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

Autumn Days

By

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, looking forward to the rich colours of the changing leaves, squirrels busy collecting fallen acorns, fungi raising their heads above ground and seeing sunflowers still in bloom.  This card was made for a September birthday. I made my own background panel (pictured below) with two distress oxide inks smooshed on it before dry embossing with a layered leaves stencil. Stencilled on top of the raised embossing with various dye inks then used the second layering stencil to just ink the tops of the acorns.  Panel matted on burgundy cardstock.  Wanted to use a recent sale purchase of an Apple Blossom die set which creates a circular shaped puzzle centrepiece and chose a sunflower patterned paper from a recent magazine along with the same burgundy cardstock for the frame.  Once paper pieced back together this was mounted on the background panel. The fungi and butterfly are printed transparency images which were gifted to me, these I've ...

Woodware Birthday Grid meets Distress Oxides

By

My first post for 2019 and I'm sharing a card made with some new purchases ... I've finally bought some Distress Oxides so had a play and created an inky background.  Using three colours (spiced marmalade, cracked pistachio & squeezed lemonade) I decided to do a combination of inking on and through a stencil mask with a bit of water spritzing as well.  I quite like that the colours stay on top of each other without affecting the colours underneath and it's definitely a lovely chalky finish. Another new purchase was the Woodware birthday grid stamp by Jane Gill, I do like the grid arrangement of all the sentiments leaving two spaces so you can add other images to suit.  I've added social media type die cuts as this is a card for a male who's always on his mobile phone 😊.  Final touch was randomly stamping a filmstrip down one side and adding #smile in the corner. I've used -  5x7 white card base Distress Oxide Inks on  Clarity Stencil Card Th...

100 Birthday Wishes

By

Made for the uncle of a crafting friend celebrating his 100th birthday who still enjoys a bit of gardening.  Card Making Magic's Spring Garden stamp set that came with issue 119 of Creative Stamping seemed ideal to use and I also wanted to have lots of colour so what better than a rainbow background. Distress oxide inks were brushed over a stencil to create the abstract background then water drops flicked over to create some interest.  Gardening images stamped in brown ink directly onto the panel with masks used so the hand tools could be stamped behind the flower pots.  Images were coloured with a mixture of polychromos, metallic pencils and gel pens with added white gel pen highlights. Number 100 stamped in green ink with a bracket below again with some white gel highlights ... a topiary sculpture maybe?  White embossed sentiment on the same colour card as the matt layer. I've used - 6x6" white card base Issue 119 Creative Stamping covermount Claritystamp abstract ...
