Butterfly Rose ATC By Kim Dellow

Hey all, Kim Dellow here, nope, don't worry it isn't Tuesday and you haven't somehow skipped the weekend!

I missed my slot so am posting today instead and if you want my long rambling, sorrowful excuse then pop on over to my blog. *Sigh* and *D'oh!* But I didn't want to burden you guys with it here so let's get on with this week's make shall we?

It is a feminine ATC using the IndigoBlu Ledger Background stamp and papers from the Cosmo Cricket Evangeline papers.

I've cut the butterfly out from one of the papers again and the dots are made using a seam tracing wheel and an ink pad.

Well, hopefully see you on Tuesday in my usual slot.

Have a lovely rest of your weekend.

Butterfly Sampler By Kim Dellow

Time for a new make from me, Kim Dellow, here on the Clare Curd Crafts Blog. This week I've gone back to the ATC and made a cute little Butterfly sampler.

So you can probably guess what products I've used can't you? The papers and butterfly are all from the Cosmo Cricket Evangeline paper pack and the stamping is the Indigoblu Ledger background stamp.

Don't forget that the Cosmo Cricket Evangeline papers are still on special offer so get them whilst they are cheap!

Have a creative day.

Hiya crafty friends,

Phew! Where did the week go?

Well, I'm sat here writing this post, blurry eyed and looking at the clock, which says 3 minutes past midnight. And looking very similar to this owl...lol!

This is a great quote from the IndigoBlu Wild Meadow stamps set. Which I find quite inspiring. I used it as the main focal point of the card, as it is perfect to give a friend or loved one to show your support.

I LOVE this paisley embossing folder (and even better it is A4 size!!!), which I used on some patterned paper from the 'My Minds EYE Vintage Christmas' 6x6 pad. Which I then lightly sanded to give an aged look. The strips of paper are from the same pad and are off cuts from a project I made at Christmas (we crafters don't like to throw anything away, do we).

 

Clare Curds Crafts has an amazing array of ribbon. And this red satin ribbon is gorgeous!!

The stickers used are from the 'My Minds EYE Vintage Christmas' 12x12 sticker sheet. It's great when you can use Christmas stash at other times of the year too.

 

You know me...I have to add a tiny gem or pearl somewhere :)

 

I'm really pleased how the sanding of the embossed areas turned out on this paper.

 

For the final layer, I used the same embossing folder to emboss some pearlised paper.

As always, thanks for popping by and see you next week

Thank You Roses By Kim Dellow

Hi guys, Kim Dellow here again with a Thank You card.

I went with a bit of a collage and stamping theme for my make and I've used the IndigoBlu Ledger Background stamp and cut out the roses and letters from the Cosmo Cricket Evangeline papers.

Thank you for popping in.

Kim

Hello, it's a quick and very simple card from me today. I do love working with lots of paints and layers but sometimes I like clean lines and simplicity.

 

I drew and cut out the musical note and applied a good coat of FlitterGlu. I then added a layer of the Mega Flakes in Royal Peacock. I rubbed over the flakes with  Scoochy foam to remove the excess.

 

 

I was going to just put the note straight onto my card base but it looked too plain, so I drew some musical staves and some notes.

 

I added my wording and we were done

 

I love the shine you get on the mega flakes.

 

Till the same time next week, bye x

 

Star ATC By Kim Dellow

Hi guys Kim Dellow here with another make and this week it is an ATC.

I've used the Cosmo Cricket Evangeline papers for the background and the IndigoBlu Ledger Background stamp for the star, with a little doodle lettering for fun as well.

Hope you are having a good week.

Kim

Rose Bubbles By Kim Dellow

Hi Guys, Kim Dellow here, I thought I would go for something light and bubbly for my first make of the Year.

It is an ATC and it uses the Cosmo Cricket Evangeline Patterned Paper Mini Deck with the IndigoBlu Bubbles Background. 

Hope that you had a wonderful New Year by the way!

Kim

Happy New Year By Kim Dellow

Hi All, Kim Dellow here with an inky New Year make for you.

I've used a read and blue ink pad on the IndigoBlu Ledger stamp to make the background. The sentiment comes from the IndigoBlu I Wish You a Merry Christmas Mounted Dinkie Stamp. 

Happy New Year!

Kim

snowflake box

Hi everyone, I was a little stumped this week with what to make but that soon solved itself when I came across a lovely little box template whilst trawling Pintrest. The template for this box is available on Extreme Cards blog.

 

I started out printing off the template and because the card  I wanted to use was too thick for my printer I drew around the template.

 

I then carefully cut the pattern out.

 

Next step is to score along all the lines and fold them.

 

Now glue the sides together and stick the bottom onto the box. I also cut another piece to put inside the box to give me extra support on the base.

 

You should now be able to close your box and the lovely snowflake will appear.

 



Now to decorate! I used the pretty snowflake stamps from the Winter Critters set of stamps. I stamped them in Flitter Glu and then applied Mega Flakes in Royal Peacock

 

I then cut this piece into six small pieces to attach on the sides of the box.

I finally added a little glitter to the snowflakes and to the large snowflake on the top of the box.

 

Hope you like this little box, I think a few on the Christmas dinner table with after dinner mints in would be a nice touch.

 

 

Christmas Panel By Kim Dellow

Hi Guys, Kim Dellow here again with a Christmas panel. It can be turned into a card, or home decoration or even a tag.

I've embossed the IndigoBlu I Wish You a Merry Christmas Mounted Dinkie Stamp with white powder on a Dylusions ink spray Red background. 

Thanks for popping in.

Kim

It's getting closer!

It's hard to believe that in three weeks the big day will be here! It only seems like a couple of weeks  have gone by since summer!!

 

My piece for Clare Curd Crafts DT blog this week is a mixed media wall hanging, and with Christmas been so close I made it a little seasonal.

 

 

I used a piece of mount board as my base, and firstly covered it in tissue paper to get some good texture. This was then coated in a layer of gesso, and then lots of layers of acrylic paints. Some stamping was added and some bubble wrap-applied paint.

 

Then I added some areas of Flitter Glu and Mega Flakes in Royal Peacock

The small snowflakes and the robin are from the Winter Critters stamp set

 

 

My girl is paper pieced and then paint added to give some depth.

 

 

 

How cute is that robin

 

See you next week x
