Glitter everywhere even on little wooden snowflakes from stampin up

Glitter Snowflakes

Hi to all you lovely crafters

Well just a quick note on how i game about glitting my wooden snowflakes from stampin up, yes I used heat and stick.....it's great way to add glitter.

Items you may need is 

VersaMark

Heat and Stick

Heat tool

glitter

wooden snowflakes

Now to have fun just make sure you have a heat sheet as well, pop your snowflakes on the versamark and press them in well so they're coated, now to pour the heat and stick over them but making sure you use a scrap piece of paper to catch all the heat and stick power, gently tap of any excess off and pour back into the pot ( which you can use again and again) now to heat up tool and melt up the heat and stick......once all melted it will come very sticky...now to pop glitter all over tap off excess and pop back into the pot.

now you have your glitter snowflake way don't you give it a try ...pop along to my you tube channel and watch what happens...

your snowflakes will be ready to used, i used mine on my next project..

Have a lovely day

Stampin Up Stamps (Flurry of Wishes) MDF

Flurry of Wishes (MDF)

Hi to all you lovely crafty people out there........so how have you all been...busy I hope with all your crafty makes.

I've been looking at crafting with different materials but still using my lovely stamps......Plus I bought some MDF shapes in the summer ( yes they were christmas mdf)...but I put them away in my cupboard, until I found something to make with them...... So I painted the MDF with matt paint ( bought a test pot just incase it didnt  work)  but oh it did and I'm showing you the outcome.

so why don't you all have a go...take a mdf shape and paint it in any colour you like.......taking your versamark ink I put to straight onto the top of my bubble the versamark ink makes it sticky so your embossing powder will stick to......I used Pink from my crafty stash, if you have any in your crafty stash bring it out and use it your have lots fun.......So now I plugged in my heat gun and started to heat up the embossing powder ,I never get tired of watching it melt......once you have finished the top..now to use flurry of Wishes stamp set from stampin up.....I used the medium snowflake, I inked up the stamp and stamped it in the middle of the mdf bubble.....then I took my small snowflake and stamped on the edges of the bubble. Taking the embossing powder I poured  it all on the stamp then tipped it off onto paper and put back in the jar. Now the fun bit to heat up the embossing powder and watch the magic happened. Once it's all done you can use any kind of gem/gems to decorate the bubble.....then to pick a ribbon from your stash. Now you have a lovely tree decoration you can do both sides or you can write what year you made it......

So what colours would you use.....please pop along to my you tube channel and watch the magic happen So enjoyed making this super cute bubble hope you enjoy it as much I .

Super Cute card using Stampin up flurry of Wishes

Flurry Of Wishes (cute little card)

Hi to all you lovely crafting people out there, sorry I have missed you all last week, but what with the internet soooo bad and have been very busy back to work....but had a great half term......now counting  the weeks till I go and visit my grandsons in Guernsey ( cant wait) will have to get so many cuddles in !!!!!! 

Now what did I get up to over half term...well went to visit my lovely mummy and had such a great time...I even took a load of crafting goodies to have a play with...Mum design her own christmas card...plus she stamp her sentiment using stampin up products.......mum I known you check out my blog....but was a great time thank you from the bottom of my heart, we must always remember our lovely Mums oh and of course Dads but mine past away five years ago now but I know he walks with me ever day.

Now back to my make, this cute little card....using the large snowflake from the stamp set of flurry of wishes....

Thought I stamp it in the in colours Mint Macaroon just love this colour...

details of card as follows

Whisper white card stock 3in x 6in (7.5cm x15cm) score at 3in( 7.5cm) on the long side of the card so it is now in half.

Ink you large snowflake up and place it in the middle of the card then I put a gem from my crafting stash but you can use anything...sure you have loads of gems......

so the make the envelope cut a piece of envelope paper from stampin up in our large catalogue 2015/2016...using the in colours to match.....don't you just love the way stampin up just makes it all so easy for us all to craft with inks, card, embellishment, even paper to match oh not forgetting the ribbon.....and the way the stamps just stamp out so clear.....just love it all

so any way back to the envelope....

Details as follows

cut you paper 5in x 5in (12.8cm x 12.8cm)

using your enveloper punch board place your paper to the measurements of 2 5/8in(6.4cm) punch and score and turn then follow the score lines each in turn....once you have punched and scored all four side ...fold all the score lines into the middle and the envelope will take shape I used two way glue from stampin up which is just right for paper as tombow is to heavy glue. 

once you have glued your enveloped you can now pop your cute card inside .

