Giraffe slider card with distress ink background Tuesday 22 January 19

Hi again all you lovely people,

As they say here in Northern Ireland,"What's the craic?" lol which basically means how the heck are you???

I'm recovered from my flu (apart from my sinuses) and Thor my cat's doing really well so I'm feeling hopeful today that his leg is ok and no further treatment is needed!  He broke his leg in two places and dislocated his hip, he's had an operation and loads of bandage treatment so I'm hopeful it will all come to an end and he won't lose his leg, as he's getting around great and running after pumpkin (our minature chihuahua).  Anyway lets get down to business and talk about today's card.



It's such a fun card, I've seen loads of cards where there's an item that slides across and they're made with dies so as I'm trying to just "use what I've got" so I made one without buying any dies.

Check out my youtube channel for all the details.

Items used
Stamps from Make Special cards magazine issue 11
Lawn Fawn Grassy border dies
Scan n cut for trees

Distress inks 
Twisted citroen
Faded jeans
Picked Raspberry
Wilted Violet
Stormy skies

Alcohol pens
Card base from pound store

I hope you like it and give it a go. 
Till next time

Sea themed double slider card using Lawn Fawn dies Fri Jan 18

Hey again craft land,

Today I've made a double slider card using Lawn Fawn dies. The backgrounds are made with Tonic Nuvo Shimmer Powders in greens and blues and Brushos in the same colours.

The stamp set is really old and some of them don't stamp right (I really need some new ones) but I got enough images that did.  I'm gonna be making a few interactive cards as I heard MayMay Made it say something about a charity before Christmas that wanted interactive cards for kids.  I'm not exactly sure of the details but I'll make them and then contact her.

 Items Used

Really old stamps (lol)
Lawn Fawn double slider dies
Lawn Fawn stitched wave borders
Docraft water colour pens
Crafters Companion coloured pencils.
Brushos
Nuvo Shimmer Powders

So I thought you don't get more interactive than a double slider card lol.  I'm lazy so I like to use dies that make it easier lol.  Anyway I hope you love my creation.


Till next time

Star Card Tutorial using backgrounds I created and dies and stamps Tues 15 January 19

Hey again everyone

Today's card is a stash up lol.  Basically I've used all my stash I already have I rarely go and buy something unless I REALLY like it but I do have a splurge every now and then.  I do tend to buy magazines but only if I like the stamp set.  And loads of my fav stamp sets are from mags.

What I used

The card bases are from my stash (I think I got them from create and craft years ago)
The image stamps are from a magazine freebie from years ago.  The background is one from an earlier video.  The stamps and dies are from Hello Bluebird "Moose and Friends" and the star dies are from a Docrafts star set.  Foil card silver.  Stampin Up Copper Foil card.

I hope what I create gives you inspiration and ideas that you can use in your own crafting.  I don't create to encourage you to buy I create to encourage you to have fun and enjoy and to hopefully think I can do that with stuff from my stash.  I just have fun in the hope that you too will have fun.

So enough waffling for now lol. 

I hope you like what I've created and use it for inspiration in your own crafting.

Till next time

Hohoho Christmas card using strip dies sentiment dies and Nuvo background Sun Jan 13 2019

Hi again craftland 

Jacqui back with another project for you (if Thor my cat will let me type that is lol).  For this card I've used some backgrounds I created in an earlier youtube video.  I used Tonic nuvo shimmer powders and brushos to create them.  I wanted to make them into cards where I could still see lots of the background as I love making backgrounds and wanted to show them off not hide them.  On some I've also foiled over the top of the background too and I loved the shiny distress effect it gives.

I searched through my stash and found some Tonic and Sue Wilson strip dies, and some sentiment dies.  I thought these would be the perfect decoration for my card.  I scanned the actual strip dies into my brother scan n cut and got an outline for my sentiments.  I cut the outline in vellum and the dies in foil card.

The strip dies I layered up four times before adding.  To finish the cards I used some snowflakes and gems.

Items Used

Tonic strip die
Tonic Merry Christmas sentiment die
Sue Wilson strip die
Hohoho die (unbranded)
Tonic Nuvo shimmer Powders
Brushos
Watercolour card
Create and Craft foil
Todo foiling machine
Gold and silver foil card
White shimmer card
Stampin Up bow from gift bag dies

My card base is UK A6 4 1/8 x 11 1/2 scored at 5 3/4.  Foil layer is 5 1/2 x 3 7/8 and background layer is 5 1/4 x 3 5/8.

I hope you like my creations.
