Heffy Doodle Blog Hop – Naughty or Nice Spinner

on November 4, 2017

Woo Hoo! It’s a HEFFY DOODLE blog hop day! YAY! If you are following along on the hop, you will have arrived from the awesomely talented Tallie .

But to hippity-hop right back to the start of the hop, you will want to make your way back to the HEFFY DOODLE BLOG. Especially if you want to be in with a chance to win! More details on that in a bit! First… my project!

For today’s project I have made a fun spinner card for my daughter Piper. In the Elfish Antics stamp set, there is a fun little machine to test whether you have been naughty or nice – just like the movie Arthur Christmas! I thought it would be cool to incorporate a spinner into this machine, so it changed colour! I also added a SPIN ME sentiment from the Heffy Doodle Interactively Yours stamp set – this set is perfect for interactive card makers.

In the video I also show you how I used some strips of acetate to create my own mask effect. I really wanted to have a pin stripe look to the background, but didn’t have the perfect stencil in my stash – but I wasn’t going to let that stop me! Once I had the acetate strips in place, I sprayed the project with perfect pearls mixed in water to give a pretty pearlescent sheen to my background.

For the sentiment, I used some of the words from the Elfing Christmas Words stamp set, and stamped this in two different colours for a more whimsical feel. I also added my daughter’s name using the Jet Alphabetters stamp set. They are great for making your own words or adding names to your projects.

Now over to the fun bit… you can be in with a chance to win some Heffy Doodle goodies!

CCWM – You’re a hoot, Wishing we lived closer & Thank you

on October 8, 2017

Thank you to everyone who joined me for Friday night’s CCWM show. I swear I am getting quicker! Three cards in about 2.5hours – well that’s quicker than normal!

If you are new here, let me tell you about Come Craft With Me. Every Friday, I (virtually) open the doors of my craft room, and invite you all to watch onward as I get crafty. It’s a LIVE stream, hosted on my YouTube channel, where I interact with viewers, create a few projects and have a good old giggle. Please subscribe to my YouTube and turn on your notifications so you never miss a show.

Let’s take a look at what I made! Not one, not two but THREE cards! First off, I was playing with my Picket Fence distress ink on kraft cardstock to make this fun background.

It’s a simple design, but I love how it turned out. The owl is from MFTstamps Forest Friends and the tree is from Mama Elephant Sunday Strolls stamp set. I also stamped the owl onto white card and coloured him in with some light coloured copic markers. The branch is from an older Hero Arts set – I think it was the perfect addition.

I grabbed my googly eyes – always a source of contention in my experience – but pretty much all the viewers seemed on board with adding a little whimsy to this cute critter. BUT big eyes, or little eyes!? That was the question. In the end, I outsourced my decision making to a viewer – and Nancy picked the larger eyes – Good choice, crafty friend!

Next up I wanted to use the FREE DIGITAL STAMP that Heffy Doodle was offering on their blog to celebrate World Card Making Day. We had some issues here, as I first tried to use my zig clean color real brush markers, but I am still such a noob with these – I had to get Craig to print another version for me – but it all worked out in the end!

I added a little ink blending to this card – spun sugar, picked raspberry & festive berries – and then used the Wishing and Sending stamp set from SSS. The perfect little greeting for this card!

By the way, if you make a project with the Heffy Doodle FREE DIGI STAMP, remember to use the tag HEFFYDOODLEWCMD when you share your projects – you would win a stamp and die set! More details over on the Heffy Doodle blog.

For my third card, i wanted to get smoochy! INK SMOOCHING of course! I was inspired by the letter box in the digi stamp to use these envelope stamps to create a resist background on this card. I used a paper smooches thanks die with some pink craft foam for a nice textured greeting.

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to join us next Friday if you are free. Simply pop over to https://youtube.com/hungryheffy and subscribe to my channel – you may need to edit your notifications settings if you want to get a pop up when the show goes live!

Happy crafting my friends!
