Sneaky Peek Moonbeam Meadows

Another Sneaky Peek from Crafters Companion new Moonbeam Meadows crafting collection, which will be released this Monday. Here I used the Papercrafting Kit & Insert pack which is absolutely adorable. I made a C5 long card with side opening, I used Collall 3d gel & all purpose glue, added a piece of velvet ribbon & 3 holly embellishments.

Moonbeam Meadows from Crafters Companion

I was tickled pink looking through all the image sheets, backing card & inserts for the new collection of Moonbeam Meadows from Crafters Companion. I'm really enjoying making cards from the kits as all the though & detail is there in front of you all you have to do is decide which card shape. Here I made a C5 card & added a couple if flowers a ribbon bow & a couple if pearls. Of course I used my Collall all purpose glue & 3d gel as I totally love it. xxx

More memory lane...

I made this from a simple easel card & made it look like a computer screen & keyboard. This was the 1st one I made, I went on to cutting the card away from around the computer screen so only screen was left with no monitor xxx

More memory lane cards I have made

This card is so easy to make & so much fun.

I used hair gel in a zip seal bag & taped it on the inside of the card so the dolphin photograph was all sqishy. I did this one in a lesson for a whole week of ladies who were made up with their cards. 

More memory lane card I have made.

I was given a photo of a shop & asked to make an Anniversay card for it. It was also the year of Jubilee so I made a large 3D card & added bunting xx

Memory lane cards. These are cards I made a few years back.

      This was made for a 21st Birthday

Cassette Card for 30th Joint Birthday

I was asked today to make a 30th Joint Birthday card for my Daughters friends 80s themed Birthday.
I have been away from the craft room for a few days but I LOVE the 80s so couldn't say no.
I rattled my brains fondly looking back to an amazing decade that I enjoyed so much & the old tape cassettes may of peen a pain especially having to keep winding the tape back in with a pencil so though I would have a go at creating a card in the shape on one.
And here is how I did it..................

I designed the tape winder section using Microsoft office.
Folded A3 card to make a large A4 card.
Cut a piece of thick black card to cover the front of the card
Cut the centre window tape centre out in 1 piece so I could use pro markers to colour the tape & screen in.
Glued the main tape winder section onto the front of the card
Glued the centre I had just used my pro markers in back into place.
Cut a section of black card to make the shape at the base of the cassette.
Coloured in some card candy to make the pretend holes & siliconed them on along with 5 black buttons that should be screws.
I then sprayed everything with Iridescent spray & sparkle.

Was nice to get into the craft room after a few days away but now time to go start tea & think about my next project :) xxx

Colouring with Spectrum Noir

This is something I have always wanted to do.... Being able to colour with different mediums. I look back at a lot of things I have coloured & though wow at the time but when I look back they are not actually that good :( Since being selected for CC Design team iv watched Leann Chivers DVD's over & over again & tried to practise but its finding the time & usually my free time is after 7pm & the lighting in my craft room is basically really BAD so colouring has been a no go. So one day I sat & decided I love animals & would like to give what I had learned a good go. I loooked at the image I printed & thought it looked pretty easy but when I started with the arm & was pleased I started to get scared of what body part to do next. I carried on & OMG I am so proud of it. I did make it into a large A4 card but it didnt seem to look right so I got out a 3D box frame & yipeee I have new wall art :) 

Everything I used is listed here including the Spectrum pens & pencils.

Spectrum Noir pens..Blender, IG 1,2,3. TB 2, LG 2,3, LY 2, EB 3,4, IG 6, 8 10 all pens had brush nibs on. Spectrum pencils... 001, 58,59,60,117,118,119 Blending fluid & paper stumps.
