Craft A-Long Thursday 26th November

I hope you are all well and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow afternoon for the next Craft-A-Long.  This week we are using the Snowflake Wishes Bundle (one of my favourites from the Aug-Dec Catalogue).  We are also using Misty Moonlight cardstock, which is one of my favourites from the 2020-22 in-colours.  To join the call click here.

Misty Moonlight Card

Cut an A6 card blank from Misty Moonlight cardstock.

Cut the largest Stitched rectangle die from Misty Moonlight and die cut the large inlay snowflake from the So Many Snowflakes dies in the centre of the die-cut.

Stamp the greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on Balmy Blue cardstock and die cut from a suitable rectangle.

Tie the Snowflake Splendor ribbon into a bow and add to the side of the sentiment.

Cut a piece of Balmy Blue Glimmer paper that will sit behind the die-cut, and attach it with dimensionals.

Add the topper to the card blank.

Add the sentiment with dimensionals and adhere gems to the tips of the snowflake.

Craft A-Long Thursday 19th November 2020

 I am a bit late sending this one out, but this week we will be creating a fun Christmas tag for someone special.  I love making tags, and my Christmas Class will be about tag making!  The link to the TEAMS call will be added to the Facebook event shortly before the call starts, if you need it emailed please let me know.  Click here for the Facebook Event

Die-cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die.

Using the Detailed Trio Punch, punch a ribbon hole at the top.

Stamp the greeting and owls in Memento Ink.

Colour the owls in using Stampin’ Blends, Watercolour Pencils and Chalk Marker, or with any colouring medium that you have.

Ink the edges with Crumb Cake and Early Espresso ink.

Add a small piece of crumb cake cardstock to the back to cover any ink that has bled through and stamp ‘To and From’ on it.

Add ribbon, gems and any other glorious decoration that you love!

Craft A-Long - Thursday 12th November 1.30pm (GMT)

This week, join me as we craft together and make a colourful Christmas Card. This uses glossy cardstock (or photo card) to create the colourful front.  This is the sample, however, I will be tweaking a few things as I am not sure about one or two elements!

To join in with the TEAMS call, click on this link: TEAMS

Create an A6 card blank from Whisper White card and a second layer (5 ¾” x 4”).

Create a card topper from glossy/photo card 5 5/8”x3 7/8”.

Add Adhesive Sheet to the back of some Whisper White card stock and die cut out about 7-10 snowflakes, depending on their size.

Stamp the greeting from the Peace and Joy stamp set in Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and die-cut out, as well as the layer (you could cut the word from the layer so that the word insets into the layer, or leave it to glue on top of the layer.

Stamp a greeting into the centre of the card.

Using the three inks, sponge onto the glossy/photo card to create a rainbow effect.

Add the greeting on, and then add the snowflakes around it.  Let them go off the edges and once adhered down snip off any bits that go off the page.

Add the topper to the Whisper White layer with dimensionals and add to the card front.

Craft -A-Long - Thursday 5th November, 1.30pm

 

Hello,

Its that time of the week again when I produce a card for us all to craft along with on a video call.  This week I will be trialling Google Meet, as I have not had much luck with TEAMS or Facebook Rooms.  I am starting to run out of patience and options!  Eventually, I will get to a solution that works for everyone!  Click here to join the meeting.

Here is this weeks project:

Create an A6 card blank from Whisper White cardstock.  Cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to 4 x 5 ¾”.

Take a piece of Classic Christmas DSP and cut it to 3 7/8” and 5 5/8”.  Die-cut it twice using the Curvy Dies. This is to get the decorative detail on the top and bottom sections.

Line them up on your Cherry Cobbler cardstock and decide if you need to trim any DSP off the ends, you want to create a 1 ½” – 2” gap in the middle of the card.

Glue the pieces to the Cherry Cobbler cardstock as a mat and layer and carefully trim around the curved edges.

Lay or glue the pieces on to the card blank and stamp the curved tree stamp, greeting and snowflakes in various colours.  I found it easier to have the curved DSP sections adhered to the card blank first.

Add a greeting inside.
