FREE DIGI-STAMP - Flower

Your FREE Digi-Stamp is here for Nov/Dec - Apologies for being a bit late with this one but life's been hectic and what with Christmas coming etc., etc, etc.,

Anyway, hope you like it and can use it for lots of things.  Add it to your cards as an embellishment or increase the size and make it the main feature.

My new stamp designs sets will be coming soon... I can't wait to use them - there are trees, fences, landscape scenes, flowers and more.....  They compliment the first Landscape scenes perfectly too so watch this space for the new arrivals.....

Countdown to Christmas - Fridge Magnets

I made this project using Magnetic Shim sheets from XCut. As they are magnetic and sticky-backed, you can attach paper and embellishments and create your own Fridge Magnets or use them in the car, bedroom, school projects etc.

Great for changing the numbers for an Advent Calendar. 
Make learning fun too. This idea could be used to help teach children to spell etc.,
Make all the letters of the alphabet or make numbers and use it as an aid to maths.  The possibilities are endless.

Recycle to Create Lovely Table Decorations

Recycled Bottle Table Decoration
This table decoration was made using a Tonic Bottle. I am well into recycling and try and find things around the house to use. Besides that, this was a good excuse to finish a Gin and Tonic as this table decoration is made with a Tonic bottle, which had to be empty of course...... I hope you like it and are inspired to create your own works of art using recycled products.

Instructions.

Cut the bottom off a lemonade and tonic bottle. You will see they are shaped so follow the shapes, rounding off the sections to form petals and you will create your two flowers, one bigger than the other (which fit inside one another to create a flower).

Colour the plastic with permanent markers.

Piece a hole in each of the outside  "petals" and add a jump ring. Add chain to this ring all around the flower.
Add a crystal bead to a head pin and form a loop which you can then attach to each of the jump rings. Hey presto you have your table decoration.
I also coloured a candle T-Light with permanent markers too to match the colour of the candle-holder.

STEPPER CARD TUTORIAL

At my Demonstrations I am always being asked how to make a Stepper Card as people find them difficult to make. Hope you find the instructions easy to follow. Here goes:

1. Take a C6 Card and cut off a small slither off the opening side so that the card measures exactly 4" wide. (See cross-hatched area on the picture) This will help when measuring your score lines for the steps.    



2. Open the card with the inside facing you. Measure 1. 1/2" in from the long edge and draw a line - this will give you the side part of the card that stands up without the steps.

Now for your score lines.  On the left half of the card measure in 2" and score from the line you have just drawn to the edge of the card.(See diagram - dotted lines)  This will in effect create the large step at the back of the card.


                                                                                                                                                    
3.  On the right hand side of the opened card - from the bottom edge, score 3/4" in from the bottom and again another 3/4" from the line you have drawn out to the edge so you have two equal score lines  This will give you the small step when folded. 

4. Next, measure in from the last score line you made another 1.1/4" and score another line. This will give you the middle step when folded. See diagram for measurements and how it should look.
Now cut from the first score line, (along the solid line),  down to the last score line - See small crosses on the diagram.

5.  Now for your folds. Hold the card up as normal and fold down what was the centre of the card leaving the side part upright.  Crease your 2" score line into a Mountain fold giving you the back step.

6.  Concertina the rest of the score lines to create the middle step and small step in the front of the card.


Hey Presto - All Done.  Top Tip: Cover your card with paper before you cut and score. It's much easier than doing it afterwards.
I hope this helps all the ladies and gents who have requested the instructions. Let me know if you have any queries by leaving a comment and I will do my best to assist. Thanks.

Christmas Decoration

A hug THANKS to Tracey at Homefayre in Tiverton for this idea. I used the Big Shot to cut out 6 Four Petal Die Shapes to form a frame, folded them in half and joined each one together. The smaller petal die cuts were also folded in half and stuck together to form a decoration that fit in the middle of the larger one. I fastened them all together with beads and wire.
Hope you like it....

