Easy Watercolouring with Pencils – Tips & Tricks

Easy Watercolouring with pencils – Tips & Tricks – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I have always loved to paint. The mixing and flowing of colours fascinate me. I dabbled in watercolour painting before I started papercraft and haven’t lost the love. If you are new to watercolouring then pencils make for such as easy entry to the medium. We all played with colouring pencils as kids. You are just colouring as you did as a child.

The video below goes through a few tips for easy water colouring including, what paper to use, how to lay down colour and how to blend it. The phrase is that practice makes perfect and that is certainly true here. The more you practise the less scary it becomes and the more you will enjoy it. Don’t be afraid to try, there is no one watching and you can as many mistakes as you like. We all make mistakes, that is how we learn.

How to Make it Shake!! Christmas Shaker Card

How to Make it Shake!! Christmas Shaker Card. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love shaker cards but sometimes struggle with making them. This one turned out really well I think. The sequins around the card pic up on the sequins in the shaker card and give it a lovely cohesive effect. I embossed the Balmy Blue layer with the Woodlands embossing folder which matches the woodland feel of the stamped image.

When I was a child, I love Snow Globes. They weren’t as widely available as they are now and were so special. I love just loved watching all the glittery snow falling down on the scene. I still have a few that I have collected over the years that I put out for Christmas. This year I want to try and make one for myself. Watch this space!!

Feels Like Frost Thank you Card – Stampin’ Up!

I can’t believe it is less than a week to Christmas. This is my last blog of this year. I will be back on the 3rd of January. I have a thank you card to share with you today featuring the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper – (DSP). This paper is going into hibernation at the end of this year but will be back in the Autumn / Winter Catalogue next year. YEAH!!!

This is a quick and easy card to make that can easily be made in bulk. It’s perfect therefore for your Christmas thank you cards. The Feels Like Frost DSP is so beautiful and works for any winter card, not just Christmas.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones as accent pieces here. I thought they would retire at the end of December but they are carrying over and I am so excited. I love them. The Holiday Rhinestones come as one pack of various sizes and various colours. So useful!!

The Bells are Ringing – Christmas Card Tutorial

It is yet another grey and ugly day in Lincoln. I have this gorgeous Bells are Ringing Christmas card to share with you. Bad weather days are perfect for crafting I think. What do you think?

I haven’t used this set yet and now I wish I had. These bell dies are beautiful. They are intricate and cut so cleanly. I didn’t have to pick out any bits from them. This card is very simple but the sentiment does ring out a true note of Christmas. It is my favourite sentiment from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set.

This blog post will go live on the 2nd of December. I am doing it early though as I have to take my mother to Queens Medical Centre for an eye appointment. They are going to put a dye in her vein that will go up to her eyes so they can verify whether her macular generation is wet or dry. I think it’s wet in this eye though, as I am sure that is what Moorfields in London told us.

Back to a lighter note, have you started making your Christmas Cards yet? Do you still make many? I feel the decline in card giving in the last of years is quite sad. I love receiving a card with a personal message from someone.

Pink Gift Bag – Shimmery Silver – Stampin’ Up!

Hello and thank you for visiting. I have this lovely pink gift bag to share with you today that features the Feels Like Frost silver foiled designer series paper. This is a very simple bag but it looks like a million dollars, or I think so!!

I think the melon mambo pink and silver foil DSP are a match made in heaven. This would be a perfect gift bag for a girly party, a hen night or even a silver wedding anniversary.

measurements

Melon Mambo Cardstock – 9 1/2″ X 61/2″,

- Scored on the short side at 1 1/2″
Feels like Frost – 2 3/4″ X 4 3/4″

It is a grey and yucky day here in Lincoln. Everything outside is dark and grey. I love Melon Mambo as even on a horrid day weather-wise it can bring a spark of bold colour to my day. Which is your favourite Stampin’ Up! colour? Let me know in the comments section below.

Shakey, Shakey – Feels Like Frost Shaker Card

I have a shaker card to share with you today or as I call them a shakey, shakey card. Shaker Cards are fun and interactive and I love to make them. These are super easy to make with the snow globe domes from Stampin’ Up!

Shakey, Shakey, Shaker card with the Feels like Frost Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! — Shakey, Shakey, Shaker card with the Feels like Frost Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

I have used the Feels Like Frost designer series paper (DSP) here. It is a gorgeous paper collection. It has lovely wintery images on the one side with shimmery metallic silver foiling on the other side.

Instead of stamping behind the shaker dome I have used the cutout section of the DSP to make one seamless image. I haven’t used too many sequins so that this image is still visible.

I love shakey, shakey cards. These domes allow you to make a shaker card or create a proper snow globe. I plan to make more of these as Christmas approaches.