If you want to follow how to make the card pop along to my u tube josephine nairn channelhttps://youtu.be/ibJqyKN7kIE hope you enjoy watching it all come together.

Spooky Candle Holder......(using Stampin up DSP)

Spooky Candle Holder

Hi to all you lovely crafty people out there....so hows your week been...I've had a busy one....I held a sewing evening for my lovely craft group and great time had by all.....

But now to my lovely spooky makes.....

So I'm using banner dies to cut out the shape... so versatile....this great set of six from stampin up..I used the third smallest for my make....

I used DSP (retired) 

base 3x3in square, and scored it at 3/4in all four edges  (7cm x 7cm and scored at 2.5cm on all four edges)

Then using the banner die cut out four

To make base...once scored, fold all the scored lines,  at each corner you should have a small scored square.......then above the square there should be what would look like a cross.....cut up on the scored  line up to the cross on your right hand, side then turn card stock 45 degrees, you now should be looking at your second scored box, cut up on the scored line to the cross,  turn again do this until you have cut up all four corners, you should now have four flaps, if it make it easy, you can cut out small wedges where you have cut the lines this makes it easy to stick together....now to put wet glue on the tabs and fold each corner in...it should look like a nice sharp edge....once you have stuck all four down now to make the sides, with the banners all cut out you could punch out shape to make little window effects...then put wet glue on all four sides and stick the banners on the side of the base......you can decorate with anything from your crafty stash...

When trying to write down details in how to make this lovely little candle holder..its a real challenge

for me, hoping you understand...but you could always pop along to my you tube channel josephine nairn..and follow along with me and have fun...I love making video I'm trying to get better...but the internet here is so bad....it can take all day just to upload one small item...but hope you all enjoy them..

well hope you have great weekend and watch this space for more !!!!!

Pop up card made with Poppy's

Poppy pop up card

Hi all you lovely crafty people out there...how you all doing....well I hope.....

well today's card is a beautiful poppy card.......It all came about after talking to my Mum on Friday.......plus what with up and coming Remembrance Sunday (UK)...which I hold very close to my heart just couldn't let it go by... Especially as I have a free poppy stamp set and die to play with from Sheena Douglas......But of course I used Stampin up inks....... So this lovely card is all about Techniques used in making the poppies and the back ground...as you all might know by now I love try to make the most out of my stamps. Have you got any poppy stamps set in your crafty stash?...why don't you get them out and have a play you never know what you could make, just take a look at this card.

So I'm sure you all know by now how to make a pop up card......

Measurements as follows

real red card stock 8in x5in

Scored short side at 2in,4in,6in,8in, turned to long side scored at 21/2in

then cut up every  score line of your top half ,the little 1/2 that's left cut away your top bit ,bottom 1/2in you will glue together to make the card.

cut 2 strips 3ins x 1/2 score at each end and put sticky strip ,

pop them in your card..these will be what your attaching your Poppy's to.

As you all know I love making my own back ground paper and I had great fun doing so...I just think its wonderful when all you need is whisper white card stock great ink..I used real red and strawberry slush with basic black for the middle.....

On stamping out the poppy's in real red I came back in with my water brush and picked up the ink and painted over the poppy's...( I used whisper white card stock and not water card but  it was all ok).....I used  strawberry slush to give depth to my poppy... not forgetting to stamp the middle part of the poppy in basic black ..... now to die cut the poppy out...then to layer it them up......

  loved getting messy ......with the leaves using mossy meadow  I put a colour wash over the card, let it dry then came back in and stamped over, if you have a look at the leaves you will see....... i cut all the leaves out by hand......using acetate in small strips to stick to the poppy's, then sticking them on the inside of the 1/2in strips you will get this great effect.. ..Of course using my background paper to decorate the sides and the long panel at the back, think it looks great..what do you think...

I know this is all long blog....but just wanted to let you all know how it all came about , you just might want to have ago yourself with any stamp you may have...I love to share with you all out there.

If you pop along to my you tube channel you can see me making them all in detail.

Thank you for stopping by and if you have got to the bottom of this blog and understand you GREAT............

Happy crafting to you all
