<br />
Yes, I've been conspicuous by my absence! I've been busy doing live demo's on my Facebook Group, Knall Crafting... there's a page - which has a rose as the avatar, the group is the multi-coloured paper.<br />

I've been busy crafting and am getting all my Christmas cards made at the moment... I know waaaaay too many people!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I just wanted to pop in quickly and let you know I am still here.<br />
<br />
Here's a couple of my makes!<br />

I must have a fever.<br />
<br />
So here is my second project with the Trinket box dies.<br />
<br />
This was so much fun and is based entirely on little boxes I've seen on Pinterest and various blogs - so I can't give any particular credit. But these dies lent themselves to this design.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXJVLuRkwg-GEO3YTlEY_vzSrMTVqqFkygLZyekY7tRMImVrZzYg3RFZJYeUSe4337wnazUBkPKzixdoBG9zFur2XlllCTVKmGWUnPV0oLLQG9LP1lsOXjRrDJCS2Wnuy0EOSZZDMxTSk/s1600/IMG_1464.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="795" data-original-width="650" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXJVLuRkwg-GEO3YTlEY_vzSrMTVqqFkygLZyekY7tRMImVrZzYg3RFZJYeUSe4337wnazUBkPKzixdoBG9zFur2XlllCTVKmGWUnPV0oLLQG9LP1lsOXjRrDJCS2Wnuy0EOSZZDMxTSk/s640/IMG_1464.jpg" width="522" /></a></div>
<br />
The coordinating stamps were screaming out to be heat embossed in a coordinating colour and the dies cut so beautifully!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As you open up the boxes inside are revealed<br />
<br />

<br />
Each box also decorated with the detailed dies<br />
<br />
And turn it around - it's a total work of art!<br />
<br />

Now - Much as I love blogging and sharing with you - I also hate to sacrifice precious crafting time - so there's no frequency to my posts, that means if you don't want to miss out on what I'm sharing, but you don't want to keep checking in when there's nothing new... you can subscribe to the blog - or like my KnallCrafting Facebook page - where I always share my latest posts.<br />
<br />
Ta Ta for now!<br />

I must be getting back in my stride!<br />
<br />
It hasn't been hard finding my crafting Mojo lately as I have been subscribing to Tonic Studio's Monthly Craft Kits - You can subscribe here... <a href="https://toniccraftkit.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tonic Craft Kit</a><br />
<br />
Every month I receive a selection of Craft Perfect paper and card stock, an assortment of Nuvo products, an amazing set of dies and coordinating stamp set. This month the dies made up a super trinket box and here is something I created!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0SUm1G3jbvPa9qE80q-m3Wgv6sQKsfMGZYYWdYX0hxWWjGm19Jc9BjSTgRHglzeCiXO9uKMrebpqIvb_tWMs0hKr-4qjvrccZW89WAWVhLFYg8bhGOHKGChfPqAMjug2-7xqBhRXyL20/s1600/IMG_1483.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="650" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0SUm1G3jbvPa9qE80q-m3Wgv6sQKsfMGZYYWdYX0hxWWjGm19Jc9BjSTgRHglzeCiXO9uKMrebpqIvb_tWMs0hKr-4qjvrccZW89WAWVhLFYg8bhGOHKGChfPqAMjug2-7xqBhRXyL20/s640/IMG_1483.jpg" width="417" /></a></div>
<br />
It is so versatile and can be used for jewelry, makeup, craft supplies and embellishments... the options are endless!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn-G82inUR7p_c2tmyQlJDpIfww-Gf8q2CdhuDdFaOTQY9nnMbToSeCWvUxKml7JS6FvMPKeKo2IvV6O-tbD9E8HVOZfHThh3ub3JdnHPNzw-xK9A7lV-WgizXcIrlm1RckY_p0HtQDB4/s1600/IMG_1484.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="674" data-original-width="650" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn-G82inUR7p_c2tmyQlJDpIfww-Gf8q2CdhuDdFaOTQY9nnMbToSeCWvUxKml7JS6FvMPKeKo2IvV6O-tbD9E8HVOZfHThh3ub3JdnHPNzw-xK9A7lV-WgizXcIrlm1RckY_p0HtQDB4/s320/IMG_1484.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<br />
It has 12 drawers and they are configured to increase the stability of the design to make it sturdy! The drawers, drawer sleeves and the stunning detailing are all part of the kit! You can see how beautifully the dies cut!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ7bcR6BAl3HEAB4E6zz2swD56BAk3WGeJdVWHUpa_GEsaFZeK8k3i5ge10is5JtB8BVgqViZRUitaQaJ91t-3oDBkMFdzQEkzfLmQlzFzfMdaX6cvfKR1NKLaKXVFqzOo98d7zPAKyYw/s1600/IMG_1486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="650" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ7bcR6BAl3HEAB4E6zz2swD56BAk3WGeJdVWHUpa_GEsaFZeK8k3i5ge10is5JtB8BVgqViZRUitaQaJ91t-3oDBkMFdzQEkzfLmQlzFzfMdaX6cvfKR1NKLaKXVFqzOo98d7zPAKyYw/s320/IMG_1486.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
Each layer of drawers, and the boxes on top, are first adhered to a 5 x 5" piece of black card which also helps reinforce the structure as well as holding everything together. The boxes on top are just simple boxes that I designed and I have added a coordinating lime green liner for extra support and to give the whole thing a quality look and feel.<br />
<br />
I have another surprise from Craft Kit 8 to show you - it may even be tomorrow! So do pop back!<br />

