Double Wonder - Parisian Blossom

I really couldn't help buy have yet another play with the Double Wonder sheet. If you haven't seen my previous post on this fantastic technique (which you can find HERE) you really must take a look.

So last time I used the From my Heart designer series paper and this time I went with the gorgeous Parisian Blossom paper.

I again teamed all this gorgeous paper with the Share the Sunshine digital stamp set that Stampin' Up have recently released.

Because the original design of the Double Wonder was created with American A4 in mind, I have changed up the measurements to suit our A4. I have updated the template tutorial for you, which you can download from HERE.

I really do love how these cards came out and think the Double Wonder layouts are fantastic. I can't wait to get some new papers from the 2020 Annual catalogue so I can use them with this fun technique.

Happy Crafting,

Scan N Cut Tutorial: How to cut around stamped images - Bloom and Grow

I'm sharing another super simple tutorial on what I really use my Scan N Cut for, 90% of the time. And that is to cut around my stamped images that I don't have dies for.

This really is the main reason for my purchase of this machine and the scanning function is what sold this elecrtic cutter over all the others.

This tutorial is simple, easy and saves me so much time. especially at Christmas time when I may be mass producing cards.

As always, the stamps, inks, embellishments and pattern paper that I share in these videos can all be purchased, through me, at my online store.

I also get asked a lot about this awesome mat that I have been using in my videos. It is called an Artistix Direct mat and it comes from a company in the UK. I honestly can't tell you how this mat has changed my Scan N Cut experience for the better and even though I have gone through 5 Brother mats, within 3 months, I have had this one Artistix Mat for almot 6 months and it is still as good as the first time I used it. And yes the do sell a mat for the DX version too. I also have now got 5 other friends onto these mats and they can't believe the difference.

So head over to the website and check them out for yourself, it will be the best thing you buy yourself, I promise!!:  https://www.artistixdirect.com/brother.html.

Global Design Project 200 - Piece of Cake

What an amazing milestone to have hit and celebrate. Huge congratulations to all the talented crafters over at the Global Design Project, for hitting their 200th Challenge. That is pretty amazing. And to celebrate, this week we Casing the Designer which is the awesome Janneke De Jong.

I kept my card pretty close to the original design because I love Janneke's work and how can you improve on perfection!

I'm really pleased how the blended strip came out and have to admit I did create a few different colours, some I'm sure you'll see on my up coming cards. And it's so simple to do too. You will need some masking tape or painters tape and I've been using make up brushes to do my blending as I find they really help to get a nice even layer. Maybe I should do a video to demonstrate... hmmm food for thought.

It's hard to see on the male version of the card but the end of the blended strip is actually using gold metallic Encore ink. I miss using these gorgeous inks but the good news is there is something similar in the NEW Holiday catty, so it made me dig my old ones out for a bit of a play. I also added some metallic frost shimmer paint as a subtle splatter.

The blends got a work out, colouring the cute little cakes and I do love that we have a coordinating punch, so I only had to fussy cut the candles.

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check out the Global Design Project design teams cards, as t
hey are gorgeous!

Happy Crafting,
