Victorian Christmas

Hey Crafty Friends,

Welcome back! I'm super excited about today's project, have you seen the amazing stamps from Scrappy Boy Stamps? If you haven't yet stumbled across this amazing company please do go check them out! 

When Sean asked if I would like to Guest Design obviously I couldn't say no! This Victorian Christmas stamp set is just perfect for those festive cards. It's filled with lots of decorative elements, lovely sentiments and 4 people images, you could use this set over and over again in different ways it's very versatile.


I went with a rather large card for my first project! This is an 8.5x11 piece of card stock that I scored in half to create my base. I cut a front panel to the same size and used a stitched square die to form 2 windows each side. With the cut outs from the windows I inked this with Victorian Velvet distress ink and Catherine Pooler Royal Treatment ink to stamp a small bauble element in a wallpaper affect.

To complete my scene I added the Time for Tea Designs open the door die. For added texture I used fired brick distress ink over a brick wall stencil.

I love how this scene came out even though it's a slightly larger card this just gave me plenty of room to add all those amazing images!

I will be back soon to share more inspiration using the Victorian Christmas stamp set.

Until next time, happy crafting!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
