It's those penguins again........ - Tubby Craft DT Tutorial

Happy Monday!

I'm sharing a couple of the new release Tubby Craft stencils in different ways.  As it's cold and nearing Christmas I thought I'd use those adorable penguins once again.

For my first card I had a brainwave to use the brick stencil to make ice bricks for my igloo!  Isn't it cute?  In order to make my igloo I die cut an igloo shape and used the Tubby Craft inks through it with a foam pad.

This is the result I got and I also die cut a smaller nested shape and inked it in the darker blue.

After colouring in my penguin and fussy cutting him I added to my card which I had backed with some glitter card to resemble snow.

For my next card I decided to do a fun shaker using artificial snow flakes.  To begin, I inked the stencil with blue to create a cloud background.

I then added the snow directly on to the background.

Finally I die cut a frame and added acetate to it and double sided foam tape them placed it over the snow and the background to create my shaker.

I added a sentiment and one of the coloured and fussy cut penguins to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that you'll have a go at making some fun winter cards.

See you again soon!

O Christmas Tree - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Just a quick post from me today (I can hear you all sighing with relief !!!!) to share the Daring Cardmakers latest challege.  It's a Christmas Tree themed one and you don't have to make a card either.

I had this idea in my head about trying to make a Christmas tree shape card yet I didn't want it to be entirely triangular so I made this!  In keeping with the theme I have added 3 wooden Christmas trees and embellished them with gems.

It's definitely a favourite of mine this season and it went down well at the Trimcraft demos too.

If you'd like to join in, here is a little more info and you can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon!

December Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy December!

It's been a very productive week even though I've had a man down during the latter part of the week.  My little one has actually been very good whilst at home so I know he must be ill - bless him! 

As it's the first Friday of the month the Daring Cardmakers have an elemental challenge and I  am showcasing a Christmas commission that I based on the elements from the challenge.

It's only when I began making my Christmas cards this year that I realised I had so few Christmas dies.  So I treated myself to a few over the lead up to Black Friday.  I really enjoyed mixing them up with printed images and papers.

I've never owned a poinsettia die and I really liked how I got a couple of sizes in the set I bought.  Also, the detail on the leaves really stand out even after cutting out of glitter card.  Can you tell I'm pleased with my purchases?!

This is the mood board from which you have to choose at least 3 elements.  I chose the deer, foliage, snowflakes and colours.  You can see what my fellow DT members have made HERE and I do hope you'll join in.

It's my birthday weekend and I don't know what's in store, but I know I will enjoy spending it with loved ones.

Have a great weekend,
