Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies. Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?" Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!) Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Hi there Creators,
Today I'm showing off this Black Ice technique, all you need is silver foil cardstock, stazon black ink and a stamp set.
The basics of it is: stamp carefully onto the silver foil with Stazon Black ink (the stamp will tend to want to move slightly when you stamp on foil), allow to dry then drag the stazon ink pad across the foil card. You end up with a sort of aged looking Sepia/Black & white image, I think it's really cool - let me know what you think 😃
Here is the card I made up before the video, I thought the Heron Habitat stamp set would look good with this technique, reminds me of old Chinese pictures, I ended up using the Heron Habitat bundle (dies and stamps) as I do love the gorgeous tags in it, and thought the long wave type die would look good on the side
Then this piece of foil is the one I actually stamp up in the video, and this is how I made the card with it, there are actually 3 different foils in the Silver Foil Specialty Pack, there's a Brushed finish, Matte Finish and Mirrored Finish. The one above is the mirrored finish, this card is the Matte finish.
In the video there was one piece of foil (the brushed finish) that didn't go according to plan. So I figured if life gives you lemons.... make lemonade 🤣, so here's what happened to that piece of foil card that got accidentally bent, after the ink rubbed off (it was not good! lol) I figured seeing as it already had a crease mark I might as well give it more, then I wondered what it would look like if I heat embossed it with gold...... By the way, don't you just love the crispness of the stamped images? They are called DistINKtive Stamps (it is trademarked to Stampin' Up!), and give a layered look within one stamp, still amazes me that a stamped image can look so amazing.
Quite an interesting effect! what do you think? what I did was wiped the versamark over it once I'd creased it up, and dusted over the gold embossing powder, then brushed a heap off (or it would have been completely covered!), and heat set it
If you missed out on seeing the video, here it is....
Let me know what you think (especially about whether my "oopsie" card worked)
Hi there Creators Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches! So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you! Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know! I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think? So after all this talking I'm su
Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die. Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently. I'm quite pleased with the effect I got! This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264. I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th
Hi there Creators, I have joined a Facebook group called Crafty Collaborations, which is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator only group, demos all round the world, and there are various blog hops to join in with, which I thought sounded fun and might prompt me to remember to do blog posts lol! The "Share it Sunday" is an, anything goes one, which I figured was a great start for me! Today I thought I'd share with you a bit of a sneak peek! Coming in January is our new Jan to July Mini catalogue and there is this AMAZING suite in it called Fine Art Floral, so beautiful! I've made 3 cards up and kind of ended up a bit "blue" not in feelings though - you'll see.... lol The first card is this one: I love the way it's got the 2 step stamping in the flower I've used one of the gorgeous Blue gems in the middle and bit of Wink of Stella on the flower too. This next card uses the matching dies: Floral Gallery dies, and the stamp set: Art Gallery. Again th
