Hello!

This week, I’ m going to give you the recipe of an easel card like mine. Mine is done for a birthday, but any Tingtura stamp will suit your card, and thinking about halloween and Christmas not so far… that makes a lots of cards to do for family and friends!

Here  is my card closed…

And opened…

The stamp…

1) Cut a piece of craft cardstock to 15X15. Score and fold at 15 cm and 20 cm.

2) Cut a square of 15 cm and attach to the fold of the card to create the easel shape.

3) Glue a 14,5 cm square of red carstock to the front of the card.

4) Matt a 14 cm sqare of patterned paper onto the red cardstock.

5) Cut a 12 cm squareof red cardstock and a 11,5 cm of patterned paper and fix it at an angle in the front of the card.

6) Attach a scalloped strip to the card.

7) Stamp the GIRL WITH GIFT stamp with memento ink and colour it ( I’ve used Promarkers). Matt the image onto red cardstock and attach to the front of the card.

8)  Punch 3 different sizes of circles, attach them at the centre with a brad, and scrunch them up. Make a second flower.

9) Place the first flower in the left-hand corner of the card.

10) Cover the easel card base with red cardstock and a smaller piece of patterned paper. Add a sentiment onto white paper ( I’ve printed it) and place the second flower to decorate the front of the card.

 And that’s it!

You can ink all the papers like me ( with black distress), or draw small black faux-stitched.

Hope you like it, and don’t forget to send a link to your blog and card, I’d be very happy to see your cards!

Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

I’m back with 2 cards this week, I don’t know why but I’m into card making at this time.. I ‘ll  have to do scrapbook page, got a lot of pix!

So, this week, I’ve used the wonderful new WEDDING COUPLE stamp! Stamped with Memento ink as usual, and colored with Promarkers , only grey tones. I wanted a very freestyle card, so after having glued the paper and the stamp, I spray some Glimmer mist and Adironback color wash on the card, and ended with putting some Gesso with a toothbrush. I also used the 100% LOVE stamp as title.

Wanna see how it looks like?!

Here it is…

For my second card, I remained in black and white with the PRINCESS WITH FROG PRINCE stamp. Il love this stamp!

Have a very nice week! See you very soon!

Hugs,

Emma.

hi!

I’m coming back this week with 2 cards!

The first one is made with the leafy swirl, 100% love, and the standing baby girl in dress stamps.

And the second one… with the leafy swirl, 100% love and the girl with flowers stamps.

Both Maja’s stamps are inked with Memento ink and  colored with Promarkers. The other stamps are stamped with Vintage sepia Versafine.

See you next week with a scrapbook page and a Wedding card using the wonderful new stamps! Don’t miss it!

Hugs,

Emma.

HI!

 Let’s scrap together again! This week, I’m showing you how to make a lovely  photo holder from a simple wood frame!

So, you start with a wood frame like this one…

Then you paint it with Gesso, using a baby towel, it dries very fast!

You stamp the glass of the photo holder, with white stazon ( or any other color that you like!)… I’ve stamped the lots of hearts stamp four times.

You also stamp the frame. I’ve chosen to stamp the wonderful new swirl  stamp  in cactus green and fuchsia pink stazon…

I’ve then sprayed some glimmer mist all other the frame … but you can also use distress ink.

Now all you have to do is to glue your picture and add some embellishments.

Wanna see the result??!

Here it is!

 This photo holder will be wonderful on my desk at work!

Wish you a very nice week! See you soon! Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

Have you seen the lovely new stamps??! I’m in love with them!

This week, I’ve made a card with the baptism baby. The card is made from white cardstock and glimmer mists. The masks are made with basic wood embellishments, and the fanions with masking tape! The sweet little baby is coloured with promarkers, I’ve stamped the head two times, cut it, and then glued the second one with mounted tape.

 With the card, I’ve added a little tag, to go with the gift for the baby! Same principle, first I’ve stamped the leafy swirls, and embossed it with the heat gun, added some wood masks, then I’ve sprayed some glimmer mist, and here’s my own background.

Let’s scrap! See you next week! Hugs!

Hello again!

This week I’m showing how to alterate a chalk board! So you gotta have GESSO or white acrylic paint, and paint the borders.

Then stamp it before it has the time to dry, be very careful to wash your stamps with water as soon as you’ve done it.

Then add some liquid paint or glimmer mists.

Then add some stamp on the corner, and then add papers and embellishments as on a paper! You can use it as a canva or as a doorhanger! Like it? Hope so!

See you next week!

Hello dear Tingtura’s addicts!

This week I’ m going to show you how to make lovely Tingtura stamps to use as embellishments on pages or cards.

So first of all, you have to make squares on bazzil paper with masking tape or post-it paper. Then you have to ink it with distress ink and cut’n dry.

 Then you take the first stamp and ink it with  a clear color.

 Then take another stamp and ink it with a darker ink.

 You can now remove  the masking tape, or add others stamps if you want such as words.

So to finish, you just have to cut the stamps with special scissors. And see the result!

Isn’t it lovely?!

 Those stamps make wonderful  handmade embellishments!

 I have made a scrapbook page using one…

Great isn’t it?! See you next week for more inspiration!

Emma.

PS: The stamps technique was inspired by a friend of mine :http://lescrapdekatia.canalblog.com/.

 Time is running so fast! Already wednesday!

This week, I’ m here with a card.

Sometime you just want to send a card to someone it’s been a longt time you’ve not seen, for no particular reason… seing the girl waving stamp inspired me the title ‘HI!’

Pefect! That was it : a ‘ just to say HI ‘ card!

The girl is colored with promarkers , for the skin I used ivory color as a basis, then dusty pink around the face and  a slight touch of cinnamon for the shades of the hair. For the dress  I used two shades of yellow canary and gold with touches of bright orange, red and ruby. And finally for the hair: warm grey 5 and 3.

 Have a very nice week!

Emma.

Hello again!

As I said last week, this wednesday I brought you an urban page using the flying stars stamps. The stars stamps are just perfect to put on any scrapbook page, colored with promarkers, it can goes along with any paper.

I colored them with promarkers,added some Glossy accent  and sticked it with lamella adhesive to give it a 3-dimensional aspect.

I also stamped the star swirl long stamp under the title. Using  a Promarker as an ink to stamp it!

And to finish with this week, I also have another card made with the sketch I gave you last week! With the girl with gift stamp this time!

See you next week! have a very nice end of week!

Hi! As always, I’m very happy to be with you on ‘our’ wednesday! With a scrapbook page and a card this week.

First of all, the page…about my little princess of course! using Bubble Wrap circle and Splatter stamps to enhance the circle made with the butterflies, I stamped it with white ink to keep this smooth aspect.

And then the card.. with another princess! Here’s my sketch, I’ll be very happy to see what you  do with it, just let a link to your blog, and I’ll visit it!

 The Maja’s friends stamps are so cute!  The princess with frog prince  is so sweet! I used to color my stamps with watercolor pencils, but this time I wanted to try alcohol markers.
