A little wild xmas card 1 tutorial using acetate and inking Tues 30 Oct 18

Hey there guys n gals,I've got a really cute Christmas card using a stamp set that isn't Christmas.  The stamp set is from Stampin Up and it's called A little wild.  It's really a tag stamp and die set which is perfect for cards where you're gonna see the back of the image.  The little woolly hats are a free stamp and die set from a mag a few years ago.  I'm so glad I kept it it's so useful at this time of year.  

Anyway I made a basic A6 card only I used Hunkydory Snowfall acetate.  It's 8 1/4 xx 11 1/2 and scored at 5 3/4.  You need a section to ink a background that is 5 3/4 x 4 1/8 and another section for behind it that measures the same.  I used the snow drift die from Stampin Up Winter Woods stamp and dies set.  The snowflakes are from Stampin Up Blizzard die.  I used Stampin Up inks Highland Heather, Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel.

Autumn Card for Joy of Sets October Challenge

Hi again guys n gals,

Today I have a card with a lovely Autumn Wreath on it.  I created this card for the Joy of Sets Facebook page October Challenge.  This was being sponsored by Clearly Besotted.

I used a card base from a Tonic craft kit and a stamp from Tonic kit  No 12.  The wreath is made using a die from Winter Woods.  This was a really quick card to make I just die cut loads of the leaves from various red, green and brown card scraps.  I stamped the sentiments in Merry Merlot and added some gems from my stash to finish.

It's so easy to do so give it a try.

Hope you like

Non traditional Christmas Card Tutorial Thur 25 Oct 2018

Hi again everyone,

Hope I find you all healthy and happy.  Today we're making a non traditional Christmas card.  We're using Christmas stamps and dies but we're going for an orange background yippee!!  I used some Tonic Shimmer powders in Catherine Wheel and Solar Flare.  I also used the Playful Background stamps and white embossing powder.  For the second one I used the Buffalo check stamp which I adore.

I cut the Blizzard Thinlets into a piece of white card, then I sprayed with glue and added glitter.  The stamps sets I used were It Moose be Christmas by Creative Expressions and a set from the Magazine Making Cards Christmas 18.  

I hope you think I did a great job because I love these cards and i'm gonna be doing some more non traditional projects.

Till next time

Gift tag tutorial spinner, Halloween, Christmas Sat 13 Oct 18

 Hi there again guys n gals,
Hope you're all have a wonderful, crazy crafting day.

Today I'm making some gift tags yippee.  This is a short and sweet blog post but check out my youtube post which is long and not boring (I hope) lol.

Anyway the gift tags I'm using were gifted to me in a Pocket Letter swap by the lovely Kerry Mason so I'm endeavouring to use as many of the gifts I rec'd as possible.  Because I rec'd so many gift tags I was able to make loads of spinner gift tags as you need two tags for each of these.  I also made a shaker tag and an action wobbler one.  I had so much fun yippee.

Check out my youtube video for full details.

Z fold box in a card Thurs 11 Oct 18

Hi there guys n gals welcome to the world of Jacqui :) thanks for stopping by.

Today we're making a box in a card or whatever it's called lol.  It's one of those box cards in an actual card base.

I found this amazing creation on youtube made by France Martin so if you want to see hers go stop by.  

I made the first one with some Bluebird stamp sets and dies called Frosty friends and Woodland littles.

I can't wait to do some colouring now I've had one of my eyes fixed (cataract surgery)  to see if I can do any better a job lol.

My second one is made with the Stampin Up Signs of Santa stamps dies and papers.  I also used my scan n cut to cut out some of the images from the papers.

So onto the instructions ...

Card base is 11 1/4 x 4 1/8 scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2
Smaller section is 2 x 11 1/4 scored at 2 3/4 and 3 1/2 then
you flip it to the opposite side to attach.
Small inner sections (3) just under 2 inches tall and 4 wide and you score at 1/2 each side.

Check out my youtube video for all the layer measurements.

Today I have a quick card project for you.  For the first one I've used some cute reindeer I rec'd in a pocket letter swap from Sue Bishop (they are just too cute!!).  The trees in the first one were gifted from Sue too.  I created some backgrounds a while ago with Tonic Nuvo shimmer powders and Stampin Up stamps and I've used these for my backgrounds.

I've used trees and stamps from Stampin Up for the second card.  The sentiment for both came from a Lawn Fawn set.

I've used an A6 card base which is 5 3/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 4 1/8.  

Stampin Up Items Used

Seasonal chums stamps and dies
