Happy Father's Day

 Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made a card for my dad. 

The image is from Lili Of The Valley and the digi stamp is called "put your feet up", you can find it here just copy and paste the following into your search engine:

I started by cutting lots of mats and layers using my Scan n Cut and the offset tool function. 

I then coloured the digital stamp using my promarkers, which I then scanned it into my computer and printed multiple copies so i could create decoupage layers. 

The papers I used are from a very old cd rom in my collection from Kanban called male backgrounds. 

I created the father's day sentiment using my craft artist software, and then with left over papers i cut the word dad using the buit in word on my Scan n Cut.

Happy Father's Day.

Handmade Water Shaker Card

 Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made a card for my nieces 5th Birthday using the Polkadoodles Mermazing and Starfish and Sandcastle digital kits.

This card is the most tricky card I ever done and to be honest I dont think I would make another in a hurry!!

Because my niece really loves mermaids I though the water shaker card would work very well. 

I started by creating the base card in my Silhouette studio software, once that was done I had the bright idea of cutting the number 5 out of an A4 laminating pouch. 

When this was cut, I got my food vacuum sealer machine ( a kitchen toy that only got used a couple of times)........I then went on to press the edges to seal the number, this worked great on the straight edges but didn't work great on the tricky curves. 

Then I come up with the idea to buy a handheld food sealer to finish the laminated number off. 

Once most of the number was sealed I then mixed up some cheap blue hair gel, glycerin and glitter I then inserted the mixture using a medicine syringe into the number.    

At first it looked like the handheld food sealer worked well but then just as I started to mount the number on the card.....dissaster happened and the number began to leak.......

I quickly got some glue and glued as much as I could this stopped the leak, but for how long I dont know.

Unfortunaly this will be look with your eyes and dont touch card, which is a shame as the reason I wanted to do this technique was so it could be touched and played with. 

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Happy Jubilee

 Hi Everyone,

I could not let the Jubilee go by without making a card and I knew exactly what images I was going to use!

I started by finding the perfect images from my Docrafts Best of British Forever Friends cd rom. 

Taking the images into my Silhouette design software I got to work making the base card. 

I then printed the image multiple times so I could create decoupage layers. 

The card was then finished off with 3d gloss 

Happy Jubilee weekend.