<br />
I hope you all treated your Mums yesterday... or were treated by your children if you have them.<br />
<br />
I really wanted to knock the ball out of the park this year and the Tonic Memory Book dies really enabled me to do this.<br />
<br />
I used lots of embellishments and also some dies from Subscription Kit #7<br />
<br />
Of course a little Nuvo got included and I made the box to hold it.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures!<br />

<br />
Sometimes I envy people who have a 'faith' to turn to in times of crisis. My husband is amazing and supportive luckily. But what also really give me a lift, a sense of not being alone, reassuring and motivational support are the on-line communities I belong to.<br />
<br />
The two main Facebook pages I follow have been <b>Tonic Studios</b> (Craft Products) and <b>Kit and Clowder</b> (Colouring Community). I have had a lot of support from everyone and it has made a huge difference! So a big Thank You! to everyone on those pages.<br />
<br />
Those of you who craft will recognise the benefits of being able to immerse yourself in creating and of course I've been doing that!<br />
<br />
Here is a card I made with the new <b>Tonic Studio's Memory Book Creator die</b> bundle. Now the image doesn't do it justice! As this card is 8in x 8in! I know!<br />

See all the gorgeous confetti inside? That is the <b>Tonic Nuvo</b> confetti found in the packs of 4. I just love them and if I were a fortune teller I would be seeing lots of shaker cards in my future! Oh and LOTS of glitter.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for continuing to visit my blog. I know I don't post as regularly these days, but as you saw above... Life's been a bit rubbish and I'm just determined to stay positive!<br />
<br />
OH and I forgot to mention - I've been smoke free for nearly 5 months!<br />

I'm absolutely loving the Nuvo drops and the monthly craft kits are basically craft porn in a box!<br />
<br />
So now my doses of bliss and crafting happiness are split through the month! Tonic Craft Kit the first week of the month, followed on the 15th by my Kit and Clowder colouring class.<br />
<br />
This week I used the die set from the craft kit with one of the images I coloured, just to make a bit of something colourful to brighten up the dreary wet January days.<br />

I'm sorry the picture quality isn't great but that's the problem with glass. Can you see where I've used the Nuvo drops?<br />
<br />
I'm going to blog a whole lot more now and will share my colouring and crafting with you - hope 2018 is looking fabulous for you so far! I'm waiting for my next colouring class with bated breath! 24 hours to go!

