Last Chance to get hold of the Blooming Marvelous Collection.

Hi Friends and Crafters. Things are rather busy at the moment, especially with the extra videos that I am adding to the Youtube Channel and the prep. Just wanted to let you know that it's your last chance to get hold of the Craftascope Blooming Marvelous Collection with 50% off. You can get the full set now for 39.97 rather than the regular price of 79.95, so please don't miss out if you really want to add it to your collection, there are not many left now and I'd hate anyone to miss out on this wonderful offer. There are many more samples but here are a few to give you some inspiration.The first shows another way of using the collection, almost beautiful piece of Jewellery from Jane.

The collection consists of 2 A5 Plus  (close to A4) stamp sheets, 3 Wonderful Stencils and the Dancing Dolphin 2 part die set.

I have included some of the projects made using this collection in case you missed the launch show on Hochanda.

I have also included a link at thee bottom of this page for the launch show if you would like some more inspiration.

These stamps are beautiful for pattern building or using singly to make the most wonderful floral cards or notelets. 

However they are not just for your card craft, they are great to make beautiful stitched or embroidered projects.

So whatever crafts you enjoy, they really will suit a wide range of people and occasions.

There so much to celebrate, being the a full year since the Craftascope Makes Facebook Group was started. It's also the first anniversary of my first show on Hochanda and on Tuesday the 40th Youtube Video will go live.

To thank you for all of your support over the year I will be adding offers on my Etsy store over the coming week, so do keep an eye out for those. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx

Morning my Wonderful Friends and Crafters

Morning to all of my Wonderful Friends and Crafters. I have a full day of rest ahead of me at last today. Not that I haven't totally enjoyed every minute of it, all of the orders are checked, packed and either already received or in the hands of the Post office, winging their way to you. I really cant wait to see what you all make with them, I really want you all to have fun. Here is the first Hochanda Show with Charlie, I wanted to add it for you, so it is still available after rewind has gone.

I really want to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for the support, trust and faith you have put in me. Without you buying the collections and giving me your support, I wouldn't be able to invest in bringing more Different and Unique products to you. You all know by now, the time and effort I put into my range and the quality I supply. If you do have the time I would really appreciate some feedback once the Feefo mails come your way for the products you have bought.

As I said on the show, every range I bring out will form a wonderful Library of amazing tools to create a range of projects to suit any person or occasion, everything from ATC's, Card Making, Journalling and Scrapbooking. Absolutely anything you would like to create. My Design team and I will be sharing inspiration over time, so please keep checking back for ideas.

I do have some of the items available on my Etsy Shop, for those of you who would like them, There is a link at the top of my Blog Page.

My next 2 collections will be arriving next week, so we will all have plenty of time to create for the next shows on Hochanda. These will be very special and so I hope you will be looking forward to adding to your collections as well. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

Holy Night

Morning everyone. Sorry for missing a post on Monday, with one thing and another and Blogspot playing up again I ran out of time and couldn't manage. Today I would like to share a Christmas Card that I have made towards my Christmas Box. Thanks have to go to Dawn for getting me going.

This is quite a large card, so definitely for someone special. I took a sheet of A3 Centura Pearl, scored and folded it in half, then cut it so it measured 9 3/4''.

I measured from one end and marked at 6'' and cut using a craft knife and ruler. On the thinner slice I cut 2 1/2'' from the bottom. Then both of these where scored and folded in half giving staggered easels.

I stamped some of my own leaf stamps using versamark and embossed them using silver embossing powder. I then coloured them using a mixture of Shaded Lilac Distress ink and Summer Sky Memento ink. I cut them out and set side for later.

Next I took my 'Oh Holy Night' Die and cut it 3 times in card and once in gold mirri card. I then stuck these together using the gold at the top, using Cosmic Shimmer glue. I coloured the edge using my gold Krylon pen.

I made the card front using a couple of backing card sheets. Firstly I cut out the detailed circle die (Tonic) in white card and used blue Silk Art card behind to highlight the detail. I cut the snowy cottage from the backing card and secured behind with Cosmic Shimmer glue. Santa and the reindeer were cut from another sheet and secured to the circle using 3D glue gel.

The topper for the smaller easel was made with a stamped sentiment and snowflakes which I stamped using Deep Lagoon Versafine Ink. I mounted this onto Navy Silk Art card and mirri card. I added the snow at the bottom by cutting out some snow from the backing sheet and shaping it with my ball tool. Then wrapped with a small sheet of snowy acetate, letting it bow at the front.

I used Navy Silk Art card and gold mirri for all of the mats and used a corner punch on all of them. I did gut all of the card where it wouldn't show or make a difference to the strength of the the finished card. I used some of my leaves as stoppers for the easels and arranged the remaining ones around the corner. Lastly I added my 'Oh Holy Night' sentiment.

Many thanks for visiting my blog today, I really welcome your comment and appreciate your support. Some very exciting news, Leonie has a brand new Launch coming up very soon, more details to follow.
