Distressed Postcards

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog post. 

Today I'm going to be using Lisa's postcard background stamp as the main focus of a pretty card which would 

be suitable for so many occasions.

You will need: 

Lisa Horton Postcard background stamp

Lisa Horton Daisy Burst die set

Lisa Horton Trailing Foliage stamp set

Lisa Horton sisal

Lisa Horton Luxury Pearls - Rainbow Collection Cool Skies

Stamperia Roses and Laces paper

Distress Oxide inks (or your preference)

Paperclip and lace (optional)

Start by stamping the postcard twice onto some cream card. Holding the stamped image, tear the card edges 

towards you to reveal the core of the card on all sides. Next, use your inks to colour those edges - front and back 

as you will be curling the edges up.  Use Distress Oxides (old paper and just a touch of vintage photo) to give a

vintage feel to your project. I decided to make the postcard underneath darker with a touch of salty ocean 

Distress Ink. Curl the bottom right corners by rolling them around a pencil.

Next I used a portion of 1 sheet of Stamperia Roses and Laces paper pack. I tore the edges and inked them 

the same as the postcards. 

Mount the backing paper onto a cream card and tape the postcards on top. I added a heart shaped paperclip

(from my stash) too.

Stamp your trailing foliage and colour the leaves with ink. Use a brown pencil/pen to darken the stems and then 

cut out your images. (I stamped 2 of the smaller sections).  Slightly curl the edges of the leaves to add a more 

realistic look and then use 3d foam to attach to the edge of the postcard. Remember to only glue the leaves at 

the top if your flowers are going to sit in that area.

Take a little sisal and attach with glue in the area that your flowers will sit. Die cut your flowers - I usually cut 3 for 

each one to add dimension. Layer them up with 3d foam. I used Lisa's newest collection of hombre pearls to give 

a beautiful finishing touch to the daisies, and added a little paper lace from my stash too.

Hope you've enjoyed making this project with me. Feel free to comment on my post should you wish to do so.

Stay safe and happy crafting!

Flower Power

Hi everyone

Thanks for popping in to the blog today.

Today I am showing you a very simple, quick to make card which (I think) looks really effective.

So what do you need:

Lisa's Daisy Burst Edge Cutz Stamp set

Ink pad colour of your choice

Lisa's Daisy Burst Edge Cutz Die Set

Nested Banners

Wordage Sheets

Luxury Pearls

(or the beautiful new Rainbow Pearls)

My card base is 7 x 7 inches so the three pieces of card need to be 6 x 6, 5 x 5 and 4 x 4.

I chose to use the two largest flowers and then the next size down.

Randomly stamp all around the edge of the cards, using the smaller set of flowers on the top piece of card.  Then go around the edge of each piece of card with a Sharpie Pen.  This is a quick way of making a matted and layered look rather than sticking it to pieces of darker card, which of course you could also do.

I stamped out the three sizes of polka dot flowers and then cut them out using the matching Dies.

Then I cut out the smallest and middle size banners and cut them down to the size I needed.  Layered them up and then added a phrase from the wordage sheets.

Finishing touch was to add a pearl to the middle of the die cut flower and attach it to the nested banner/sentiment.

We also have boards on Pinterest where you can see the gorgeous DT makes along with some from our followers.

So, that's it for now.  See you all soon.

Happy Crafting.

HAPPY EASTER EGG BOX

HAPPY EASTER

Hello everyone I wish you a happy easter. This is my blogpost for this month and i made a little box for easter eggs.

                                    

 At first you can print the template that i placed below at the blog.

When it is printed on a carstock paper or if your printer does not print thick paper just print it on printer paper and glue it on the back of a nice paper of choice.

The next step is to cut it nicely, and only cut the outer lines.

Then you score the lines of the box

Cut the peice out, this should be a window.

Glue the box and wait untill it has dried.

Then glue one side of the box at the end and the other one you will 

leave that open so you can add the eggs or candy,

 what you like and.

close that side with a peice of tape.

The Easter Bunny's

these are made with the lovely Daisy burst dies from Lisa.

Here is How to make them.

At first you cut out the largest Daisy Burst flower.

Then you have to fold the two middle pettals to the back, and then fold them in half back again.

That will be the paws.

Then take a fine tip liner and draw the inner peice of the ears, the little face and paws.

Colour the inner ear and the paws pink. And voila you have a cute little bunny to put on this easter box.

If you want to see how i did it watch the youtube tutorial and there it will be shown how to maken them.

And you can also take the lovely butterflies colour them take one of lisa her phrases or words from 

the word pad or ticker phrase stamps and make it a little candy box for a birthday.

   

And Voila you have a nice box for easter eggs or if you want to use it for candy, you can add a peice of plastic on the inside of the window. 

Just watch the you tube video tutorial.And you can decorate the outside with some extra's like the bunny's or butterflies from Lisa Horton.

Butterflies make me smile.

Morning everyone.

This morning I would like to share with you a card I have made for Lisa's upcoming show on Wednesday 25th March at 10:30.

My card features the fabulous Daisy Burst Stamps and Die set as well as the Butterfly flourish stamps and die set.

In order to make this card I firstly masked off a section so that I could stamp my Daisy Burst stamps in two colour ways, Wilted Violet and Storm Grey Distress Oxide inks and using two sizes of the stamps.  Then once the ink was dry I masked off the part where I had stamped and made a narrow band either side of my stamping and added Wilted Violet and then moved my masking to make a second band to add Storm Grey on the outside of the Wilted Violet.

Next I masked off the whole section of stamping and stamped the Daisy Burst large stamp on either side of the first lot of stamping, again using Storm Grey.

Now, I don't know about you but sometimes when I am stamping I have a tendency to get ink where it shouldn't be or my stamping isn't as good as it could be!  So, what to do?

Well, this is where the butterflies come in.

Now I could tell you that I planned the placement of the sentiment and the butterflies but that would be a big fat fib! Lol

No, the nested flag die has been added where my stamping didn't quite work properly and I added the Smile sentiment which comes with the Butterfly Flourish Stamp set and added three of Lisa's fabulous shimmery pearls in the bottom left corner for a bit of detail.

The other butterflies are also covering little mishaps, even the little teeny weeny one in the top left hand corner.

So, when you have little happy accidents, because us crafters don' make mistakes lol, you can always just add a butterfly!

So there you go then, a quick masked butterly and daisy card.

Remember to tune in next Wednesday 25th March at 10:15 to see not only the stamps and dies I have used here but also some fabulous new goodies too.
