This week at the J&C CRATIONS BLOG we have moved from Heartfelt Creations designs to Bildmalarna! I haven't used these stamps before myself until today but I have to admit they are rather cute! I have used 'Mimosa on the Bench' and you can infact get her in the sale over at the J&C Creations website with 25% off HERE!

To create this card I followed a basic layout and used some old Design Papers by Papermania that I had hidden away for the past couple of years! I have coloured her in using Copic Ciao Markers. For those of you that are interested the metal flower is a bead cap and I have simply stuck it down in the centre of my bow using Ranger Glossy Accents and filling the centre with Liquid Pearls.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

12 Tags of 2013 January ... Take 2!

Good Morning!

After receiving my prize earlier this week and finding I didn't have anything to do on Wednesday afternoon I decided to make another tag using one of the stamps! After doing the Creative Chemistry Course last year and seeing this stamp for the first time then I fell in love with it, so after finally being able to get it it was obviously going to be the first one to get inked up!

I have loosely based this on the January 12 Tags of 2013 Tag so you could say this is my more colourful version!

J&C Creations - Heartfelt Creations Card!

Good Morning!

I just thought I would quickly mention that incase you got confused this week over at the J&C CREATIONS BLOG there are infact two Natalie's on the Design Team ... there is me 'Natalie' and there is also 'Nat' who's work station you saw this week. I just thought I would clear that up incase anybody got confused! lol Back to today's post and I have a card to share using a stamp by the brand we are focusing on this week, Heartfelt Creations.

Today I thought I would share an A5 Card which as I have mentioned before isn't my usual card size. I tend to go for square cards as I can fit more on them but I thought that A5 would suit this particular stamp a lot better! I have used a combination of both Distress Markers and Inks to colour the image, seeing I didn't have any pink Distress Markers .... yet! So if you are like me and do not have a full collection simply press your Ink pad onto a craft sheet and use a water brush to apply to your stamped image!

The sentiment used is from a Hobbyart sentiment set.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

BUNNY ZOES CRAFTS - ANYTHING GOES

WILD ORCHID CRAFTS - COMING UP ROSES

SIMON SAYS STAMP - USE WASHI TAPE

(You can just see the butterfly tape peeking through in the background lol)

INGREDIENTS -

Heartfelt Creations 'Tattered Blossoms Swirls' Stamp Set

Hobbyart 'Birthday Collection' Sentiment Set CS052D 

Magnolia & LOTV Nitwits Papers

Flowers from WOC

Liquid Pearls - Bisque & Ranger Glossy Accents

Butterfly Masking Tape, Flower Charm, Cheesecloth & Ribbon

INKS USED -

Archival Ink - Jet Black

Distress Inks - Spun Sugar & Worn Lipstick

Distress Markers - Scattered Straw & Peeled Paint

 I thought I would leave you with a piccie of my back gate so you can see how thick the snow is where I live ... it's still snowing today too so it's probably going to get a lot thicker! lol

Thanks for popping by, I'l be back at 12 with my next Giveaway!

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Craft Stamper - A Fine Romance!

Good Morning!

Today I thought I would share with you the card that was featured in the February issue of Craft Stamper. I was asked to create a card for the 'Ready, Set, Stamp!' Feature where you make something that can be created within 30 minutes. The theme was 'A Fine Romance' and there was also a colour palette to follow.

To create this card stamp the butterfly image using Distress Ink, sprinkle over clear embossing powder and heat up. Once cooled, spritz the white card stock with water and swipe the Distress Stains over the top. Heat dry and then stamp the script image from the set using the Picket Fence Stain. Using Archival Ink stamp your sentiment in the bottom right corner then finish the card by embellishing with a selection of flowers and dew drops.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

BUNNY ZOES CRAFTS - ANYTHING GOES

WILD ORCHID CRAFTS - COMING UP ROSES

Tim Holtz 'Papillon' Stamp Set

Penny Black Sentiment Stamp

Flowers from WOC & Flower Spray from The Ribbon Girl
