The Glittered Poppleberry

  Hello Papercrafters,   How are we already half way into another week, this year is disappearing before I have chance to blink! I have been working on this cute little card, using products from my recent haul. If you would like to watch my crafty hauls, head over to my youtube channel.  This card is giving me retro 70's vibes, anyone else think so?   Products I used:  Simon Says Stamp Hello Die Concord & 9th Mod Turnabout Stamp Distress Oxide inks - Spiced Marmalade, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and Faded Jeans Sentimentally Yours Charming Squares Die Set Zig Wink Of Stella Brush Pen       Method: The first step in making this card, was using the turnabout stamp, these are great fun and easy to use. I used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform when using this stamp. First I stamped with Spice Marmalade, then wiped the stamp, rotated it 90 degrees and reinked with antique linen. After stamping that, I repeated the process with the other colours. ...

  Good Morning! Well I don't know how its Wednesday already, but here we are! Nip over to The Stamping Ground if you enjoy snooping at other desks, just like me. So this week my desk looks like a disaster, not sure where to start with it to be honest. So front and centre is my A5 Filofax planner. To the left is a stack of stickers and stationery goodies. On Sunday was an online event a friend and I organised for the planner community. It went really well and I am thrilled to bits everyone who took part enjoyed it. Head over to The South West Planner Club on social media if you are interested in next years event at all. Today is filled with appointments as usual, after I plan to get some cards made for family birthdays. I am also taking part in an Advent calendar swap where I make 25 envelopes of crafty goodies, everyone taking part does this and at the end we all receive a full advent , each day an envelope from those involved. I do hope that makes sense.  you may have notice...

 Good Morning friends! I just wanted to do a quick post between the Halloween crafting, to show you my crafty haul. These goodies I purchased from Craftstash and cannot wait to play with them. Craftstash.co.uk If you have not ordered from Craftstash before, I would highly recommend them.  So this is what I ordered:  Acrylic pouring Fluid, this is added to acrylic paint to change the consistency and make up of the paint.  Dina Wakley Cell Creator, this is added in small amount to the paint before or after pouring. It them makes the paint react, leaving small areas with a visible cell appearance. Dylusions Acrylic paint, I bought these paints in the colours: Periwinkle blue, Mango punch and Tropical sangria. These are such beautiful vibrant paints. Dina Wakley mixed media tags, in this pack there is 5 of two sizes. There are YouTube videos on Dina's channel of her using these tags. Definitely worth a watch! John next door, craft magazine and products set. This box is i...

  Good Morning crafty friends!! So today we aren't making a completed card, I wanted to share a couple of backgrounds I made with you all. So to start I created both these backgrounds in the same way, just with different colours. These backgrounds are on Clarity Stamp A6 coated card, I made these using a mixed media plate by Nellie's Craft.  I placed the A5 piece of card on a piece of scrap card stock to minimise mess as much as possible. Next I grabbed my Gansai Tambi watercolours - 36 colour set. These are beautiful watercolours and if you are in the market for some then I would certainly recommend them. To start I applied some orange watercolour to the mix media plate , nothing neat or tidy, just sploshes of it here and there. I then carefully flipped the plate over and pressed it onto the card. I used my fingers to press the plate against the card and move the colour around. I repeated this step a second time then did this again with some purple watercolour. Its important ...
