Festive Foliage BUT Not Festive :D

I adore this Festive Gatherings die set from Tim Holtz that my lovely friend Lourdes sent me last year and I just had to make a fun vibrant non-christmas card with the gorgeous eucalyptus die! And I teamed the backgrounds up with some of Sue Wilson's fabulous shadowed sentiments too :D

Tonic Craft Kit #81 - Tiny Twist Box :D

This month's Tonic Craft Kit creates a gorgeous little twisting gift box, and I also used some of the dies to make a flower shaped hanging ornament too (which you can see in Tonic's video) but for my video I decided to make some fun modern cards with all the lovely curvy and circular dies from the kit :D Christine xxx

Everything Purple :D

I made a card similar to these for the launch of these Embossing Folders and I loved the results with the purples, so I just had to create a couple more and show you the process too, and I thought it would be nice to show you how quick and easy a card can be with these stunning 3D sculpted folders :D Christine xxx

Marbled Butterflies :D

I wanted to make a special Thank You card for my lovely friend and viewer Vicki and had to use one of my marbled backgrounds (as I used a PayPal donation from her to buy the marbling supplies :D) and this is what I ended up making :D Hope you like the video! :D xxx

Celebrations with Scraps :D

These Celebration Frames from Tonic are fantastic for quick and easy cards, and why not use up your scraps at the same time :D The fabulous 120mm wide Craft Perfect Tissue Tape roll is brilliant for making it even quicker and easier to make cards with these gorgeously delicately detailed outline dies too :D xxx

Pink Ink Matt Chalk Paints :D

I couldn't wait to try these Matt Chalk Paint from Pink Ink, and they did not disappoint, and as you can tell I couldn't decide what colours to use first, so I practically used them all hehe :D And I combined my ombre backgrounds with Sue Wilson's Floral Cover Plate Dies too :D xxx

Salad Spinner Christmas :D

I love using a Salad Spinner to create backgrounds! And I don't think I've tried the wonderful Distress Paints with it before, so here's the first of my Christmas card videos for this year! It won't be long before the new products for this year come out, but I still have plenty of lovely products from last year to use too, so hopefully there'll be lots of videos on the way :D xxx

Glazed Hexagon Tiles :D

I really enjoyed playing with all the shapes in this Month's Create & Make Die Set, you can see those samples in Tonic's video, but for my video I decided to team the hexagons up with some of Tonic's NEW 3D Embossing Folders and make them look like glazed tiles :D

Cone-Grats with Jane's Doodles :D

I adore this NEW Life's a Beach Collection from Jane's Doodles, I made quite a few samples for the launch (they'll be coming up in shorts sometime soon) I was inspired by one of the cards I had made for this video, so it's not an exact copy, but a nice variation :D Hope you like it! :D xxx

Distress Watercolour Pencils 5 Ways :D

I originally made these cards for Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine and I annotated in the video that that issue is sold out BUT my Mum recently bought a copy of Creative Stamping and they've re-used it in there, so if you want the magazine feature, it's now in issue 135 of Creative Stamping! :D xxx
