'Frozen Beauty.'

Hi there Lovelies,

How are you all, hope the answer to that question is very well.  Thank you so much for all your visits and comments on my last blog post, I love to hear what you think of my projects, good or bad lol!  hopefully more good than bad lol!.

I thought I would share another of my sample cards which I made for the lovely Sue Baker Presents shows on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel on 22nd,/23rd. July 2019.   These gorgeous stamps are from the 'Snow Queen Collection.'    They are just stunning, hope you like what I have done with them.    Please bear with me as there are quite a few photos but not too much reading you'll be pleased to hear lol!

     

Matt and layer a black square onto the 7"x7" white base card, leaving a quarter inch of the white base card showing.    Next matt a smaller square of blue card onto the black.

   
Take some white linen effect card and cut  to  approximately five & three quarter inches square.   Stamp the facial features in the centre of the white card using a black ink pad.

    
Stamp the icicles in the top left and bottom right corners.   Stamp the word 'Snow' to the centre top, 'Ice' to the centre right and 'Frosty' to the bottom left corner.

   
Dab some stormy sky Distress ink onto a work mat and add a spray or two of water, then using a paint brush, paint the icicles, her lips,  eyes  and eyebrow with it.

    
Add little dabs of diamond glitter paste to the right eyebrow, icicles, eyes, lips and the centres of the snowflakes.   Unfortunately the photos don't show up the pretty sparkles, they really do sparkle when the light catches them.

Punch out 3 large, 2 medium and 2 small flowers from blue coloured card, using the Woodware punches. 

        
Add some small touches of the diamond glitter paste to the petals.   Make up 3 different flowers using the punched shapes ie., 1 large + 1 small,  -    1 large + 1 medium + 1 small   -   and  1 large + 1 medium.

  
                      Glue these to the face.   Glue a blue gem stone to the centre of each flower.

  
                  Glue some blue gems in the top right corner and three below the word 'Frosty.'

Matt this onto a piece of black card with only a tiny border of the black showing, then matt this onto
the base card.

That's all from me for the moment.   Thanks for sticking with me to the end of this post lol!   Catch you all again very soon.    Enjoy the rest of your week and Happy Crafting.

                                                               Love and rainbows,

                                                                Hugs   Jennifer xx.

'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.
