Hi Everyone!!!
Its been a while since my last blog post, so thought I'd pop by and share some of the samples I made for the new launch of crafty individuals. These were launched on the craft store on 4th June but will soon be available from the Crafty Individuals website. I wont be listing instructions for these samples just a brief description.
I have a couple of favs from this collection- one of which is the counting down background stamp. You’ll notice I’ve used this on most of these cards, although it might only be lightly stamped. I think this is one stamp I'll be using allot!
Another one of my favs would have to be the seagull. He’s a really cheeky chap that’ll go so well with so many stamps.
Here I stamped him on a piece of card coloured with watercolours and distress inks and mounted onto a piece of MDF to make a little wall hanging.
I kept this next card really simple - I don't really use background papers much as I prefer to create my own backgrounds. However so many of the papers from
The Seaside background paper book work so well with this stamp. I've used it on a couple of cards and will be be making a few more up very soon.
As you can see I've used another background paper from the same pack on this card but inked the edges. I also used the
'of the sea' boat stamp along with another seagull from
CI-397.
Anyone for a lovely Shrewsbury biscuit? Really must have ago at making some actually as they sound lovely. Some of the other crafty individuals design team members shared a couple of recipes on our group chat so I'm looking forward to giving that ago. They're such a lovely bunch and you really must check out their blogs- I'll see if I can find a way of sharing links to them very soon.
Anyway made this coaster by stamping the Shrewsbury biscuit stamp along with the daisies from
CI-226. Coloured with watercolour pens and distress inks. I then foiled the edges and placed in a plastic coaster blank.
I've really enjoyed making wooden plaques lately as you can see from this post I've made a few. Again this was stamped onto white card, then mounted on some dusky pink and burgundy card and applied to the mdf.
For this card I fussy cut the cups of tea out and thought I'd use 2 together as it would be great for sending to friends whom you share cups of tea with. For the back ground I randomly stamped the text from the teacup stamp in distress ink.
Next up is this super cute little Robin stamp. This is so versatile and can actually be coloured in to make it look like a blue tit or even a sparrow. This one has also been mounted onto mdf and stamped with
CI-556.
For this next card I just had to mix the Robin with the new toadstool stamp, so I stamped and fussy cut both images, drew the twigs at the bottom of the toadstools then created a scenic background. I also used
CI-207 and
CI-361
Slightly bolder look with this one. Here you can see the counting down background stamp much clearer.
And now for a slightly vintage themed card. I always think it's amazing how different the image can look. For this one I also used the grasses from
CI-207 and butterflies from
CI-437.
The following stamps we're re-launched alongside the new ones.
Created an inky background and stamped counting down lightly in the background.
I recently ordered this gorgeous
Starry frame border die made by crafty individuals and couldn't wait to use it. I snipped it about abit and placed it behind each corner.
Can you spot the counting down background stamp again on card?
The barbed wire is from the same set as the tree branches
CI-361I stamped and embossed the barbed wire with silver embossing powder to give it a more realistic look. I also added some foiling to the edges.
Of course I just had to make an insert for the phone case using the wolf. This is so simple to do just cut a piece of card to fit inside a clear phone case and stamp away! I added a few glitter specs for the stars.
I absolutely love kingfishers but have never been lucky enough to see one.
For this card I used the same stamps as mentioned above but decided to play about with stamping on Kraft card.
Thank you for joining me and I look forward to seeing some of your makes with all the new stamps. If your not already on our Facebook group make sure you join and share all your lovely makes using the crafty individuals stamps.
