Wishing You a Day Filled With Love :D

Here's my video using the gorgeous Family Ties freebie from issue 164 of Simply Cards and Papercraft! :D This is the first issue that I've had a proper feature in, and what a phenomenal freebie to get to use :D I did some really bright and bold interactive cards in the magazine, but thought I'd go for a softer colour palette for this one, and use my watercolours instead of ProMarkers :D Hope you like the card! Don't forget, you can still grab your copy of this mag from CraftStash :D

Your Jokes Are Always A-Moose-ing Tonic Shaker :D

Another Father's Day card commission, and for this one, I decided to use the NEW shakers from Tonic, they come a pack with the coordinating die and a few of the blisters too, and I thought it would look really cute to have those gorgeous Lawn Fawn Moose standing in a basket hanging from a star shaped shaker 'balloon' :D I used my newly created (on my ArTi PoTeNTiAl channel) Magnetic Nuvo Embellishment Mousse Watercolour Palette to create my background along with one of the Tonic Aqua Flow Water brushes :D For the clouds I used another NEW set from Tonic, their Layering Cloud dies, they were launched at the same time as the shaker blisters, and are the perfect addition to a sky scene :D I hope you liked the card :D

Spellbinders Have a Zesty Birthday :D

A fun Zesty Lemon Birthday card using the Spellbinders Make Mine Lemon Lime die set :D This is such a cool die set, and very versatile with the shapes you get, there's no need to even include any citrus fruits on your card if you don't want, just those leaves and the flower would be gorgeous by themselves, or mixed with other die sets too :D To break up the solid yellow of the lemons, I added some subtle ink blending to the edges using Distress Oxides, and I nestled in the Twisted Palm die into the cascade of lemons to add some extra interest too :D I'd had my eye on that Twisted Palm die for a while, not sure what drew me towards it, but I finally caved :D :D For the background I heat embossed a Prima Stripy stamp using some Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder, then I added watercolour over the top using my Distress Oxides :D I added in the black and white bakers twine to balance the black of the stamped sentiment, and for the final finishing touches, I used my Tonic Aqua Shimmer and some Tonic Nuvo Crystal Drops too :D Hope you liked the card :D

I Think You're Super Duper :D

This was another Father's Day card commission, and I had so much fun mixing the Tiny Heroes Mama Elephant stamp set with the Super stamp set from Avery Elle :D It's great to mix your different brands of stamps together, and even though the line art is drawn in different thicknesses, I think it still works really well :D Overall this was a pretty straightforward card, I wasn't really sure how it was going to turn out when I started it, but it's basically just an ink blended background with ProMarker coloured and fussy cut out elements, layering everything up to build the city scene, and I thought I'd mix it up a bit and add the clouds in front of the skyline rather than behind :D Top tip: when you want a few elements to be adhered at the same level, in a particular arrangement, place them on your card, then attach them together using some low tack tape, this way you can pick the whole thing up as one piece, and then apply your 3D foam underneath :D :D Hope you liked the card! These super heroes are soooo adorable I couldn't resist buying the stamp set :D :D :D

Apple Blossom All Occasions Mix and Match :D

A couple of bold and bright faux letter pressed cards showing the extent of the swapability of these fantastic new folders and die set from CraftStash in their Apple Blossom range :D I LOVE the original folder 'THAT Folder' that this collection is based on, and I really love how CraftStash have extended the range with a coordinating die set and three new folder designs (with more to come :D) I can never get the actual letter press technique to work, I always get a double impression :( However, if you run the inked folder through just with one cutting plate in the Platinum, it just transfers the ink instead, and to get a better all over coverage, simply mist the inked folder before you run it through the machine :D Hope you liked the cards!! :D
