Light-Up Snowflake Card x

 

Hello you lovely lot

I hope this finds you all well? Having a super week so far and finding time for crafting. It’s been busy here for me with work, some more fun Christmas makes plus even Halloween on my craft table. But today it’s back to Christmas

For my latest YouTube tutorial I created this 8x8 Christmas themed card and added some lights to make the Snowflakes sparkle a little more. The lush papers are more of my new faves from Craft Consortium and these are the Ink Drops Earth 12x12 bundle. I used Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide around the edges to add some darkness like through the papers

The wee Diodes I used are blue to match in with the cards colour-way. I used some older Dies from Chloe’s Creative Cards to make the 3 layered Snowflakes and with the same pattern papers and vellum on top. I also inked the edges of these. The swirls I used for foliage is a berry old die set from Crafters Companion but you could some leaf dies or stamps for a similar effect

The large sentiment die is another old one from my stash but you could use any you have or even a stamped sentiment would be great here.I mixed two glitters from Chloe’s, Starlit and Snowball to give a softer look that still catches the light and not forgetting all the gems

I also created this card below to show you can make a Light-Up card for any occasion

This one has more Craft Consortium paper but in the Dusk 12x12 papers. The floral dies are Summer Trio from Chloe’s along with the different layering dies

I changed it up and used some Black Soot Distress Ink on the edges of everything and an older Memory Box Sentiment die. The glitter on the flowers is Disco Fever and sadly you can’t get anymore.

Well check my YouTube for more emails and everything you need to make your own Light-Up card plus how to make it

Until next time

Merry-Go-Round x

 

Hello you lovely lot,

I hope this finds you all well? Have you been crafting? Is in Christmas yet for your crafting or is it still too early for you? I’ve been working away on Christmas makes already so felt that my latest tutorial should be the same

Away last year my lovely editor challenged me to create something different and of course I jumped at the the challenge, a little Merry-Go-Round. It was designed especially for the Hunkydory Magazine but decided I had to make it again. This is the original design using the magazine kit

What do you think? The original had a fantasy feeling with the unicorn stamps and gold mirror card and embellishments. I knew I wanted to make the next one a little different and with Christmas on my desk, decided to go with it

I used some older Christmas papers from the Craft Consortium called Candy Christmas and teamed it with brown cardstock and older pink papers to layer. The cute little Deer is a digi stamp I found on Etsy from Zekesami, here is the link. I coloured it up with my Copic Markers adding some glitter to the antlers and spots.

The gems are mostly from my stash that I got from AliExpress or Chloe’s Creative Cards and the very bright pink ribbon I got from Amazon in a pack. I also added some wee battery fairy lights, gluing the battery pack into the Gift Box Base and feeding through to hide around the edges

The fun part is the Merry-Go-Round actually turns. I fitted a piece of pipe to help keep it steady in the middle and when you turn the top the wee Deers are go round like old fashioned hobby horses. See the wee video below to see it working

My tutorial will show you how easy it is to make your own, even with a few mistakes lol. You can create your own by using the free download found over at Craft World HQ, free to all members. 

I hope you will create your own. Especially making your own Christmas Decoration or Trinket/Gift Box with plenty from to fit a gift, treat, sweets or even a Gift Card for someone Special 

You can also find more of my YouTube tutorials on my channel, why not check them out.

I best get back to work, more Christmas makes. Until next time

Bow Card Tutorial x

Hi you lovely lot and welcome back to my wee blog

Today I’m sharing my next YouTube tutorial with you all, a wee Bow Card

This time tho I’ve created a FREE download for you all to create your own! Follow the Bow Card Link and you will be taken to a Dropbox download for SVG files and a PDF for you to use with your cutting machine (like a Circuit or Silhouette) or print out and hand cut out instead

I created the above Bow Card just for the video and teach you how, making the pink and turquoise toned one. Both made exactly the same but looking totally different but just as stunning

I used my 12x12 Bazzill card stock along with different pattern papers on each but the same stamp and die set coloured with my Copic Markers. The stamp is from the amazing Alex Syberia Designs called Life is Good and I use the matching Dies to cut it out

I used some different coloured ribbons from Hobbycraft and Amazon along with gems from Chloe’s Bling box and the large gem is from AliExpress. I also added some foliage with an old sizzix die plus lots and lots of glitter

What do you think? Do you see your self creating one? It’s that type of card to give on an Extra Special Occasion, the BIG birthday or maybe a Wedding! The type of card to make people smile and something they will display and keep.

Remember you still have one more day to enter the giveaway, see the YouTube video for all the details plus you can find more of my tutorials here

Until next time, have fun crafting and remember to tag me if you create any of my makes
