<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the result of my first go at a mixed media canvas. Been wanting to have a go at this for ages and really enjoyed making this. Really pleased with how this has turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have put a bit of "How to Make" below with some photos I took along the way. Some of the products used were stash from my cupboards and some I have had for years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Draw around the shaped canvas onto 300gsm card and cut out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Decide where you want to tears around the edges. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A spray of water will make this easier and help the card to curl.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut a heart shape from grey board. Emboss pieces of white card with Crafter's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Companion 3D Regency Swirls folder and attach to the heart in a patchwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add dots of liquid pearls at the joins and secure to the canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now start to add embellishments. I found some small MDF butterflies and some flowers made from paper clay and silicone moulds I made ages ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also added some hearts and swirls die-cut from mount board and added dots of liquid pearls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally I have added some different sizes of Mixed Media Artsy Stone in small clumps around the edges. I used quite a lot of Mod Podge to hold these in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you are happy with all the embellishments paint over everything with white Gesso. You may need extra coats of Gesso over some areas such as the MDF to make everything the same colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for some colour! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a mixture of paints found in the cupboard in shades of blue, purple and pink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint the insides of the tears and the heart in the middle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pain the rest of the background with a neutral creamy shade (forgot picture!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now add colour to the other embellishments and textured areas. Use the colours lightly on the background and try to blend with the background colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add some areas of shadow under the embellishments using a black pen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and pulling out the colour with a damp brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Crafter's,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a box I have made for the launch of the <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/collections/sara-signature-collection/glamour-collection.html" target="_blank">Sara Signature Glamour Collection</a>. Some of you may have seen this on the launch shows on <a href="https://www.hochanda.com/" target="_blank">Hochanda</a> and I think there have been a few requests for a tutorial on how it was made. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This may be quite a long post with lots of photos, but I hope you are able to follow my guide!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you didn't see this on TV, this is the inside of the box.</div>

Hi everybody,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my DT card made with one of the new Create-a Card dies from <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love this Owl! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make this card you will need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>From Crafter's Companion</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Die’sire Create A Card – What A Hoot & With Love dies</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
To make this card I have die-cut the What a Hoot die into the front of a diorama card black and trimmed away the centre (save the owl in one piece) to leave some flowers and leaves around the edges, added a few tiny pearls and cut a frame from matt gold card. Cut the owl die again from a piece of kraft card and colour the flowers and leaves with Distress inks, Matt onto black card and attach to the back of the diorama blank. Trim around the saved owl and colour with Vintage Photo ink, attach to matt gold card, trim around the edges and add to the back of the card with 3D glue. Glue the two piece of the diorama card together at he tabs. Die-cut the With love sentiment twice and use the waste letters to add the sentiment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Hope you like this lovely owl too.</div>

