DOUBLE FLOATING POP UP CARD - PLUS how to make a rabbit from simple shapes!

 

I got totally carried away making this one! I bought a gift for a new baby girl and when I got it home, I decided to make a coordinating card.

You can see my new video here

I hope you enjoy watching both how I made the floating pop up part and also how I used some simple shapes to make a little rabbit. I'd love to see more people using their punches and dies more creatively. In fact, you could easily hand cut the shapes I used in this one :)

Thanks so much for watching.

EASY Coffee Dyed Papers for Junk Journals and Card Making and more...

I have been having great fun using coffee to dye paper from some junk journals which I hope to make soon and decided to make a video to show my process. I hope you enjoy watching how I used the papers to make a card too.

You can see the video here 

I used my coffee in a spray bottle but you can definitely submerge your papers in coffee in a basin or container. 

I'd love to know what you think of coffee dyeing. If you have time, please pop over to my YouTube and have a look.

Easy Pop Up Gingerbread Hugs Card - NO DIES NEEDED

 

I showed a card similar to this one in passing in my last video and some of my subscribers asked if I'd show how to make it. I have made my sample from dies but have shown in my video how it's very quickly and easily made without using dies at all.

I hope you enjoy watching :)

Make an Easy Double Pop Out Card!

Hello again :) It's been a long time since I uploaded a video

I thought I'd like to share how I made this Double Pop Out card and I hope you like it.

It's a lot easier to make than it looks.

I got the inspiration for this card from

Happy Christmas

Wishing all my friends a happy Christmas. I know it's a difficult time for many of you not just this year but every year and I hope you have a peaceful time.

I made this card 11 years ago for my (late) mother and found it again in a box where she had saved all the cards etc that I had made her over the years. This year again, I've been delivering cards and calling with friends and have been so touched to see many of you have little collections of my cards which you have kept over the years. One friend had a collection going back almost 20 years, and even had quite a lot of decorations on her tree which I had given to her over the years. It brought back many memories as I had a cuppa with her (and added to her collection, of course!) I haven't made many cards this year so I have been deeply touched to know that not everyone throws their handmade card in the bin.....

As many of you know, I haven't posted any YouTube videos since February and I want to take this opportunity to say a massive Thank You to all of you who have sent so many messages. It has actually been overwhelming to get such a constant stream of messages on my channel, blog, FB, messenger, Pinterest, email and text. This is something I definitely didn't expect. I thought I'd slip off quietly and only a few would notice. However, I'm still getting such lovely messages. I haven't been able to answer them all but I hope to continue to work through them. They have meant the world to me!

Just a thought....maybe in the New Year I'll make occasional videos showing you ideas with simple tools and things you may already have as these have been popular in the past.

JUSTINE'S FARM COLLECTION by SPELLBINDERS

 

These are 3 cards which I made using the beautiful new "Justine's Farm Collection by Spellbinders.

I adored the sheer simplicity of how the BetterPress images turned out. You could leave them without even colouring for a classic look, colour them with a variety of mediums or hot foil them in the Glimmer System.

I decided to use Bibi's Intense Liquid Colors to watercolour mine and I hope you like the results. You can see the full collection and also how I made these cads in my video 

Thanks so much for looking :)