The clocks went back yesterday so it'll be dark an hour earlier but just now the sun is streaming through the window.<br />

I'm biting the bullet and going to run a class in November. I only have about 8 spaces left available and we're making some fabulous Gift Wrapping!<br />

Still suffering with my back but this week I did manage to make a start on a markers class with Kit and Clowder.<br />
<br />

<br />
Unfortunately I wasn't happy with the results and here is why!<br />
<br />
I had opted to use some 'cheaper' card stock that someone suggested might be suitable for markers, but unfortunately, this months' class was quite detailed and I noticed the markers were bleeding. You can see here, where these were supposed to be fine lines... easily achievable with Copics <u>with practice</u>.<br />

Yes it hurts... still! It's curbing my activity as I can't sit down, the Chiro is costing me a fortune I'm lucky I have a few bits I have had on my hard drive for a while to share.<br />
<br />
I'm going to try and blog more! I've been back from holiday for a week - it was hot... I was prone and I wish I was still there. Even if I did spend most of it flat on my back!<br />
<br />
Today I have a video tutorial for you. Please let me know if there is anything you would like a video for - just add a comment on this post and if it's possible I'll do it for you!<br />
<br />
This is a little shaker card I made and I know they're quite popular... this is a Christmas design but you can substitute any of the stamps! And the paper!<br />

<br />
Well I've decided to shake up my blog a bit and today is as good a day as any!<br />
<br />
I'm broken... yup - completely knackered!<br />
<br />
It's seems I've managed to do something to one of my discs in my spine... So I'm pretty much prone, and have been for a week now. Sitting is the most painful thing ever and for goodness sake don't ask me to bend!<br />
<br />
Blaze has gone to stay with my parents... which he is loving as he's playing 24/7 with their collie puppy. That way he will get walked.<br />
<br />
Now I don't know if you've ever had a problem with your back but I now know why pregnant women are taught to pant... it really does help a little with pain management. I just never expected to have to pant in order to put on my knickers!<br />
<br />
I mentioned I've been doing some work with my Copics and here's a couple of things I would like to share today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA66zrQFkhtQsZWdyWpy_kZlujhvpTpFUJonqDZrMdVplCygcX2eStHB1Ky5goe8G1PH28ncH6ATym2CwzSdDK0jcn_WO-wXgKE9nPjBWoRzeQmhEW3h01aC0ipndCujkLgbhhfZ_yJg8/s1600/IMG_5600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA66zrQFkhtQsZWdyWpy_kZlujhvpTpFUJonqDZrMdVplCygcX2eStHB1Ky5goe8G1PH28ncH6ATym2CwzSdDK0jcn_WO-wXgKE9nPjBWoRzeQmhEW3h01aC0ipndCujkLgbhhfZ_yJg8/s400/IMG_5600.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
This was an entry into Conie Fong's monthly challenge. The illustration is one of hers and the challenge was to team it up with die cuts - so my SU stash came to the rescue.<br />
<br />
I love the monochrome technique I used here and I'll probably use it again - I would love to hear what you think!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is another of Conie's images and I used some SU items here too. If you fancy colouring this image and would like some guidance, Alyce (Kit and Clowder) has re-released her class where she teaches techniques to colour this and another image - one in Pencil and one Markers.<br />
<br />
Check out the Facebook groups and websites to colour and buy the images (Discounted if you purchase the class!)<br />

