Guest Designer at Frilly and Funkie!!

Good morning folks, woooo hooo what an exciting day!! I was chuffed to bits to be the DT's choice for a guest designer spot over at the Frilly and Funkie Challenge, of course I jumped at the chance to play along with such a talented bunch of ladies. Anyway the challenge is to create a card or project that reflects the abundance of the harvest season and the gratitude we express at Thanksgiving. Hmmmm, I had to get my thinking cap on for this one and I decided to take inspiration from the harvest theme and the beauty of nature and here is my project .....

A couple of weeks ago I was busy decluttering ( I don't know about you but I'm always decluttering and the house is still full of clutter lol) and I came across a funny little handbag that was a free gift with some make up. It had been gathering dust for years and was looking very sad, I decided that I'd keep the clasp and as I was prying it off the bag I thought I'd keep the bag and add it to my huge pile of stuff waiting to be altered. Here's the before pic

I began by giving the outside a coat of gesso and then smothering it with a layer of Flitter Glu and Kroma Crackle before blasting it with my heat gun. I'm so loving this effect at the minute, I'm crackling everything in sight lol. Once it was dry I added some colour with my PanPastels and gave it a coat of Maimeri Glossy Gel Medium, it looks a bit like a dragons egg doesn't it?

For the inside I stamped two little scenes, the top one with stamps from Joanna Sheen and the bottom one using a Clarity Stamp, I coloured them with Graph'It markers and created a cloudy sky with some PanPastels. I layered the little scenes up over loads of tissue paper. Next It was time to add lots of leaves and other goodies. I die cut lots of leaves from kraft Glassine, coloured with Memento Inks in various shades of yellow, red, purple, green and orange. I crumpled all the leaves up for some texture. I added the leaves around the edges of the little scenes, adding some little berries, lots of raffia and some die cut flowers made from Crinoline Fabric. 

To finish off I added some gingham bows and some little rusty bells. 

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

Artistic Inspirations: Fall colours

Cuttin and Stampin: Autumn harvest

Heck of a Challenge: Autumn colours

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: anything goes

Sweet Stampin: Woods, trees, leaves

There she goes: Leaves

Fancy Flourishes from Chocolate Baroque

Good morning my lovelies, todays card features the gorgeous new clear stamps from Chocolate Baroque, Fancy Flourishes  and a little topper made from Tim Holz tissue wrap. I adore this stamp set, such beautiful intricate designs.

I made the background by blending Dusty Concorde and  Milled Lavender distress inks onto some white cardstock. I stamped the flourish using Imperial Purple Versafine ink, its so easy to position these clear stamps. I made the topped by wrapping a little piece of card with tissue wrap, and adding some colour with more distress inks. I coloured the butterflies with Graph'It Markers and added some tiny dots of stickles to the wings before edging the topper with a gold krylon pen. I've just added a little bow and a die cut butterfly to finish off. I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Time for a new challenge at Premium Craft Brands PanPastel Challenge

Good morning folks, how's your weekend going? I got loads of jobs done yesterday so I won't feel guilty having a lazy play day in my craft room today. I'm going through one of those phases where you start loads of stuff so i've got bits and bobs drying all over the house lol. As its Sunday its time for a new challenge at Premium Craft Brands PanPastel UK Challenge and this week we're using Autumn Colours on our projects. As always there is a fab PanPastel Starter set for our lucky winner from Berni our lovely sponsor at Your Creativity Store. Pop on over to the challenge blog and find out all the deets and of course check out my teamies fab projects too.

I've made a canvas for my DT project, its one of those projects that nearly ended up in the bin soooooo many times lol. I began by using Maimeri Light Modelling paste through a couple of different stencils, once that was dry I set too sticking all manner of bits and bobs on with Maimeri Matte Gel Medium - i've used die cuts, ribbon, bead string, some old earrings, some little square plastic tiles, gems etc etc.

 Next I added a liberal coat of Maimeri Matte Gel all over and while it was wet I used a duster brush to sprinkle on PanPastels. I used all Autumnal shades - Phthalo Green, Yellow Green Shade, Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber and then lots of Metallic PanPastels. I just loooooove the Metallic PanPastels!!!  Once it was dry I went over with my brush again, blending all the colours together to create a distressed metallic effect.

Lastly I added some black and then some Silver PanPastel to highlight all the texture, its so hard to get a decent pic as the Metallic Pans are so shimmery?

I added a sentiment to fnish off, I thought this quote was pretty appropriate lol, its from Chocolate Baroque and is one of my favourites.

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

All Crafts: anything but a card

Artistic Stamper: alter something

Haviing a crackling time

Evening all :-) I've been having a wee play in my craft room today after battling through loads of jobs in the house and garden and I couldn't resist trying the gorgeous crackle effect that Kay from Indigo Blu demo's on C&C last week and omg is its a fab technique! I love it :-)

I used a little black tag, swiped with flitter glu and then applied Kroma Crackle coloured with mica powders (copper and Pear green) and blasted it with a heat gun. Its a totally different crackle to when the Kroma crackle dries naturally but its really effective, kind of  like a rough bark effect. I didn't really want to cover it up lol but I decided to add an Indigo Blu sentiment and a couple of acetate butterflies, made with a freebie Indigo Blu stamp from Craft stamper. I stamped them with black stazon, cut out and then embossed the back with Palm Green and Copper Sparkle EPs from Sparkle and Sprinkle. To finish off I added a scrap of green seam binding and some pearls for the butterflies bodies.

I'm entering this tag in the following challenges:

Indigo Blu: things with wings

Divas by Design: autumn colours

Sparkle and Sprinkle: anything goes with EP/Glitter/ flocking

I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas

Good morning folks, how are you doing with those Christmas cards?? I've made quite a few now and all the gorgeous new stamps from Chocolate Baroque have been a real inspiration, I've used a very unChristmassy colour palette for this card using stamps from the beautiful Reindeer Landscape stamp set

I love pink and white for Christmas cards so I set to with an assortment of pink dye inkpads and a water mister and swooshed them around on my ink blending mat to create the background. Next I stamped the trees and the snowflakes with versamark and embossed with whit embossing powder. I added some colour to the trees with Sakura Glaze pens.

The sentiment is from Bold Christmas Words, again embossed with white embossing powder on pink cardstock and die cut with spellbinders dies. I added some little pearls to the snowflakes and a little white bow to the bauble sentiment. 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Card Mania: pastel colours

A Creative Romance: pink

Autumn has arrived in SplodgeAway Land

Good morning, we've got an Autumn theme at SplodgeAway this week and for my project I've used two masks, the frame from Do it with Daisies 1 and the Mini leaves mask (you can find them both here) The pics aren't too good, its been so dark and dull here for the last few days.  This first pic is a bit of a strange angle but it shows the colours of the background  better than the other pic

I  made a background with distress inks (Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and Wild honey) and rock salt, then I applied versamark to the Do It with Daisies 1 frame and popped it through my Grand Calibur. I embossed with copper embossing powder, adding a little green here and there. Next I used the Fallen Leaf mask and added some leaves to the background using more distress inks. I coloured the image (a Sheen Douglass stamp) with Graph'It markers and cut it out, popping it up on 3d foam pads for some dimension.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Craft your Passion: embossing

Feeling Crafty: autumn

Loves rubber stamps: fall leaves or pumpkins

One Crazy Stamper: thankful/autumn

Good morning folks, as you can see I had a blast creating my projects for my month as Guest Artist at Gecko Galz! I've used images from Altered Christmas for this card, I really enjoyed making it as I adore mail art so its was loads of fun to use so many different mail elements in this card.

I began by printing the image out on some of my treasured perforated postage paper, before I printed I masked the white lines with some fine masking tape. The image was layered up over some recycled brown paper and I decoupaged the little cuties on their sled and also the sentiment too. 

