Sanntangle With Love

By
It's rare I craft with kits but when I saw the Papercraft Society's May box was designed by Sandra Rushton from Sanntangle I knew had to buy it.  This card features paper weaving, stamping, heat embossing, stencilling to map out the border, tangling, colouring pencils and a bit of parchment work too.  Made for my mum's birthday next month.

I started with some of the papers from the kit, cutting 1cm strips to weave into a square.  The random edges were cut with a torn edge die from my stash.  Stamped and gold heat embossed onto vellum the flourish, heart and 'love' sentiment.  Flourish coloured with colouring pencils.  Tangled a grid design with a purple fine liner pen into the open centres of the heart and letters.  On the reverse dry embossed with a small parchment ball tool to whiten each square to give a quilted effect.  Decided to mount these stamped images onto white card and fussy cut to make them pop more against the woven background and so I could use some 1mm foam pads too.  Hand wrote 'with' onto vellum with a white gelly roll pen and adhered with micro dots.


Used one of the stencils from the kit to design and then tangle the outside frame with brown and purple fine liner pens.  The frame ended up too dark in colour so cut a vellum square to place over the top to soften the look adding an inner frame of white embossed dots with a ball tool.  Woven panel added on top.


Here's a picture of the items I've used.
There is plenty more in this kit to keep me busy as I can combine the kit with my cardmaking stash or just focus on tangling.

I've used - 6x6" white card base

I Spy With My Little Eye ... Guest Designer

So lovely to be invited by Ellie from Simply Ellibelle's blog as guest designer for challenge 14 of " I spy with my little eye.... something with wings " selected by Pauline.  A fabulous theme with so many possibilities ... I chose to ink up this wonderful large scale owl with draft lines and geometric styling and created a spotlight die-cutting technique. Owl stamped and heat embossed with clear EP then die cut part of the image into a circle.  To make the background, two different distress inks (one green, one blue) were smooched onto the remaining panel.  I did some light stencilling in areas, blue ink for the hex matrix pattern, white ink for the circles with iridescent mica pigment powder so they catch the light.  Finally some over stamping in smoke blue ink (which looks more light grey) for the doodle patterns and additional words (spread your wings, soar, fly).  Die cut circle has another layer underneath so it's slightly raised and left uncoloured.  Die cut &a

Chatty Bar

The Chatty Bar stamp set designed by Zinski Art was perfect for a fun drink themed card I needed.  Look at their expressive faces!  Images combined with a geometric embossed background and witty sentiment. Background created by applying blue/green ink to a geometric stencil, spritzed with water, placed onto ochre coloured cardstock and embossed through my die-cutting machine to create the embossed pattern with ink transferred like a faux letterpress effect.  Added some pieces of black/gold geo-patterned papers for interest and to ground the images.  Stamped and clear heat embossed images coloured with a mix of watercolour paints, alcohol markers and coloured pencils before fussy cutting and adhering.  Sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a scrap of patterned paper cut into strips.

Let it Snow

Crafting has been a bit hit and miss for me of late as family life has just got in the way but at last a Christmas card made for two challenges, a late entry for  September's CAS Mix Up  and a new colour challenge that has caught my interest called  Color Hues . I masked off a panel on the front of my card base and blended a mix of blue inks to create an ombre effect from turquoise to navy with a few splatters of water to add interest and lift some of the ink.  I've not embossed with dies very much so had to hunt where I had written down the sandwich for my Big Shot!  I'd forgotten how little pressure was needed to get a lovely embossed impression.  I chose a few snowflake dies and positioned them partly on/off my inked panel to widen the overall design then stamped the gorgeous sentiment at the bottom (I do love this flowing font) and a few falling little snowflakes all in navy blue. Some finishing touches just to edge the inked panel with a navy glitter gel pen and some a