I have made a large box using the brand new Everyday Create-a-Card dies and Card Blanks. The box comes with three Diorama cards and three Gatefold cards ready for you to send, and ten gift tags and ribbon. I have also included a few of the new card blanks for you to decorate yourself.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a very long time since I blogged and need to get back to posting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thought I would start with this Suspended T-cup which I made recently for my Mum's Birthday - she loved it (hope you do too)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitC0NqYFqDjN6uBuCEoPfS6yYScZZt0uLsNIyMMN7tNxs8BeyTj9rE8BnCYx2hD3Be5lQKhO5F7eYT459z3uHW0Vs1NlpNrcJqKMPa1XZ0gMRVyRea1kriWeUBcmIJ9gSe96TnpdGtE28/s1600/teacup+finished+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitC0NqYFqDjN6uBuCEoPfS6yYScZZt0uLsNIyMMN7tNxs8BeyTj9rE8BnCYx2hD3Be5lQKhO5F7eYT459z3uHW0Vs1NlpNrcJqKMPa1XZ0gMRVyRea1kriWeUBcmIJ9gSe96TnpdGtE28/s400/teacup+finished+2.png" width="371" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These floating T-cups are easier to make than they may look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few pictures to show how I made this one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgECmS08SRtBv4jQ27RkHaRRGxDH37S2dg8m-p9dLtDD6kejfg1mLxgK9oj6Tt7aC7GWQs4UKDarf2c1F1kaT3lASEnH5eZUKzSgzhdI_Is7BmkY20mNEVn8WCe8QAc5RS1Y9IuYg8X4lM/s1600/teacup+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgECmS08SRtBv4jQ27RkHaRRGxDH37S2dg8m-p9dLtDD6kejfg1mLxgK9oj6Tt7aC7GWQs4UKDarf2c1F1kaT3lASEnH5eZUKzSgzhdI_Is7BmkY20mNEVn8WCe8QAc5RS1Y9IuYg8X4lM/s320/teacup+1.png" width="242" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start you need a pretty cup and saucer and an old fork. You need to bend the fork so that the prongs can be glued to the saucer and the handle glued to the inside of the cup - afraid I forgot to take a photo of this. I used a hot glue gun to stick the fork in place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next you need to cover the fork with something like dried moss or dried grass used by florists. Again I have attached this with a glue gun and you need enough to hide the fork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBwzxcCzdmYksXPDPNuY9ANuosopTgK9w2AqvYiLfdR6r_sVd6gT4hH5D2IuJ0RMKlzLr7PV5zln5vbTuH4pZrjktPvLsvauugmYOTkk5T940r0QUAPQC6MeEuz7iqJCsX9pTm16Jq80w/s1600/teacup+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBwzxcCzdmYksXPDPNuY9ANuosopTgK9w2AqvYiLfdR6r_sVd6gT4hH5D2IuJ0RMKlzLr7PV5zln5vbTuH4pZrjktPvLsvauugmYOTkk5T940r0QUAPQC6MeEuz7iqJCsX9pTm16Jq80w/s320/teacup+2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I have die-cut quite a lot of flowers from different shades of pink card and inked the edges of the petals with distress inks. You will also need some leaves cut from green card. After inking the edges the flowers have been shaped and layered together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you ready to meet the Scruffy Little Kittens? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my samples from the new Scruffy Little Kitten CD from <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/?gclid=CPXEyYf_7cUCFYXItAodd0EAcQ" target="_blank">Crafter's Companion</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cards are aimed at men - always difficult to do - so no frills! The die set is from Memory Box called <a href="http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/memorybox.htm" target="_blank">Meadowbird Branch</a>. You get a small bird, and four dies which cut some really delicate bits of foliage in the set. The foliage would be useful for any cards with flowers to add some 'green bits'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I made this one for <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/crafters-companion-c25/crafters-inspiration-magazines-c3/crafters-companion-crafters-inspiration-issue-5-christmas-edition-p26223" target="_blank">Crafter's Inspiration Issue 5 Magazine</a>. I have added a tutorial on how to make the box, which is easier than it looks!<br />

How to make the box</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>You will need two sheets of A3 card. Cut one 20cm x 35cm and one 22.5cm x 35cm. Score both at 10cm on the short edge and at 20cm on the larger piece. Score both at 10cm and 25cm on the long edge.</li>
<li>Score<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">diagonal lines at 10cm score line on the top of
each piece. On the bottom section cut across diagonally at each 10cm score line
and leave a 2.5cm wide flap on the larger piece.</span></li>

<br />
It may be a bit early for some, but Christmas has begun in the craft world! Today I am sharing a Christmas Wreath made with the Bebunni Christmas CDs which are launching on Create and Craft on Monday 23rd June.<br />

This latest Bebunni range includes a twin CD Rom, paper pads, stamps and embellishments. I have used images from one of the CDs and poinsettia flowers from the second CD. I have also used the Die'sire Snowflakes die from Crafters Companion cut in gold glitter card.<br />

<br />
Had another article published in this months Papercraft Essentials magazine. The lovely people at PE sent me a pack of goodies from <a href="http://www.hotp.com/" target="_blank">Hot Off The Press</a> from their new Chalkboard range. The brief was to make cards for Fathers Day - not always easy to come up with ideas for men's cards that don't feature sports or beer! This was a lovely range to work with, hope you like the cards.<br />

This is an old DVD storage rack which I picked up at a Car Boot sale for £1. I have made 'shelves' for the pens from sheets of grey board. The storage for my ink pads next to it was also from a Car Boot - £1 for 3 - a real bargain!</div>
