Hi There,

This cute MDF plaque/ sign can be decorated in so many ways, but for this project I used some Lindy's Magicals, to keep a light look to it and to show the design already on it,

I used the stamps from the Sending Love stamp set, as well as the matching die set,

I love this little cutie mouse, so couldn't resist him peeking out between some plants, leaving some stamped directly on the base and some die cut to give different depths,

after cutting out the taller flowers and using 3D foam to again add depth I highlighted the flower heads with some stencil butter, I then added some tiny bits on the base to look like blossom off the flowers

spreading in the breeze,

The butterfly was coloured with copics and again die cut out, I then scored along the body so the wings lifted up, I finished it off with a sentiment from the Just A little Note stamp set,

I love the look of film strips, I don't know why lol,
So I couldn't resist using this film strip from the vintage ephemera stamp set by Polkadoodles,
I cut it out with my scanncut but you can of course cut it free hand,
I wanted a light look to the base of my card so I used some Lindy's Magicals using the smosshing method, when dry I added some texture with a little heat embossed stamping here and there,
I added some dots/splat design with one of the stamps from the Little Note stamp set,
I fussy cut the flowers by hand, after colouring with my copic markers, then finished it off with a stamped heart and leaves on the filmstrip, then added a sentiment from the strip sentiment stamp set,
I love the soft look this card gives,

How about this,

 I love the look of waxes used to create highlights on MDF and Chipboard pieces, do you?

So for this MDF Album covers, I used some black gesso to add a base layer, covered with acrylic paints, after adhering the chipboards, I dabbed more of the acrylic colours here and there with a stencil brush, this creates added texture too,

then I highlighted along the edges here and there with some Gold coloured wax,

The leaf at the bottom of the album cover was created using two die cut leaves out of 300gsm cardstock, adhered together, then placed on the base before colouring,

The Chipboard Dragonfly is two seperate pieces of the same design I adhered together along the body so the wings could be slightly lifted,

The flower in the centre chipboard frame has a die cut flower which I cut out of a thin tin can, this I adhered down in place, glued a Polkadot in the centre, then coloured over the top and highlighted with wax,

A card made for a friend who's Birthday is this week, I used the gorgeous Mixed flower bloom and grow Peony stamp set, with white heat embossed powder, coloured with my Zig Markers, the background is used with them too,

I love flowers stamps as you can use them in so many ways,

I love the sentiment stamps and matching strips, these cut so cleanly but I simply distressed the edges on mine, to add a little texture, great for added interest without bulk,

Spring is in the air with lovely weather to prove it, lol
So because Easter is also on it's way I created this adorable Dreamy Hares shelf sitter from Nikky Hall - Polkadoodles as an Easter decoration, it would look gorgeous for a new born baby or just spring etc too,
Using Acrylic paints and some sponges to colour the MDF pieces gives some texture and hints of different looks and colours, a little white pan paster highlights the bunnies,
The eggs are from a die set and I used some of the papers from the Daisy Daisy paper pad, the little chicks are also from my stash,

 Hi guys,

I've not posted on here for such a long time, so my question is is any one still seeing this? lol

If you leave me a comment I shall get back to you and check out your stuff,

Liz x

Make today a happy day

 Hi guys, do you make ATC'S, well it's not something I normally do but for a change and to show the range of smaller stamps from the In The Garden range by Cleverprints for some inspiraton I have made three, lol

I used a backround made with spray inks, then when dry cut it down to the sizes of the ATC'S, only slightly smaller so I could have a border around, 

I used the stamp sets, stamping some directly onto the background as in the small Dragonflies, letting the background be the colour,

For the one with the leaves I used the falling flowers stencil on the background, along with one of the stamps sets, making it a focal point, then I used some fussy cut leaves to add some interest and layers,

The 3rd ATC is again using some stamps on the background, with the flower stamp also stamped coloured and then fussy cut out, I have raised the text as on the Dragonfly one on a seperate piece of card, then cut around the words,

these can also be used as elements on larger cards etc, but I love how they make a statement on there own too,

Jane is doing a couple of shows on Create and Craft on Saturday the 14th of May at 8am and 11am, if you would like to see more of the fabulous stamps, dies and stencils,

Blooming Lovely

 Hi guys, I'm back today with a card I created for Cleverprints Ltd,

There are two in this collection, Blooms Framed 1 and Blooms Framed 2,

For this card I used the Bloom Framed 1 and some of the stamps off Bloom Framed 2,

I have a step by step on how I created the card for you,

Here I've trimmed the topper down to just past the ends of the stamp, and cut around the flowers,

The trimmed section is approx a quarter of an inch less then the main card, at the top, bottom and near the spine,

The stamp below is off Blooms 2

The card base is slightly longer and wider then the topper,

My knife was getting blunt, it's best with a new one or one that cuts cleanly, lol

The sammler flowers are off Blooms Framed 1, the text stamps off Blooms Framed 2

This I just glued over the top of the other, it is entirely optional, I just Liked it that way,

I hope you have a go, it's a little more time consuming, but you don't need to cut the main card parts away, they would just show under the die cut instead, so either or is ok,

Happy Crafting!!
