Blue Poinsettias...

Happy Monday,

A real showcase of the izink Diamonds today this card was easy to make as I was able to use the same product for everything!

I stared buy spearing silver and blue Izink diamond Glitter paint through my snowflake mask onto ultramarine Crafts Too Linen card.  Although a paint it is the neck enough to spared through the stencil yet fine enough to show all of the detail in the stencil.

I then added my Snowflake panel die cut in white over a piece of card onto which I painted Silver Izink diamonds.    I added a mat and layer circle form my media plate die set and the sentiment cut in blue and shadowed in white.

Finally I made up three poinsettias and simply painted the petals with silver and blue glitter paint.

Simple easy quick drying and not shed perfect for christmas cards!

Enjoy...

Red snow...

Happy Saturday,

A scene card today made using the Snow scenes this time cut form snow( well Glitter Foam but it looks like a snow drift!)

I cut the snow scenes die from white Crafts Too Glitter Foam.  For the background I used my Falling snow A5 mask onto acetate and spread silver Izink Diamonds through this to give the falling silver snow.  I backed this with red Linen card adding the glitter foam die cut over the top.

I used my Media Plate rectangle die set to make a set of frames in white and silver to frame the piece with layers of red and white to make the finished card.

I added a messy bow of red striped ribbon at the bottom and placed a star tag over this with the Merry Christmas sentiment ( all come in the Star Tags dies set).

Ingredients:
JND Snow Scenes die set
JND Star Tags Die Set
JND Falling snow mask
Izink Diamonds Silver glitter paint.

Silver Flakes...

Happy Thursday,

Quick post today showcasing a rad I demoed on hochanda using my Snowflake Lattice and Izink Diamonds glitter paint.

I cut the lattice three times and glued 2 tether over a piece of white card.  I then added izink diamonds in silver over the top using a spatula.  The great thing about the diamonds is that all the colours comes form the glitter and it works as a paint and paste.

Once dry ( which takes about 20 minutes) I added the third die cut over the top so that the glitter is inset into the background.

I stamped and die cut the poinsettias and then made up the flowers.  To add the glitter I simply painted the diamonds onto the edges of the petals I love how this works as well as a paint with a brush and the flowers dry in about 2 minutes.

A few layers of silver and white with the flowers and foliage through the middle and finished!


Ingredients:
JND Snowflake Lattice die set
JND Poinsettia die
JND poinsettia stamp
JND swirl Ivy die
Izink Diamonds glitter paint silver

Blue Snowflakes...

Happy Friday,

I will be demonstrating this technique this morning on the 9am show so watch if you want to see how the die cut is filled with the paint!

I cut a ring of the Ultramarine and white for the centre and filled it with acetate before adding the sentiment ( a sneak peak of Augusts launch sorry)

The flowers are cut with my Poinsettia flower plate die and made up I then painted the glitter on these which makes adding glitter to your projects so easy.

Gold Kings...

Happy Saturday,

A simple scene card today made with the media plate frames die set and the Holly Quilt mask sometime we ned a quick and Blingy Christmas card.

I started by spreading izink Diamonds through the mask onto Christmas Red Linen card from Crafts Too The Diamonds work better than anything else I have tried with masks and stencils as the thin formulation shows all the details of the pattern.  Once dry ( which takes about 20 minutes) I cut the piece using the largest square and the largest circle in the die set ( the stitched edge dies)

I used the other dies in the set to mount this onto black then gold mirror card.

For the centre panel I stamped the three kings from the Festive Silhouettes clear stamp set onto black card.  I then masked off the stamped images with a piece of torn card and shaded down using a finger dauber and more of the Izink Gold pigment ink.

I stamped the small stars stamp, from the snowflakes clear stamp set, in white izink pigment in using first and second generation stamping.  Finally adding a gold star for the kings to follow!

A few layers of red, black and gold to finish a small card with a,ot of glitz!


Ingredients:
JND Media Plate die set Squares
JND Festive Silhouettes stamp set
JND Snowflakes stamp set
Izink Diamonds Gold
Izink PIgment ink pad Gold

Owl In Flight...

Happy Friday,

I am often asked when I am demoing down south I will be at Craft Plus is Basildon ( Essex) on Saturday all day demoing so if you are arround that area It will be great to see you!

Today I thought I would share some of the cards I made with the Izink Diamonds and my Animals masks as I never got chance to share these.  These will be just part of the Demo on Saturday!

I simply used the Izink Diamonds Glitter paint through the owl mask in Gold and Orange to gove this shaded bronze look so easy to do and with a drying time of about 20 minutes so quick!

Heres another version in the dark brown onto Snow Fibre paper.


Enjoy...

Owls away...

Happy Sunday,

Another couple of samples from the Izink Diamonds shows this time featuring the owl in flight!

The first card is made using the chestnut and gold diamonds glitter paint onto a piece of fibre paper in white.  I tore the edges and wrapped this arround some Kraft card.

I added an MDF tag and a twist of hessian to make a simple yet glittery New Home card.

This second card is made in exactly the same colours however this time just on black card.  This shows the difference you get in colour and effects on different mediums!

Enjoy...

More Cats...

Happy Saturday,

I thought i would share a couple of samples made with the Izink Diamonds and the Cat stencil from yesterdays shows on Hochanda.

I used the Gold, chestnut and orange diamonds glitter paint through the mask onto acetate.  I then made a frame using the Press Cut plain squares dies and foam mounted the piece over a square of wool felt from my stash.

I cut the cats paws, stencilled in gold on black, using the press cut plain circles dies.  I matted these onto gold card and added them, with a twist of string for whiskers, on the side.

The next card is very simple jus gold and orange diamonds glitter paint through the stencil onto black card.

Enjoy...
