My Mum's Craft Shop Design Team - June Project #2

Hi there everyone 💜

I'm here today to share my card for 'My Mum's Craft Shop' (MMCS) Design Team with you. As the shop will be closed for a few months there won't be anymore for a little while from MMCS. However I will still be making my projects using various products and techniques so I will share them as and when I've completed them. So I hope you keep visiting my blog. 😄

For my card today I've created a CAS card using dies and a stencil all from My Favorite Things, plus a few sequins.  Hope you like it.

 

Here's What I Did
First I cut down a piece of Kraft card 4¾" x 4¾" and added colour using a stencil and distressing ink. When dry the stencilled topper was matted onto some gold mirror card 5" x 5" and added to the 5¼" x 5¼" card base using foam tape. The word 'Friend was die cut from the same gold mirror card as the mat and glued in place on top of a strip of white parchment on the card front.

To completed the card, sequins were die cut from gold mirror card and added along with tiny silver and white sequins around the sentiment.

Here's What I Used
Stencil: My Favourite Thing 'Split Diagonal'
Dies: Die-namics My Favourite Thing 'Friends' and My Favourite Things 'Sequins'

Hi there everyone 💜

I'm here to share my June 'My Mum's Craft Shop' (MMCS) Design Team card with you.

Hope you like it.

 

Here's What I Did
I used a 5" x 5" card blank and covered the front with black card. First I stamped my images onto Neenah card, coloured them with Copic pens and cut them out.

I die cut a circle from white card and sponged different distressing inks on top until I achieved the look I wanted, when dry I die cut a shooting star at the top and attached it to a black circle mat.  The rabbit, stamped sentiment and lots of tiny silver stars and dots were glued onto the coloured circle topper.

The completed topper was adhered to a die cut fancy circle and attached to the card front. To finish off the little teddy bear was glued to the circle next to the rabbit.

My Mum's Craft Shop Design Team - May Project #2

Hi again everybody 💜

Yes, I'm here as promised with another of my My Mum's Craft Shop (MMCS) Design Team cards for you.  To create my CAS I simply used Brushos and the cute little dies from My Favorite Thing (MFT) called 'Birdhouses'.  When I looked at the dies I just felt that they needed to be made into silhouettes ---  so that's exactly what I did. I have to admit to loving the little bird sat on top of the houses - it's so sweet. There were 2 birds on my card but one seems to have flown away. Lol  I used Brushos for the background. Hope you like it.

 

Here's What I Did
The 6" x 4½" card base was cut to size to create a top folding card, then a piece of paper was glued to the front.  The background was created using Brushos, water and watercolour card, which was then die cut and added to a black die cut mat. The topper was glued flat to the card front.

The birdhouses were die cut from black card and white glitter card. The legs of the bird houses were cut from black card instead of the die cut ones to make them appear taller. The sentiment were die cut from white card and stamped in black ink. Everything was added to the card front using foam tape and glue. To complete the card I added a few sparkly sequins.

Here's What I Used
Stamps:  My Favorite Thing (MFT) 'Birdhouses' and  'Label Maker Sentimental'
Paper & Cardstock (CS): Black Card, Watercolour Card, White Card, MFT 'Dot's & Stripes Confection' Paper Pad

Other: Brushos, Tonic Die Set, Archival Ink, Foam Tape,

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Up In The Air

Morning my lovelies 💜

I'm here with another My Mum's Craft Shop (MMCS) Design Team card for you. I've chosen one of the new stamp releases from My Favorite Thing (MFT). The stamp set is called   'Up In The Air', and it contains lots of very cute animals and some lovely sentiments - I will definitely be using this set again for more projects.

For my CAS card I used Zig Color pens and Brushos in the background (my first time using them). You might need your sunglasses on for this one. Lol...I hope you like it!

 

A little close up for you

Here's What I Did
First I matted a 5" x 5" card blank with a piece of pattern paper. Next I die cut a piece of watercolour into an oval, and stamped the puppy head onto it. The puppy was stamped again onto the sticky end of a post-it note, and cut out to create a mask. The mask was used to cover the puppy's head and the hot air balloon was stamped over the top (this places the balloon behind the puppy). Once the ink was dry I painted the whole image with a masking fluid and left to dry. The sentiment was stamped beneath the balloon.

 

Using a couple of different brusho colours I lightly sprinkled them over the oval and spritzed it with water to make the colours move - I added more brusho where required. I took off any excess water using a piece of rolled up kitchen roll, and left it to dry out. The puppy and hot air balloon were coloured using watercolour pens; the yellow stripe on the balloon was pulled out using a glitter pen instead of water, and actual glitter was added to the white stripes.

 

The completed image was glued to a white die cut oval and attached to the card front using foam tape. To finish off I added a few pearls at the top and bottom of the card.

Here's What I Used
Stamps: My Favourite Thing  'Up In The Air'
Paper Pad: My Favourite Things 'Dots & Stripes Confection'
 

If you wish to purchase any of the above items from My Mum's Craft Shop and an item is out of stock it's because it's been very popular, so simply email/ring the shop to make an order. Thank you.

