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.

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP. I've used -   4x4" & A6 card bases Sizzix thinlits Tim Holtz festive repeat & circle words Christmas dies Mag freebies - foliage die, sentiment stamp, tree EF Linking up wit
