Card Making

Hello crafty friends!

I am so super duper excited, because today I have a project to share over on the Simon Says Stamp blog! I am sharing a video tutorial on how I used the new Heffy Doodle Warm Hugs stamps and dies to create this card – which includes a pop up scene on the inside!

I also show you how I tried to recreate an Aurora Borealis look using my distress inks. Head on over to the Simon Says Stamp blog now to check it out!

Hey gang – sneaking back into this blog post to add some more photos! This card was made using some Distress Oxide Ink, and the Warm Hugs and Elfish Antic images.

I also added a sentiment from the Elfing Christmas Words stamp set.

I showed how you can add the water ripple image, and use the coordinating die to cut a curvy slit into the image. I decided to tuck in a candy cane from the Elfish Antics set. 

I love adding some poofiness with the marvy snow marker. It’s lots of fun!

For this card I used my twinkling H2Os to colour in the gem images from Heffy Doodle Geology Rocks. I love the sparkle it gives them.
I decided to go for a shaker card this time, so used some diamond shaky bits from both Honey Bee Stamps and Studio Katia. The Under Pressure sentiment was the perfect addition.

On the inside, I added some more of the sentiments that come with this Geology Rocks set, and I also added the diamond stamp – covered it in glitter! SHINY!

For this next card – I used Beary Big Heart. I used the heart border die from Lawn Fawn to create this background panel and then used my distress inks to create the rainbow effect behind it.

The bear looks pretty happy to be outside during his rainbow shower! 😀 He was coloured using copic markers.

I decided to use sentiments from this set to add a greeting. I love that this set has girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband and Fiance(e) greetings. They are going to be so handy!

Thanks again for stopping by, and i hope you will join me for another Come Craft With Me LIVE stream this Friday at 9pm GMT.

Hey crafty gang!

Last week I did an extra LIVE craft stream. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to give you guys warning, but when the urge strikes, the urge strikes! LOL.  I made a card for my nephew Luke, who has just started Uni. I remember when i started university, I was so flabbergasted about how much it cost to buy basic food. So instead of sending him a care package, I decided to send him a gift card for a grocery store. He can either buy food, snacks or drinkypoohs!

I thought it would be fun to create a background using lots of food images. I really wanted a beer tankard or beer bottle, but i had to make do with the wine bottle- haha! All the images in the background are from Heffy Doodle – and so is the panda….. well, kind of!

He is actually a bear from the Unbearable Without You stamp set – but I decided to stretch my stamps and colour him in like a panda. Massive thank you to Craig who googled a panda face to help me out in the middle of the LIVE stream – he kinda looked like a bandit at one point! 😀

The knife and fork are from a Lawn Fawn Party Animals set – aren’t they simply perfect! I then added a HELLO greeting which is from the Lawn Fawn Yay Kites set. I embossed it in blue and raised this up on a piece of die cut foam for lots of dimension!

Around the outside I added the Dotted Detail frame from Mama Elephant – I love that it is so fine and delicate – even though it can be a little tricky to work with at times.

On the inside, I tried to replicate the cool gift card holder die from Lawn Fawn. I used a folded piece of card, creased it and used a circle die to cut out a curved section. I love that this is a fun surprise when the card is opened! Also inside I added some stamping. The word ENJOY from Lawn Fawn Tiny Tags and the message below is from a Simon Says Stamp Bear Necessities stamp set.

There we have it! I hope Luke enjoys his surprise gift…. although I have just realised that it’s half term at the moment, so I better not post it until next week when he gets back on campus!

Thanks for stopping by, and i hope that you will join me for my regular LIVE crafting stream on Friday nights at 9pm UK time. You can watch LIVE on my youtube channel – youtube.com/hungryheffy – it’s lots of fun! DON’T FORGET – our clocks go back this weekend, which means us Brits are no longer on British Summer Time, but Greenwich Mean Time.

See you next time – where I will be showing you guys some sneaky peekies of the NEW Heffy Doodle Release! 😀
