Squirrel Friend Heart and Tags Card with Video

Hello,

How are you doing? I hope you are happy to see some fun little squirrels.

I have stamped my clear stamp set called squirrel friend from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps onto Perfect Colouring Paper.

I have used mostly with E ( Earth ) tones together with the YR ( Yellow Red ) for a nice Autumn look. Aren't they cute the squirrels ?I love their expressions..and this set has different cute little elements too. So I have created this little scene.

I have cut the PCP with a tattered lace die I recently got myself. The dotted lines around the edge were just perfect to stitch ( by hand ) with some orange thread. I have also cut an extra heart layer out of design paper and cut it in half in able to create a pocket for the tags. The little tags are dies from Magnolia..

Please have a look at the short speed colouring video below.

Warm fall wishes. I am so thankful for you

Leaves are falling Autumn is calling

A Bright Birthday Card with Flowers and Fairies

Good morning,

How are you doing?

Today I would like to share my bright birthday card with flowers and fairies.

These sweet stamps are from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, the flowers are from the set love bugs, the fairies are from the set fairy folk and the sentiment from party time sentiments.

I have used some wicked black hybrid ink to stamp some of the flowers onto perfect colouring paper.

The first centre flower was coloured with R 81, R 83, R 85, R 89

The right flower was coloured with RV 02, RV 04, RV 09

And later I have also added some R 39 for some more contrast

The left flower was coloured with R 02, R 05, R 17, R 59

The flower buds were coloured with Y 35, Y 38, YR 18

The petals of the  flowers are coloured.

Now I have stamped two fairies with wicked black hybrid ink.

The skin of the fairies was coloured with YR 000, YR 00, E 97, E 99, R 20, R 22

The dress of the right fairy was coloured with BV 00, Y 02, Y 15, Y 18

The hair of the fairy on the right was coloured with V 04, BV 08, BV 29

The dress of the left fairy was coloured with YG 00, YG 03, YG 95

Her necklace with V 04, BV 08

The hair of the left fairy was coloured with Y 35, Y 38, YR 18

The sky was coloured with B 000, B 00, B 12, B 05

On the wings I have added some glossy accents and when it was dry I have also added some little dots with a white gelly roll pen.

A happy birthday sentiment and some other layers of coloured paper to finish the card..

The "pearls" were made with some dreamy drops from Nuvo in the colour fairy wings :).

The slimline dies are from the new Crealies collection..

I hope I have inspired you to try some of these cheery Copic combos. 

Thanks for your visit see you next month!

Love Bugs...

Hi all,

A New Year has started ...

so I thought why don't we start 2020 with a little love?

I have coloured up some of the the brand  new stamps from Kraftin Kimmie,

I love this " Love bugs " set as it has many different images and some fun sentiments too..

To use several images together I have  masked some stamps to create various layers,

just a little reminder  when you are masking stamps  the first stamped image will actually be the one in the front at the end.

So that means that these ladybirds and the big flower (my first stamped images) will be in the front of all the later stamped images in the end.

You will need :

 Perfect Colouring paper, masking tape and stamps...

this is during the masking...

This is during the colouring of the flowers

Below you can watch my video from the start until the finished card,

step by step.

Thanks for watching!

Halloween I Want Candy Mixed Media Lantern

Hello Copic friends,

It is almost Halloween, so I thought it was nice to show a Halloween project.

I have made Halloween cards, tags ...and this mixed media lantern.

While you are reading this post I will be demonstrating Copic colouring mixed with card making and scrapbooking at the Hobbyshow in Rome. 

This is one of my projects I have created especially for the show.

For the first time the Canadian brand Kraftin Kimmie  will be shown in Italy and of course it will be possible to buy them! I have picked the super fun clearstamp set called I Want Candy. 

Great for Halloween projects, but with a little altering this stamp set can be suitable for birthday/toddlers cards too. 

To colour these stamps  I have chosen some nice Halloween colour combos 

that are also available in the CIAO range.

I have stamped the stamps onto Perfect Colouring Paper and have started colouring..

Here we go let's start coloring!

The little "devil" 

The green combo : G 14, G 17, YG 03, YG 23

The purple combo : V 12, V 15, V 17, BV 08

The "witch" 

The gray combo : W 3, W 5, W 7

The pumkins;

The orange combo : YR 15, YR 16, YR 07, E 18

After the colouring I have fuzzy cutted the little devil, witch , bats and pumkins.

This time I have not made a card but a lantern!

I have cut the pieces for the lantern out of some heavy Fabriano Murillo black card stock ( 260g) ,

with some wax I gave the metal look. I have added some acetate windows, but before adding them into to cardstock lantern I have used the cobweb stencil and some decoglass volume paste with a spatula to create the spiderweb pattern. It needs some drying time but once dry it looks fab. Isn't that fun? 

I have glued my Copic coloured images onto the lantern, and on top I have added some ribbons in orange, black and purple!

Boooooh! Trick or Treat??? A nice piece of home decor for Halloween is ready.

Happy Halloween and for those of you living in Italy near Rome

come  to visit me at stand B45 at the Hobbyshow ( 11-13 October 2019 ).

Inside the lantern I have added a candle with a battery. 

Of course not a real candle as it is made  out of paper cardstock.

I have used:

Black cardstock Fabriano Murillo ( 260 g )

Sissix die for the lantern

Ribbons 

Heavy acetate 

Cobweb Stencil Kraftin Kimmie

I Want Candy clear stamp set Kraftin Kimmie
