Edwinstowe Scrappers May’s Club Challenge

Edwinstowe Scrappers is my local Scrapbooking Club. We meet every second Sunday in the month, in the Village Hall in Edwinstowe Nottinghamshire UK.

Each month we do a Club Challenge which can be a Scrapbook Layout or Card. This project is to be done at home and brought along to the following months Club Crop.

Last month April the challenge was “Pieces of Me”. I have create a double page Scrapbook Layout for this Challenge and I hope you like it?

Stamping Over Die Cut Outs

I have used Die Cut Outs from Sara’s Signature Range – Together Forever and stuck these onto my Sheena Stamping Card with Crafters Companions Stick & Spray.

Then using my distress inks and Stamps from Sara’s Signature Range -Just for Men, I have over stamped. Next remove the dies cuts to show the white image. I love this idea!

This card was made for my Goddaughter and has been made in the same way but this time I have cut the letters out on my silhouette machine to spell her name. When I pealed off the letters I then stuck them on the envelope for that finishing touch.

Slider Card using Create-a-Card Dies

Create-a-Card Dies are great for making Slider cards too! I even made a little pocket to hold a gift card.
I have use Just for Men Collection of papers, stamps embossing folders & dies to decorate the card From Sara’s Signature Range.

Just for Men Card #2

Using Sara’s Signature Range Just for Men and Die-Sire Create-a-Card Card Blanks you can put together a mans card in super quick time.
A lovely range to work with as everything matches.

Just for Men Cards #1

Pushed for time when making Men’s Cards? This idea means you can make a second card with the waste from the first!
I have used Sara Davies Just for Men Range to make these. die sire Create-a-Card, Card blanks.

Anniversary Brag Wallet

I can’t believe that it has been 3 years since I published my first tutorial on YouTube!!

My first project was a Wallet Style Mini Brag Book Video Tutorial that has been viewed over 37,000 times – incredible!!

As a small thank you for subscribing to my channel, I thought I’d revisit this original project and give it a bit of a ‘lift’. I have made this one to a similar size however, there is a little more room for a few more photographs this time and the video has now been shot in HD.

As a extra treat and something I do in my paid Online Workshops, I have created a PDF document to support this project giving you the measurements to accompany the videos. If you’d like a copy, just fill in your name and email address in the form below and you will be able to download the PDF.

If you live in the UK and want to use the magnets I use, here is the link for First4 Magnets

Oh, don’t forget you will need to click the link in the email to confirm your email address otherwise you won’t be able to access the page.

Happy Crafting.

Hochanda Mothers Day Card for Nanny

I first showed you how to make this card on Hochanda TV.

Using the Harmony watercolour pens, I created the card background.

Once dry, I put it through my Emerald Die cutting machine using an embossing folder from my crafty stash and sanded this back to give the finished effect.

I die cut flowers using flower dies out of extra card I had created with the same effect so the elements on the card all matched.

I then cut the letters using the Emerald Letter dies. These are great as you can add your own special word and make this more personal to the recipient of the card.

Again this card can be used for any occasion but quick and easy to make with the right products.

Products I used to Create this card were:
