Guest Blog post over at Chocolate Baroque!!

A while back I answered a Design Team call for Chocolate Baroque. Although I did not get it, I was asked to create something using their stamps for a guest post. I was so excited!

At the time, though I had been a constant admirer of their lovely designs, I had yet to make any purchases. So I felt that this was a definite good time to finally add some Chocolate Baroque to my growing stamp collection, and I was not disappointed! Here are a few pictures of my final product, but I hope you will head over to their blog here to see my post which has come out today!

 

Thanks for checking it out and don't forget to head over to their page with the link below to have a look and some of their amazing goodies!

Xbox controller card

So today my eldest daughter has been invited to a birthday party. Now, I have a stack of cards piled up in a box from when my crafty mojo gets going but unfortunately, I rarely have inspiration to make a mans card or a little boys for that matter. Luckily this time around I had called his mum and asked her what he liked so I could buy an appropriate present for him. In the end money is tight this month so we have had to cut back in certain areas of our spending so I felt I really needed to go all out on this little mans card, and seeing as he liked Xbox so much, why not a controller?

I know you have probably seen these types of cards all over the place but I really wanted to give it a little more than just 'cut out circles. stick down. done.'. So for this card I used the following:

• Dylusions sprays from Ranger
• Lemon zest
• London Blue
• Postbox Red
• Fresh Lime
• Distress Inks and markers
  
  • Black Soot
  • Pumice stone
  • Crushed Olive
  • Mustard Seed
• Water brush
• White gel pen -my favourite is Uniball signo Broad white gel pen
• Black cardstock for the base
• white cardstock for the buttons
• Glossy accents
• white embossing powder - stampendous white
• Heat gun
• foam adhesive

First off, I did a search for an Xbox controller template and found the perfect one from here. On the plus side, if you have a cutting machine, it also has a cut file as well as a digi stamp! Lucky us huh? I wanted a card around a 5x7 size so I printed my controller on regular copy paper to use for my template. I do have a cutting machine but sadly its been a while since I properly tidied my craft area and they need to be dug out before I can use them. So I did it the old fashioned way and traced and cut around all of the pieces, however if you have a cutting machine, feel free to use it here!
I folded my black card in half (a scoreboard comes in handy here if you have one) laid my template against the score line with the card folded in half and marked the bottom of the controller. I used my ruler to draw a straight line across so that when I lined up my template, it would be even and sit properly on a table. I stuck it down temporarily and cut around it to finish off the base of my card.

Instead of cutting out all the circles and tracing them onto my white cardstock I printed the whole thing out again and just cut them directly from the card.

Once I had all of my pieces ready, I pulled up a picture of an Xbox controller on Google and went to work copying the buttons. I knew I wanted my colours to be bright because if you have ever seen one of these controllers, the buttons glow. I really wanted to retain that quality when I coloured them so I started by spraying each of the letter buttons with my dylusions sprays. I let these soak in a little before hitting them with the heat gun to speed up drying time. To draw the letters I used my white gel pen which I knew would mix with the ink and lighten it up in areas. To darken other areas I used mustard seed for yellow, and crushed olive for green. The red and blue were dark enough so I just 'pulled' the colour out of them in areas with water. To do this you just paint plain water on where you want it and dab it off with a towel. I used this technique on the logo button as well.

For the grey buttons I did the same basic concept, except that I used a blending tool with pumice stone, white gel pen for the highlights and pumice stone marker and a dry water brush (this gives a more concentrated colour) for the shading. I also used the blending tool and black soot for the small black buttons but concentrated the colour on one side to give it a highlight. I stuck all of these buttons down with either foam adhesive or glossy accents.

So far it was looking great but still a bit flat for my taste. To give the controller itself a little bit more dimension, I used my white gel pen around the joysticks as highlights and added glossy accents to some of the buttons. Beware though. I made the mistake of going over my coloured buttons with the glossy accents and unfortunately for me, it blended all of my shading and colours so they no longer had the detail that I wanted for them. Oh well. Live and Learn!

Once my glues were dry enough to handle, I began work on the inside of the card. We decided instead of buying a present, to just give him a little cash. You know how it is, though, when kids are riping through cards and money is flying and sometimes gets lost? No? Is that just me? Anyway, I thought it would be nice for the card to have a little pocket specifically for holding a folded up bill. I used leftover black card to make the pocket which I glued the edges with glossy accents. I kept this in place with wooden clothes pins until it was set. I then stamped a happy birthday sentiment and embossed it with white embossing powder.


So here is the finished card. Not my usual thing but I really liked it. Besides all of the intricate shading work I did, it was a fairly quick and easy card to make. I may just have to do a few of these just to have on hand!

I hope my little girl has a great time at this party and that the birthday boy loves the card! I know he wont appreciate the work that has gone into it but that's not really what its about is it? I had fun making it and I hope you will all give it a go!

 

Happy Crafting!!

Better late than never Film Elements Box card

Do you ever find that life gets in the way of... well, life? That's how things have been feeling like for the moment for me. Except my mental library is one big jumbled mess and I just cant get all of my books in the right section. I wrote this blog post for last weeks design team post for JB Crafting Supplies but failed to share it with anyone who follows me. I am quite proud of my work this time and I had fun with it so its only fair that I share it with you.

If you have been following the blog (or me in general) you might remember that last month I received a lovely stamp by Stampendous called Film Elements which I had a rather difficult time working with. Again, I say this was because I am much better at taking multiple stamps and putting them together rather than have a stamp that is already a collage. So what did I do? I cut them apart!

While they were very small stamps images individually, the lines were not too fussy and it was easy enough to do. These pop up box cards have been making the rounds lately and I thought now would be a great time to try one! I wont add instructions on how to make one here because I winged it but if you do a google search for 'Pop up box card' you will find many tutorials.

I used black card stock for my base, and white card stock for the panels. I used my dylusions to spray the top panels randomly, and then stamped and heat embossed with white a harlequin stamp from the Decorative Edges stamp set from Chocolate Baroque. I stamped the same pattern on the bottom white panels in black and white to tie them together. When making these boxes you want to separate and pop out your elements so instead of just using a plain piece of acetate, I stamped and embossed with my Hero arts flourish stamp which I then cut out and glued into place. This gave me a space to place certain elements in the background while still looking like it all belonged together. From there I just stuck all the rest of my elements down fairly similar to the way they originally came on the stamp. A few of the pieces I stuck to acetate and a few I stuck straight into the card. As you can see on the left, the card just folds flat, ready for an envelope. When flat I do feel that it is missing something such as a sentiment but I have yet to figure out what I will place there. Suggestions always welcome!!

Im very happy with the final result and I hope you agree. I do think I will be making a few more of these fun box cards in the future!

 

Happy crafting to you all!

Back from holiday and crafting already!!

Hello all of you lovely crafters!

I am very sorry that I have been slacking in my team duties as far as crafting goes but I swear, I have a good excuse! You see, I have been away on a long 3 week holiday to visit my family. It was a great trip and I am really missing it right now after being back for almost a week now but the feeling was lessened when I came home to find my dt stamp for this month from Julie at JB Crafting Supplies amongst all the bills and junk mail. You can guess which out of the stack I opened first!

The stamp I received was this fun little collage stamp by Stampendous called Film Elements. Truthfully, I had a bit of a struggle with this one, but then again I always struggle a little bit with collage stamps as I am one who likes to create a collage from scratch. I like having individual elements to a stamp from which I can pick and choose and decide the order in which I would like them placed on the card in front of me. Regardless, I had fun colouring this in and I hope you enjoy what I have done with it in the end.

Stamp arranging and are we there yet challenge

 

Do you ever get really excited about a stamp set, some inks or even some new tools and rush out to buy them? Or you find an awesome deal on something and you grab it without really thinking of what you will do with it? While I only do it rarely, I have a whole list of friends who I could probably name that do this on a regular basis.

So I was having a rummage around all of my crafty stash recently, trying to minimise the mountain of unused goodies I have just waiting to make their appearance and I came across this stamp set by Tim Holtz (surprised?). It fit perfectly with this months challenge over at 'A Little Bit Crafty' so what better time to pull it out?? I love red rubber cling stamps, especially the ones that have the image on the back. I took advantage of those images with this card by choosing a few that seemed to fit and arranging them. It gave me a visual to go from when I finally started actually making it. I struggled with the colour choice a bit after I had finally arranged it the way I liked, mainly because I really liked how it looked in the black and grey of the stamps. In the end I took to google. Google and Pinterest are the best places to go for some colour inspiration! There was just so much that of course I couldn't help myself and went with the more colourful choice.




So lets get started:

Supplies Used:

1. Tim Holtz Stamp set - The Journey
2. Tim holtz Stamp set - Papillon
3. TH Distress ink pads-
• Picked Raspberry
• Spiced Marmalade
• Salty Ocean
• Peacock Feathers
• Barn Door
• Squeezed Lemonade
4. Ranger Archival Ink - Jet Black
5. TH Remnant Rubs - Numbers
6. Fine silver embossing powder
7. clear embossing powder
8. Waterbrush
9. Craft mat
10. heat tool
11. TH Distress crackle paint - Rock candy
12. Perfect Pearls perfect gold and water in a spritzer bottle.

First I took my distress inks and pressed them onto my craft mat. I spritzed it with my gold shimmer water to blend the colours and applied my paper to it. I spritzed the paper again just to make sure it all blended nicely and dried it with the heat tool. Then I applied the corresponding inks to my background stamp in a gradient and stamped onto my now dried paper.

I put the background paper aside and I stamped my plane and embossed with silver embossing powder and stamped the compass with black archival ink because I wasn't sure what waterwork I would be doing just yet. I fussy cut them all out leaving a tiny bit of white to frame it and added a little bit of weathered wood to the plane with my waterbrush just to pop it out from the white. I arranged these on the background just to have a look at the placement and realised my compass needed a bit more. I didn't want to overload it with colour so I used the same colours from the background and did a little painting in some areas just to tie it all in.


 I cut out a few of the remnant rubs and applied them to the background and stuck down my compass. I still wasn't satisfied with it and felt it still needed something so I added some distress crackle in a circular motion, hoping it will crack radiating a bit from the centre.

It didn't quite work out the way I was hoping as I applied it quite thinly but I still like the effect. It looks more like glitter from a distance though so next time I will be more generous with my paint.

Once the paint had dried on my compass I adhered the plane overlapping it slightly with dimensional adhesive.

 

 

I wanted my sentiment to be embossed with a lot of colours but because my colour selection in my embossing powders is minimal, I ended up stamping with several colours and then embossing over it with clear embossing powder. If I had done it again I might have tried double stamping over it with versamark to give a better coating but it still was fine. I put a black mat on it and stuck it down with some dimensional adhesive.

 

 

 

I matted the whole thing on black card and then mat that onto my card and voila! 

 

I do hope you like it and that, again, you were able to follow my babble. This card particularly applies to me because as this post makes its appearance, I will hopefully be enjoying myself on a beach in Mexico with my family!

Hello Sailor! Im on a new Design team!!

Some good news on my part.... I was asked to join JB Crafting supplies as a new Design team member! Im very excited to be a part of another great group and I hope you as a follower will get some benefit from hearing me babble on about all the crafty goodness that is to come! I hope those of you who follow me will head on over to check out both the BLOG and SHOP and have a little looksy below of my very first project with them! I hope you like it! Feedback is always appreciated remember ;).

**Since a lot of you don't know me yet I will let you in on a secret...... I am a complete newbie when it comes to digis. Its not my favourite because I like the feel of an actual stamp. However, as a digital designer myself, I regret not being into it more because every once in a while you come across a really amazing little character like this beauty from Adele Bradwell. I am a fan of pin up art and the sailor theme was just too perfect. Of course you cant stray much from the red white and blue of a typical sailors outfit so I stuck with that. It helped that the paper matched ;).

So I printed out my background onto some white cardstock and overlaid the sentiment on top of the sailor girl with my photo editing software before printing 2 of her as well. Always print more than one, just in case! For me its a good thing I did as I prefer to work with watercolours and it takes some skill to use watercolour on non-watercolour paper without it warping too much. So obviously I practiced on one and in the end used a mixture of water painting and straight colouring with my distress markers.

I wanted to give the anchor a little more than just colour. I really wanted it to pop out and give it some texture. So after I had finished all of my colouring I used an embossing pen in sections and embossed my anchor with Stampendous fran-tage AGED SILVER embossing enamel. Unfortunately at this point my heat tool overheated on my and with my impatience I filled in the unembossed sections with brushed pewter distress stain. This worked out fairly well because it allowed the lines of the anchor to show through even after painted.

For the background of the card I distressed the edges with chipped sapphire distress ink and stamped a large medallion stamp and embossed with white to simulate a doily. We all love a little bit of frills don't we? This is where I adhered my pin up girl. I felt it needed just a little bit more so I stapled on a white satin ribbon and added a few little hearts that I handcut and glittered with xmas red stickles. Honestly I thought the hearts would make it feel very valentinesy... not really a word but work with me here!





So there you have it. My first DT project with JB Crafting Supplies and one of the few I have done with digital images! I do hope you like it.

Looking back (pizza bites!)

There are all forms of being crafty. Of course, my blog is mostly about being inky and gluey and papery, but every once in a while I get the chance to try a recipe which I think you can call crafty as well! So while the post below is an old one and from my other blog (yes I have another, no I don't really use it anymore), I really enjoyed these little pizza bites and they were so easy to make, I thought I would share with you fellow crafty people.

As an added note before you start reading, this was good for me because 2 of 3 of my kids are allergic or intolerant to dairy. So making these ourselves is a good way to be sure that you can use dairy substitutes and they can still have their pizza fix. We use lacto free cheese grated up and even my eldest who has no problem likes it.



**My son is squeeling away at 'Jake and the Neverland Pirates' at the moment and I just love hearing it. He has discovered that those things called 'hands' have the ability to grab everything within reach and stick it in his mouth. My eldest daughter is watching the same show and eating a lunch that she and I prepared together. A very poor version of pizza (in my mind) but she created it and therefore its delicious. Basically, toast topped with pizza sauce, pepperoni and orange cheese squares. Dont rush to write down the recipe. Speaking of recipes, however, I recently found this recipe on pinterest:

 

And I decided to give it a go. Let me tell you, its one of the good ones! I made it for my brother in law who loved them and requested them any chance he got. These are mine:



 

 

If you decide to give this a try, I would definitely leave out the salt. It says optional on the recipe but I put some in the first batch and it definitely doesnt need it. The pepperoni and cheese give it enough. You could probably try different flavours in it too though I havent tried that yet.***

 

I do hope you give this a try, especially if you have little ones. I haven't actually made it for quite a while and I think I might just make a few soon! They may be a good little snack to bring on the plane for our upcoming trip!

 

Leave me a comment if you have tried these or are planning to, and you are also welcome to ask any questions! If you want to follow my foody board on PINTEREST to see what other things catch my eye the click the link!

Man Up! Challenge and some gloating!

Hello All!

We are just entering February and I have only had a very small amount of crafting time this year so far. My family and I are heading on a 3 week holiday in a few weeks to visit my family in the wonderful Cancun, Mexico where my dad is manager at a lovely 'get away from it all' type of resort. Unfortunately this also means that you wont be hearing from me until I get back but FORTUNATELY, it also means you wont be hearing from me until I get back!! Ha ha. It means a lot of family time for me. Basically we are going to visit a lot of family and friends so that my kids and husband can meet them all for the first time. We are all very excited about it. Check it if you want to have a look!

Mahekal Beach Resort

Right, back to the crafty goodness. If you are a serious crafter/buyer/hoarder then you probably know that there are some major awesome sales at the beginning of the year. I did not plan very well for this but believe me, I will be much more prepared next year! Sizzix had their mega sale going on and wowwie!! The savings were spectacular! It did take a while to receive my items but its expected when you have such good deals. I received a big box of goodies (not all mine) but I couldn't wait to get started.

I had 2 birthdays to celebrate last month which both happened to be for men in my family. I am only showing this card because I love it, but I basically copied a gorgeous card from Pinterest as I was in a rush. You can check out that card here. The colours were perfect and caught my eye instantly. While I didn't have a clock quite like the one in the picture, I did have this wooden clock piece which I coated with metallic distress stains and stampendous frantage embossing powder. I also covered the back with vellum just so it wouldn't get lost with all the texture in the background. I would probably have done a lot more if I had had the time but I was up quite late trying to finish it in time.



 

 



On to the main event.... The love of my life (and I say that without a hint of sarcasm ;) ) has a birthday coming up. Unfortunately for him its right before everyone gets paid on one of the longest, moneyless months ever. We are rarely able to do anything and this year he had a need for his birthday gift several weeks before so now he has nothing to open. I attempted to get a sitter for our three kids but unfortunately I was only able to get someone for one, so the kid free plan was out. So even though we had agreed to celebrate our birthdays when we were in Mexico, I still wanted to make him a card. With the Man Up! Challenge over at A little Bit Crafty, it was perfect timing!

Men's cards are hard. You know why? Its not because its easier to create girly things. No. Its because men are difficult. My husband in particular doesn't actually appreciate receiving a card on his birthday so its mostly an excuse for me to craft. Taking advantage of my Sizzix goodies I created this card:

The sentiment fits him perfectly, as he can be.... well, lets just say he fits in well with the kids! Not that I'm complaining. I love him this way!

 

Supplies used:

Tim Holtz Distress inks in Antique Linen and Vintage Photo

Tim Holtz Vintage Camera Die

Tim Holtz  Styled Labels Die

Tim Holtz Alterations Stripes embossing folder

Tim Holtz Film strip ribbon

Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Card stock

Fiskars Quotes Clear stamp set - Make a Wish

Various Brads

Silver wire tape

We R Memory Keepers crop-o-dile

Big Shot

Tim Holtz sanding block

 

 

First, I used antique linen distress ink on white card stock. I ran it through my Big shot machine with the stripes embossing folder and then distressed again with Vintage Photo. Cut down to size and mounted on a 5x7 inch card base.

 

 I then used my crop-o-dile hole punch to punch holes and attach some gold brads to the corners.

 

I cut out my label, and 2 cameras out of white card stock, black Kraft-core card and black card covered with metallic tape. I cut a rectangle of plain computer paper and covered it generously with adhesive which I then used to attach all the pieces to the camera.

 

I distressed my label with Vintage photo distress ink, stamped my Fiskars sentiment and drew an outline in black pen to tie it all together. I attached 2 bronze brads to the label and adhered it to the card with foam adhesive.

 

I then stapled my film strip to the card and attached the camera with foam adhesive.

 

*Not in the picture* - I stamped 'Happy Birthday' from the same fiskars set in the bottom right hand corner of the inside of the card and wrote a little note from me and the kids.

 

 

I do hope you like it, and be sure to check out the challenge over at 'A Little Bit Crafty'. There are some amazing prizes up for grabs that I wouldn't mind getting my hands on myself! Also don't forget to check out the sponsors!

Breaking out the alcohol... Inks that is!

 When you were growing up did you have a favourite teacher? Someone who really got under your skin so to speak. In a good way. I did. A few in fact. Some were my favourite because of the way they made me feel in the classroom and some because they gave me that 'AHA!' moment. The moment you finally get something that you have been trying to understand for a while. Well, I will remember these teachers for the rest of my life and I think that knowing that you made that kind of impact on a kid is what they all strive for.

 

I believe my daughter has one of those teachers now. A teacher who makes the kids enjoy learning and going to school. So I wanted to show my appreciation by giving her a Christmas gift. Unfortunately with my lack of timing skills, I didn't get around to it until near the new year but this is what I came up with.

 

I found these apple bowls in a charity shop and they also happened to be half price. Great deal for me and I thought they would be great to 'dress up' for a teachers gift. So I brought them home and broke out the few alcohol ink colours I had (luckily they happened to fit well with the apple!) and started 'painting'.

 Supplies used:

Alcohol inks-

•  Currant
•  Red Pepper
•  Gold mixative
•  Espresso
•  Lettuce
•  Meadow

Tim Holtz Blending tool and felt

Olive satin ribbon -wide

Cellophane plastic

 

 

I first cleaned the bowls really well. You don't want any sort of residue left on them especially sticky residue from price stickers. Then I turned them over and just started dripping colours down the sides. I tried starting with the reds first and then moving on to the gold but I also did the other way around where I started with the gold first. I think I prefer starting with the reds.

 

I dripped a few streaks of Red Pepper and Currant down the sides to give it a bit of depth. I also dabbed on some green in a few placed though it didn't show up very much. I used the blending tool with the reds to make sure I got into all the spaces and that the whole apple was covered. Then I added some gold and green and just kept adding and blending until I got the look I wanted. I left the gold fairly streaky. Make sure you mix the gold well, otherwise it wont run down the sides the way we want it to and will get a bit clogged.

 

I made one stem all gold and another I used a blend of espresso and lettuce.

 

 

 

Here you can see the before and after side by side. Such a difference!!

 

 

Two more apples done for a friend. The one on the right is where I used the gold for the stem.

 

All wrapped and ready to go! I added in a little 'adult' chocolate in the form of baileys chocolate truffles. I figured everyone could use a break from all the kiddie candy!

 

 

 

I also made her this, which was supposed to be a pendant but of course I had no luck finding any bails to make it one. In the end I stuck a magnet on the back of it.

 

I embossed a bit of tin from a red bull can and then coloured with alcohol inks. I coated it with UTEE in the melt pot which unfortunately smeared a lot of the inks but its ok. This was a first time thing for me so I was bound to run into some issues. I used Tim Holtz chit chat stickers and a teddy bear charm which I then covered again with the UTEE and finished. This isn't the best picture of it as I hadn't sanded anything down yet but you get the idea. Funny enough she liked this one best.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope this inspired you to get creative for the teachers in your life as well. We would be nowhere without them after all.

 

Sam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New year, New projects!

First of all, (and I know I repeat the same thing on numerous occasions) sorry again for it being so long without any activities on here. The blog was going strong and then sort of tapered off somewhere along the way. Most likely due to the many commitments that myself and my group have already had. However I will try to be better. I wont make it a new years resolution though! We all know how those never work out. On that note, I will also NOT have losing weight, spending more time with family and follow through with commitments in a more timely manner as my new years resolutions either! ;)

 

So some news on my end. I was approached by a lovely friend of mine, who is an amazing crafter herself, to join her very successful challenge blog, 'A Little Bit Crafty' ! Thank you Paula for your confidence in me. I hope that I live up to expectations.

 

My first challenge theme as DT is Celebrate! Should be easy right? There is so much to celebrate this time of the year. New beginnings, new starts, and for some of us, just making it to the new year is a celebration in itself isn't it?? This time though I decided to go for a birthday card for my husbands cousin. It was her 40th birthday and we were invited to her big bash of a party. I have only met her once before so trying to find a theme to go with for her card wasn't easy. 

 

 

 

As a lot of you who know me know, I am not a digi user. I think its mostly due to the fact I love the feel and control of a proper stamp and being able to play around with inks and positioning. So with this challenge I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone. However I love the feel of this image from our sponsor 'Scribble and Scrap'. I immediately felt the 20's vibe to it and I thought that very appropriate for a 40th birthday. Don't ask me why, my mind works in mysterious ways!



  

First of all, I printed her off on regular, thick, white card stock. I like to work with my distress pens mostly but unfortunately my printer wouldn't take the water colour paper so I had to make due.

 

I used a mixture of promarkers, distress stains in tarnished brass and brushed pewter and a bit of distress pens here and there. I wanted the card to be mostly white black and silver with a hint of gold and a pop of colour with the red.

 

As you can see below, my colouring needs refinement but I'm hoping I can start working on a collection of copics and prismacolours in the new year and practise a little more. I covered the dress with glossy accents and dry rock candy glitter. I wish glitter was easier to capture but it definitely made the final product. I also added stickles in various places as well.

I think my favourite was using distress stickles in antique linen in her hair. It unfortunately covered any shading I might have done there but it gave it a little extra texture that I love. I coloured in the mirror with tumbled glass distress pen and water with perfect pearls to give it a bit of subtle shimmer. Its not my favourite as the paper I used wasn't ideal so the ink didn't blend out as much as I would have liked but in person it looks much better.

 

I did a bit of fussy cutting of the image and stuck her down onto a stamped and distressed background (stampin ups en francais large stamp with pumice stone distress ink) and mounted that onto back card stock. I finished it off with a few silver peel offs to make the whole thing a bit more.. art deco I think you would call it.

 

 

Anyway please check out the blog and our sponsors for this challenge below. I hope you enjoy the card and that it gives you a little push to try something out of your comfort zone!

 

 

Happy New Year!

 

Sam