MORE FRIENDLY PLASTIC with WOW EMBOSSING POWDERS - UNDER THE SEA

This picture was created with Friendly Plastic and WOW Embossing Powders using my own Hand-made Silk Papers which I have been making for some time now.

I used  real silk fibres to create the backing papers and incorporated other fibres for effect.  Iv'e embossed the papers too with WOW Embossing Powders to add glitter and sparkle. I made a mould from a real fossil, added air drying clay and let this go hard, painted it then I could incorporate this home-made fossil into the work.    


I also embossed a real shell with WOW Pearlised Embossing Powders and incorporated both the fossil and shell into Friendly Plastic, which I also added WOW powders to.


Both embellishments were then added to the picture. I love mixed media as it gives you an excuse to use up everything exciting in your craft kit.

FRIENDLY PLASTIC JEWELLERY

Friendly Plastic Necklace and Earrings.
I love Friendly Plastic - its so adaptable and can be used for all sorts of lovely items -  Iv'e made a pair of earrings and a necklace using Green Metallic Plastic and some Gold Metallic Sheet.

I stamped into the F.Plastic with a DoCrafts V & A stamp which had a very small intricate pattern on it. The colour of the plastic changed and became much more irridescent.
Nice surprise as now I can't wait to  see what my other strips of plastic look like now once I stamp into them.

Christmas Decoration Step by Step

 As promised the Step by Step instructions for the Christmas Decoration - You will need 12No. pieces of 2" x 3" paper - 6 of one colour and 6 of another plus two circles. (I used two die cut flower circles using the new Dies from XCut). 

Cut all of the pieces into a point as shown in the picture.
Start your cut approx 1" up from the bottom and cut to point (top centre).   



Roll each piece around a pencil then glue with Anita's Tacky Glue.








Lift each piece off the pencil before the glue is dry and twist to form a
 cone shape. Your cone should be smaller at the bottom than the top.







Stick all these cones to one of the circles using Tacky Glue then turn the whole thing over and add ribbon for the handle.







Stick the other circle onto the cones and leave to dry.








Decorate to finish.  These can be made into hanging Calendars, Place Mats, Decorations, Coasters etc., Hope you found these instructions useful. Any feedback most welcome.   

Please "Follow" and Visit my Blog regularly for more to come including Blog Candy Competitions. Thanks.

Another Beach Scene using my own Stamp Designs

Beach Scene using my Own Stamp Designs
Iv'e been busy designing more Landscape Scenic stamps - his one I particularly like as it's simple but gives the impression of depth (aerial perspective).
Iv'e designed lots of new images which are ready to be made into Stamps and Digi-images too.
Keep a look out for new cards etc on this blog. The sky and foreground for this card were created using dye inks and a soft brush. The shells,  driftwood  and background landscapes were coloured with Pro-markers and Zig Alcohol pens.

Saturday 18 June 2011

Beach Scene using my own Designs.

I've made a few more cards using my Build a Landscape Stamps and Digi-Stamps - This card is a scene using only 4 Stamps. 
Beach Scene using 4 Stamps






I coloured the background with inks using blue for the sky and sand colour for the dunes. I kept the background landscape stamps in a soft blue colour to create an aerial perspective look and stamped the grasses in the forground in deep brown. This brings the grasses to the foreground making you look into the picture.   I also went round the card with ink to create a darker edge, again leading your eye into the picture.




Tree Landscape on Watercolour paper. 


For this next scene I have used Watercolour Paper 140lb Not Pressed. I painted the background with blue paint and used a soft tissue to take off some of the colour whilst the paint was still wet.   This created the cloud effect that you can see here. For the tree stamp I used a brown ink pad. I also used the grass stamp in the foreground to create depth after painting the foreground using the paint on a dry brush.  The whole scene was then mounted onto brown cardstock to finish.

Designs by Nikki Smith

Nikki Smith another DoCrafts Designer and good friend of mine made  this lovely card using my "Build a Landscape" stamps (the Coast Path  Scene and Brick Wall) and a Daffodil Flower Frame
Digi - Stamp.

