Ice Cream

 I'm back today as promised with another peek of one of my projects for the Ice cream collection by Emma Blake for Cleverprints Ltd, for The Craft Store show which is on later today at 6pm,

Here I thought I'd show you how you can use the gorgeous Ice cream stamp set, on a DL sized card,

I also used some of the fantastic papers, along with some of the fabulous dies from the Ice Cream set

I finished off my card with one of the adorable ice cream embellishments, as before all images are coloured with my distress re-inkers,

Happy Crafting!!

Cake anyone? yum yum

 As I said on my post yesterday I'm back with another sample for the Ice cream collection by Emma Blake for Cleverprints Ltd,

I thought I'd show you this time a pop up box using the awesome cake stamps,

I decided to add a see through window to the box so you can see more of the tempting cakes, with a few more on the top, the stamp sets used on this are Cake? and all things nice,

I also used a So Sweet stencil which is part of the collection too, all the images are again coloured with my distress re-inkers and I used distress oxides through the stencil,

Back with more tomorrow,

Happy Crafting!!

The Witches Lair

 Beware of the woods on Halloween eve, 

as the witches are maybe working their magic around there, lol

Yep I've created another halloween scene, using again the fabulous MDF products from

Calico Craft parts,

this time I used a metal clock as the base then decorated it with the mdf pieces,

After painting the clock with some black Gesso, I stamped an image of the moon onto some watercolour card first to create the scene, then sprayed a little colour on the inside back,

Then the fun began with adding the mdf pieces,

I first adhered the trees in place, when set I then added some moss, I added the bones at a later stage that I added onto the top of the moss,

I adhered some cheesecloth which I had first coloured with some black gesso onto the top left hand side of the clock, then to add some interest to the scene I used one of the floral pieces,

On the right hand side I took one of the Sider webs and added some glue strings as a little extra for the Spider creating his web, which if you look closely is on the web as well,

In the middle I attached some of the bats onto a piece of acetate, these then appear to move if  you move the clock,

At the bottom left I added some of the awesome Toadstools, can you spot the skull peeking out from behind, lol

I then finished off the bottom right with this fabulous Pumkin,

Calico craft parts:

Pumpkin and vines

Spider web

Flying Bat Colony

Rose Bramble - Fauna Flourish style 23

Spider  style 6

Bones - sheet of Halloween mini wood shapes

Fungi - mdf wood shape style 13

Happy Crafting!!

Fright Night - Guest DT for Decoupage Queen

 Hi guys, I'm back with another halloween themed project, this time as guest dt for

Decoupage Queen,

I used some of their awesome Rice Papers and 12" x 12" scrapbooking papers from the Halloween collection, they are really good quality and I loved working with them,

The front of my Z fold album is created with one of the Rice papers, I have a video on my youtube channel on how I made this album which I will list below,

I created a spooky scene with some chipboard, cogs, chain and a skull from my stash, which I had previously sprayed to match in with the colours of the Rice Paper,

The first inside page has a bottom pocket to be able to take a removable tag, this is made using one of the scrapbook papers, I adhered it onto a piece of black cardstock, this can then have a photo or some writing placed on it if wanted,

The next page has one of the fabulous papers, but this time I added a piece of card on which I have stamped a halloween themed scene, then I added some slots in the corners for Photos to be added,

Another of the pages has again one of the fabulous papers on, then I created a three sectioned booklet which again opens out, but this time has some more of the fantastic paper images on,

The last page of the Z fold section has a side pocket,

I placed this on the left hand side so you could see the Raven on the paper,

I again created a removable tag, which can also be written on the reverse if wanted,

This stunning paper forms the inside cover section of the base part of my Z fold Album,

As underneath the cover I just showed you, is another scene created with another of the Rice papers but this time added inside a box I created to go inside the  finished Album, I then created a small book to go inside the box with more of the papers, a couple of Toadstools, a plastic spider and a glass bottle with some plastic bones, Moss and a Spider web cut from a die, all from my stash,

I have really enjoyed creating this Halloween themed Album and hope I may have inspired you to have a go yourself,

Here is the link to my Video, it's quite detailed so perhaps have a brew with you, lol
