DEMO of these and more of my Own Stamp Range on Saturday 18th Feb. at BUY & SAVE, Wellington from 10.00am - 3.00pm

Iv'e been playing with the smaller images taken from Set 2 to create scenes as well as using the stamps individually as a main focus for the card.

My next set of stamps will be larger images of flowers, leaves, dragonflies, butterflies etc., all of which will co-ordinate and compliment these and other stamps in both Set 1 and Set 2.  The images are all coloured in with Water-soluble pencils to give a soft look. 

Hope you like the ideas....there are plenty more to come.

Busy Designing with my new stamp range

Iv'e been a very busy girl today designing cards with my new stamps. I love the way you can mix and match each image with each different set.   More to come very soon.... 















There is a DEMONSTRATION of my Stamps on Saturday, 18th February at Buy and Save in Wellington from 10,00am - 3pm. Please come along and see what you can achieve using the new Stamp Sets from Christines Crafty Art.

The following cards are made using images from Set 1 - Iv'e stamped the image/scene with blue watersoluble ink and used a paintbrush to blend in the colour. Plain and simple but effective, especially when used with a patterned paper background.


These three matching cards would make a great gift set for someone.
I love these scenes stamped in monochrome and then blended to add definition.
Can't wait to get playing again with more from my new set. Iv'e got lots of ideas so watch this space........

My new Stamps are now on my website...

Here's a taster of my new stamp designs......Set 2 consists of 4 sets of stamps, all different designs that can be used to "Build a Landscape".

They can be used to create scenes on their own or mix and match with the stamps from Set 1 (6 different sets of various scenes)  I can't wait to get creating with them and experiment with different products to get different effects.

I'm planning a few Demonstrations in a variety of stores in the southwest to show different ways of using the stamps so watch this space for venues and dates in the year ahead.

I'm off now to have a play... back soon with more news of demo's for DoCrafts and projects for WoW Embossing Powders as well as my own creations.....

My first project for WoW Embossing Powders is on their blog now....

This is my first project for WOW Embossing Powders. http://www.wowembossingpowder.blogspot.com/

I'm on their Design/Demonstrator Team and my first project is live on their blog for all to see. It's a heart hanger, made with a magnetic background so that you could use it as a fridge magnet if you wanted.
Embossed Heart with metal arrow and
 embossed Key
It's embossed with WoW powders and cut out using a Heart Die with the Big Shot. 

The close up shows the Embossing and Iv'e added a metal key and lock embossed with gold pearl powder plus a wire arrow made with jewellery findings.

My Creativity Magazine Cards -Jan/Feb issue


I created these cards for the Jan/Feb issue of the DoCrafts Creativity Magazine.


The cards were all made using the Jan/Feb Goody Bag. Check out the magazine for the full Step by Step instructions and product  details. 

The Goody Bag includes Capsule Collection papers, dimension outline stickers, ribbons, flowers, decoupage (die cut and decoupage that you cut out yourself)  and more....
The Papermania Capsule Collections allow you to mix and match as all the colours go together. There are ribbons, bows, buttons, sparkly flowers, papers and more in each Capsule Collection Set and the colours all go together so there's no hunting around your craft stash trying to find matching papers anymore.  I particularly like the new Burleigh Blue range in stores now.