Nikki, a very talented lady used her design skills to come up with this lovely card. It's good to see how other Designers use my Stamps as we all have different ideas and unusual ways of putting the stamp images together to create something new.  Thanks Nikki. 

Friday 3 June 2011

One of my new Digi-Stamp Frames made into a Card

Landscape Scene with Digi-Stamp
This card was made using my own designs of new Digi-Stamp Frames. I also used my own Build a Landscape set of stamps to create the scene inside.

The card itself was coloured with inks, spritzed onto a Glass mat and watered down. I then added mica ink and placed the cardstock on top to soak in the colours.
The image itself is coloured with Zig Markers and Pro Markers. Hope you like it.

For more Digi-Stamp images go to my website at http://www.christinescraftyart.com/
More to come in the very near future so watch this space.

Stamps and Real Silk Fibres

Hi all

My new stamps are selling well and great news - Iv'e managed to find another supplier that will produce them a little cheaper so I'm passing this reduction onto my customers.

There is already another "Design Set" in the pipeline which will match the first set and compliment the images so keep an eye on my website for further designs.

If you are like me, you want something a bit "different" to craft with and use your creative skills in a variety of ways. In the near future, I will be selling real Silk Fibres - these can be used in a variety of ways - making your own paper, using them with hand-made felt to create all manner of items and a method Iv'e devised myself - using the Silks for decorating glass and plastic. Methods will be on my website and blog so watch this space for further details.

The Silk Fibres are easy to use and give stunning results to your crafting. Lovely colours too. More images of items Iv'e made with the fibres will be on here soon.

My New Stamps are on my Website for Sale


At last my new Stamp Designs are on my website for sale. It took me ages to set up and I have had so much trouble trying to sort it out postage wise Iv'e included postage prices within the Stamp prices for UK purchasers only.


I must say I am an old fashioned girl and still prefer to receive cheques and order forms so anyone who also prefers this method of ordering and paying has that facility too. All they need to do is email me and I can send on an order form by return.




My Demo this Saturday for DoCrafts is at Homefayre in Tiverton and on Sunday, Endsleigh Garden Centre near Plymouth where I will be demoing the new Midnight Fairy Range and Pampered Pets to name a few. Pictures going onto my DoCrafts Gallery very soon. To see them go to www.docrafts.com/CraftsRChris to access my Gallery.

My Stamp on Vellum this time

This time Iv'e created an image using my own Stamp Designs on Vellum. I coloured the Vellum with Pro-Markers and embossed the vellum too to give definition.


Hope you like it.

Iv'e also created an image using Metal Foil. Unfortunately this didn't photograph very well due to the shiny nature of the metal sheet.


I used Ancient Page waterproof ink and this did seem to dry quite well on the metal - enough for me to emboss on the front then again on the back to emphasise the rocks and branches.


Hope you like them.

Monday 14 February 2011

More Cards made from my Own Stamp Range


Here are some more Cards made from my own Range of Stamps. They are available to purchase - just email me and I will send along details.

See my website soon for details too.

Hope you like the images.
There will be more to come very soon. The images are so adaptable that you can use them on their own or build scenes with them as you can see from these cards.


I have used 6 stamps for this design. All landscape scene stamps which you can mix and match according to the look that you want to achieve.



Iv'e used some shrink plastic for this card. I stamped the tree with waterproof ink pads and coloured it with pro-markers. I then stamped the tree again onto some shrink plastic and added it as an embellishment at the bottom of the card.

My New Stamp Designs have arrived

My New Stamp Designs have arrived. I'm so pleased with my new
stamp designs - Iv'e made up 3 cards using various stamps from my new
range, some to build landscape scenes and the Blue Card below was made using a single stamp of mine but the sentiment is from the DoCrafts Birdsong range of stamps. Simple but effective.
The stamps are available to purchase as a full A4 sheet set
