'Snow Wolf.'

Good evening Fellow Bloggers,

Thank you for visiting my last blog post and for your comments, much appreciated by me.   I would also like to welcome my newest follower, lovely to have you here.

Tonight I would like to share another sample card which I made for the lovely Sue Baker Presents, shows on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel  in July 2019.   The stamps I have used are from the stunning 'Snow Queen Collection.' 

   
Using a square of  satin/shiny white card, colour it using a brayer and the Vivid Rainbow Dye Inkpad.
using the dark blue, purple and blue sections of the inkpad, with a little spray of water.

Cut out a circle approximately 3" in diameter from thin white card and colour with some watered down inks left on your workmat after colouring the satin card..   Glue the moon to the coloured card, just off centre.

Take a piece of white card and the clear wolf stamp (on the left of the photo) and stamp the wolf onto it using the silver  Encore pad and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.   Cut him out and decide where you would like the snowflakes he is breathing out, need to be.   Then stamp the snowflakes with the silver pad and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

    

       

Using the silver pad and embossing powder, stamp the word 'Snow' and the snowflakes sentiment onto the card and heat emboss with silver powder.

                                                                                                                            

Fix the wolf in the bottom left of the card using silicone glue.

                                                                                                                                   

Stamp the other 7 snowflakes around the card and heat emboss with the silver pad.

   
Matt and layer this onto a slightly larger piece of silver mirror card and then onto a 7" x 7" white base card and the card is finished.

    
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.   Have a good week and stay safe and be happy.  See you all again soon with another  card made from this beautiful Snow Queen Collection.

                                                                     Love and rainbows,

                                                          Happy Crafting,  Hugs   Jennifer xx.

'Frozen Snow Queen.'

Good  Afternoon All,

Hope you are all well and happy, despite the changeable weather lol!    Another weekend not far away, they do seem to come around very quickly which I'm very happy about but, it does mean my life is going by faster lol!   not so sure I'm happy about the latter lol!

I thought I would share another of my card samples made for our lovely Sue Baker's latest shows on the Create & Craft T.V  Channel last month,  'Sue Baker Presents.'    I really enjoyed making cards with these gorgeous A4 stamp sets.   This collection is called 'The Snow Queen Collection',   such beautiful designs, I just love them.  

 
Matt a square of black card onto a 7" x 7" white base card, leaving a half inch border of the white showing.   Take a smaller square of white card and stamp the 'Snow Queen' onto the centre, using a black ink pad.

Make a paper mask of the same image, trim around the edges and lay on top of the original image.

Colour around the paper mask using the Stormy Sky and Dusty Concord distress inks using a blending tool, whilst holding the mask in position.

   

Remove the mask.   Stamp the icicles, owl, butterfly,  stars and the word 'Beautiful.' using a black ink pad.   Matt this onto the black matt on the  white base card.

  
Stamp the main image once again onto some white card, using a black ink pad and colour with the distress inks, water and a paintbrush.   Cut out.

    
Add some glue around the base and up the right-hand side of the original stamped image on the coloured card and sprinkle on the purple crushed glass glitter.   Shake off the excess.

   

                      Glue the cut out image to the original image on the coloured card.

                                     Highlight parts of the stamped images using a white pen.

               

Add small amounts of Diamond glitter paste to her cheek, lips, hair and the fur around the hood of her cloak, using your fingertip.   The glitter has not shown up so well on the photos but it does  make her look icy cold in real life so to speak

The card is now finished, hope you like it.   Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog and if you have left a comment 'thank you'    I really appreciate it.   I do love to hear what you think of my projects.   Take good care of yourselves until my next post.   Happy Crafting!

                                                                   Love and rainbows,

                                                                     Hugs   Jennifer xx.

                                                              

'Iced Snow Queen'.

Hello Lovelies,

Here we are again, yet another weekend  here lol!  no sooner than the week begins, the weekend is here again!   This year seems to be just flying by at an enormous rate of knots lol!   Today I would like to share one of my sample cards made for the lovely Sue Baker's launch of the gorgeous new  'Snow Queen Collection' which was shown on the  Create & Craft T.V. shows on the 22nd./23rd. of July 2019.   This is a stunning collection and I just love it lol!   right up my street as the saying goes.   I do hope you like it too.    The designs are beautiful and they certainly inspired me.  Whilst making my samples,  ideas were popping  into my head for the next card lol!   could have just kept on making cards with this collection, so many combinations, especially if you have all 4 sets of stamps, you can mix and match lol.    Well enough chit chat, we shall get started with the card.   Apologies for all the photos but I do like to share the different stages with you....you will be pleased to hear, there is not much reading to do lol!

Begin by stamping the word 'ICE' in the bottom right corner of a 7" x 7" white base card, using a Versamark pad and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

Take a piece of watercolour card and colour it using the light purple, light blue, light green and white spray inks, plus a spray or two of water.   Let the inks move around on the card, then leave to dry.   When dry, stamp the large Snow Queen onto it, using a black inkpad.

