I would just like to thank you all for your kind messages and emails after my first Create and Craft show yesterday. I think you will agree with me that the 3 ScrapBerry’s collections are not only fantastic quality but great value, too.

I do hope you manage to purchase your ScrapBerry’s kit before they sold out. If so, let me know in the comments below which kit was your favorite.

I was delighted with how the set looked with all the beautiful samples the design team had made using ScrapBerry’s kits. I couldn’t believe just how quickly the hours show went and thought that if you were looking for further ideas and inspirations, I would put together the following videos showing the samples of each kit in a little more depth.

Distressed Cherish Card

IMG_1527This 8×8 card make a great statement and is made using many of the items from the Crafters Companion Textures range.

I have stamped around the edge of some kraft card using the Texture stamps and a brown ink pad. Then using a piece of coredinations cardstock cut down to 6×6 I embossed this using the Distress Textures Embossing Folder. I then sanded this using the Sand it Set to give it a more distessed look.

IMG_1526Then on another piece of kraft card I stamped the word Cherish from the Textures Stamps “Words of Wonder” Set 1 and embossed this with gold embossing powder.

Again I stamped around the edge using some of the Textures Stamps, to give this more dimension I used brown ink and some goldembossing powder. I also distressed the edges of this with a Distressing tool.

Now I could put the card together layering up all the elements and adding some flowers and string to give it a finishing touch.

You can make up so many differnt cards using these Textures Embossing Folders and Stamps so go on be creative and have fun!

Inspirational Quotes in a Box Card

IMG_1522Thie Inspirational Quotes Card is perfect to tell someone you are thinking of them or as a Just Because Card, a perfect way to brighten someone day.

The Card in a Box has beem decorated using Crafter’s Companion 8×8 Textures Embossing Folders in Pebbles. Once I had embossed the card stock I then sanded it lightly using the Coredinations Sand It Set. I then lightly inked it with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and a blending tool. Using Glossy Accents I highlighted some of the pebbles to make them stand out and to also give different dimention to the card.

To make the flowing words, I used the Crafter’s Companion Textures Words of Wonder Set 1 stamps. I stamped these onto Heat Resistant Acetate using Staz-On Ink in Midnight Blue and then st this with a heat gun to stop the ink from smugging. Then cut out each word leaving a long stick to attach it to the box. The word Beleive and Cherish are stuck directly onto the cardstock using Collall 3D Glue so you do not see it once it is dry.

By using different colour combinations you can give this card a whole different feel making it perfect for men & women.IMG_1521

MDF Heart Using Texture Stamps

IMG_1525Don’t just think stamps are just for cards, use them on your altered art projects too!

I have painted this MDF Heart with acrylic paint. Then I covered one side in patterned paper and sanded around the edges.

Using the Texture Stamps from Crafter’s Companion I have randionally stamped around the edges using a Brown ink pad.

I then stamped the word Believe in the same way. Then using an embossing pen I marked where I wanted and added gold embossing powder. Once the access was off I then set this with a heat tool. I also did the same to some of the stamped images around the edge.

The finishing touches are a metal butterfly, some tiny gems, flower and leaves. Just add a ribbon to hang it up and you have a lovely wall hanging to brighten up your home or to give as a gift.

Create-a-Card Lace Butterfly Die

IMG_1535Create-a-Card Dies from Crafter’s Companion make such super quick cards. You can use them in the traditional way or by cutting them and adding embellishments you can give them a whole new look.

IMG_1536

On one of these cards I have added Spray and Sparkle in Silver to the Background cut out to give it an over the top glittery look. With the additions of some perfect pearls from a Pearl Wand it makes the card pop and is a really girly look.

Create-a-Card Ornate Lattice Card

IMG_1534This Ornate Lattice die from the Create-a-Card range is a classic style that will never date. It’s simple pattern is crying out for you to add embellshments to turn it into a bling card or just keep it simple with a bow and some pearls.

On the yellow card I have actually cut it out twice and layered it up with 3D Glue Gel to give it added dimension. And as these are so quick to make you can play around with the dies to give each of your cards a totally different look.

I have even cut the Happy Birthday word from another die and inked and layered it onto the Ornate Lattice card to show you can always add a sentment or saying to your cards. So go on start die cutting and play with your Create-a-Card Dies!
