Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, today I'm sharing something a little different to a normal card. The latest release from  Scrappy Boy  has a fantastic chocolate theme to it so gave me a perfect excuse to use my latest purchase the HoneyBee Stamps  Sweet Treat Box Die Recipe for boxes: 1. Take some card stock of your choice, alternatively why not check out the amazing co ordinating  paper packs to these stamp sets. I'm using Heffy Doodle card stock  Butterscotch  and  Bubblegum Blush 2. As this was the first time I had played with this die I used a fab video on YouTube which you can find  here 3. Stamp desired  images on  alcohol marker  friendly card stock and colour in your favourite medium. I'm using copic markers Colour Combo: Skin - E33, E31, E11, E00 Dress - Y17, Y15, Y13.

Hey Crafty Friends, It's time for a new release at  Scrappy Boy  and this one is another fantastic fan piece! Card Recipe: 1. Take a  stitched heart  background die cut from  oyster shell  card stock 2. Ink around the edges with  shaded lilac  ink 3. Take a scalloped frame die and die cut from a slightly shiny card stock. I'm using something from a mix box I got from  papermill  direct 4. Stamp  images  on  alcohol marker  friendly card stock and colour in your favourite medium. I'm using copics Colour Combo: BV25, BV23, BV31 5. Die cut a  get well soon  sentiment with a shadow cut. I've cut my shadow from the same as my scalloped frame and then word from a slightly darker shiny card stock. I hope you have enjoyed today's inspiration, remember you don't need a huge range of colour combo's to experiment, this was a new combo to me which I think I love and will definitely use again. Until next time, happy crafting! Jas X https://www.instagram.com/jasmincraftym

Happy Easter!

Image
  Hey Crafty Friends, Today I'm sharing a card full of Easter cheer combining two of my favourite brands  Sweet November Stamps  and  Heffy Doodle The sentiment from the Sweet November Stamps set needed a few extra treats added to it which is where the Heffy Doodle  honey bunny boo stamp set came into play, whilst I had this stamp set out for the Easter eggs I stamped some extra images that I felt would work too.  Card Recipe: 1. Start by die cutting the  slider  die from  butterscotch card stock. 2. Make your card base from the same coloured card. Slimline card base is cut to 8.5x7, scored at 3.5 5. Using a  basket case stencil and  scattered straw ink for a tone on tone look  Tip: when using a 6x6 stencil on a slimline card you can start at the top and then move your stencil down, overlap the pattern with where you started which will help keep it lined up to use on a slimline. This usually works best with a repetitive pattern such as the one in the stencil I've used today