I found the perfect backing paper for this project, its from Christmas Post by CraftWork Cards, love it! The shaped  card is also from Craftwork cards. The paper has been edged with a gold krylon pen

I layered the image up over one of the post cards and some pompom trim and red seam binding ribbon. Next i added some of the cute little Christmas stamps from Altered Christmas and lastly a die cut flower and card candi also from Craftwork Cards.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Come and Get it: any faux technique (faux postage for me)

Next I made lots of die cut leaves, smothering them with PanPastels and adding versamark to add depth to the colours.

Playing with Thermomorph, you're going to LOVE this stuff!

Good afternoon folks, brrrrrrrr its terrible weather here today - blowing a gale and lashing down with rain .... perfect crafting weather lol! I was really excited when I received an email asking if I'd try an exciting new product called Thermomorph, it sounded fun so of course I said yes and within a few days a lovely big jar of thermomorph arrived. Here's a few bits and bobs I've made trying out different techniques etc. 

Firstly though, I'd better tell you what Thermomorph is and where you can get your hands on some lol. Thermomorph is a plastic compound that melts at low temperature, its available from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ThermoMorph-Polymorph-Shapelock-Plastimake-InstaMorph/dp/B00D3LAZ9O and you can find more details here on the Thermomorph website: http://www.thermomorph.net/. Its usually £19.95 for a 500g jar but I see its currently on offer with £2 off and free p&p. I've tried friendly plastic before and thought this would be very similar and it is BUT its a lot friendlier lol, it is very quick and easy to work with and I didn't burn my fingers once:-)

Now I'd planned on doing some step by step instructions but got carried away and only took a couple of pics so if you need any more info just email me and I'll try and help. I decided to use my Melt pot rather than just a bowl of hot water and it worked a treat, I set the temperature at 80 and it kept the thermomorph and a nice workable temperature. If you let it get too hot, a it'll burn your paws and b it goes a bit stringy so don't overheat it. 

As you can see you get loads of product for your pennies, I've hardly used any and I made a load of little projects. I popped some foil in my melt pot as I was worried it may stick but I didn't need to worry as it didn't stick to anything. Here's a pic of the white thermomorph pellets in the water

In a few minutes they'll go clear and clump together (kind of like frogspawn lol) and then they are ready to work with. I found that when I took it out of the melt pot it was a workable temperature but if you have a go take care not to burn yourself.

Here are some of the pieces I made trying out different techniques:

These are made just by popping the melted Thermomorph in silicone moulds, they set in minutes and once they are white you can remove them easily. As you can see from the large heart, it picked up all the fine detail really well.

These pink roses were made by colouring the white granules of Thermomorph with cranberry alcohol ink before I melted them, I just love the kind of marbled effect of the finished flowers

Next I rolled some melted Thermomorph out and popped it in an embossing folder, once it was cool I die cut it with Sizzix Bigz die and painted with antique linen distress paint.

This next one was made by creating texture with a rubber stamp and cutting with a cookie cutter. Once the Thermomorph was cool I coloured with alcohol inks and added a coat of glossy accents. I love this technique, and was really impressed with the detail that the Thermomorph picked up from the stamp

Next I decided to play with markers, I created some texture with an embossing folder while the Thermomorph was warm and shaped it a little to add some dimension. Once it was cool I added colour with Graph'It markers and then some treasure gold to pick up the detail.

Still experimenting I decided to press the Thermomorph through some lace and cut with a circular cutter. I added some colour with alcohol inks and added one of  my little roses too

Last but not least, two little birds made using Thermomorph in moulds and painting with Maimeri Brone acrylic paint, I adore this effect as they look gorgeous in real life, just like metal embellies!!

Well thanks for persevering, there are so many pics in this post but I really wanted to show you just a few of the different things you can do with Thermomorph.

Enjoy your day and thanks for popping by
