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!

Love From Lizi Birthday Blog Hop!

on September 2, 2017

Hello everyone,

Today I have the pleasure in being part of a special celebratory video blog hop, celebrating the birthday of Love From Lizi.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LFL!

This September, Lizi is relaunching her website, and soon it will have all the bell and whistle, with a shiny new feel. There will be even more products (including Heffy Doodle!!) and there will be an affiliate program and discounts for kit subscribers and so much more!

Let’s get cracking on this video hop!:-)

First things first – there is a chance to WIN BIG on this one, guys! Lizi has got loads of prizes lined up (visit her blog for the full list) but the GRAND prize is a FULL YEARS subscription to the Love From Lizi monthly card kit!! Talk about the gift that keeps on giving! It is worth over $550 in value, and not only to you get the kit, but you also get to join the Love From Lizi group and get so much inspiration from the whole gang.

All you need to do is LIKE and COMMENT on the YouTube videos that are part of the video hop. Entries are open until 18th September and the winner will be announced in Lizi’s video on 19th September where she showcases the kit for October. and yes – it is open worldwide! YAY!

So let’s take a look at some photos of the card that I have made.

Lizi sent us a gorgeous Sizzix die in the shape of a peacock feather – after all, a peacock feather is her logo, so it was the perfect choice really! I decided that I would reach for my Faber Castell gelatos for today’s project, because I hadn’t used them in so long, and i fancied making something a bit more artsy fartsy.

I cut 5 feathers from watercolour cardstock, and then squiggled the gelato on top. I decided to go for bright colours like yellow, orange and pink – I guess I am not quite ready to let go of summer! 🙂

I used a wet paintbrush to blend the colours together, but i wasn’t being fussy – I went quick and let the artistic freedom flow. I wanted to make each one a bit different, so i trimmed them down to a slightly smaller size and gave them a little variation. I used gold embossing powder and some black washi tape to add some extra touches to my feathers.

I decided to go with the flow and add some splatters to my 5.5″ x 4″ background using black watercolour paint, and then added a strip of black card and strip of gold embossed card on the edge. I also added some black dotty washi tape to the folded notecard.

Before sticking my top panel in place, I stuck down the feathers with a glue gun. I guess i was channelling my inner Wilna Furstenburg. I kinda liked being free and easy and going with the flow.

I stuck on a piece of folded vellum and a piece of twin, before adhering the top panel to my notecard with some foam tape. To finish the card, I added a die cut HELLO from Honey Bee Stamps, cut from black craft foam, and a few black pearl embellishments.

All done!

Don’t forget to check out the next person on the list, and leave a like and a comment on the YouTube video for each project in the video blog hop.

Good Luck!

Congrats – A Kitty Wedding Card – AND 5k Giveaway Winner Announcement!!

on September 18, 2016

HELLO and welcome to another HungryHeffyCrafts project – and today I have a card with cute kitties and lots of texture!

Last week I shared a card using the Page Huggers stamps from Mama Elephant, and well, I am STILL very much in love with them! They totally rock my world! I decided to use the cute kitty stamp to create a congratulatory wedding card for my colleague Arwen, who incidently is the owner of an equally cute kitty, Bruno!

It’s funny how the same stamp can look completely different when coloured in a different way – a little copic marker magic sure does go a long way!

I used the Lawn Fawn small stitched rectangle dies as well as the Mama Elephant All prettied Up die to create the main part of the card, and then used some Spellbinders oval dies to create a dimensional aperture. I love how this frames our happy couple! The congrats stamp from the Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words set was the perfect sentiment for this card!

I wanted the colour scheme to be understated, so kept to a light grey fog colour, but used texture to create more interest on the card. I used a Simon Says Stamp stencil with some white embossing paste to add the hearts, some tulle to create a cute veil for the blushing bride, and some Honey Bee Stamps diamonds for a touch of sparkle!

Why not watch the video tutorial so you can see exactly how I made the card!?

Giveaway Announcement

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for… the winner of the celebratory HHC giveaway is….

Congratulations CARRIE! I will be contacting you so you can claim your prize!

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway this week, and for sharing it with your friends! Also, a MASSIVE thank you for all the lovely, sweet comments – I read them all and it made my wee heart go all a-flutter! 🙂 You guys are the best!

…I am already looking forward to the next milestone so we can have another giveaway celebration! WOOHOO!
