How to make a card using minimal supplies - Live Craft Tutorial

 

We have a fun new video on our YouTube Channel today showing how I made this cute card with the Ewe Are the Best stamp and coordinating die set.

This is a great card to show how you can make something awesome with minimal supplies.

Other than my alcohol markers, glue and card stock, all I used to make this card was the stamp and coordinating die set and one stencil to create my background.

I added some images from the Love Is In The Air stamp and coordinating die set, but this is optional.

Watch the video replay on our YouTube Channel below to see how I coloured the grass and fence and to see how I put the final design together.

Don't forget to tune into HobbyMaker on Sky 670 Sunday 4th June at 2pm to see Jo demoing the You're Engaged and Just Married Stamps and Dies.

3 Card Ideas with One Stamp set - New Video

 

Watch our latest video on YouTube or Facebook to discover 3 ideas using one stamp set.

Hi Tea Timers!

Jo here with some more weekly inspiration. This week I used one stamp set to give you 3 different card ideas.

I used a combination of ideas that I shared during the Live to make my final project.

This was a super simple card to create.

The background was created with our Pretty Pastels Paper Pad.

The window is from the Purrfect Day Scene Builder Dies and the cactus from the Home is Where the Heart is stamp set.

I added all the images I'd coloured and die cut from the Loads of Love stamp set. I added some to the shelf and the cactus to the window sill. I love how many ways the washing machine can be put together to make it interactive.  

I finished the design off with the die cut sentiment 'with you, even chores are fun'.

You can watch the video in full via the link below including the other 2 card ideas.

I hope you enjoy this video and the card ideas.

See you for the next one.

New Video - Making a Card for Ant's upcoming surgery!

 

Hi, I'm back with another Live Craft With Me video on YouTube and Facebook.

This week my theme was chosen by Ant who is feeling decidedly sorry for himself after a series of injuries.

Not only is Ant booked in for some major surgery on his hip this summer, but he continues to play 5 A-Side football and keeps injuring himself!! 

So his theme was to make a card for someone who's been injured and needed cheering up!

I decided to make something that wasn't just a 'get well' style of card. I wanted to send him some love from us all.

The new Ewe Are Moovellous set seemed to be perfect for the occasion. I teamed my cute herd with a sentiment from the new Oops A Daisy stamp set too to create my own bespoke sentiment.

I really felt like doing some ink blending so created my background with the Waves Cover Die and inked up different shades for the fields and sky using my large blender brushes. I added loads of splatters with water and ink which I absolutely love!

I adhered some elements with glue and some with foam tape to create a mix of dimension.

Please do watch the video link below to see all the steps in real time, including colouring of the cute cow and barn.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel too as it helps others see our videos.

I look forward to crafting with you again on the 26th May (we are going out next Friday which is unheard off :) so we will be back the following week).

Happy Coronation Day!! New Video Tutorial

Happy Coronation Day & Happy Scrapbooking Day!!

Last night's Live on YouTube and Facebook was inspired by the Coronation.

I really enjoyed this colour scheme and changing our Queen for the Day stamp into one fit for a King.

I used the Celebrate Large Scalloped Dies and the Movie Star Stencil that are also in our Coronation Sale.

The card base is slightly bigger than my usual A6 size. I cut down a 5x7 card blank to leave a border around the largest of the scallop die cuts.

I used colours of red, white and blue in the spirit of the Coronation. This made it really easy to make sure the whole image coordinated. I would recommend using 3 main colours when planning your card projects. It prevents things looking too busy and keeps things really cohesive.

The celebrate sentiment is part of the Scalloped Die set. I cut this from gold glitter card and mounted on fun foam to give it dimension.

I took the sentiment from Queen For The Day and masked off the word 'Queen'. I then used the Tippy Tappy Typewriter stamps to create the word 'KING' in it's place.

I also stamped another crowned kitty. I used blue and red Memento ink to stamp these images and the stars from two other sets ion our sale; Santa Stop Here and The Details.

You can watch the replay on YouTube here.

Don't forget to check out our Coronation Sale. 70% OFF selected items. Ends midnight Monday 8th May.

Have a great Bank Holiday.

New Video - How to Make a Card with Secret Gift Card Flip Up!

 

I absolutely love how this card turned out!

As usual I didn't really know what I intended to do during the Live. I just knew that I wanted to make a Gift Card holder for my Mum's birthday to go with the birthday card I had already made.

I used the Happy Mail Gift Card Holder Die set which is now on sale in our Retiring Collection.

This die set has the die mechanism to cut the gift card holder and the flip up panel that I used in this card.

I decorated the front with the Purrfect Day Stamps and the Pawsome Rainbows Pattern Paper.

Here is the gift card holder element in action. This is a really fun project to try and such a simple way to make a gift card look more personalised.

I hope you give it a try!

New Video - Lovely Bear - Large Dimensional Sentiment & Cute Bear Card

 We have a fun new video on our YouTube Channel today showing how I made this cute card with the Love Intertwined Die and one of the adorable characters from the Hey There Critters Stamp set.

The Love Intertwined Die is great for paper piecing but I decided to leave just as a frame. I layered it 4 times to add some easy dimension.

The background is so gorgeous, stencilled with the Flirty Flowers stencil. Those flowers are made up of little hearts and it totally has mine! 💟💟

I finished my card with some of our Enamel Dots and Glossy Accents to add shine to my balloon! Super cute!

You can watch all the crafty fun in the Live Replay below!
