Speedy Recovery – A Get Well Soon Card For Uncle Bob {video}

on May 3, 2016

Hello there crafty friends!

It was a bank holiday weekend with us this weekend, and unfortunately we had a poorly pickle, so i never got to post a video on Sunday as i had originally planned. But better late than never, huh?!

This is a Get Well Soon card for my Uncle Robin, who had some much awaited surgery last week. We visited him when Piper and I were in Ireland last month, and we all sat on his bed and looked thorough his sketchbooks and art stash – Piper even drew a picture inside a sketchbook and used his polychromos pencils to colour it in – (I’m not jealous!!! :-S ok, maybe i am!!)

I didn’t really want to put Get Well Soon on the card, but thought that it would look better with a greeting saying “wishing you a speedy recovery”. Of course, i didn’t have any perfect stamps with exactly that greeting, but in the video you can see how i made it work with the supplies that i do have! 🙂

The card also features some die cutting combos! Once again, i knew what i wanted to do, so i played around with what i already have in order to make it work! I think it turned out pretty cute!

Enjoy the Video!

More Than Cats Love Boxes {video}

on April 24, 2016

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you have had a crafty week!
I have a card to share which features some delicious ink smooching!! This technique is so much fun, and i love the way it looks- not sure why i don’t do it more often!

I have teamed up my distress ink smooching with a Simon Says Stamp kitty stamp from the You Are Pawesome set, and Lawn Fawn Milo’s ABCs, and an ‘i love you’ stamp from Technique Tuesday.

I also used the Mama Elephant All Prettied Up die set to create the box and scalloped panel.

Here’s the video, have fun! and please hit that thumbs up button if you like it! YEAY!! 🙂

Have a great weeeeeeeekkkk!

Personalising Store Bought Cakes With A Little Crafting {video}

on April 22, 2016

Hey everyone… a bonus video to share with you today. And, for a change, it isn’t a card! 🙂

Last year we ordered a fancy schmancy birthday cake for Piper’s birthday, and although it was pretty and delicious, it was rather pricey. This year, because i was doing waaaaaayy more planning for the party, i decided to simply pick up a store bought cake. After all, there was one that perfectly matched the colour scheme of the party 🙂

but i wanted to spice it up a bit, so i got my crafty hat on and decided to make a personalised cake topper and a custom decorated birthday candle.

Both these items were a huge hit at the party, and the great thing is that they weren’t really difficult to make either! 🙂

For the candle, it was all about glitter glue and buttons! YUMMY!

I even managed to pass the candle on to my friend Alexia for her daughter’s birthday cake the following week – why not, huh?!

And for the cake topper, i used some paper straws mixed with some crochet twine, and stamped some cute images from the SimonSaysStamp Mini Party Animals stamp set, coloured with copics.

Here’s a video tutorial, walking you through how i made these fun items, and below are a few more piccys of the projects and also some from the party.

A huge thank you to my friend Elizabeth for bringing her candle and taking some photos on the big day of the party. I was far to busy scurrying around with a microphone running party games, and making sure that DJ Craig was working hard, and interacting with parents and being chased by little munchkins! It was a great day, and i am very thankful that i have some photos of the occasion. Thanks Elizabeth! xx

Enjoy the video! Still another video this weekend as usual 🙂
