CARD CANDY SWAPS


Evening crafters

This week the postie brought me my Card Candy swaps from a Demo swap I participated in recently with my Stampin' Up! colleagues at In Love With Stampin'.  These are a great way to showcase different elements from a stamp set to make for card toppers or decorating scrapbook pages.

Mine was posted back in a previous post, together with a tutorial on how to make your own background paper to co-ordinate with your project.

TECHNIQUE - Background 'scrunch'


Morning crafters

I'm wasn't sure what this technique should be called but think 'scrunch' is a good description. 

When my Stampin' Up! orders arrive, they are well packaged in lots of brown packing paper, which I try and recycle for different purposes. I love textured effects and also making the perfect co-ordinating background for projects. 

I've done this technique a long while back with scrunched up ring binder poly pockets into drops of re-inker on a tile. This way is less messy and recycling 'free' paper. 


Screw up ball of paper and dab onto ink pad - here I've used Old Olive ink pad.  Randomly 'stamp' it all over your chosen piece of card. 


Next repeat with your 2nd chosen colour - here I've used Pool Party ink pad. 

Finally repeat with 3rd chosen colour - here I've used Rose Red ink pad. 

You now have a piece of background card to use as you wish. 

Here's are a set of 3 cards I've made using the Card Candy Toppers posted yesterday using this technique as a background. 


I hope you like this effect and have fun experimenting with your own colour combinations. 

Happy craftin'

CARD CANDY SWAP - ILWS


Afternoon crafters

Today I'm back again with a Card Candy Swap with my friends and colleagues over at 'In Love With Stamping'. This is one of my favourite swaps when demonstrators all get together at our Annual European Convention in the Autumn. 


The stamp set I chose was Cupcake Party #134123 (W) #134126 (C) and using Rose Red, Old Olive and Pool Party colours. 


Pop back tomorrow and I will post how I did the background paper.  Meanwhile, I'm watching for the postman to deliver my return swaps :-)

Happy craftin'

BIRTHDAY INVITATIONS

Morning crafters

I am lucky to have two 'unofficial' adopted Mums, who both celebrate their birthdays, just a week apart.   

Val is one of my dear crafting friends but does not have access to a computer.  I was therefore privileged to make invitations to her Open House.  She said after, she was expecting a credit size piece of card with details typed on computer.  This is what she actually got :-



She was over the moon with her 'proper' invitations. I love my new Delicate Designs Embossing Folder #127023 down the left hand side. 


The base cards were made from Perfect Plum cardstock with a cupcake  from Cupcake Party #134123 (W) #134126 (C) stamped in the same colour ink and punched with the co-ordinating Cupcake Punch #121807.

Pop back soon to see the card I made for her 70th birthday. 

Happy craftin'

CUPCAKE SHOP CARD


Morning crafters !

Back again as promised to share another of last weeks card requests.

Tracey asked me to make a handbag card and I remembered making a similar card some time back, with a striped candy floss awning using Word Window punch #119857.  This one uses a new Delicate Designs Embossing Folder #127203.

Cupcakes were stamped from the new Cupcake Party #134123 (W) #134126 (C) stamp set and punched with Cupcake Builder punch #121807.


This card front was then made into an easel card with another handbag popped inside with the greeting.  


Another rapid speed card turnaround.  I've made sure she has my mobike number to text next time !

Happy craftin'
