You Can Be Anything Even A Unicorn

Hi all

I have a quick and easy mixed media card to share with you using the new Gummiapan stamps available from Swedish House Crafts.

Take a blank card and use a stencil with modeling paste over the whole card blank and let it dry.

Next spray over the top with random pastel coloured mist sprays allowing each layer to dry before adding another colour.

Stamp out 6 unicorns and colour the body in on one and the hair on the other. This stops the ink running into the main part of the image. All you have to do is cut the pieces out and glue them together.

Adhere the unicorns along the card and glue down

Finish with a matching sentiment

Cherish the Memory: How To Create A Beautiful Nature Card

Hello all

I am back with another make for Cherish the Memory. I am using the lovely My Botanical Garden Collection by Studiolight to create this mixed media card.

I covered a blank card with patterned paper and then cut a section out of

SCRAPMBG03. I added the square to the center of the card and then i added a stencil mask to the background.

I made up one of the toppers using the decoupage sheets and glued a tag from the label sheet to the back before adding it to the card.

I finished the card off by painting green ink over the stenciled area and adding a bow made from paper twine

Cherish the Memory How To Create A Beautiful Beach Card

Hello all

I have a mixed media card made using the Romantic Summer Collection available at Cherish the Memory.

I used a 6 x 6 paper pad from Studio Light for the base layer and roughed up the edges with a pair of scissors. I then used one of the background sheets from the card making kit and glued it to the center of the card.

I then took the porthole topper and cut out the porthole part and then adhered it to some patterned paper and adhere it to the card. Next i took a large MDF anchor and painted it with sandstone acrylic paint.

I spritzed some cheese cloth with blue misting spray and let it dry before adding it to the corners of the card. I wrapped some around the anchor and adhered die-cuts,flowers and shells over the top.

I finished off the card by adding washi tape to the corners and adding a sentiment.

How To Create A Stunning Nautical Greeting Card

Hi all

I have another project for you today using products from Cherish the Memory. Summer is definitely here in the UK and all i want to do is go to the beach oh well i guess i will have to make seaside themed projects for a bit instead.

I used the vintage papers 6 x 6 paper pad on the card blank and then i used the background from the Romantic Summer Card kit to add the next layer. I added texture sand paste and a stencil to give it a nice sandy look.

I dyed cheese cloth with Brusho powder and spritzed with water to spread the ink. I then dried it out and adhered it to the page. I repeated this step with the webbed trim and then added shells and die cuts from the Romantic Summer Card Kit.

I added a large clam for the main topper and continued to layer up the die cut flowers and shells. I then finished by adding pearls and a sentiment.

Hi all

I am guest designer for Craft Consortium this month and i have made up a shaker card with the Tell the Bees paper pad.

Take two sheets of patterned paper and cover a 5 x 7 card with half of each sheet.

take a sheet of gilded patterned paper and cut a 6 cm wide strip, Use a punch to create a decorative edge and adhere to card.

Paint a strip of wall tape with gold paint and once dry adhere it to the center of the card along with a few die-cut leaves.

Create a shaker box by die-cutting a small frame using a large and small hexagon nesting die placed inside each other. Cut one from patterned paper and one from craft foam.

Next cut out a base and top using the larger die. Cut one from patterned paper and one from acetate.

Take the piece cut from patterned paper and glue the foam frame to the base with strong glue. Leave this to dry before adding sequins and beads inside.

Seal the box with the acetate and then glue the frame cut from the patterned paper over the top.

Once the shaker box has dried, Adhere to the card and decorate with flowers.

Cut out one of the bees from the topper sheet and add to the edge of the shaker box

Finish with a sentiment.

How To Decorate An ATB With Romantic Summer Collection

Hi all

I have made up an ATB using the Romantic Summer Decoupage pad available at Cherish the Memory. An ATB is an Artist Trading block also known as a chunky. It is basically a block that can be decorated on all sides or with one side open like a shrine.

I painted each piece in gesso first so that the paint wouldn't soak into the mdf. Then i coated it with DecoArt Texture sand paste before painting over with acrylic paint.

I dyed some cheese cloth with Tattered Angels glimmer mist and adhered it to the ATB, I then popped out the pieces from the card kit and glued them into place. I added shells and flowers to create more dimension,

For the top of the block i used a stencil and painted over it with Metallic Lustre. Then i placed down the die-cuts and embellishments. I filled a small bottle with seed beads and mini shells before gluing it to the top.
