Christmas

Good morning and a very Happy

This week at the Digi Choosday blog the team have been challenge to make something else for Christmas. And as I love my tags when making my one for last week I decided to make another one for this weeks make, so here it is.

Once again I used the Octavia Frosted Winter collection. I love the colours in this collection as that's what colour Christmas is in out house. My tree and decorations are all in these lovely blues and purples with some pink in there as well. 

I used 4 different papers cut into squares, the edges distressed with ink and faux stitching added around the edges with a white pen. They are then matted onto a tag die, which I have cut using the Stamps By Me Loving Wishes Tag die set. All the embellies are then fussy cut and mounted on using 3D foam to make them pop. The sentiment is from Christmas Tree Script stamp set from Polkadoodles.

Now don't forget to go over to the blog and grab today's discount code and of course to check out the rest of the teams makes. And for you to enter our Anything Goes challenge to win some fab prizes!

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Good evening, I have another couple of cards to share with you that I made for the Stamps By Me show on Create and craft this afternoon. If you missed the show you can catch it here for the next 7 days. For these cards  I used the Much Loved Friends stamp set. And a few die cuts from the Detailed Flourish Synergy die, and the Build A Flower 2 die set.

 On the 2nd card I used the sentiment from the With Love Tags die set.

Toni is on Create and Craft again tonight at 9pm so be sure to tune in then to catch these, and more samples from me and the rest of the very talented design team.

Poppies.

Good afternoon everyone.

Are you watching Create and Craft? Did you see Toni Darroch and Stamps By Me on there? If not you can catch up on the show HERE for the next seven days.

I want to show you a couple of cards I made for the show using the 

These are made by using the Synergy Poppy Die. Which is just great for paper piecing, or for colouring if you prefer to do that. On this card I inked up a piece of card using distress inks in oranges and yellows. I then cut the die out using that that piece of card and a black card. I then swapped them around and added to coloured pieces in the black outline, and left the coloured outline on it's own and matted it onto a piece of black card. The sentiment is from the With Love tag die set.

You can also buy these from Toni's website as well as Create and Craft TV.

Get Your Happy On

Good evening everyone. Yes I'm here on an evening which is a first for me I think! I'm here to share with you a few makes from the fabulous Toni Darroch from Stamps By Me. Toni is doing a Facebook live at 8pm to show you some of her new stamps and dies, yes dies! The last dies Toni did, the tag ones, were a huge success so she has brought us more fabulousness. But, I'm going to show you some cards made with one of the new stamp sets. The set is called Get Your Happy On and I just love it! These are what I have done with this set which you can find HERE.

 For this card I used 2 of Toni's Generation inx ink pads to stamp the splats for the background, to get the purple small splat darker than the big one I just stamped it twice. How did I get in the same place? Well that's easy, I used my Eureka 101 so I can stamp in the same place as many times as I like and it will always be spot on. Then I used the black ink pad to stamp the fabulous large sentiment. I just ADORE large sentiments as it's so obvious what you want the card, or project, to say. I then added a strip of ribbon, a bow and a sparkly gem to finish it off.

 For this card I used the make your own ink pad using the blank pad and 2 inks from Rare Earth. As I love Blue and Purple together I chose to use those on this one. Then I simply stamped away the large splat and the sentiment. Again this is finished with a bow.

And finally on this card I stamped the sentiment in the Clear Glass ink pad from Rare Earth and sprinkled Rare Earth clear embossing powder over it and heated it up. This gives you a resist so you can colour over it and still see the sentiment. I used 3 Tim Holtz distress ink pads on this one to make the background. Then I stamped the splats in the black ink pad, again using the Eureka 101 to stamp them a few times to get them super black.

So pop over to Facebook at 8pm so you can see Toni live showing this stamp set and more. You will find her HERE.

Enjoy!

Hello again. I want to share more makes with you that I did for Wednesdays Stamps By Me show on Create and Craft at 1pm. This time it's cards made with the lamination Enjoy stamp set. I stamped the base image on a pink ink on the first card and then stamped the detailed stamp in green. The papers I used are from the pound shop but I thought they worked perfectly with this stamp. I added a bow and a Polkadoodles Sprig die cut behind the bow.

 On this card I stamped the background in a grey ink and the detailed stamp in blue. Again I added a bow and a die cut. I them added some gems to finish it off.

Hooray

Hello again. I want to share more makes with you that I did for yesterday's Stamps By Me show on Create and Craft at 1pm.

On these cards I used the Hooray lamination stamp set. I stamped the flower onto watercolour card using clear ink and embossing powder twice, and used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints to colour them in. I then cut the flower heads off of the second one, shaped them and decoupaged them over the flower on the base.

The papers on this card are from Stampin Up. I put all the layers onto 3D foam to make them pop, and added a few gems.

 You can see the dimension on the layers on this photo.

Mixed Flowers

Good afternoon everyone. Our lovely Toni Darroch from Stamps By Me is on Create and Craft right now, 8th November 2016 1pm, with some fab new stamps for you. And here are a couple of card I made for the show. These are using the Mixed Flowers stamp, and the How Beautiful stamp. 

For this card I have stamped onto watercolur card and used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints to colour it in.

 On this card I have used the same flower stamp and the sentiment stamp is from the Hooray stamp set. I have stamped the flower stamp onto Kraft card using a clear embossing pad and clear embossing ink, and then coloured it in using my Prismacolour pencils. I finished this off by adding a faux stitching border around the edge.

Come back tomorrow and I'll show you some more of my samples for the show.
