I cut the largest three out.
I then sprayed the largest with Decadent Teal Mister Spray.

Then with the smallest of the three I stamped this using the New Decadent Teal Colour Cloud and the Decadent Damask Occasion Stamp.

I attached the largest one to the card flat using Cosmic Shimmer Glue, the second two I attached with pads to give dimension.



Finishing Touches

I added Twinkles to the edges of the Border Dies and also around the edge of the second largest Label Die.

Starting with the 7.75 square cream card I used the NEW Decadent Oak Colour Cloud to ink around the edges of the card. I then attached this and the patterned Decadent Damask paper to the base card.

Next taking the 4 pieces of cream card and the Inner Border Tag I cut each piece of card, Once this was complete I used the smallest and medium size stamps from the Decadent Damask Border & Icon Collection and randomly stamped the smallest piece of card using first and second generation.
Once this was dry I attached all the layers together, then added a strip of seam binding securing this on the reverse before attaching this to the main card.

Spellbinders Flutters Die

For the Base
1x A3 Plain White Card Stock folded in half (21 x 29.5)
Then cut 2 layers - first layer 20.5 x 29
second layer 20 x 28.5
Cut 2 strips for centre panel 6.5 x 28.5 and 4.5 x 28.5

Matt and Layer

The first layer I left plain.
Second layer I stamped the corners and heat embossed, then used the embossing folder. Add both layers to the card.
For the centre panel I used one of the long stamps and heat embossed along the edges. The second strip I put through the embossing folder.

Focal Point
Using a plain piece of card, stamp and heat emboss using the rectangle stamp, then cut this out. Cut a rectangle using the die, then stamp sentiment and heat emboss. These are then added to the card using pads to give dimension.



Flowers   

I cut a large amount of flowers using offcuts of white card and moulded these before gluing together.
Once dry I added twinkles around the edges of the petals
and a gem to the centre.
The butterfly I layered and added twinkles.

Finally to finish the card I made a bow using Seam Binding (no prizes for guessing who taught me lol) and added a gem and stick pins.
