Vellum LED Tealight Decoration - Video Tutorial

So I've seen lots of beautiful things made with Vellum, but I have very little patience and some of them seem very complicated.

I found something similar to these on Pinterest by various people so I decided to adapt them and make my own.

I spent hours last night crafting away and they are really rewarding.

Both the Santa (from Santa's List) and the Poinsettia (Joyful Christmas) are printed directly onto the vellum using MDS (My Digital Studio) which was fabulous as I was able to make them the exact size I wanted. Who would have thought you could print directly on Vellum - not something I ever considered doing previously! The nativity scene is from the 'Best of...' Christmas set as was the reindeer - who is embossed using black embossing powder.

I also added some Dazzling Diamonds... gotta' have sparkle at Christmas!

I'm not very good at colouring but the Vellum makes it so easy - and I couldn't live without my blender pens...

I will apologise that in places things are slightly out of shot. I have a trapped nerve in my neck and am really struggling - even worse now than earlier when I made the video - so there was no way I could re-shoot it - but I really wanted to share so you could all get creating before Christmas.

Have fun!

Stampin' Up! European Convention Manchester - Sneak Peeks

Well guys, it's Thursday and I expect you have probably heard enough about Convention - but I am still buzzing and STILL haven't had a chance to play with MDS (My Digital Studio) - we had an awesome session on it at Convention and I am dying to have a play!

In addition I have some NEW products that I must get on and create some sneak peeks for you with.

Oh - and some of the freebies I forgot to show you were the Make and Takes - which I still have to create!

AND - "c'mere there's more!" (you may 'get' this depending on your generation) There was an awesome Christmas Card from one of the Dutch Pinkies that she demoed and I am determined to CASE.

Anyhow... here are a couple of sneak peeks... These stamps and the watercolour card blanks will be coming to a catalogue near you soon! LOVING that Poppy!

And there are a couple of new stamps used here - but they are very subtle... I am CASEing this too!

Blimey - just remembered I need to add the Hearts Collection Framelits to my next order!

Well that's it from me for today... tune in for more posts - though maybe it's time for a few of my own projects... D'ya reckon?

Laters!

Hugs,

Dynamic Duo Challenge

Hi folks - I know... 2 posts in one day! Bet you can hardly believe your luck!

I have 2 reasons for posting again today - firstly because I have Agility training after work tomorrow and will not have time to post and secondly because as well as sharing my challenge entry I have some news!

I am starting up cardmaking and papercraft classes in Risborough - or in your own home if you wish to get a group of friends together. Here is the poster I made:

What do you think of it? I made it with the help of some software new to the UK - MDS (My Digital Studio) It is a Stampin' Up! product that will be available to you soon for the bargain price of just £13.95! It includes a fantastic selection of patterned papers and images from the Stampin' Up! range, including virtual card stock in all the colours so you can create photo pages, scrap books etc. I used the same software to create the video headers on my earlier video. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon.

And here is my Dynamic Duos challenge entry for this week. The colours were Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green, two of the in-colours from 2012-2014... so they're only available for another 12 months!

I have seen this stamp set used in lots of places and fell in love with it - it is called Blooming with Kindness and that blossom is just so stunning with amazing detail!

The stripes were just drawn on with a ruler and my Stampin' Right Markers.

Hope you like it and I'll be back Friday with another challenge entry.
