Crafters Companion will be launching loads this weekend and this is just one of the new products, its from the German company 'Reddy', this card is made using the Paintbox Poppets set of decoupage.

I made a stepper card in the centre and used the popout die cut shapes, adding colour with Copics pens to give dimension, also, now usually i have a peel off free zone on my blog, but in the kits they contain peel offs,some great strips to line your workand add a bit of extra detail.

Here is an a5 card, made using the brand new Puppies & Kittens which was launched over the weekend,by Joanna Sheen on Create & Craft.

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the ribbon effect acroos the centre, the heart is taken from the sentiment, which i used the snapshot tool and imported into Word, resized and added the sentiment with my desired font.

How to .....Make blossoms with your SpellBinders Nestabilities

You can make some beautiful blossoms using the new Blossom Spellbinder Nestabilities.

I use my Sizzix big shot, which requires you to

Firstly add the un-opened multipurpose platform on the Sizzix, then add your chosen dies, ridges up! i used sizes (1 being the largest die)  2,3,4 & 5 ( optional)

 On top of these place your chosen card, then the two acylic mats on top of your card.

Run these through your machine.

And leave the cutout shapes in the dies on the platform

Then add the two silicone/rubber mats, a shim ( folded piece of paper or i find and envelope the right thickness) on top and on top of it all one acrylic mat, then re-run through your machine.

Remove you cutout blossoms and the die onto a Creative Expressions non-stick Craft sheet

Then using an Adirondack ink pad and a square of wet & dry pad,

rub the ink around the edge of the die onto the blossom, in a swirling motion, this will just shade the centre of the blossom.

Repeat for all the other sizes.

Then cut into each blossom to roughly a cm from the centre, to give the blossom petals, this doesnt have to be exact.

Using a boning tool curl the individual petals to make the blossom into a cup shape.

Glue the blossom layers together with a wet glue, leaving to dry, then you can cup the flower in your hand and dress the flower to your desired shape.

Depending on what card you use you can get some great effects!

At this point you can just add a brad and attach to a card, hairband, bag etc or if you cut out the smallest die,

colour but dont cut the blossom and just cup in the palm of your hand using a large ball embossing tool, then glue to the centre of your blossom and add I then added a large blob of Crystal Stickles.

A quadruple post-Joanna Sheen,Crafters Companion, Jayne Nestorenko and Flowersoft!

I have soo soo many cards to put on my blog i have made over the last few weeks, im going to have to do a few multi posts to catch up or else you wont see the pictures before the next lot of launches.

First is a sample for Joanna Sheen - Pamela West Collection 2.

This time the card is made using the wonderful black & White image on the second cd.

I used Derwent Watercolour pencils, so when printing the image i left it to dry overnight, before using the them, but ofcourse printing is perfect to use Promarkers or Copics, as it doesnt bleed! Make sure you use a good quality copier paper though,not card as the pens will then bleed!.

I used Word Art from Microsoft Word for the Sentiment.

The next card is for the Popcorn Kids Pick of the Week,this week by Crafters Companion on Create & Craft/Ideal World

This card is made using the popcorn kids decoupage image,backing papers and sentiments/toppers from the new cd.

Crafters Companion-Poprcorn Kids-Pick of the Week

And this card is for the launch of Patchwork Polly by Jayne Nestorenko.

This is Jenny, i used Copics to colour the stamped images, using the patchwork sqaure,which comes with the stamp set, for the backing papers and the little embelishment button flower stamps, i stamped multiple times and mounted to the card using Collal Glue Gel. The flowers in the main pictures were stamped, using the masking technique, this is where when having stamped one set of flowers, stamp again onto a spare piece of card and cutting out, spraying it with the re-positionable Crafters Companion Stick &Spray, then placing the extra image over the stamped image on the card and this gives the effect of images behind or infront of each other, depending on where you mask off, besure not to use too thick a card for you mask though, as this will give you and edge that isnt stamped, so thickish paper is ideal, as sits flush to the printed image you want to add to.

Patchwork Polly & Friends by Jayne Nestorenko-Jenny

And finally, but not least.

This Easel Card is made using the wonderful Bicycle stamp from Flowersoft.

I stamped the image onto Acetate using Stazon, so it dries, then on the reverse of the inked image, i coloured using Promarker, this is so the pens dont bleed the image, as both alcohol based, then when pens dry, i covered the pen side of the image in Hi-Tack Glue and added banana paper to it, which looking from the correct side looks like solid white glue, leaving it to dry for atleast 24hours! this then gives you the backing which(I think resembles Brickwork and gravel/cobbles)

I then used the flowersoft to add the flowers to the baskets.

I then made up an easel card and mounted the image using Collal Glue Gel, as you will find the acetate doesnt want to be completely flat after the paper has dried on the back.
