Bildmalarna Bargain!

Morning everyone, this is my first post for J&C Creations and I would like to share a card I made recently using a Bildmalarna stamp. These stamps are so sweet and are a dream to colour. J&C have absolutely loads to choose from and at half price you can afford to bag a bargain (or 2, or 3, lol!) I have used one of my favourite Spellbinder dies to make a gatefold card with a difference.

Mimosa's in the Pink!

Hi Everyone

Sue Here

Myself and Natalie are showing PINK'y things this week and I have gone minimalistic, which is really hard for me!
If you choose one colour and use this with water in different strengths you get a uniform looking card.  

I firstly stamped the flourish top and bottom of a square card with tattered rose distress ink, then stamped out in Victorian Velvet distress ink 'mimosa'  then coloured this in with the same distress markers and a wet paintbrush and cut it out with the spellbinder die.

I then inked the edges with tattered rose distress ink.

I cut out the leaves and inked them up with lilac rose ink.  The flower, I cut out all four sizes and inked the edges up with victorian velvet distress ink then added a brad for the centre. I cut these out of the beautiful Heartfelt Creations patterned cardstock I then used Pinflair glue to put the card together and added a pink ribbon

Hi Everyone

Sue Here

Today we are looking at acetate through stamping, embossing and colouring.

I firstly chose the Bildmalarna stamp Mime Roses and coloured this in with promarkers.

I then Took some background papers and firstly covered an A5 piece of card with striped paper.  Then added a template shape from the Hot off the Press Toolkit 3 (these are plastic shapes that you can draw around and use in alsorts of ways.

I then cut a light blue frame with the spellbinder Label 21and embossed it.  Then cut the same shape from the A5 piece of backed card.  I then glued the window to the front of the A5 piece and placed a piece of acetate behind the window together with the coloured in stamped image.

I then stamped some Dylusion leaf stamps onto acetate quite a few times with versamark making sure I used an antistatic bag on the acetate first to stop embossing  powder sticking.  I then heat set the WOW ebony embossing powder hen coloured the leaves in with promarkers.  I then cut around the leaves and stuck them to the left side of the window.

I added a PRIMA flower to cover the silicone glued corner and a sentiment.

Items can be purchased from J & C Creations website.

Another idea with acetate   take care.....Sue

Hi Everyone

Sue Here

Today is the start of Crufts so I thought I would celebrate this by stamping with one of my favourite stamps from Bildnalarna "Friends on a Log"

I love the simplicity of this stamp and you can do so much with it.  Today I have stamped it out 4 times on different patterned cardstock and also stamped the log out using a paper bag given to me with crafty items in.  I have then decoupaged this together.

The background I have taken a black piece of card, cut it into a square, then sprayed a heat resistant piece of acetate with blue cosmic shimmer and left it overnight to dry.  I have then cut the same square from this and used it as night sky attaching it to the black card with brads.  Obviously different coloured cardstock will give different effects behind the acetate so don't be afraid to experiment.  I then added some glitter stars.  A really simple card, but effective.

All the highlighted items can be purchased through the J & C Creations website.

To all our canine friends young and old....have a lovely day....Sue

Curiosity Box for Mum

Hi Everyone

 Sue Here 

Today I have made a curiosity box for my mum.  You can adapt this by using your hougie board or going to the website The house of Zandra - www.houseofzandra.co.uk and purchasing the template.

The overall measurement of this box is 6ins width x 8 ins length x 1 ins tall and has 8 compartments and I used cosmic shimmer glue to stick it together.

I have used double sided cardstock, then cut some templates out for the background card I have placed at the rear of the little inner boxes.  I have then decorated with the following from J & C Creations website:

 

Bildmalarna 'friends on a log' stamp

Heartfelt Creations 'Tattered Collage' stamp

Distress Markers

Marianne Creatables LR0150

To create the tag spritz a tag with water and swipe over with 3 Distress Stains. Once dry use a snowflake stamp and the Picket Fence Stain to create a patterned background, repeat once more with Distress Ink and then blend around the edges. Fix some White ribbon and a paper doily onto the tag, placing your image on top and then embellish the tag.

INGREDIENTS -

Bildmalarna Stamp 'Mimosa Lights the Way'

Paper Doily & Ribbon

Flowers, Dew Drops, Flower Charm & Glitter

Bags of shiness...

Hi Everyone

Sue here,

Today is the turn of Bildmalarna stamps Mimo Roses.  He's such a cute guy.

I firstly took a piece of card and put backing paper over it and distressed it with walnut stain distress ink. I then took a further piece of white cardstock and ran it through my big shot  with a button mask.  

The embossed outline I inked up with  tea dye and lettuce distress ink. I curled the edges for a distressed look. 

 I then took a piece from a paper bag which I got some craft goodies in and cut a piece from it, running it through the Spellbinder expandable patterns die - Botanical swirls.  I then inked this up with Tea dye ink.

The next layer was a piece of material with holes in it.  Again a little ink added to the edges.

The next layer is 3 dies. One being the Heartfelt Creations layered elegant swirl and two memory box dies. I then used a flower punch to cut out some little flowers for the branches.

 

I coloured the young chap in distress pens and die cut him with spellbinder label 14.  

Hope you have BAGS of energy for your crafting this week. Take care.

Sue
