Sneek Peek! Pick of the week- Toread's

Well they are nearly here! The legendary Tiny Nymphs! 

The delightful little characters called 'Toreads'

On Friday 28th September 2012 on Create & Craft tv, Ideal World 

Crafter's Companion will be launching stamps and cds.

My sneek peek is slightly different, but shows just how versatile the characters are!

I used the image flora from decoupage section and imported into my software and made into a sheet of cupcakes toppers,quite easily,to print onto a sheet of edible icing,printed with edible inks .

So all you cake fanatics can make use of the cd's also! And what an eye catching display they would make for a celebration!

SWALK PICK OF THE WEEK

Hope you've all been tuning in for the SWALK pick of the week on Create & Craft/Ideal World,by

Crafters Companion.

Here is one of the stamps using the backing paper and sentiment from the cd, i used Spectrum noir pens for the image, which i cut out and added to the card with Collall glue gel for dimension,.

This sneek peek is Adorable!!!

Oh the joys of being on Crafters Companion Design Team.

Here i am pleased to show you a card made using the

Brand new collection of

Adorables by Jayne Nestorenko!

These will be launching on Friday On Create & Craft/Ideal World TV

Keep checking back for more details.

Go over and join in the fun on Crafter Companion Blog News & Views

This card was made using my new Ecraft, which is Solely distributed in the UK by Crafters Companion, the card base, the tag, the flowers the sentiment all cut out on the New Ecraft. For the image i used Jayne Nestorenko's new stamp from her latest collection of Adorables and I added colour using Derwent watercolour pencils.

The Ecraft cuts up to 12x12 and doesnt need a cutting mat!Also can cut from 1-50 sheets from the tray, so it would be like a printer, no more loading each sheet onto a sticky mat!

Humphrey 2nd Sneek Peek!

Here as promised is my 2nd sneek peek at the new

'Humphrey' launch

with Crafters Companion.

On Ideal world tuesday 24th May 2011. 9pm,Pick of the Day.

Here i used a frame card from one of the cds,also one of the tags which are available.

I sprayed the frame & base image with Irridescent Spray & Sparkle & made up the decoupage with Collall glue gel.

Then, using the new Envelobox Creator I made a box to fit the whole card in, as the tage protrudes from the edge would make it difficult to fit in an envelope, so using the envelobox board i made the box and printed an insert from the cd to match the frame card and again sprayed with Spray & Shine Irredecent spray, all available from Crafters Companion!

Keep checking back for more and have a look at the Crafters Companion blog, as from today they will be linking to the Design Teams blogs to give you some amazing inspiration, that makes Humphrey a must have!!!

Sneak peek No 2-SWALK3

Here is another sneek peek of the forthcoming launch of

SWALK3

On Create & Craft/Ideal World.

The launch will consist of six plates of un-mounted rybber stamps.

For this sample, i have used an MDF plaque,rubbed it with Tim Holtz Distress ink-Barn Dorr and then Black soot, i then added gold leaf to the edge.

I stamped the image in Stazon onto the plaque,then in memento ink onto a piece of card, which i added colour using Copic pens. I cut the image out and attached to the plaque using pva glue and then,when dry i sprayed in several coats with Spray & Shine, which gives a gloss varnish finish!

This would make a lovely gice for some one special for ,perhaos, Valentines day!

The back has a loop to hang the plaque.

Check back this week for more sneak peeks.
