Simon Says Stamp Challenge | Movie & Clean and Simple

Hello there, as the title suggests I've been creating a card this week for the challenges at Simon says stamp, which Monday's challenge is At the Movie's and Wednesday's is CAS. So I thought about my favourite film that's been my favourite since I was little, you might of already guess it...yes it was set in New York!! Well if you haven't already guessed it's Home Alone 2 Lost in New York. When this is on TV it makes me think of Christmas and get all warm and cosy. If you're not seen this movie yet, I'd highly recommend  you watch it.     

Made A2 US size card from black card, opened the silhouette software and created stitched rectangle then created a internal offset rectangle to create frame and added an element I purchase from silhouette store called New York Skyline by Studio Calico into the middle of the frame and once I released compound path, I welded them together then cut it out the silhouette.     

Next I rubbed a little cornflour over the panel to remove any static, using my DIY stamping tool I stamped "A Little Note" from Clearly Besotted Mini Messages with perfect medium and poured over WOW bright white embossing powder and heat set with heat tool. Cut a piece of Crelando sky blue card to fit slightly smaller than the panel itself and adhered to the card with double sided tape. Applied double sided foam tape to the back of the panel and adhere to the card, finished off with a few sequins and I adhere them using micro glue dots.  

I always fancied visiting New York since I was child, as I can imagine it's like walking onto a real working film set. Flying is not my thing at all as I have serious fear of flying! I went to Florida many years ago that flight was traumatic enough to have put me right off flying. Sorry if the photos don't look as good as they usually do, but I'm having a few problems with the lighting and my camera at moment even with using my Ikea lamp the photos are coming out with pink tint for some reason, so I will have to look into that for next time, I suppose all the sunshine we had does'nt help.

Halloween | Silhouette Cameo

Hello there, well I don't tend to make Halloween cards usually but decided it might be fun having a go at creating some spooky Halloween cards, I must of enjoyed making them as I finished up making three batch cards. These will be perfect for three little ones I know that for sure.

Created stitched panel within silhouette software, then created a smaller rectangle within the panel and then created offset so I could add the "Happy" sentiment using Megan Font that was purchased from silhouette store, I designed the cobweb by creating three offset circles and four long rectangle strips and welded them all together to create the cutting file.

Cut out the three panels, created three A2 US card blanks that I made myself from Lidl Crealando card. Applied double sided foam tape to the back of the panel and adhered to the card blank, in the end I created two orange and one purple design. 

Cut out strips of card for the "Halloween" sentiments and rubbed a little cornflour over the cardstock and stamped the Halloween from Clearly Besotted Mini Messages using versafine onyx black and my DIY stamp tool then poured over wow clear embossing powder and heat set with heat tool. Before cutting into the tag to create a fishtail and adhered the tag just above the happy with double sided foam tape. To finish added couple Tonic Nuvo drops and sequin which I adhered with Micro glue dots. 

Well I think they have turned out well and I am so glad that I gave halloween ago and hope you think the same. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Tonic Pick of the bunch | blending pencils with baby oil

Hello there, well many of you may follow me over at Facebook and might of heard that a few weeks ago I was having a few issues with my spectrum noir alcohol markers, well to cut a long story short I'm no longer using them anymore as I feel they don't seem to blend as good as other brands. Maybe in the near future I might invest in more better quality markers but for now, with budgets being how they are, I've took the decision to just use my colouring pencils and use the baby oil technique, to get smooth colour look.    

Created stitched panel using the silhouette cameo and cut out the panel using kraft card, then stamped the Tonic pick of bunch rose with memento tuxedo black ink and my homemade stamp tool onto the panel. Started colouring in the roses and leaves with WHSmith artist's colouring pencils, to create a smooth finish, I use a paper stump with some baby oil and blended the colours together. Next stamped "Thinking of you" with the same memento tuxedo black ink and the homemade stamp tool.   

Cut a piece of fun foam to fit the back of the panel and applied double sided tape and adhere this to the back of the card, then applied more double sided tape to the back of the foam and adhere the panel to A2 (US size) card blank.  Applied a couple drops of Anita's clear 3D gel to create clear droplets and added a few sequins in clear and gold and adhered these with micro glue dots. To finish the card I added a little clear wink of stella glitter pen to the rose and rose bud. 

Have you tried this technique? or are you going to give this a try in the future? If so please do let me know what you have created and what you have made. Enjoy the rest of your day.
