Fairy House Tutorial

 

Happy Friday lovelies

I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the gorgeous summer weather we're getting?? Here in Scotland it's just soooooo warm, but no complaints. Just need a little cooler to get the dog walked instead of at 6am and 10pm at night?? Poor pup that she is

Toady I wanted to share my latest wee YouTube Tutorial with you, a lovely Fairy House

What do you think?? Too busy?? Just right or does it need something? The original template I created for this was for a magazine piece last year, the Hunkydory Box Magazine no.17 but sadly you can't get this as a physical copy another. You can still get a digital version here if you want to see what else the Design team created.

 

For the tutorial I created a smaller version first to show how its looks

I used some Bazzill pink and yellow 12x12 craft card and added some pretty First Edition Oh So Sweet pattern papers to the top along with some cute little Lawn Fawn fairies coloured up with my Copic Markers. Of course there is plenty glitter along with Mulberry flowers and gems to decorate

For the main Fairy House I used some gorgeous papers from 49 and Market, Art Options Rouge along with more Bazzill 12x12 card in a deep burgundy and smokey grey

I teamed the Fairy House with an older Some odd Girl Digi Stamp, Fairy Magic and coloured up with my Copic Markers added glitter to the wings and face. The Glitter I used was some older glitter glue with loose glitter added in to make it extra sparkly. The small butterflies are from very old Martha Stewart punch but you can find similar here

The template has an open space in the bottom to allow you to pop in a wee faux tea light or fairy lights and light up through the vellum windows

Remember you can find the tutorial over on my YouTube Channel as well as lots of other to keep you busy while it's too warm to sit outside. You can also find the link to the template here

Until next time, stay safe everyone and make sure to drink plenty during the hot weather

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

Monochrome Colouring xx

Hello all

Well what happened to that sun yesterday??? Just as I was saying to you all was beautiful here the skies turned grey and exploded with rain and hail! Typical Scottish weather I suppose!

I wanted to share a wee Die'sire Design Team project with you today, as I've been practising with the Spectrum Noirs and really need all you lovely peeps advice!

So I took a one of my Hannah Lynn Digis and coloured her to my best ability with the Spectrum Noirs! 

This was my 3rd attempt but I was happy with it (as I could be), I only find the skin tones a struggle but the colouring itself was easy! Thats from a PROMARKER lover too!

Here's my finished card

I used the stunning Die'sire Cloud Embossing Folder which I inked a bit with a silver metallic ink that I've had in my stash for a while! The flowers are the delish quilling dies Die'sire Sunflower Small and Sunflower Large and the Leaf 2 die before finishing the flowers with some ink and card candi. I used  DCWV Papers that I had in my stash and the sentiment is from the freebie with this months Crafters Inspiration mag!

I would like to enter these Challenges

Just Inspirational - Embossing

Crafting Musketeers - Monochrome

pile it on - Feminine

The Cutie Pie Challenge - Cute with Dies and Punches