<br />
I'm doing this Diploma through work and I'm really struggling with my confidence and my ADHD really doesn't help with my focus - but I am going to do this! You watch!!!!!<br />
<br />
So now I've bored you I'm going to share some of my recent work. I've been doing a lot of colouring with <b>Copics</b> and some with <b>Spectrum Noirs</b>. The joy of the alcohol markers is that they blend beautifully - as a <b>Stampin' Up!</b> Demonstrator I usually focus on SU products as the quality and diversity of their products, combined with the co-ordination, is unrivalled.<br />
<br />
I do recognise though that a lot of my customers have other products so today I'm going to show some projects that have used <b>Stampin' Up!</b> products to showcase the colouring I've been doing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvrRlRqjnpxp6P41wKakT0K7A-sRTATTGugWJN2pRqEiTrtuzaVp9MZL7SnDRqJhl9RCGtI2uohjTepCQEknVhWfBNzeEqZXfVinudxKeXLJJqV8UbV8F6klaIFoCQHeT7DDQMckoGeB4/s1600/IMG_5392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvrRlRqjnpxp6P41wKakT0K7A-sRTATTGugWJN2pRqEiTrtuzaVp9MZL7SnDRqJhl9RCGtI2uohjTepCQEknVhWfBNzeEqZXfVinudxKeXLJJqV8UbV8F6klaIFoCQHeT7DDQMckoGeB4/s400/IMG_5392.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
Here I've used the new embossing paste for the brickwork using the SU mask... all the elements are SU but I've used the <b>Spectrum Noirs</b> to good effect. The stamp sets are <b>At Home With You</b> (and coordinating dies), <b>Bella and Friends</b> and <b>Banners for You</b> (with co-ordinating Dies).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In this second card I have used the shells and fish from the <b>Seaside Shore</b> stamp set, the lily from <b>Remarkable You</b> and you'll notice the embossing inside - that's the <b>Seaside</b> embossing folder. The lovely mermaid is by <b>Conie Fong</b> and coloured with my <b>Copics</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lastly for today - It's Christmas in July! Except it's now August - and we seem to have moved straight to winter, as it certainly feels more like Christmas in light of the recent weather. The stamp set is <b>Seasonal Bells</b> - with coordinating punch and the background stamp is <b>Sheet Music</b> - I'm totally in love with that!<br />
<br />

Righty ho - I've been studying all day and sat at the computer a lot - so I'm off for my tea and a bit of a lie down to free up my old aching back!

Today I'm sharing a few cards made with just one set - <b>Birthday Blooms</b>.<br />
<br />
I was really disappointed when <b>Stampin' Up!</b> withdrew their Blendable markers. So the first few images show you really don't need alcohol markers to colour beautiful images... the last is a little self indulgent as I did buy a set of <b>Spectrum Noir</b> markers... I'm still learning but am going to be doing a set of amazing classes from <b>Kit and Clowder</b>. (Link at the end!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I also used <b>Blender Pens</b> here - not perfect but It's the colour combo here that I love! Oh - and the fabulous <b>Lace Trim</b> and <b>Duet Banner</b> punch.<br />

<br />
This was coloured with <b>Aqua Painters</b> after first stamping the image with <b>Versamark</b> and using <b>Clear Embossing Powder</b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
This was another one with the <b>Aqua Painters</b>, but I used <b>Archival Ink</b> so it wouldn't run when I added the water.<br />
<br />

<br />
This last image was coloured with my <b>Spectrum Noir</b> markers - I may have opted for a different manufacturer if I had realised the limitations of these pens... But they're probably perfect for me to get started with!<br />
<br />

