More Yupo Paper ...

Hi Everybody,

This is another playtime with the Yupo Paper and this time I have used darker inks to create my piece.

I have divided my Yupo in half and used one side with the Spectrum Noir Refills and the other side with the same colours but in the pens.

The video will show you the result and you can tell me what you think ...

I did another piece with pinks and reds and I show you all the cards made from the finished Yupo at the end of the video

I have used embossing folders on most of the cards especially when I add another shape to the top. 

For me it stops the card looking too plain and both of these featured cards show it clearly.

So here is the video for you and I hope you enjoy the process

There are a lot more colours in the Alcohol Inks so take a look around the Craft Stash website to choose your favourites

More tomorrow ...

Papercraft Essentials 164 Christmas Memories

Hi Everybody,

With Papercraft Essentials 164 this month is a really lovely stamp set that I enjoyed making my cards with.

The characters are so big that they make a complete focal point for your designs.

Mix and match them as I have done to create scenes that you like.

And these cards would suit any age group, male or female and I think children would adore these characters on their cards

There is also a little cracker die that you can add to your cards with other dies for you to decorate it with.

The magazine and gift will be in the shops on the 6th September so keep a look out for this wonderful stamp set.

There is also a Christmas Supplement in the pack and I have cards to share with you on pages

6 and 76 using the dies from my own collections.

More tomorrow ...

Little Holiday !!

Hi Everybody,

My eldest daughter has recently move to France and so doesn't get to see her Grand Children as much  as she did. So this weekend my Granddaughter and I are taking the children to visit their Gran.

We are going to the Bordeaux region and I am hoping very much that it is still warm

Griff and Ruby are not coming with me on this occasion but I am sure we will go back to visit again soon and we will get Ruby her very own passport and then she can come with us.

I won't be doing a blog post for a couple of days as I won't get back until very late on Tuesday but I will see you again on Wednesday with the latest magazine freebie video for you,

 I hope that you will come back to visit my pages then
