Flawless Magnolias

Today is my first regular post for the Pretty Crafty Stuff DT, I wanted to use the new flower silhouette cut file. I love magnolias, they are so pretty! I had one cut out of white cardstock and I tried to colour it using the SpectrumAquas and it was sort of ok. I grabbed some watercolour pencils and added some shading and it turned out pretty great! I used Winnie & Walter stamps and dies. I've been wanting to use that pretty xoxoxoxo die border to do embossing since I first saw it and it was just as perfect as I Imagined. I love the black and white against the soft pink. I hope you do too! For more inspiration I would love you to like the Pretty Crafty Stuff facebook page, the team are very inspiring.

Take care now, see you soon!

Petra's Peekaboo Circles

I made a new cut file for Pretty Crafty Stuff, my friend Petra made wish for a file and I thought the idea was great so I made it into a file. Here is a layout using it with some lovely Craft Market paper and decos from Crate Paper. I think it turned out fun. Also I got to use some Reverse Confetti stamps I had in my stash and really love. And some old photos I never scrapped because they were very small and not so good. But together and in this small format it didn't really matter.

So, go shop Petra's Peekaboo circles and thanks for stopping by!

Star shaker

This is my card for DESIGN in PAPERS today. I made a star shaker card using one of the tags from Tag, you're it from PrettyCraftyStuff to use as shaker part. I filled it with some chunky glitter, but I think all the lovely papers makes this card. They are all brand new, Cicci brought them home from CHA and I got to pick my favourites. This is Kaisercraft, Lawn Fawn and Doodlebug in a lovely mix. It makes me happy to use graphical patterns and bold colors.

Hopefully I'll be back with some pictures from my trip to Birmingham soon. If I remembered to take any ;) Hence the hopefully. I tend to get a bit overwhelmed and totally forget to take any. And that is why I'm more of a cardmaker than a scrapbooker.

Hey!

I'm running a bit behind but here is my creation for DESIGN in PAPERS this week, I keep going back to the Stitched collection by Amy Tan, the colors are so pretty. I made a watercolor background with the same color scheme and added one of the new PrettyCraftyStuff tags. This one you can use as is, letting some pretty background paper showing through the slits or do what I did. Weave in the pretty papers to make a decorative tag.

I added some wood veneer and god thread and called it a day. I don't think it needs more decorating. It's also a great way to use up some of those paper strips that is to pretty to throw away.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Joy

I have a big bunch of diecuts on my desk, I'm not kidding. A BIG bunch. I' have been trying out my own cut files for Pretty Crafty Stuff since I want to make sure they work before uploading them. And I haven't had the time to use them all yet. But here is a card using the new Peace on Earth cut file.

And here is a snapshot of my craft space before I tried to organize some of the piles into other piles.

I would love to get any ideas on how to organize cutouts and die cuts from those stupid packages that aren't resealable. I can't find a way to both store and find the ones I want. If I don't see them I rarely use them. Everything needs to be close and also easy to see. Ideas?

Stamping on patterned paper

I really adore the Homemade collection by Pebbles, the papers are really me. I made another DT-card for DESIGN in PAPERS with them and the Blissful Botanical stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn. I almost never think about stamping on patterned paper but it really looks kind of cool! Especially on the text paper. I did some shading with the Spectrum Noir Blendable Pencils to make it pop a bit and added details with a white gel pen.

In other news: I've started a facebook page for Pretty Crafty stuff. I'll be sharing inspiration and news there and I hope you will join me there. You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/prettycraftystuff

I'm working on some new files for the shop, they are called Peace on Earth and You're Brilliant. Want a sneak?

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope to see you soon again :)

We go together

I rediscovered there great Reverse Confetti stamps while looking for something else. I had this circle die cut I made for Pretty Crafty Stuff on my craft table and thought they would look great together because of the modern feel. I colored the die cut using Distress ink and used matching embossing powders on a black background to make them pop. It looks really graphical and cool I think.

Tomorrow I'll be posting another christmas card but I thought this could be a nice with another type of card for a change.

Christmas fun at A blog named Hero

I hope you haven't missed out on all the inspiration over at A blog named Hero this month. There is new inspiration each day, sometimes even two posts a day and we are all sharing what we like most about Christmas.

Today is my turn to inspire and I made a card using one of my own cut files and one of my favourite Hero Arts background stamps.

I embossed the black background using silver pearl embossing powder from WOW and colored my die cut with Distress ink. Lots of shimmer using mist on top of the triangles that now looks like trees. I did stretch out the file first to make the triangles longer. I think it looks great.

There is two prizes from Simon Says Stamp to win by commenting on one of the post at A blog named Hero (you are very welcome to comment my post here too but you won't win anything, you'll just make my day).

Crosstitch star card

I used one of my Pretty Crafty Stuff cut files to make a stencil, this crosstitch star is really pretty to use embossing paste with. I colored the paste really light blue, it doesn't show in the pictures but up close you can see it. I only wish I would have poured some glitter embossing powder on top. I didn't think about that until I was done with the card. The stamp I got from Ebay and I have no idea what brand it is but it comes with a few others that are just as cute. I silver embossed it on vellum and cut it out by hand. I really like white on white for winter themed cards.

Thank you for visiting today, there is a lot of posts this week. I've been busy as a bee :)

Seasons greetings

For the WOW and Ruby rock-it bloghop, klick here.

I was in the zone the other night, making Christmas cards and listening to a good audio book. I was going to make one card for a DT post later this week but I ended up making three. For this I used a couple of Hero Arts stamps and the deer head cut file I created for Pretty Crafty Stuff. When I made it I saw it in my head all gold embossed and 3d mounted with threads behind. I love the deer head trend. I also made a raindeer, a fox and a bunny to keep him company.

Anyways, I wanted to frame him så I stamped a background from Hero Arts and just masked the middle of the card using a PostIt. It's very pretty this card, don't you think? I never get my gold thread as perfectly nested as other people do, mine looks all messy and uneven. But I keep trying. One day I'll learn.

Thanks for stopping by! There will be more Christmas in the blog soon. Promise! And I don't even send out Christmas cards, more than to the closest family. But I'm in a Cristmas-y mood lately.
