Sending Llama Hugs :D


Another pair of cards using the adorable Llamas from the stamp sets that launched last Friday on CraftStash :D I couldn't resist making a shaker card, and I didn't even use a Llama on that one :D :D I haven't included the colouring for these images as I was being lazy and coloured them in front of the telly lol :D Hope you liked both these funny Christmas cards! I love the way they've included separate jumpers and heads and accessories, that way, you have minimal masking to do :D

Fa La La La La La La La Llama :D


I love these Llama stamps from CraftStash!! They launched last week, and there are 2 different sets available, I have used the Christmas one, and today (until midnight) both sets are only £5 (so check out the link below :D) I recently brought the stunning delicate snowflake die from the Fuzzy Lemon range from CraftStash, and I just had to incorporate it into one of these cards, I think it adds some nice interest, white on white behind the 'alpaca' :D Although this is a Llama stamp set, I really wanted to use that punny sub-sentiment 'Alpaca My Scarf' and they look pretty similar anyway, so I thought why not say its an alpaca lol :D :D Hope you enjoyed the video :D

Tonic Floral Affections Collection Spinner Card :D


An elegant spinner card using a bit of everything from the NEW Floral Affections collection from Tonic! This collection is launching tomorrow (Wednesday 6th December 2017) on Hochanda at 6pm, so be sure to check out the shows!! I was lucky enough to make a few samples for the show, and prepare a few demos, so fingers crossed I get some of my cards on the telly hehehe :D There are so photos of the other cards at the end of this post too :D I just had to use these stunning dies to make a spinner card, and I thought as it's quite a lengthy process, that I would film it :D When making a spinner card, I like to use a really long piece of invisible thread, and I wrap it around the card multiple times (in case you wonder what I'm doing in the video lol) this way it stays nice a taught!! In the past (so about 3 years ago) I just used to sandwich the thread between tape, and they would always become saggy after I'd spun them only a couple of times, so I then came up with this solution and have been improving it ever since :D Hope you liked the card and the video!! Don't forget to tune into Hochanda on Wednesday evening and all through the day on Thursday too :D

The Christina Collection - Welcome to the World Baby Boy :D

 

An unusual use of a hand stencil... using multiple colours of green ink to create a tree! Add in a simple hand drawn trunk and your sentiment, and you have the perfect new baby card :D All thanks to Christina's amazing Baby Occasions Additions Bundle :D I had this idea while falling asleep the other night, and I just had to try it to see if it worked, and I LOVE the results!! and Christina does too hehehe :D I think this would look great with the addition of some tiny pink die-cut flowers for a little girl's birth too :D I might do a similar idea for my God-Daughters Christening card early next year lol :D Hope you liked the card and the video too!! :D
