I’m mixing it up a little today!! It is of course time for another Miss You Monday card, but as I had issues with YouTube at the weekend, I wasn’t able to post the video i promised. So i’ve decided to post the video this morning for your enjoyment, and later this evening I’ll post this weeks MYM card. WOW, double the fun today, huh?! ♥
This card sums up my mood at the moment! SUMMERTIME!! I’ve had a fantastic weekend, chillin with friends, and between BBQs and beach visits, I am definitely feeling like Summer has finally arrived [♥]. I even have a little bit of colour in my cheeks – although i must say that the ‘red face / white eyes’ look is making me reconsider wearing sunglasses on those bright, sunny days! I look like a weird panda! LOL
The main inspiration for this project was these cool chipboard shapes from Bisous! I totally love the wide variety of cool shapes, the colour combos and the fact that they are really adhesive. I also love the fact that they are self contained on a sheet, rather than in a bag or box that you need to turf out just to see all the remaining shapes. With them all on this fold out sheet, it is soooo very easy to find the exact ones to use. This set is from the ‘hot’ collection, and have bright, bold colours, and I was eager to couple these with a recently purchased cloud stamp from heroarts. And i just ♥ the result!
Thanks for popping by, and come back later to see the MYM card! Enjoy the video! Leave a comment here.
Hello everyone. I hope you managed to get through April 1st without being fooled too much! I was quite disappointed that I never got a random text from my joker brother, but he claims that he is unable to do or say anything on April first without people assuming that its a joke! HA HA!
Today I have a video to share. I have been feeling inspired by the change in the weather which has beckoned spring time our way. I have also been playing with some new purchases which I am simply adoring – My Unity Stamp Kit of the Month, and the new colours of Ranger’s Distress Inks. (By the way, the best price I can get these in the UK is Country View Crafts – free delivery too!)
So its only natural that this card ‘sprung’ to life (excuse the pun LOL), using the Bundled Sage distress ink to create a fresh, soft, elegant card, complete with a stamped image of dandelions – using a stamp from the Unity February 2010 KOTM. And of course, I stuck down my ribbon using my fav Glue Dots! ♥
There’s a few tips and techniques in this video: I show you how I have used distress ink 4 different ways in one card, and I share with you a secret on what I use to help tie ribbon into beautiful bows.
I hope you enjoy the video, and have a Glorious Good Friday. Don’t forget to leave me a comment here, i do love reading them all.
