Flowering Bike to Brighten the Day

A bright card to cheer a winter's day

This is the Francoise Collection Clear Magic stamp Flowering Bike

I have simply stamped with Bark Crafters ink from ClearSnap I have stamped on A4 Cream Linen card

I stamped it again on some pre-cut plain cream card and some pink.

Then I put the layers together.

I used my Tombow Glue stick so that I can move the pieces around to get them perfectly lined up, well I hope that they are perfectly lined up!

I then coloured in with a mixture of Sakura Water colour pencils and my Stardust gel pens.

the colours are just slightly darker on the pink card, but you can still see them.

I used Sakura Micron pen to add the faux stitching. 

I stamped with the Bark Crafters pad on the ribbon and remembered to attach it around the pink panel before attaching it to the card!

Bubble Bloom Lilly if you are Feeling Blue Why not Paint Yourself a New Color?

Why not paint yourself a new color?

I have used one of Jane Gill's popular Clear Magic Bubble Bloom stamps this one is called Lilly and is from the July 2016 release.

First I stamped and embossed in silver, and then coloured the petals with Koi Brush Pens, place my foam pads where I planned to put the Card Candi and then started adding the Mark Richards 5mm Pearls.

I realised that I didn't like the blue of the leaves, so I added another colour on top, you can see the aqua colour on its own too. I rather like the 2 tone effect on the leaves.

The Card Candi is Time Flies and I added Glossy Accents to the aqua bubbles. the tiny bubbles have been Stickled with Aqua.

The papers are Time Flies too, I hope that you can see that I have sprayed the background paper with the blue colour from the Rangers Dylusions Mica Sprays, it is very subtile but lovely, of course it shows up more on dark papers.

I have embossed in silver around all of the layers.

I made a mistake when I was putting the card together and had trouble added the ribbon, it should have been added before I put the layers together!

I stamped and embossed the greeting from the same stamp set on the Time Flies paper, and used the Tag Top punch.

Blue Christmas Trees?

Here we have some wonderful blue Christmas trees, well why not?

The stamp is from the Francoise Collection and is  a Clear Magic set called Christmas Trees. Yes very original name, but they are very original trees.

sorry I forgot to take a photograph of the stamped image, I have coloured the stamp with Koi Brush Pens just the two colours, and then stamped on Woodware Glossy Card. then I punched them out with the blue size circle and scalloped oval. Then I sprinkld some Stampendous Shabby Blue Frantage embossing powder.

I cut tags with the Tag Top Punch the square one is a 2 inch strip and the curved top is 2.5 inches. I stamped them with the border from the Stampendous Snowfall Pair Jumbo Cling Rubber stamp set. I have used to lovely delicate Ice Blue Pearl Metallic embossing powder, it is one of my favourites.

I have edged the circles with the Ice Blue powder

and the scalloped ovals with the Shabby Blue.

I used my heat tool to distress the Organza ribbon.

I really must start to buy some presents to use these tags with!

Frosty Tags

We are such an organised lot on the Woodware DT, just look at Kim's wonderful tags

I am so impressed and such a clever way to make them

Kim has made a master board with a Francoise Collection Retro Snowflake and the Christmas word is from an old Francoise set too.

To make the master board Kim has stamped with bleach and then embossed with Stampendous Shabby Green Frantage powder, now I have stamped with bleach and coloured with bleach but Kim has embossed on top of her bleach, which is a new one on me. (every day is a school day!)

On the paler blue card Kim has used silver powder on top of her bleach.

Kim has used alphabet peel offs to put the names on the tags.

Kim has cut the master-board into strips and then used the Tag Top punch , it really is a must have pair of punches. I love that Kim has made the tags different sizes, but they are all matching.

Kim has created sixteen tags from two master boards genius  they are all slightly different, but a definitely a set and fast too.

Kim has been very busy on her blog this week so pop over and see what else she has been up to.

Woodware - Tag Tastic

Today we have a great set of tags from Crafty Debs

Debs has made three very different tags, they have all been hand cut, and measure about 6 x 3.5 inches.

Debs has started by sponging the card with red and green ink and then stamped the Francoise Collection Clear Magic stamp Holly and Ivy Tag. Debs has then embellished the tag with the holly punch and then the ivy is really the maple leaf punch, but that is one of the best bits about crafting, improvising! Tartan Ribbon works perfectly for this tag.

I love the way that Debs has stamped the Francoise Collection Snow Post stamp on her craft card tag and then again on white card. The one on the white card has been coloured with Sakura pencils and the simple square cut out. This is a great tag to use up some paper scraps the papers come from 'tis the season  one of the perfect prints pads.

The green ric rac ribbon is a fun addition to this tag.

This is a black tag, that Debs has stamped in white with one of the stamps from  the Jane Gill Hand Drawn Greetings Clear Magic sets. The stars have been stamped from the Francoise Collection Clear Magic Seeing Stars stamp. Then some sparkle added with the Mark Richards Red Assorted Crystals, then the tag has been finished with some red and white dotty organza.

I hope that you agree a great set of tags packed with inspiration!

Fabric Stamping and Stencilling

I don't think it works as an outfit but I love the apron!

I only have a childs form so the view is a bit limited.

here is the whole thing.

First I sprayed the apron through the Dutch Doobadoo Fabric Mask Art. I used the Red Fabric Spray a quick effective way to get colour on fabric through a stencil or to dye a small piece of fabric.

For the other colour I used ColorBox Crafter's Fabric ink in Aruba

I used the Aruba in a few places.

I used the Stone Crafters on tissue paper and coloured the images with fabric pens.

I have used the new Zig Decoupage Glue this glue is great and makes it possible to put napkins and other papers on to fabric. The stamp is Jane's Clear Magic Ball of Wool

This one is Knit One Purl One also designed by Jane.

I think it has turned out pretty and practical.
