Joanna Sheen Girly Lace Stamp samples with FREEBIE

 Joanna Sheen's new Girly Lace stamps were designed by me.  You can purchace them either on C&C website or from the Joanna Sheen Shop where she does worldwide postage

I really enjoyed the show this morning - what fab demos Joanna did live on air. 

You can see another show later today at 5 pm with Joanna on Create and Craft TV

There are so many ways to use these stamps... here are the sample cards I made for Joanna.

 

For this 8 x 8" card I created a stamped background with the rose designs using Tim Holtz distress ink. I used the Tied together embossing folder with black card for the edges with black gems.

The 'suspenders' above and below the image are actually 'D' rings with ribbon, I coloured the rings with a black promarker pen.  I stamped the bodice onto acetate  with stazon, and also onto watercolour paper.  I coloured in the watercolour paper image using distress inks  then layered the acetate over the top.

  

 This card grew as I made it Lol!   The wrap is vellum stamped with the rose stamp.  The card underneath is white with coloured black edges with a promarker pen. The bottom flap is an additional piece of card folded, stamped and stuck to the back panel so that all 3 sides join to create the pocket for the card.  I used the Frog fastner stamps to thread ribbon.. stamping white onto black card and cutting them out.  I used a hole punch to make neat holes to thread the ribbon. I also thought that the frog fastner was great to pull the card out with, so I stuck them together back to back at the top.

 For the card inside the pocket I stamped the bodice onto vellum twice embossing with white embossing powder. I cut out the rose and bow from one for layers.  I used the Aqua promarker pen to colour the back of the vellum to give a pretty glow then used a ball tool to emboss from the back adding tiny white raised details. I did this to the cut out bow and rose aswell. I glittered parts to add more sparkle.  I covered a panel of card with some tulle netting and white ribbon down the middle and glued the bodice with pinflair glue.  The lovely lace border on the sheet was stamped with gilded ivory powder on black card.  For each side of the  frills, I stamped the frilly stamp twice in a line embossing again with white powder, cut them out and dry embossed on the back to add texture. Both these frills were stuck onto the card before adding the bodice topper. I used some black glitter to highlight the ribbon on the frilly borders.

 I adaped an old template to make the screen from one A4 piece of card, inking it lightly to age it a little.  The bodice stand is a FREEBIE for anyone that would like to use it and is available at the end of this post to download.

I stamped the bodice twice, one onto patterned paper embossing both.  I cut out the patterned panels and paper pieced them onto the bodice.  a promarker coloured the other parts.  I puched tiny holes to thread the thin ribbon using the big bite  then made a rose from ribbon (not a very good one, my first attempt LOL).. and a bow.  As you can see I stamped the boots, embossing with red powder. The glitzy edgeing are sparkle fibres.  I added tiny 1.5mm gems to the front .. that took ages Lol!

 There are lots of places where you can get this idea and templates for side step cards on the web.. I added 3 rectangles, an embossed top panel and used one of my nesties to draw around and cut out the bottom of the chest of drawers.  Little gems make pretty knobs.  The mirror was created with spellbinders lable No.10 with an oval cut out and mirror board.  The bodice has been stamped and coloured with promarker pens. I've used a glue pen to add foiling detail to the spots and the panels. The boots were stamped twice.. the lace part was embossed with white cut out and paper pieced onto the black stamped boot.

For this card I stamped the lace border from the Live each moment stamp sheet directly onto the card down each side with black versafine ink.   I am a big fan of paper piecing the bodice because it adds so much more that just colouring it in.  I've used two extra stamped bodices, one on blue pattern paper and one onto a matching beige colour.  the top part has been coloured with Asure promarker pen, I've also coloured the sides of the card with the same colour.  I've  created gold dots using a glue pen and gold foil.

Here's the FREEBIE  for you.  You should be able to print it out, cut out and use.  I have tried to make it the exact size to hang the bodice onto.

here it is.. click onto the picture and save to your computer.

~FREEBIE~ A Palace for you

With all the Jubilee celebrations last weekend I thought I'd use some of the  images and papers that seem to be free  in all the craft magazines at the moment.

I wanted to use the Iron Gates stamp that I designed for Joanna sheen on the Country House stamp sheet , I needed a Palace to go with the gates so I drew this one on the computer.

Please feel free to click on the image, click view image to save the PNG.  It will print out approx  8" wide, or smaller if you wish.

Here's a card I made using the image and the Iron Gates from the Country House stamp sheet

To make this card I first printed out the Palace and coloured it with promarker pens. Then I stamped the gates using versamark ink adding gold embossing powder to the tips of the gate and black to the rest of them.. I stamped and cut out the stone gate posts and stuck them next to the gate.  I used one of my spellbinder nesties to draw around and cut out the shape and mounted it onto black card.   The pretty bunting is a freebie from Crafts Beautiful magazine. 

