Come Craft With Me

CCWM – Bunny & Veg Slider Card – LIVE Craft Video

on August 12, 2017

Hello crafty friends!

I am back from vacation, and it feels like a million years since I have been crafty! Although I was absolutely pooped after holiday, I really needed some creative therapy so I turned on the camera for another Come Craft With Me LIVE crafting sesh on Friday night. Thanks to everyone who joined me.

When I came home, there was an envelope of goodies waiting for me – from crafty Insta-friend Michelle Daigle. I managed to be the lucky winner of her Instagram giveaway and I won a Lawn Fawn ink pad and the Rooting for you stamp and die set. I decided to use them for my LIVE show.

I made a fun slider surprise card. I am not sure if that is actually what they are called but I am going to go with that for now! haha!

This is what the card look like normally – with lots of layers of die cutting to create a cloudy sky and a veggie patch. I used the lawn fawn simple stitched hillside border dies as well as the simple grassy hillsides dies and puffy cloud border dies. I reached for my distress inks to ink up the wite card. The veggie stamps are from the Lawn Fawn Rooting for You set – this is new to me – but lots of fun! I had to do a little mid-stream googling to get some colour inspiration for the vegetables. LOL.

I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave accents to create little wavy lines in the soil so i could nestle the veggies in there. Fun, huh? I thought the front looked a bit bare without some critters, so I added three cute birdies from the Big Scripty words set. Of course, the magic happens when you pull the fun ribbon at the top!

PEEKABOO! Look a this cutie! I added the sweet bunny from the Mama Elephant page huggers set (coloured lightly with copic markers) – and when you pull the tag at the top (which incidentally is from Studio Katia) then the little bunny pops up out of the grass! SO FUN! Look at his sweet face!

For the tag, I used a new stamp set that I bought on holiday, its from Woodware and it has lots of bold words in it. I liked the way the HELLO stamp looked – although I was torn between HELLO and HUGS. I decided to go with HELLO and then pair this up with the ‘friend’ stamp from the Mama Elephant Sunday Sentiments set.

So there you have it! Thanks for taking a peep! At the moment I am working on some collaboration projects with Chibitronics, so keep an eye out for those coming soon.

CCWM – Hello Summer! Croc in a swimming costume!

on July 19, 2017

Hey there friends!

If you are familiar with my creations then you’ll know that I love to mix and match stamps. I also LOVE to think up new and unusual ways to use my stamps – I guess i like being weird!

Have you been keeping an eye on the Heffy Doodle Instagram account? If so, then you may have seen a video or two on my prep for this week’s CCWM show.

I will be using the Heffy Doodle Happy Snappy Crocs stamps alongside Lawn Fawn’s Life Is Good stamp set to create a summer shaker card. I will be stretching my stamps by using a pen to draw some clothes onto my stamped croc.

I am also stepping away from copic markers this week and instead using some ecoline liquid watercolours.

I hope you can join me for the show – 9pm BST on Friday 22nd July.

Xx Lesley

CCWM – Thank You Teacher Card – LIVE CRAFTING

on July 14, 2017

Sometimes you make a card and you hardly even want to give it away!

I am so in love with this card! I think it is because I have used so many of the fabulous brands that I love – and they all work so beautifully together on this one little A2 sized masterpiece!

Thanks to everyone who joined me for the LIVE Come Craft With Me show over on YouTube where I made this card LIVE on air. If you missed it – don’t worry, you can always watch the replay above!

Let’s take a look at the finished card!

This is a teacher thank you card that I have made using products from Heffy Doodle, Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant, Studio Katia, Simon Says Stamp and Hero Arts! Talk about mixing and matching your stamps!

For my teacher I used the elephant from the Heffy Doodle Elephant of Surprise set, and added a pair of glasses (from the Mama Elephant Page Huggers set) and her skirt is made using the fairy house roof in the Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends set! teehee!

For the blackboard I used the easel from the Mama Elephant Lil Painters stamp set – it was an awesome addition to this fun scene!

I knew I wanted to add these fairies from Lawn Fawn, because I recently got some beautiful sequin and bead mixs from Studio Katia – and they just reminded me of fairies! So I had to add them in there too!

In the Hero Arts set called Everyday Saying, there was this sweet whimsical image that said ‘you’re the best’ – i thought it kinda looked like a child’s handwriting – so i mixed that with some Lawn Fawn Milo’s ABCs to create my sentiment on the front, and then added the ‘Thank you fairy much’ on the inside (from Fairy Friends, Lawn Fawn).

To carry the design through to the inside, I stamped another elephant for the inside of my card. This Ellie is in a different pose, but is from that same Heffy Doodle Elephant of Surprise stamp set. I think she looks so sweet!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and i hope you will join me next week for another YouTube LIVE crafting session – Friday nights at 9pm BST over at https://youtube.com/hungryheffy

Have a great day!

Lesley
