My Fathers Day ATC

Well , how bad am I ? I said I'd post this the next day , that was 19 days ago ! Just been sooo busy. Anywho it's here now. I hope you can see it clearly, I wanted to do a lil momento of me and my Da so I had some pics of me and me and him photo copied. ( You need a printer that uses a separate toner , I discovered this after a lot of failed attempts ! So I had mine done at the printers. )

So I distressed my ATC with Tim Holtz inks and a blending tool and stamped some clock images I had on there to .

Then the fun part, I transferred the photo copy image to my ATC by blotting over the image with the ATC behind using acetone ( you do need to protect your surfaces when you do this ) the acetone reacts with the toner and the ink is released onto your card below ! WOW ! It's a fabby technique particularly if you want a aged effect .The piece of card in the bottom left is actually Tim Holtz Grunge paper and looks so old now was perfect for this effect .

Any way this technique has been done many times by crafters more experienced than me and I know if you google "image transfers with acetone" you will get video demos and a much more detailed explanation than mine !

I'm gonna sign off now as it's way past my bed time , have a great week !

1970's Green Lady

Hi Guys,

This card has no Cricut involved at all but thought I'd share anyway, I was inspired by the colours in this project which I found in this months Craft Stamper Magazine here in the UK. The designer was  Liesbeth Fiddler & I think  the colour combination is stunning ! I used different stamps and Lisbeth used gesso over the background & stamping but I didn't have any so I used Glossy Accents and really like the effect . There is stamping under and over the glossy Accents which seems to give a real depth to the images . This girl looks to me like she's just steped out of the 1970's !

Enjoy your week

My half hour challenge !

Recipe :

 Accent Essentials Leaf   

 Dawn Bibby Owl stamp 

Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders 

Two posts in as many days, thats what a holiday does for me ! Today my lil Sis and I didn't have a lot of time so we did a card in half an hour challenge . Which had to include some swirls & flourishes and some distress embossing. Here is mine  hope you like !

"SISTERS" Challenge

As it's bank holiday me and my lil sis thought we'd have a challenge today. She chose a product we had to use which was Adirondak  Dabbers and I chose the theme "SISTERS ". Good fun and just because we live miles apart doesn't mean we can't craft togther ! So this is mine it's an ATC .

My Bunny Decorations

I've become a little obsessed with bunnies this Easter ! 

They are all from Gypsy Wanderings , Iv'e used the bunnies that look like book ends to decorate the cabinets in my nail salon, the little green bag was to hold some chocolate bunnies for a friends little boy and I made the other bunnies to suspend in my salon window. I flipped the image on my Gypsy and then pasted them together and suspended them on fishing wire ( which I'm sure is called something else these days ) .

 My last bunnies were on sweetie bags I made for friends from work . 

One bunny design used in many ways . Have a lovely Easter!

My Flower Pot

This was one of my My Pink Stamper Pink Designer submissions which I can now show you . No luck this time but was my first try out which was fun. I just thought this pot was a little plain for my beautiful Hydrangea !

So a did a little decorating using Accent Essentials Cart. 

I just use my pokey tool to curl the edge of the flowers to make them sit with a little height on my project .

Well I hope you like this , I've got another post for tomorrow. Have a great Easter !

Little Sister Card

This is was a card for a friend and I wanted to try out the weld feature a little more on my Gypsy, I used Gypsy Font & Gypsy wanderings to make this card. I don't think you can see very well in my pic but the lettering is done with card from DCWV Glitter cardstock stack .

Mothers Day Card

I haven't added this to a card yet but wanted to share anyway ! The stamp is from Elusive Images I stamped it with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Ink I used Tims Distress Embossing Powders Milled Lavender & Tattered Rose . Then a lil Distress Stickles Rock candy over the flower head. I inked around edge of the image using Antique Linen Ink pad and my blending tool & Adirondak Wild Plum & my blending tool.
I love these products!  Here it is the finished card, It's gonna be my Mam's Mothers Day Card !

Two lil cards using Smirk papers from Trimcraft no Cricut here just good old fashioned action with scissors & a paper trimmer ! I used Robyn from My Pink Stampers  cheater method for tying my ribbon on the left card.

Here is one of my Valentine cards I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the heart & arrow from Gypsy Wanderings . With a lil bit of Stickles
