Making others happy

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made a Memory Dex card with a stamp set from the Circus Collection. These are two of my favourite products by AALL & Create! 

Here's how:

Starting off with cutting a card from Die set #50. I really like these Memory Dex cards. 

Next I coloured the card with a blending tool and Distress Oxide inks Dusty Concord, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron. Next I used stencil #171 with the same inks rubbed on it and spritzed with water, to print on the card. 

As always a little stamping too, this time with Versafine Clair Morning Mist and Nocturne. 

I also added some rub-ons from sets #8 and #12. 

I wanted to use the little Pierrot, so I stamped him, then coloured him with Copic Markers. I tried to keep him very light. 

Here is the whole card. I forgot I also used a few pieces of Washi tape #58, one piece for him to stand on and two other bits for more interest.

A new era of imagination

 Hello everyone,

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a postcard. I cut it by hand this time. 

Here is how I made this:

First I coloured the card stock with Distress Oxide inks - Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Kitsch Flamingo. I used a blending tool for this. I then rolled over some white acrylic paint with a brayer. 

After this dried I added some stamping with set #568 and heat embossed it with white powder.

Next more stamping with set #457 and Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin. 

Next I added some stencilling with stencil #110 and Black Soot Distress Oxide. 

I chose this camera from set #1225 by Bipasha as my focal point. I stamped it with Copic Friendly ink. 

And because the card wasn't busy enough :o) I added some rub-ons from set #10 too. Only a few tiny bits though...

Next washi tape. I used #96 Sugar Roll by Bipasha which is a layering washi. I just tore some pieces of and used it as an 'ordinary' washi tape ie. to ground things on and to add more interest. 

Here is the card, all put together. These images easily used on a vintage card but I thought it would be nice with bright colours too. I think it worked ! 

I have used:

Washi tape #96 - Sugar Roll by Bipasha Bk

Stencil #110 - Digits Checked by Bipasha Bk

Rub-ons #10 - Red Red Wine by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stamps:

#568 - ABCs by Bipasha Bk

#457 - Background Voices by Bipasha Bk

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday and Happy Boxing Day. I hope you all had a nice Christmas! For my last post this year I have made a Memory Dex card. It features Miss Dee in her party frock, ready for the New Year's Eve party! 

I am stepping down from the VLS team at the end of the year, at least for a little while.... 

I cut the card out of a gelli print I made with a star stencil and some acrylic paint. The stars were white after printing so I coloured them with paint markers. 

I added a tiny bit of stamping and then printed Miss Dee. This Miss Dee came out sometime this year and she is officially called Barb-Dee. 

I coloured her with my Copics and decided to pair her with a stamped sentiment of one of the Miss Dee stamps by AALL & Create #761 - Bobby Dee. The happy came from a set with just sentiments #666 - Everyday Sentiments and the 2025 came from #1247 - Bits of Alpha. 

Well, I am out for my New Year's Eve Party and will say Happy New Year to all of you ! Thanks for following me ! 

You'll find Barb-Dee HERE

The most wonderful time

 Hello everyone, 

I have one more Christmas project to share. This one is a Memory Dex card in Christmas colours.

Here's how:

I used washi tape #2 to cover the edges of this piece of Card stock ready to die cut. 

I used Die #72 to cut out the Memory dec card. I also cut out the piece that goes on top. 

Next I stamped the focal images I planned to use. I used sets #1216, 1195 and #1192.

I coloured the images with Copic markers and then cut them out. 

I then started work on the background. I made a gelli print with stencil #126 and Versafine Clair in Avocado.

I cut the bottom of the cover die again, this time out of a piece of left over Design Paper from set #11. 

Next was stamping the background. I used sets #1162, #366 and #1110 with Versafine Clair inks in Avocado, Strawberry and Nocturne. So now all the elements for this Memory Dex card are ready. Time to put everything together. 

And here it is. 

I have used:

Die #72 - Bubble Talk by Autour De Mwa & Co

Washi tape #2 - Inspire by Autour De Mwa

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday ! 

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made yet another Memory Dex card! They are great little canvasses to work on. 

I have used the set "Time for Christmas' which came out last year. 

After cutting out the Memory Dex card and some stars from the same set I coloured it with Distress Oxide inks. I added some stamping and washitape. Next I printed the images and coloured them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out. I arranged everything on the card and glued it down. The stars were put on with dimensional tape. 

You'll find "Time for Christmas' HERE or HERE

Merry Christmas

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made a Christmas Card.  As a lot of people know I am not the biggest fan of Christmas and I am really not keen on the traditional red and green. So for this card I chose blues. I think it looks great! 

Here's how:

I cut a card with die #34. This is going to be a card topper to go on a white A6 card. 

After colouring the card with Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass and Blueprint Sketch I used the darker of the two to stencil on the card. I used #232 by Janet Klein.

Next I added a little stamping using sets #338 en #758 with Distress Oxide Ink Tumbled Glass and Versafine Clair Nocturne.

Next I stamped the girl from set #1190 and I made a sentiment from the two text stamps in the same set. I die cut the sentiment with one of the speech bubbles of die set #72.

I coloured the little girl with Copic Markers and then cut her out. 

I adde some washi tape for her to stand on and in the right hand corner for balance. I also added a little white paint with a brush in the area where she is going to be glued. This helps her stand our from the background.

And here she is. I think it turned out nice. 

I have used:

Die #34 - ScyCrossed Paradise by Autour De Mwa & Co

Die #72 - Bubble Talk by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stencil #232 - Nature Listens by Janet Klein
