Hot Diggity Dog class - 26/08/14

So here I am with time on my hands and crafters block again! Must be the lure of the sunshine...

I have a couple more cards I made using the Hot Diggity Dog stamp set - we are using this in class on the 26th and I still have a space if you are interested!

***EXTRA DATE NOW AVAILABLE - 1st SEPTEMBER 7:30PM - Contact me to book ***

The kit for the class includes the stamp set, ink pad and Stampamajig... if you have any of these elements you can change them for something of equal value for your kit.

The first card I admit I cheated and used my retired wheel for the pawprints... it had to be done!


I used Blendabilities to colour the Pug's face - ain't he cute?

Next one uses the Big Shot for the Labels Framelits and the Beautiful Wings embosslit...


Lastly I used the Windows Collection Framelits and the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack for this card.


Hope these give you a little inspiration and look forward to seeing you at a class - or sharing your projects!

I am placing an order on the 10th, so if you can collect from me give me your order and you'll save postage!

Big Shot... What is it? What can it do for me?

So if you are tempted by the current offer but are unsure what the Big Shot does... Here is a short video.



Can you spot where I used the Big Shot to make this card? I also used Blendabilities and the Hello Darling stamp set.

Hello from North Wales!

I'm sorry I've been neglecting you all but I am in a remote part of North Wales near Caernarfon.

I have so far done lots of things I've never done before!

I've been out on a jet ski, taken the dogs swimming in the sea with me, been to the pub via boat, rowed out to sea in a kayak. Some things I've done before, like the Go Karting and climbing a mountain!

The scariest thing was towing the caravan nearly 260 miles! Having only towed it 3 or 4 times!

Yesterday we visited Snowdonia National Park and visited the grave of Gelert...

The story of Gelert is here.

I was going to show you one of the views but it won't download so you'll have to wait 'til I get home! But I have lots of pics for my project life album! :-)

I'm going to be away from the internet now until Sunday! So keep on crafting.

Xxxx

Back to Basics - Reflection Technique 1

On Saturday I promised you another Back To Basics video showing the technique for reversing or reflecting an image - there are two ways I have used and the first uses the sheet from the Stampamajig.

Here is a card I made using this technique -


The stamp set was Lovely as a Tree

Here is the video!

Pinkies Blog Hop - 2014 Annual Catalogue


Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop. We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up! annual catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

I hope you are enjoying the hop so far, if you are starting here please check out the rest of the Hop!

I have so much gorgeous new product that it was hard to choose what to focus on - I have chosen Hot Diggity Dog as it is what we're using for our August class!

The first card features the Scotty dog, I coloured his jumper with Stampin' Up! Blendabilities, the apertures were cut using the Ovals Framelits and the mat was embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder.

I used the Stampamajig to get the head positioned perfectly and then the sentiment was punched out using the Word Window and Modern Label punches.


If our Scottie dog wasn't cute enough here is a super simple card made using the Dachshund... and when you open it up!


That was so much fun to make and took minutes! The last card is one of my Pop Up cards, I did a tutorial for these - this one however has a twist! I used the Poodle this time, the star stamp from Something to Say and the co-ordinating star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The decoration on the belly band is punched with 3 different size Circles and one of the Scallop Circle punches.


So here's the surprise - can you see what I've done?


I've reversed the images - come back Monday for the first of two techniques in my Back to Basic series that show you how to stamp mirror images.
