Watercolor Pencils Work On Black Card

April 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

Do you ever just experiment with your craft supplies? It's something I do quite a lot. Sometimes my experiments work and sometimes they leave me a little disappointed, but it's never time wasted. Occasionally I'll start experimenting simply because I'm struggling with a project. At times I find doing something totally different can spark an idea, like when I was playing with my Watercolor Pencils recently. BLACK MAGIC PENCILS I was actually using Basic Black Card to create layers for ... VIEW POST

Try Watercolour Pencils With A Blender Pen

February 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

I love colouring with a variety of materials, and experimenting with new techniques. Take watercolour pencils for instance. Did you know that you can get different looks with watercolour pencils? The most common way I see people use them is to colour, and then 'activate' the pigment with water. You don't have to of course, you can also use them dry just like normal colouring pencils. But have you tried using watercolour pencils with a Blender Pen? I like this method because it smooths the ... VIEW POST

Today has been busy so far and I have no doubt that it will stay that way for a few more hours yet. The Stampin' Up!

I've begun updating everything on my website and Facebook page and I'm determined to have it all done by midday.

Birthday wishes card with envelope decorated inside using the Fancy Phrases Stamp Set and Envelopes Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Envelopes Have An Inside Too

December 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today my project features another retiring product, the Envelopes Dies. I was hoping that these dies would be carried over but sadly that was not to be. So I was determined to use them to show you what you might be missing, with a gentle reminder that envelopes have an inside too. FANCY PHRASES FLORALS My project actually began with the Fancy Phrases Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue. Using Tuxedo Black ink I first stamped the large floral image across the ... VIEW POST

Simple Colouring For A Simple Sunday

July 19, 2020 Leave a Comment

This morning I awoke to a very foggy landscape. I'm always struck how the garden looks completely different when some of the major features are hidden. The garden is also very quiet in the fog, even the crow on the power pole has nothing to say. So when I sat down to create today's simple Sunday project I had that quiet, muted feel in mind. I think I achieved it with some very simple grey stamping and colouring. SIMPLE COLOURING I began with a 4-1/4" x 2" piece of Thick Whisper White ... VIEW POST

Senior Years Just Got More Fun

June 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

Yesterday I came home to a lovely parcel of goodies from the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue. New ink colours, pretty paper, punches, dies, and of course stamp sets. Now I find myself wondering what to play with first. So I do what I often do, and start simple. Today that involved the new Senior Years Stamp Set. SENIOR YEARS I love the fun sentiments in the Senior Years Stamp Set, and there's two mature figures to accompany them. For today's project I chose the gentleman and a really fun ... VIEW POST
