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.

Quick Hello

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

Kendra here today to share a card with you!

This card features the lovely Medieval Stencil!!  I just LOVE Lisa and Danny's amazing stencils!!

I was so excited to try out the Deco Foil Transfer Gel!   I used the gel over the Medieval Stencil, let it dry for awhile.  Then placed the lovely purple foil on top, ran it through my die-cutting machine to apply pressure and then gently peeled away the transfer sheet!  What a beautiful design!!  I love how this card turned out!!  The shimmer/shine is so pretty!!

I also added some lovely die cut flowers from the Four Point Blooms Die set!  I added some lovely Mermaid Tails to the center of each of the flowers!!  Before I added the flowers to my card I placed some Green Sisal and then added my flowers above it!!

The 'A Quick Hello' sentiment is from the Ticker Phrases stamp set!

Have a lovely day!  

Colourful Art Journal

Hey everyone!

Today, I have for you a bright and colourful art journal.

Not my usual thing - either art journals or bright colours - but it kind of just happened and I think the outcome is pretty cool.

Here's what I did:

Start by gluing on some of the sentiments and various tissue papers for the first layer on the background.

Once I was happy with the 'stickers', I added some paint and wiped out excess through my stencils 

(here, I used Groovy and Mosaic).

When the stencilled paint dried, I added little splodges of paint all over and smeared them out with my fingers - I kept adding and drying until I was happy with the result.

Next, I used the Creative Words stencil to add black pen wording over the colourful background.

The final step was to lighten up the page with white spots using white chalk paint and Bubblewrap stencil. I also added a few more phrases from the Wordage Sheets and outlines a quick frame with black pen.

Here are some close-ups of the page:

See you next time!

MDF Tag Canvas

Hello everyone.

Sharing a canvas made with MDF tags and a background using beautiful stamps and stencils.

For the canvas I used

Lisa Horton crafts MDF tags and panel,

Majestic and Jewelled butterflies stamps,

Trailing foliage Ivy stamp set,

Daisy Burst stamp,

Nested banners dies,

Bubble wrap, Script stencils,

Mica powders,

Sisal,

Gold embossing powder,

White card,

White Gesso paint,

Inks and glue gun.

I used the panel at the back of tags with hot glue gun.

 Added white gesso paint to the edges of tags as you can see on the photo.

I blended dye inks with stencils randomly to the white card, used purple and green colour inks.

I drawn around the canvas with pencil on the back of blended card, also I marked little dots where the little holes of the tags are. 

Cut around the card then I draw lines of the edge around 0,4 cm to make slightly smaller then the canvas itself.

I used my punch holes and punched holes from the back of the card where I marked little dots.

As you can see the photo above, the card shape is slightly smaller the the canvas.

I did added some splatter by mixing some ink with water on acetate and adding to the card. Used distress tool for the edges and tore some edges little bit and blended some ink around the edges.

I stamped some daisies and ivy with inks, some daisies I stamped with Versa mark sticky ink and added pink mica powder to the stamped flowers. Then glued the patterned card with tacky glue to mdf tag canvas.

Stamped the butterflies and Ivy coloured them with distress inks using a bit of water. Fussy cut out the butterflies and ivy. I mixed little bit of pink mica powder with water and coloured the butterflies on top of red colour. Stamped the sentiment with Versa mark sticky ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I layered some ivy and butterflies into canvas before gluing them as you can see the photo above.

Self-Propelled Flowers

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

Kendra here today to share a card with you!

I am just so beyond excited to share this card....I love bright colors!!  Yellow is my absolute favorite!  But I also love butterflies!!  As well as flowers! This all of me put into a card:

I am so excited with how it turned out!!

I used the lovely Nested Flags Dies to create my card base along with a few of the layers:

All of Lisa's new butterfly stamps are absolutely amazing!!  The detail is beyond gorgeous!!  They remind me of images in adult coloring books and I love sitting down once in awhile and coloring in them!  This butterfly is the first one that caught my attention!!  It is from the Majestic Butterflies stamp set!!  The 'Butterflies are self-propelled flowers - R. H. Heinlein' sentiment also really caught my attention!  The sentiment is part of the Wings and Things stamp set!

I used yellow ink to ink the lovely Medieval Stencil behind my butterfly and banner.  The banner is part of the Nested Banners die set!

In the picture below you can also see that I stamped the Bubblewrap stamp in the bottom right corner with Versafine Ink and embossed with a pearl embossing powder!  I just really like the added touch!!

This picture also gives you a closer look at my gorgeous butterfly!!  I stamped this butterfly from the Majestic Butterflies stamp set three times!  so that I could fussy cut certain sections out to add dimension and added interest! 

Have a lovely day!  

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)

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.

How to make a MDF book - romantic hard cover journal

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share with you my latest MDF book.

I don't usually make romantic, pastel projects but this one just kind of happened.

Let's start by making the book...

Glue the book covers and spine on your chosen paper - it's vital that you leave 0.5 cm in between the covers and the spine.

Trim any spare paper around the edges but make sure you leave at least 0.5 cm for wrapping over.

Cut out the corners as above to allow for neat wrapping.

Now, it's time to start wrapping over the paper. 

Make sure you're using a strong double-sided tape for this!

Start from the short edges.

Then the long edge.

Now your outside cover is ready.

For the inside cover, you need to cut a rectangular piece of paper and simply glue it in place.

Make the rectangle minimally smaller than the cover itself.

Delicately fold the cover to create the crease between the covers and the spine.

You're ready to start decorating!

Using Retro Petals stencil and two colour-coordinating inks, add a design creating background for the embellishment cluster.

Build up layers using lace, paper embellishments and flowers.

Keep adding until you're happy.

I decided to make a matching journal insert for the book.

With the same colours as the cover, I added the stencil design.

Then built up the embellishment cluster.

Time to add the insert to the book.

Make a loop from a lace - make sure it's big enough to fit the cover through it.

Making sure you don't damage it, slide the cover and the journal through the lace ribbon - you might want to do it through the back cover rather than the front one.

The lace ribbon will keep the journal in place.

You can add more inserts the same way.

As you can see, the MDF covers are extremely versatile, so make sure you grab some from the shop and make your own books!!!
