Good Luck Shaker Card :D


A good luck shaker card made using the fab new Creative Dies Plus Tags and Box Windows Die set from CraftStash's new Gift Box Range :D This is such a versatile set that doesn't even have to be used to adorn your gift boxes :D In the video below I used this add on die-set along with a Lawn Fawn stamp set to create a good luck shaker card :D I used the smaller dies to cut out my shaker elements (and I used the negative as a stencil with Distress Ink, and also with Sparkle texture paste too :D) I then used the gorgeous daisy tag to create a layering panel, and the double pierced circle to help create my shaker frame :D The little banner in this die set makes the perfect place for a sentiment, and adding in some stunning Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders really adds that touch of luxury :D Hope you liked the card!!

Instead of Textng Happy Easter 2017 :D



I should have posted this video last Monday, but I didn't have the time, so I saved it for today instead :D Happy Belated Easter!! :D LOVE this sentiment of 'instead of texting...' so clever!! And I think this gorgeous Drip Drop Spellbinders Die by Seth Apter works perfectly as a place for some cute critters to hang out :D I've got some plans to use this drip drop die as a stamp in my art journal, hopefully I'll get round to it soon :D

I think these little birds are just adorable, and colouring them in yellow makes them perfect for Easter as they look like little fluffy chicks :D I used the tiny Easter Egg stamp from the Lawn Fawn Plan on it Holidays set, and added three to each card to make it look as though one of the chicks was juggling :D For the backgrounds, I laid down a base colour of Distress Ink blending first, then I used the Tonic Falling Diamond stencil to add on some subtle pattern, I love doing this!! It also looks great if you add the stenciling with some Embellishment Mousse as well :D I fussy cut all the cute little images (using a black pen to colour the core of the card around the edges) then arranged them all into the centre of the Drip Drop die :D My finishing touches were then a scattering of coordinating coloured Nuvo Crystals drops, some sparkle pen, a black glaze pen for the eyes, and some Anita's 3D gloss to make the smart phone look as though it has a glass screen :D Hope you liked the cards! :D

Thanks For Everything Heron Shaker Card :D


A bright and vibrant Heron shaker card using the Freshwater Friends die set from issue 23 of Die-Cutting Essentials :D I made a heron shaker card for my feature in the magazine, and although the layout is very similar it's amazing the difference a colour scheme or using a pattered paper makes :D This was my fist time using Distress Crayons too, the result was very subtle, but I know it's there :D :D :D Hope you liked the card!
