Lavinia stamp Christmas card

Chocolate Baroque Baroque Orchid

​Morning

Thank you for dropping by, a quick one from me this morning.

I covered a piece of A6 card  ( I trimmed 2cm from the long and short side) with the new distress colour Broadwalk Taffy. 

Then dried with a heat gun and went over with a anti static bag.

I applied versamark over the stamp applied to the card and then added superfine gold embossing powder. Heat set. 

Added double sided tape to the back and put on to a 5”x7” card blank. 

Chocolate Baroque Kim Moody Looking out to sea stamp

Hello Peeps The above picture is a photo of a card recently done with Kim Moody stamp from Chocolate Barouque This card was done as a challenge to myself by using one colour in this case Grey. I cut from a A4 piece of carde 10cm from the long edge.I stmaped the lighthouse image in momento Lomdon Fog. I then coloured the image using promarker cool greys, I used the three lightest colours. I also went around the path and edge of the grass near the sea to give some difinition. I then used Hickory smoke ditress ink pad and a cloud stecil to put in the clouds. The seagulls stamped in london fog. I then tore the edges and the excess bottom of the card, then using direct ink to card went around the edges. Matt and layered onto grey card then attached to 6" square card base. Thankd for reading and stopping by. Have fun and Happy crafting Andy xx

 

Morning Peeps

This is a card done with the recently released new stamps from Chocolate Baroque.

The stamp I used is Ace Card by Chocolate Baroque.

The three layers starting with the top measure 2"x3.25" (5cm x 8.3cm)  3"x4.25"  (7.25x 11cm) 4"x5.25" (10cm x 13.50cm

Rolling up a bit scotch tape into tube attaching to back of each piece I adhered all the three layers together and place in a stamping platform. I stamped the image with momento tuxedo black over all three layers, removed the top layer re-inked stamp, and stamped again, repeating the process for the bottom layer.

Coloured the images using alcohol markers. Mat and layered with red card and attached to 6" (15cm) card blank.

Thanks for looking 

Happy Crafting

 ok lets get down to business. The original stipulation was no cards but I know some of the ladies have done cards. I know sometimes when you are so used to making cards and then all of a sudden you have to think of something else it can be quite daunting. Anyway enough of my waffle. So what have I done for the blog hop  well a as the Americans call it ..... A Brag Book. Made with the Gift bag punch board. 

  The above picture shows the cover of the book. Basically all I've done is sprayed with distress inks then some brushes and let it dry. Then embossed with wow gold embossing powder. The stamp is from the sparkling poinsettia range from Heartfelt Creations. 

The inside  showing you a pocket in which to add photos. Again digress stains and delusions ink sprays combined with brushos. Using part of the stamp just to add a bit of interest to the corner.

Same as previous except I've added the tree die from the memory box distressed holiday collage set. Again gold embossed highlights in the corner.

Basically same as front cover except have now stamped using ground expresso.

A ground same as before. Oval drawn on to card poinsettias then stamped. Then oval die cut out around poinsettia.tag inserted and made.

Distress paints on card dried stamped then brushed pewter on top and dabbed off. Pocket blue distress inks and brushos and die cut snow flakes from the distressed holiday collage.

Same as before and same die yes I kinda like it. 😀😀

Been distress inks and brushos and delusions ink sprays and the tree die from the same collection. You get four dies in the distressed holiday collage. 

So to make the book 

Inset a 12"x12" piece of card into the punch board follow the instructions. 

Once you have done all the punching and scoring this is what you should have. Turn it around

Trim the side to make tabs 

Use red DSST on tab and stick together.

Lay it on your score board as shown and score at 4" craze and fold to create pocket.

Decorate as you like using your favourite oyster goodies.