I made the roses using a spiral die, cutting them out of buckrum.. they are so easy to make and look gorgeous on cards or other projects.

 Thank you for visiting my blog today I hope you like the Freebie.

LIM Week 67 One layer card

It's been ages since I made a card for the LIM blog challenge.  I have a bit of free time on my hands and decided to have a go.   I really enjoyed making this card for this week's one layer card using just 3 stamps.  I used 3 stamps from the sheet Joanna Sheen Knitting stamps., I have used one of the new spring colour distress inks by Tim Holtz - Peacock feathers...it's a gorgeous colour.

Here's my card for this week...

I stampted the Home sweet home heart directly onto the card first, masked it and the margins each side so that I could stamp the 2 borders in the same colour.  It would look really lovely in different colours too so I might have a go at that later.

Thank you for looking today

Cameo meets Anna Griffin

Here are some cards I made with the Lace and Cameo stamps with some of my stash.

I used some of the lovely Anna Griffin frame and quote stamps when they were on QVC a while ago.  The backing paper used on this card is from the Thomas Kinkade CD... there are some gorgeous backing papers on this fab CD collection that I use all the time. I used the square lattice embossing folder by SU for the cream panel.. I love this folder because I love the texture.  The Lace is from the Live each moment stamp sheet stamped onto cream paper with aged mahogony Tim Holtz distress ink.  Those lovely Roses are from a lovely pack of Anna Griffin Rose 3D stickers ... I love those Lol...

 Another similar card here but using the Tied together embossing folder inked one side on the folder with TH Antique linen before running through my cuttlebug.. I love this effect, it's so soft. I used two layers of white embossed lace that I coloured after with ink .. adding a bow from the same Live each moment Lace stamp sheet and two gorgeous Anna Griffin yellow 3D Rose stickers.

For this card I stamped one of the Cameos onto black card and embossed with Gilded Ivory embossing powder then die cut the cameo using a spellbinders oval die.  I then stamped one of the lovely Anna Griffin oval frames using the same embossing powder - layering the cameo over the frame.  Using a small 4" doily and some lovely black patterned card (which is card from packaging that I had to save!).. to tone down the white card I inked the edges using TH Antique linen ink.  Quite a simple card to make but I think looks fab!

I did the cameo the same way as above but stamped onto cream card and then inked it green...for the frame I inked TH Bundled sage green on the outside of frame and TH weathered wood in the inside.  I added some lace from the Take one step lace stamp sheet that was stamped and embossed with seafoam white and inked with the TH bundled sage green... this is layered over some  gorgeous  backing paper from the Ivory cats CD

This Card using the same technique used above to create this kind of cameo but this time using shades of pink ink to create the coloured cameo   The gorgeous backing paper is from the lovely Ivory cats CD.

Thank you for visiting my blog today... See you soon..

Joanna Sheen - Cameo Rubber Stamps

Joanna Sheen - Cameo Rubber Stamps

My new Cameo stamp designs for Joanna Sheen are being launched on Creat and Craft tomorrow (Saturday 21st April) at 12 Noon GMT.. You can view it live on the C&C website if you don't have the TV Channel.

Sample cards from todays show...

Jo Channon was on todays shows on Create and craft.  One of the products she lauched was the lovely Mandala stamps from Joanna Sheen 

I was asked to make cards for two of the sheets.. here they are..

The first three are from the Madras Magic sheet

Stanmped with white embossing powder, inked with distress inks, decopaged with added sequins. Rose was stamped and embossed with white and inked and then rolled.

 Stamped onto vellum and embossed with white powder then coloured on back with promarker pens.. Flower made up of 12 individual leaves and centre of mandala.

 I was inspired by a tutorial I found on the web when I created this card. I used the little birdy motif from the stamp sheet to decorate my tiles. To find out how I created the faux Delph tile - click here  The Jug is my own shape stamped and embossed and inked. The Daffodils are from Joanna Sheen's pressed flower stamps..

...and these are from the Balti Night sheet.....

 Still inspired by the card above I decided to create more tiles onto coated card - inking them and stamping the mandala and embossing with copper powder.

 Inking the stamp with different colours creates the multi colour background. The bright orange strip paper is from DCWV.

 I drew a rough shape of an elephent to cut around and then added the decorated pieces that I stamped, embossed and coloured and added a few gems. I used a versamark pen and gilded Ivory embossing powder to add the extra sparkly bits around the feet, head and near the tail. If you like this card and would like to have a go at decorating your own elephent here is the elephant template for you to use.

Thanks for visiting... there will be more samples to come over the weekend from some  stamps I designed for Joanna Sheen...watch this space!!...
