InspireINK Blog Hop- Sketch challenge

Hello, and welcome to my part of the InspireINK Blog Hop.  

This time the challenge is to make something using this sketch -

Sketches are a great way of kick-starting the old crafting mojo when it's gone to sleep.  The design is there for you to start from, and you can either follow it closely or adapt it as you see fit.

I stuck pretty closely to the sketch this time.  The sketch shows a stitched edge around the tag and after some thought, I managed to make it happen by cutting a stitched rectangle and then putting the die at an angle across one end of the cut-out piece, like this - 

(There will be a tutorial - check my YouTube channel in the next few days!) 

I'm having too much fun with the heat-embossed resist technique and I couldn't stop myself from using it (I was going to say I couldn't resist using it, but that would have been going too far, don't you think?) 

So back to the hop and to see what the rest of the crafty crew have been up to!  

Keep crafting,

Keren

Sailing Away

Hello and welcome!

Something a bit different today – a scrapbook page.

The beauty of scrapbooking is that you get to play with your lovely supplies, AND you get to keep the finished article, so it’s win-win! 

I’ve made an 8 x 8 inch page, which is large enough to show off a fair sized photo but isn’t so big that getting started is a daunting prospect.  (And there are ways of making use of the space that you have to include extra photos and some journaling, so you needn’t be limited to one photo unless you want!)

 

Stampin’ Up! Memories and More card packs are designed with pocket scrapbooking in mind. You get a lot of different designs that co-ordinate with one of the suites and some specialty items as well (like cardstock stickers).  The packs are useful for so many other crafty projects – think how quickly you could make a card! 

I combined items from the card pack with other bits from the Come Sail Away suite.  Here’s the video –

Don’t forget, the new 2019-20 catalogue is open for business!  You can shop with me by clicking the link on the left hand side of this page (and you can get an online copy of the catalogue from the link at the bottom of the page).

Keep crafting,

Sail Away Shadow box card

Hello and welcome to my blog. 

Today I've made a shadow box card using items from the Just Sail Away suite. 

I'm a bit of a pushover for anything with a nautical theme and this ticks all the right boxes for me! 

I decided to use the shadow box part as a way of displaying a photo. I thought it would be a nice way of sharing a memory. 

Here's how I made the card. 

OK, I know I'm teasing you with products from the new catalogue, but it won't be long now before everyone can order the new goodies! Don't forget to ask your Demonstrator for your copy! 

Keep crafting,
