About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Voila!!

Did you manage to catch the launch show of the Parisian themed Imagination Crafts One Day Special? Some great demos and fab samples from the team.


This is another of my samples, using one of the rice papers, Magi-Cutz, the script from Les Ciseaux stencil with Gold Relief Paste and of course Starlights in Banana Yellow, Hot Pink and Rich Gold.  Artsy Stones add a little bit of texture.

Sue will be back at 8pm tonight and again at 9am, 1pm and 5pm tomorrow.
Take care,

Paris Tag

So today's the day. Sue will be on your screens at 6pm for the launch of the Imagination Crafts Parisian Hochanda One Day Special. Today's share is an MDF tag.
For this, I used Rich Gold and Green Starlights with White Gesso to cover the tag, then added rice paper to the bottom left corner. I then masked off the scissors in the stencil, to leave the flowers, and used a combination of Gold and Malahit Relief Pastes. For the flowers, I rubbed French Lavender (Purple) Alchemy Wax over the relief paste. 

The little Paris and France circles are Magi Cutz covered with paint and wax. Lots of ribbon to finish off!! 

Don't forget to tune in to see Sue with lots more samples from the DT and loads of demos!

Take care,
Cxxx

Oooo la la!!

A little Parisian charm is coming to your screens on Friday in the form of some great Imagination Crafts goodies. There are Parisian themed rice papers, stencils and Magi-Cutz alongside all the greats like Starlights, Texture Paste, Relief Paste and Alchemy Waxes.


For this, I cut a 10x12 canvas in half, and painted the background with white gesso and Banana Yellow, Silver Gold and Mediterranean Sky Starlights.  The texture on the left is some ric-rac and Artsy Stones that I stuck on before painting.

The "Paris" word is from one of the rice papers, and I used several of the stencils to create the script and other texture using black gesso and Platinum Relief Paste. The Eiffel Tower and the stamp are Magi Cutz.

Sue will be on your screens on Friday at 6pm for the launch of the One Day Special, and again at 8pm. She will then be back at 9am, 1pm and 5pm on Saturday.

I have more samples to share with you over the next few days - so I will be back!!
Take Care