Other: Zig Color Pens (Pale Green, Light Green, Deep Green, Yellow, Beige, Flesh, Brown) White CS, Neenah CS, 5" x 5" Card Blank, Glitter, Tonic Oval Die Set, Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Pen, Foam Tape, Pearls, Pebeo Masking Fluid, Brushos (Lemon, Turquoise, Emerald Green), Post-it Note, Spritzer

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Chatty Squidgy

Hi there everyone 💜

Today I'm here with another My Mum's Craft Shop (MMCS) Design Team card for you. I've chosen one of the stamps from the gorgeous Stamping Bella Squidgy range. I just think that these little characters so sooo sweet. I've been wanting to colour up one of these little cuties for ages, but just haven't had the opportunity until now...so for my card I chose 'Chatty Squidgy.' and coloured her with Copics. To complete my card I used a few dies and a stencil from My Favorite Things (MFT).  Hope you like it.

A Little Close Up For You

Here's What I Did
First I stamped my image onto Neenah card and die cut it into a square and then cut another square from lilac card. The image was also stamped again onto a post-it note and cut out, this was then placed over the image to protect it. Using a stencil, pale pink ink was gently sponged through it making sure not to make it too dark. The stencil was carefully removed and the image was coloured using alcohol markers.

The completed image was added to the lilac mat, then attached to the card font using foam tape. Next the words 'Hi' and 'There' were die cut from  Neenah card stock and funky foam.  Before removing the die cut words from the Neenah card they were coloured using 2 different coloured marker pens (pink & lilac) - the top and bottom were coloured and blended to create an ombre effect. The finished words were glue to the funky foam and glitter was added to them - these were then added to the card front.

To finish off I added 3 lilac pearls to the bottom of the card, and a sprinkling of some sequin waste.

Here's What I Used
Stamps: Stamping Bella 'Chatty Squidgy'
Stencil: My Favourite Thing 'Radiating Rays'
Dies: My Favourite Thing 'Blueprints #8, My Favourite Things 'Hello There'

My Mum's Craft Shop - Guest Designer Project #2

Hi everyone ---

I'm here this morning with another Guest Designer card for My Mum's Craft Shop (MMCS). For my 2nd card I've chosen one of the new releases stamps from My Favorite Things (MFT), this little cute is called Pure Innocent 'Showering You With Love' and she's available from Kitty's shop. Hope you like it....thanks for looking 💖 (Blogger is having a little fun this morning, so sorry if my text and pics are a bit funny). x

 

 

 

 

Here's What I Did
First I die cut a square (mainly because I'm rubbish at cutting squares lol), then using my Misti I stamped the whole using waterproof ink. Next I painted over the little girl, umbrella and ducks with masking fluid (as an alternative you could create a paper masks).

When the fluid was dry I added distressing inks over the background starting off with my lightest colour finishing off with black. Using a brush I splattered water all over the square, left it for a minute and sponged off the excess with a paper towel. When the background was dry I gently rubbed off the masking fluid and coloured the image in with watercolour pens. I splattered clear glitter pen everywhere including the characters to give a rain effect.

The sentiment was stamped in the top right corner and embossed with white power. Then to finish off the whole scene was added to a black 5" x 5" card blank, and white dots were added to the umbrella and her wellies.

Here's What I Used
Stamps: My Favorite Things (MFT) Pure Innocent 'Showering You With Love'
Paper & Cardstock (CS): Black Card, Crafter's Companion Watercolour Card, Green Glitter Card

My Mum's Craft Shop Guest Designer Spot

Hello and good morning everyone ---

I'm here this morning feeling very excited, as I was asked to guest designer for My Mum's Craft Shop (MMCS) by Kitty, so of course I said yes. Woo hoo!

For my 1st MMCS post I immediately chose a stamp from the Dreamerland Crafts range as they're so cute...I love the retro feel of them. The one I finally plumbed for is called 'Surrounded By Love, I adore the little puppies they're just so sweet. I used Spectrum Noir pens and Illustrator pens to colour with, some Echo Park patterned paper and a few MFT dies and stamps.  Thanks for looking 💖

 

Here's What I Did
I covered a 5" x 5" scalloped card blank with pretty patterned paper, leaving a slim border. Next I cut down a piece of strong white card and die cut a arch shaped in the centre and adding a stamped sentiment just below it.

Using the left over die cut arch clouds were added using a die cut cloud template and blue distressing ink. fancy circle from white card and 2 pieces of funky foam, these were all glued together to create a frame.

The image was stamped onto colouring card then coloured with alcohol pens. When the image was completed the top section was cut away, but making sure that a generous section was left on the bottom under the girl. The image was stamped again onto the same patterned paper I used previously, then pen was added to the dress and bow areas to create shade, then cut out. The two cut out pieces were paper pieced onto the coloured image and the whole image strip was glued behind the arched window.

The cloud arch was glued flat onto the card blank and the aperture panel containing the image was also added to the card front using foam tape. To complete the card, stamped and die cut paw prints were added along with a few enamel dots.

Here's What I Used

Stamps: Dreamerland Crafts 'Surrounded By Love', MFT 'BB You Have My Heart'
