Halloween-StampingDragonStyle

 

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.  Hope your day is going well? 

Don't know what your weather is like but here in the West Midlands it is raining cats and dogs. Good day to stay in and craft - hee hee

My post today is a DT sample for our new challenge over at Stamping With The Dragon Challenge which is Halloween.  Now I don't celebrate or even like Halloween so this is my very first halloween card I have ever made.

Shopping List

C5 black card
Orange pearlescent card
Backing papers - Spooky Night
Digi stamp - Jiggy's Pumpkin
Spellbinders - basic lattice die
Marianne die leaves
Dienamics swirl

Pearl moon guilding wax
versamark pen
WOW white twinkle embossing powder
Clear embossing powder
black versafine ink
Clarity alphabet stamp

I matted  my backing paper from Spooky Night selection onto a black card blank, I have also distressed this around the edges..  I then used my versamark pen to draw a spiders web coming out of the top left hand corner and embossed it with the WOW white twinkle powder.  Hopefully you can just see this.

Using spellbinders lattice die I cut some dark green card and placed that onto my backing paper.  I also die cut the swirl using a dienamics die.  My wording was stamped using the clarity alphabet stamp, black versafine ink and clear embossing powder and then cut out and placed onto my card.

Jiggy's Pumpkin digi stamp was printed out and coloured using copic pens.  Cut out, shaped and placed onto my card.   The leaves were die cut using a marianne die and green card finished off with some pearl gilding wax.

I do hope you like my first halloween card.  Thanks for checking out my blog and do pop over to the challenge here.

Hettie Jamming

Hi guys how are you all today?  Hasn't the weather turned nasty.  Gosh I wish this rain would go away, hate the rain I have to admit. Well I have just had a lovely weekend crafting, I actually had 4 days off in a row which was nice, got a good start on my christmas cards but I refuse to start putting them on here until November.  Don't you think christmas starts a little early, our garden centres are already starting to put the decs up and we haven't even got bonfire night over and done with. 

Well my post today was made as an order for a 21st birthday.  Now I have made a few for this customer so I had to come up with something different especially as I was making two for the same person, always difficult.

The image is one I have used before and shown on here actually, Jamming Janice from Mo Manning stable, a lovely image and so ideal for the younger generation.  My topper was coloured in with copics, die cut with a spellie die and I made a faux die to mat and layer.  My sentiment was printed out, die cut and inked up.  The flower is spellbinders too as is the flourish.  You know me and my flowers/flourishes, my trade mark I think hee hee.

The background was made with some music stamps from Dimensions, embossed with a music embossing folder and inked around using spiced marmalade from tim holtz.  All finished off with cosmic shimmer glue dots.  I think I am getting better at those now, more evenly spaced, practice is certainly the key.

Well I happen to know Hettie was pleased with this card and hopefully she had a lovely birthday. Hope you like it and thank you for popping in.  Take care and see you soon.

 

I have entered this card into the following challenge: -

Circles - Stamping Dragon Challenge

Hello crafters and followers.  Are you having a good day?

My post today was a challenge for me as I am not known for doing shaped cards and my Stamping Dragon DT challenge was 'circles'.  So I decided to go hybrid and use Craft Artist.

My shopping list
Digi Stamp- Circles Floral Flame
Backing Papers from Lemonade Paper Pack
Serif Craft Artist 2
Sizzix flourishes
Spellbinders Sun kissed Fleur stamps and die.
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - tea dye
Copic Ciao - Y02 | YR04
Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder - Tropic Yellow Lustre

I started with blank 8x8 page and the imported my two backing papers, placed on of them onto my page and stamped out my circle.  I them imported the digi stamp, used the cutout facility to cut out the centre of the digi stamp and when I was happy with that I then converted my digi stamp into an intelligent frame.  This meant that when I imported my photograph I could just drop it into my digi stamp frame.  Before I placed my photograph in I did change the colour of the frame.

My 2nd backing paper I used to punch out a couple more circles, roughened the edges and placed them behind my digi stamp frame.  I then printed it all out onto card and cut around the circle.

I used my copics to do a bit of colouring around the edges of my digi stamp and frame plus the butterflies.  Placed it onto a 8x8 card and cut around that too. I was then ready for my embellishments which are the spellbinders sunkissed fleur stamps and die plus the cosmic shimmer embossing powders all topped off with sizzix flourishes in brown card.

For My Mom

Hi there, how are you all, well I hope?

My card today was made specially for my Mom's birthday which is today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM you are the best. 

I daren't tell you how young she is, she can still clip me around the hearhole!

The image is from Mo Manning and is a digi stamp coloured in with my copics.

I have die cut using a spellbinder, labels  28 which I inked around with antique linen distress ink.  I cut a faux nestie for a mat.  The flower is a die from Xcut, daisy one.  The flourish I cannot remember which company that was from, sorry but I did by it from the Stamphut I think.  The embossing is an embossalicious 8x8 folder from crafters companion.

 

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you choose to leave, they mean such a lot to me.  Take care.
