Card made at thursday club

Hello and to days post is a card made at Thursday craft lesson i attend, I know people think I am mad as I do teach that i go to lessons but i do love the social side of it talking about crafts for 2hours lol.

This card is a very nice shaped easel and if people want I can give the measurements if i can find were i wrote them down,

I have to say I was not impressed with my coloring as i was out of my comfort zone and was only supplied couple of pens, now when at home I have a full set to play about with so have more choices,

Until next time,

Keep on crafting.

My way of storing stamps

hello and this is to show how i store all my unmounted stamps,

I have been out and bought a little file storage unit.

 the files are all numbed .

 i do stick all unmounted stamps on to plastic and used to keep in boxes but now i have slipped these in to little pockets then these go in to there own file storage,

 and so on my computer is a list of numbers telling me what is in each one so i can look and go strait to that number file and find what i want.

i used a number system as if i want to change them around or get rid then i only have to update the file on my computer not rewrite out the label.

Well i hope someone has found this interesting and useful.

until next time,

keep ion crafting.

I have also used some kraft card and a couple distress inks,

every thing from the cd-rom was printed on to watercolor card stock.

The left hand pic is the rose plaid paper printed on to watercolor card stock and used with the corresponding folder, and the right hand pic is after i took a 1/2 dried ink pad and ran it all over.

all i did was matt and layer all card stock used distress inked the edges and added lace and a flower,
the sentiment is stamped on to kraft card with brown ink and i got a red ink pen and dotted on to this for effect. i thought it would be nice to stamp all the corners to match.

quick spectrum noir pencil card tutorial

Hello to you all and today is a quick pencil tutorial with spectrum noir pencils and pencil blending solution.

primary set, card blank, stazon, postet notes the stamp set was with a magazine and they are indigoblu.

 so hear it comes and there will be a few pics as we go along,

so first thing is to cover around your card blank with sticky notes or tape or paper so to leave a 1/2inc boarder,

now using a small stamp of your choice then stamp all over your white space.

tip- this also looks good on kraft card.

This is a little colour along i have done i used pencils 66 68 65 and used them in this order as 66 is darker than 68 please trust me,

as we are using blending solution you don't have to build up layers just colour down a good amount of each colour were you want it,

for the middles i have used 87 107 84 and do the same as last step,

now using the blending stumps and the solution you blend them together going from the dark to the light,

it should look something like this,

Then using a distress marker salty ocean or any pen you like draw around the flowers,

finally touch stamp a sentiment and stick in corner. and some pearls.

This is the finished card 

I hope you enjoyed this and if you have any suggestions for blog posts please let me know.

until next time keep crafting,

Diamond easel card totorial

Hello and today by request of a facebook friend i am doing a tutorial of a diamond shaped easel card,

 You will need 3 square bits of card all the same size,

 on one piece of card you need to fold one corner about 1/2 an inch,

 then stick

 on this same piece of card you will need to score it in half,

 then stick the tap to one of the other pieces of card

now it should look like this 

now when you Matt and layer on to the base you need to renumber to cut the corner away like so,

now you just attach the third piece of card on like you would do a normal easel card,

and decorate,

no one of my best but it was a example

Well i hope this helps some people to do some different cards,

Until next time,

Keep on crafting,
