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!

Keep checking back and popping over to Crafters companion blog  News & views and join in the competition.

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,.

Tim Holtz Pick of the Week

Oh i was in heaven!!

I was sent, by Crafters Companion, products to make samples for the Brand New Today

Tim Holtz Pick of the Week on Create & Craft Tv,

which included their new embossing folders and Core dination 12 x 12 papers, made epsecially to match all the colours of Tim Holtz Distressed ink pads!

The coredinations has a different colour running through the 'Core' of the papers, then you sand the top with the sand it gadget and show the 'Core' colour.

For this card i embossed using the Polka dot embossing folder, which i used twice, by roughly lining up the dots and re embossing, so i go a larger piece of embossed paper,then i sanded it to show the light colour.

I used 3 birds Clearly stamped by Crafters Companion for Sentiment and for the corner embelishment, which i stamps Stazon black ink onto the coloured Coredinations paper and cut the corners out. The image is

Sheena Douglass' Simply Sweet stamp set, which used her Paint Fusion Technique to paint the lavender.

Now for my announcement

I am very pleased to be able to announce that .....

I am one of the new

Officially Approved Demonstrators for

Crafters Companion!

After and extensive and amazing weekend with Sara,Leann,Claire, Michelle & Meg and a we had to be assessed!!! Arrrgghhh!! to see if we were good enough, i think we all went grey over night, not that we cant do it but we were doing it in front of Sara, Leann & Claire!!

We were personally invited to go for a weekend at Aston Hotel in Darlington, the food was amazing!! The room was wonderful!! It was a very packed weekend being taught the business end of the company rather than, being on the design team, the craft side of it.

Then on the Monday afternoon we had a workshop with the wonderfully talented

Sheena Douglass! Learning all the ropes with her products too!

Anyway I passed !!

And met some truly wonderful people that i felt like i had known for years and will never look at chocolate cake again with out think of Meg and a big jug of Custard!!

Please keep an eye out for where i will be demonstrating!! Could be near you, im the South East area.

This is made using the flowers from the cd which can be built up to any depth you like,also the backing paper,which i sprayed with Spray & sparkle, then i used the Grandma sheet of stamps for the image and sentiments.
