MANDALA CARD

    Welcome to my blogpost for Lisa Horton Crafts

This time I made a card with the lovely mandala Stencil. Enjoy this tutorial, and at the end of the tutorial I have a video link where you can see it in speed on You Tube how I made this card.

                                                    

At first I made two of the same cards with the mandala stencil. I used the following distress ink's: Picked raspberry and worn lipstick. I used a blending tool to apply the ink.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

                                                  

So now I have two of almost the same cards.

In the next step I divide one of the cards in 2cm peices.

I take the strips alternately, and place them on the card on the same spot as the background stencil so it matches. And stick them on with foam tape or you coud also use 3d glue.

After that I splattered some dylusions ink over the card and I cut out a bold word from the new bold wordage stamps (aren't they wonderful).

This is what it looks like up close.

And I weaved through a peice of net curtains that I had as a leftover , and I made a little bow with it.

And voila here is the finished card.

I have also a video tutorial below here, so you can see how I made this card.

Versatility of Mandala stamps and stencils

Hello, and welcome back to the Lisa Horton Craft blog, Claire Newcombe with you today.

Today I'm sharing with you my projects from each of my FB live events throughout the month of June so, plus the first look at a card scheduled for 23rd June.

Each of the projects in the photo above have been made with the June challenge theme in mind, and will be sent to the winner of June challenge which is 'SETS of THREE'

The theme can be interpreted in any way you choose, whether it be adding three elements on your project, or maybe making three ATC's, a set of three co-ordinating projects....your choice, have some fun with it.

There is another way in which all the projects made are linked, and that is that they all feature the fabulous Mandala collection of stamps and stencils....all of which are now available from Lisa's website

THAT CRAFT PLACE

I wanted to create a selection of very different projects, demonstrating just how versatile the Mandala designs can be and how well they slot into Lisa's whole repertoire of products.

ALL FB LIVES FROM DESIGN MEMBERS CAN BE FOUND ON OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL, FOLLOW THE LINK TO SUBSCRIBE

CRAFTING WITH LISA HORTON YOUTUBE CHANNEL

I have attached the Youtube links for the projects that I have already created, if you would like to make them yourself.

1. Facebook Live 2nd June (YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeED11ESUOo)

I have created a set of three ATC's (artist trading cards) in a very feminine style. The mandala stencils feature in the background as a beautiful backdrop for the A5 Foliage stamps.

You will see on the middle card the mandala pattern has been clear embossed as a design feature. 

----------------------------

2. Facebook live 9th June (YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBKU7Y0AhGE&t=498s)

These cards show the beauty of the Mandala stamps themselves, and the fun you can have colouring them.

But also how they can be used to create subtle backgrounds, when stamped with clear embossing ink onto coloured card for a tone on tone effect.

------------------------------

3. Facebook live 16th June (YouTube https://youtu.be/2XeqCWhlb2Q)

The mandala stencils are layered here in the background with Lisa Hortons Woodgrain background stamp, and Mandala stamps highlighted with mica powder.

It is important to show that all products released into the Lisa Horton range will be able to mix and match with each other.

----------------------

4. Facebook live scheduled for 23rd June

This project uses the mandala stencils in a more familiar way, layered up to show their beauty. I have used the circle stencils with. distress ink to create a background. The  'grungy' details have been added using Lisa's A6 Texture stamps.

I hope you can join me next week when i demo this on a FB live 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope this has made you smile today.

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.

Beautiful Butterflies in the spotlight

Hi there, Claire Newcombe back with you and sharing a project I created for the most recent of Lisa's Create & Craft shows, aired on 3rd April.

I created this peach card using the newly launched butterfly's designed for Lisa by the wonderfully talented Anne Ruffles.

This particular butterfly is from the Wings & Things set, still available in a couple of bundles and still exclusive to C&C (link below)

Create & Craft - Lisa Horton Crafts

https://www.createandcraft.com/gb/papercraft/brand--lisa+horton+crafts

Today on the blog I have created this blue card, in the same style and with a step by step walk through for you. I will also be going live on Facebook on Tuesday 7th April recreating this card in real time too, it will be great if you can join me.

1. Wherever I can i like to work on Lisa's super smooth cardstock, not only is it great for stamping, it is fabulous to blend your inks on to also. To start I applied a small amount of light (tumbled glass) distress oxide through one of the newest stencils (Lisa's A5 stencil, Medieval design)

2. I cut a circle mask (3.5 inches wide) from copy paper, placed it on the project and then replaced the stencil over the top again. I made sure I pattern matched the stencil to the design already on the project. I tend to just hold the masks and stencils in place when I work, but you can of course use your preferred method to make them more secure before applying the ink.

3. As you can see from the photo below I now work a darker shade of ink ((broken china) round the outside edge of the circle and through the stencil.

4.Introduce another shade (iced spruce) to add some shadowing and continue building colour around the outside edge of the circle mask. When you remove the mask and stencil to reveal, you should have a highlighted circle. If you feel you need more depth of colour and shadow effect replace both mask and stencil and continue adding colour.

5. Use a fine liner pen to draw doodled lines around the outside edge of the project and also the highlighted circle. You now have a background ready to frame the main focal image of your project. I have chosen one of the butterflies from the beautiful 'Jewelled Buttlerfly' Collection, amd coloured it with alcohol markers. Ive added some sparkle with the new collection of mermaid tails, and stamped one of Lisa's Ticker tape sentiments.

Butterfly Hugs & Kisses

Hi Im Claire Newcombe (aka Creative Makings) and back today with an effective stamping technique for you.

I have used one of the Butterflies from the EDGEcutz Butterfly Flourish DL stamp set, and one of the beautiful papers that are due to make their debut in Lisa's next Create and Craft Show on 28th February.

1. Start my making some masks of the largest butterfly, by die cutting some post-it notes. Use these and utilise the sticky strip to keep them in place.....however Lisa is due to release her very own reusable masking sheets, so keep an eye open for that because they are brilliant to use.

2. Here you can see I have cut 4 masks, make sure you have plenty.Its very easy to cut more as you need them. The die is from the coordinating EDGEcutz Butterfly Flourish die set

3. Begin by stamping in the centre of the page and work your way out towards the edges, where you will eventually begin stamping off the page. 

Cover each butterfly as you stamp it, so that you can stamp the next butterfly and overlap.

Only remove the sticky mask when you are not stamping next to that image. 

4.  I am stamping onto Lisa's own design papers (coming soon) because I loved the dreamy effect the colours made - it meant that I didn't need to colour the butterflies, only highlight them.

This technique could easily be done on plain stamping card if you wanted to create a page for yourself to sit and colour.

5. Die cut a shape from the centre, mat & layer onto complimentary cardstock and replace back into the centre on 3D foam pads.

Mat the whole sheet onto black card before fixing to the front of a card blank.

 6. I have highlighted the central panel by adding some shading to the butterflies with colour pencils. You could add glitter or even glossy accents.

Ive also die cut one of the detailed butterflies (from the EDGEcutz Butterfly Flourish die set) as a three 3D element along with the sentiment.

I can't wait for you to see the beautiful papers that Lisa has designed. Their quality is second to none, and take ink brilliantly...whether its stamping, shading or blending.

Thanks so much for popping by. 

Remember to share your makes with us over in our friendly crafty Facebook group.