                 
Trim around this image to approximately four and a half inches by five inches.   Matt and layer this onto  a slightly larger piece of white card. ,

            
Take another piece of white card slightly larger than the last matt and using a metal spatula or a brayer, spread some lavender glitter paste around all four outer edges.   I dried this using a heat gun which gives a 'bobbly' effect, which  I  quite like.

Matt the snow Queen image onto the lavender edged card.   Punch a small hole in each corner, for this I used a Cropodile tool, which cuts through card and more,  like butter lol!

 
Add some lavender glitter paste to each brad and when dry, fix one in each hole.

Stamp the ice crown 8 times onto some spare white card, using the silver pigment pad and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

(I stamped an extra crown just in case I spoiled one when cutting them out) -  only seven were needed.

Cut out each crown and glue to the back of the image.   Four down the right-hand edge and three along the bottom edge, making sure the points of the ice crown will not protrude beyond the edges of the base card.

                                                              Glue this to the base card.

Punch out sixteen small circles from a piece of white card, coloured with the lavender glitter paste.   Glue to the right and bottom edges of the base card.

         
Glue one in her hair and the others to her ice crown.

      

         
Add some highlights to the image using a white pen.   Well the card is now finished.   I really enjoyed making this card, I do hope you like it too.   That's all from me for the moment, take care of yourselves and have a great weekend.

                                                                    Love & Rainbows,

                                                                     Hugs   Jennifer xx.

  

Sunset Stag.

Hi there Lovelies,

How are you all, well I hope.   So sorry for not posting on here for a while, just life has been quite busy of late.  

Today I would like to share a sneaky peek at a card I have made for Sue Baker's  launch of the fabulous 'Snow Queen Collection.'    A stunning collection, gorgeous designs, right up my street lol!   could have gone on forever producing cards with them, ideas popping into my head all the time lol!   The launch show will be on Create & Craft today (22nd. July 2019) at 2pm. until 4pm. and then again at 9pm.   The time for tomorrow's show  will be at 1pm.   I do hope you can tune in or record the shows.   OK. now to my sneaky peek lol!

    
Matt and layer a square of blue card onto the 7" x 7" white base card, leaving a quarter inch border of the white showing.

Cut a smaller square of white card and paint with the white, Mulberry purple and the lavender blue fabric paints, watered down and brush across the card for the sky.

Using the silver embossing pad, stamp the 'dangles' in the top right corner and the butterflies near the centre and to the right, (leaving enough room for the stag) and heat emboss with the Starry Night embossing powder.  

     

     
Stamp the 'dangles' again onto white card and cut out the top part only and glue these to the original image.

Stamp the word 'ICE' in the top centre using the silver embossing pad and heat emboss with the purple embossing powder.   Matt this onto the base card.

Tear a piece of white card into 3 strips,  the torn edge will be the snow but leave the other three edges straight.   These will look like snow drifts.   Add glue to the top edges of the three snow drifts and sprinkle some cracked ice or glitter onto the glue.   Gently press with your fingers then shake off any excess sparkle.

    
Glue the snow drifts to the bottom of the card.

Stamp the stag onto onto a piece of blue card, using the silver pad and heat emboss with the purple embossing powder.   Trim around the stag and glue his legs which are in the distance, behind the first  snow drift.   Add silicone glue behind the stag.

    

    
Glue three clear diamond gems to the top left, then a white ribbon bow to the top of the 'dangles.'

        

     
Well that's this card finished, I do hope you like it as much as I had making it.   Catch you all again soon.   Take care of yourselves.

                                                                   Love and rainbows,

                                                                    Hugs   Jennifer xx.

Wonders of the Deep.

Good afternoon Friends, Followers & Visitors,

Hope everyone is well and are having a good start to the weekend.   Sounds like the weather will be reasonable for most of us, so maybe some gardening is on the cards lol!   Speaking of cards, I have one to share with you today which I made in February 2018 and has never been seen until now.   I have used Imagination Craft's beautiful stencil of the seahorse and  Sparkle Mediums and Distress Inks.      Hope you like it.

 
I used a 7" x 7" white base card on which to work.   Matt a slightly smaller square of maroon coloured card onto the base card.

Take a smaller square of white card and colour with Tumbled glass, Peacock feathers, Dried marigold, Squeezed lemonade, Dusty concord & Ripe persimmon Distress inks.    I dabbed the distress ink pads onto my work surface and spritzed with water.   I then dabbed the card into the wet inks, keeping the centre of the card yellow, then left it to dry.

When dry, lay the seahorse stencil onto the coloured card and secure to the work surface with masking tape so the stencil doesn't move when working.

Spread the Sparkle Mediums over the design using a metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

Matt this onto a slightly larger piece of white card and then, onto the base card.    Well that's this card finished, quite a quick card to make.   That's all from me for the moment.   Take care of yourselves and have a wonderful chilled out weekend.   See you all again soon.

                                                                  Love and rainbows,

                                                                    Hugs   Jennifer xx.
