Butterfly on TV

Once Upon A Stamp will be on Hochanda this Saturday
with their new Be Creative product range.
I made this card using some of their new inkpads.
I swiped the pink and purple inkpads across the paper and then buffed with tissue to create the coloured paper.
I then stamped the butterfly over the top in black ink and added sparkle.
I did the same with the blue inkpad to create the next layer.

Merry Christmas Trees


On Saturday Once Upon A Stamp will be on HOCHANDA with their Be Creative product range 
and we made some samples with their inkpads and our stamps.
These are 2 of them using our Merry Christmas Tree

On the top card we coloured the card with glossy card direct with the inkpad and stamped with Black Archival.  The background layer is the tree stamped with the same multi-coloured inkpads.

The second card is the Merry Christmas Tree stamped with 2 of the multi-colour inkpads and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  The snowflake in the background is from our Christmas Twiddly Bits stamp set.

Winter Joy

Is it true that the early arrival of the Bewick swan signfies a harsh winter?
I am not a fan of many aspects of winter, mainly the cold,
but I do love Snowmen and you can't have snowmen without winter!

This card was made by Lesley Crawford and she also designed the stamps.
Lesley is currently working on new designs for release at Stamperama in February.

To order these stamps and any of our other stamps please visit our ebay store here.

All stamps used here were designed by Lesley Crawford

Magical Christmas

For this card I used
Christmas Twiddly Bits
Wavy Christmas Words

Plus stickles and a white pen.
I used the white pen on the stars after I had coloured them.

Everything stamped in black Archival except the bough which is in Distress ink - 
Forest Moss I think!

Rodney Framed

This is one of the cards Vicky made in the shows using
Banners set
Greetings set

The spots in the background are from the Banners set.
Everything has been coloured with Brushables pens.
The inside of the frame was cut out so that Rodney could be peeking through.

Shrink Plastic Gnome

If you saw our 2pm show on Hochanda on Monday you would have seen this card.
The Gnome was stamped onto white shrink plastic with black Stazon
and coloured with Pastel Chalk Pencils.  
You do need to sand the shrink first when colouring with pencils.
Remember when working with shrink plastic not to colour too dark because when you shrink the colours intensify.

The Snowglobe is one of our unmounted stamps stamped in black and then reverse masked so that we could stamp the trees and logs inside from the Small Winter Wonderland set.

HOCHANDA

We are so excited that we are going to be on Hochanda today.
It feels like we are going back 10 years when making TV shows used
to be fun and exciting and about how many demonstrations we could
squeeze into a show.
Although this time we have 3 shows in one day!
So it's going to be a very long day.

Hope you can join us today and that you enjoy the show.
