Exciting News
Craft Consortium will be a new product line on Hobbymaker and have their first show tomorrow (14th) at 2pm and 6pm. It's their worldwide launch and Helen Kirkham Crafts will be showcasing and demoing their range of papers, stamps, and embellishments including their newest collection 'Little Ones' by Helz Cuppleditch. You can watch Hobby Maker TV, live on Freeview channel 73, Sky channel 670, or Virgin Media 754. You can also watch them via their website, mobile app, or YouTube.
Soo, today I'm showcasing the brand new 'Little Ones' collection which includes 6" x 6" & 12" x 12" paper pad, co-ordinating A4 paper pad, 2 x sets of photopolymer stamps and embellishments etc.
For my card I've used the really cute monkey stamp along with one of the papers, and used distress re-inkers to colour with. (see links below)
This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. In the USA, it will be distributed by Notions Marketing. You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches.
This Is What I Did
I trimmed down a piece of patterned paper from the 'Little Ones' paper pad to fit the front of a 6" x 6" white card blank. Next I stamped the monkey onto watercolour card with black ink, and coloured it with distress re-inks. The scene was stamped again onto masking paper and cut out, this was placed over the top of the image, and blue distress ink was applied over the top.
When the scene was dry it was die cut into a square and mounted onto a blue postage stamp frame. The frame was die cut 3 times from white card and once from blue paper, and glued together. Funky foam was added to the back to give dimension and mounted onto the front of the card front. Glitter was added to some of the building blocks. To finish the card, I added a die cut frame and a no. 2 to the top of the card, along with a few clear dew drops.
