You bring colour to my world!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing another project I made during the Card Maker Success Summit, this time inspired by Justine Hovey class on shaker cards.

The Heart Pencil Die from Heffy Doodle is so fun to work with. The possibilities of colour combinations are endless and the letter dies include a 'u' so you can chose European spelling or not!

Before you get die cutting it's useful to have some empty trays/pots on hand to put the elements in one place. You can chose die cut this in 2 ways. It's one solid die so you can cut the whole thing from one coloured card stock and repeat this way, the tray/pot will help you keep the spare pieces for a future project.

Today I decided to use up some scraps so I chose some smaller pieces of card stock and just placed the die with the size I wanted to cut more a single pencil at a time. This is also a good way use up scrap pieces of card you might have in your stash! My preferred card stock I use is Heffy Doodle which I buy in multipacks.


This die also comes with an outline die which helped me to cut my shaker window my pain panel, I then used the cut out as the backing to stick my pencils on all aligned correctly so I could stick this to the card base lined up under the shaker window. I recommend doing this step before you attach acetate to your shaker window so you can use your top panel to help you align the element underneath exactly where you need it.

To keep within the colour theme I am using over the rainbow mixes from Little things by Lucy's cards.

Until next time, happy crafting friends!

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 have

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