<br />
I have had a little time for a play with my new goodies, but I also had my first assignment to complete for my diploma - a little scary as I left school quite some time ago!<br />
<br />
In July classes we're making these lovely cards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjknuz9ymX4bxcJpwXNo4zf-JiprBK7iVZPJNkYGuNl9sw3eTvi1EllomrMZtZwjow-W21BXf5n60QvievijR9BX0lu5avdOPToUUAt-EgYJ7vxx2kZs1EpqaKcOXrr6GgDdDlYEg4tVHI/s1600/IMG_5259.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjknuz9ymX4bxcJpwXNo4zf-JiprBK7iVZPJNkYGuNl9sw3eTvi1EllomrMZtZwjow-W21BXf5n60QvievijR9BX0lu5avdOPToUUAt-EgYJ7vxx2kZs1EpqaKcOXrr6GgDdDlYEg4tVHI/s400/IMG_5259.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
I LOVE this one! <b>Daisy Delight</b> combined with <b>Jar of Love</b> and <b>Badges and Banners</b>. I'm not surprised a year's supply of the punches sold out in weeks, globally! AND I actually managed to cut into that stunning DSP (patterned paper).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQIl38AgatfEyArXgdpdDmc2B1KxD0HsRdYbnMEuCbj5LfJApeUcbjt-Ce7eH2aeEiC6Es8hV7OT0XVJJafV30tU1EjtRjl_k49JjZOS8j4O9oYViPuhecx5j1acNAtic4-ENxXBAjrls/s1600/IMG_5260.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="650" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQIl38AgatfEyArXgdpdDmc2B1KxD0HsRdYbnMEuCbj5LfJApeUcbjt-Ce7eH2aeEiC6Es8hV7OT0XVJJafV30tU1EjtRjl_k49JjZOS8j4O9oYViPuhecx5j1acNAtic4-ENxXBAjrls/s400/IMG_5260.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then using <b>Jar of Love</b> again with the <b>Swirly Scribbles</b> thinlits and <b>Layering Squares</b> framelits I rustled up this cutey - the ladies wanted something for the men in their lives.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Mwk8SY_rIOI1npZ7A2pK-S5432yxx6LIYLJSPNyaF7u56000YNZwv0rtLxSKKYXVJjitJQFowX2ao-gNOOcHqWcMNs2vWWkpMwDtgOksiA-TLQkz1lhkKb1pc-BmWYkidKvA30M9ObU/s1600/IMG_5261.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="650" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Mwk8SY_rIOI1npZ7A2pK-S5432yxx6LIYLJSPNyaF7u56000YNZwv0rtLxSKKYXVJjitJQFowX2ao-gNOOcHqWcMNs2vWWkpMwDtgOksiA-TLQkz1lhkKb1pc-BmWYkidKvA30M9ObU/s400/IMG_5261.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And this one, using <b>Swirly Bird</b> and the <b>Swirly Scribbles</b> dies with the <b>Everyday Jars</b> framelits is a bit of fun!<br />
<br />
Take care and please keep popping by - I will update again soon!<br />
<br />
I can probably squeeze in an extra date if you wanted to book a class - just give me a ring!<br />

<br />
I've been bust drooling over the new catalogue... don't worry you only have until the 1st of June to wait!<br />
<br />
My pre-order has arrived and quite honestly I don't want to be typing this! I want to be playing!<br />
<br />
My friend Anthony asked me for some videos... But I hadn't a clue what to do so I recorded the shadowing technique below.<br />
<br />
The stamp set is '<b>Remarkable You</b>'.<br />
<br />
The first 2 cards show where I have used this technique to extract some of the ink from the stamped image. The 3rd where I have added colour. Scroll down for the video tutorial.<br />

Well hello there! Long time no see! I've been crafting quite a bit the last few weeks... using some of the retiring products that I love before I get to swoon over and stroke all my new goodies from the new catalogue!<br />
<br />
I've also booked quite a few trips in the caravan, next weekend is my first since June last year towing!<br />
<br />
One of the questions I asked some of the other demonstrators was... "I love my patterned papers, I buy them because they're beautiful... but I just can't cut into them! What can I do with my stash to make room for new papers?<br />
<br />
The response? "CUT IT!"<br />
<br />
So I did... and the next few days I'll be sharing some simple ideas... the first is the one we'll be doing in our classes during May.<br />

<br />
Today is my 5th anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - it has been great fun. I have grown creatively and met some amazing people, forging some lasting friendships!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>To celebrate my 5 years... the first 5 people to order at least £50 worth of products from me will get around £5 worth of goodies sent to them as a gift from me or a voucher for 5% of the value of their order off their next purchase - whichever is higher! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The retiring list has been published and I'm sad to say many of the items are selling out fast! I can't believe 3 of my favourite, 'go to' stamp sets are retiring! <b>Gorgeous Grunge, Papillon Potpourri</b> and <b>Petite Petals</b>. So I have a couple more cards using Petite Petals to show you today!</div>

The retiring list is available via the link on the right hand side... I'm definitely going to miss this set though.<br />
