Two More Cards With Make Amazing Cards Magazine!

Hello!
I recently received my copy of Make Amazing Cards, which is in the shops now :-) Inside, I did a "10 ideas" feature, using some of the ice-cream papers and toppers which are supplied in the magazine. This magazine also comes with lots of other products including embossing folders, lots of papers & toppers and a whole set of stamps!

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to play with the stamps for my feature.... until now! 

I had a few hours free and had a couple of cards in my mind when I saw the stamp set and this was the end result...

 This cute pink card uses the heart hot air balloon stamp which I heat embossed in white onto watercolour paper before watercolouring with an aqua painter. I used the new Powder Pink ink for the balloon with Melon Mambo hearts and some new Soft Sky ribbon to finish it off.
All extra supplies used are linked at the end of the post :-)

 This fun card uses the Sundae stamp from the magazine, again heat embossed onto watercolour paper. I made a fun emboss resist background with the (also new) Lemon Lime Twist for the wash. You may be able to see I also added clear wink of stella to each tiny ice cream on the background for a subtle sparkle.

And here they both are together again to finish!

I hope you liked my watercoloured makes?

 This fun magazine is out now, packed with amazing papers and stamps as well as tons of ideas for using the included products :-) I'd love to see your makes with these products!

That's all from me for today, I'll be back soon with a new card! Thanks so much for looking!

Make Special Cards Magazine fun!

Hello there,

I have a little set of four really quick and easy cards to share with you today. I was recently sent a copy of this magazine. It's published by Immediate Media who I design for, usually for their Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine though. I was so excited to have a play with this kit :-) Included in the bag are all these goodies including 30 papers, 12 scallop edged cards with envies and 15 stamps plus more. But, the best part is there are over 50 designs for cards and tags so if you're stuck and don't know what to make it's all there for you to CASE! 

All ready to go and make a ton of cards, see...

 And here is what I made in about an hour! Card one...

Just add bakers twine ;-)

 Card two, with a wrap of ribbon. Very Cath Kidston this paper don't you think?

The third design is a CAS card

and finally and a garden-y one, I think my Mum would like this one ;-)

Well I hope you've enjoyed these cards and if you grab a copy of this mag please remember to share with me your makes!

Thanks for looking today

Stampin' Up's Berry Basket and Bow Punch Quick Make and Making Cards Magazine news

Hello!

I have a super quick post with a really quick and easy project to share with you today as I recently became the very happy owner of the NEW Stampin' Up! Berry Basket Die :-) This die is Big L die which means you can use it with standard cutting pads and cut through fabric, leather, multiple card layers etc, as with all the Sizzix Bigz dies. 

I have seen lots of these baskets around in ceramic or metal and used in backgrounds as props and for parties so imagine how thrilled I was to find this in the new Spring/Summer catalogue!

For this basket you need two die cut pieces but it's OK, you can layer the 2 pieces of card and cut them together - you will need one whole sheet of A4 to make this basket. 

To make this I die cut Sahara Sand card and used the All Bloom DSP stack for the bows..

 It's quite deep. We made this basket at class last week and at least one of my ladies has filled hers already - with pegs! After discussing the merits of pegs when glueing boxes and bows together ;-)

I'm going to spend the day tomorrow making a few videos to show you some of the things I want to share with you including how I assembled this basket.

 Bow Punch. Again . I hope you're not bored of it yet, I've got loads more to show you with these bows ;-)

 and lastly for this evening I wanted to share this months Making Cards magazine front with you. I'm on the front cover this month (star quality, top centre) and as a bonus this month, and the next two too, there are 32 FREE papers included. That's double the usual amount!!

OK, I'm off to get ready for work.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I'll be back tomorrow with more :-)
