Be still my beating heart, that is the exact words that I said when I received this kit for my Shows on Create and Craft Saturday today at 3pm and Sunday 9am and 3pm.
I started to prep my demos for the shows and just couldn't stop, the more I used it the more I loved it. This set is quite different our usual Hunkydory sets, it craves to be used and explored.
I hope you can join me for some inspiration.
Those that know me will also know that I adore Poppies, I love to see fields that a a carpet of reds with the bloom of wild Poppies dancing in the breeze.
That is exactly the feeling that I get with the new Poppy Garden Luxury card collection from Hunkydory.
This collection will launch on Create and Craft on Friday 25th September at 12pm with Annemarie and I will step in on Sunday 10am.
Due to family commitments at the moment, I will only be doing the Sunday Shows for this collection so I hope you will be able to join me.
I have been grabbing a little me time where I could and managed to have some fun with the stamps, card blanks and some of the luxury collection before my shows.
I love that you can get creative with this set.
This was made using one of the Fold Me card blanks, I've had great fun using these and have more to show you in my shows on Sunday.
Again using one of the card blanks and a stamp set, Forever Poppies, this set has seam to seam designs so you can get really creative using them.
I think this is one collection that you just don’t want to miss.
Time to take it a little step further and introduce some stamps into the equation.
Choosing the colours was the first job, flowers - crimson, scarlet, vermillion, gamboge. Leaves – leaf green and lemon.
I used a stamp set from Papertrey Ink to stamp out the flowers, leaves and the swirls on the background in stampendous Frantage Shabby white embossing enamel.
This time I wet the porous card and sprinkled the powder in the places that I wanted the colour, i felt that I had more control of where it was going.
I cut out the leaves and flowers and laid them how I wanted them then added them with pinflair glue gel to give dimension.
I took the plunge and opened my pots of Brusho paint which had been sitting on a shelf for around 5 years, mostly because I never had the time to explore them.
I took a pokey tool and made a hole in the top of each pot and then started to play, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with my pieces of background art but here it is, my first Brusho art.
I have to be honest, it felt good to get my hands dirty and my fingers are now stained with blue, turquoise and black paint but I’m sure it won’t take long to get them cleaned up.
I used the La La Land tree die on one piece of the background and die cut a couple of trees layering them up on another background and then used some snowtex paste to add some texture, finished with lots of distressing and matting and layering and a couple of gems on the trees.
I think the packaging may have changed since I purchased mine but you get the information on it.
A couple of cards from the Launch shows for Hunkydory, Festive Windows of the Heart I think is the most beautiful set, I love good poetry cards and seemly so does the recipients, when I receive a card it is the first thing I look at.
The imagery on this set is also very beautiful some contemporary some traditional and some classic.
The above card started off as a concept card but I cut it up to make this one a little different.
The above card was made from one of the topper sheets and one of the background sheets.
Back at Create and Craft TV with a four Day Deal for Hunkydory.
Windows to the Heart collection is one of the most wonderful verse full sets from Hunkydory that I know you are simply going to fall in love with.
I've been prepping for the demo's and come up with some different ideas of how to use the concept cards within the set and here is a sneak peek at one of them.
I hope you can join me on Monday 10th at 08:00 and 13:00 and Tuesday at 09:00 and 18:00 for
I truly think this is a gorgeous collect from Hunkydory, I think because it would be good for so many winter occasions.
Here is a few of my makes from the set.
Creating an aperture into a K type card.
The owl image is so warm, this card was made from the background sheet and one of the die cut tags.
A bit of vintage with the postcard sheet.
One of the cards from Winter Wonderland Christmas Pack by Hunkydory.
I love this tree topper as it has a glow to it and is embellished with encapsulated diamond sparkles.
This collection contains an impressive 40 300gsm Adorable Scorable Topper Sheets and 80 coordinating 350gsm Foiled and Printed Cardstock Sheets, as well as some that have been enhanced with encapsulated Diamond Sparkles Glitter. It is still available at Create and Craft at the Craftinator price here
I’m all for using up all of my bits and pieces when buying a kit and this seamed the perfect way, after using a couple of the toppers to make cards I can find that I have spares on the sheet and occasionally a background card too.
Festive Splendour from Hunkydory has so many pretty background sheets that I thought it would make a perfect designer gift box to accompany the card I had made.
I also used some Adorable Scorable for the box base in a contrasting colour.
Now pop in a few home made sweets or maybe cookies and you have the perfect Christmas treat in a beautiful gift box.
Stoke up the fire, light the candles close the curtains and snuggle down for the Christmas Craftintaor launching tonight on Create and Craft at 7pm.
Everything you think of about Christmas and so much more in these set of 4 Christmas themes, Festive Splendour, Christmas Cuddles, Christmas Traditions and Winter Wonderland.
This card was made from the Festive Splendour Set.
Using a background sheet and a topper.
Oh yes and of course some pink and mint Adorable Scorable
Don't forget 7pm Create and Craft.
It’s fast approaching my Mams Birthday and being a garden lover and a bird feeder I thought it would have to be something featuring this, Shimmering Pearl from Hunkydory was the perfect choice, it is now available at Hunkydory to purchase and it would be rude not to pop in your basket some of the Adorable Scorable and foiled acetate while you are there ha ha!
The center panel has foiled acetate domed over the the birdcage and ribbon to add a bit of extra design, I used two of the sumptuous backgrounds for the card cutting panels from each and a sheet of the die cut elements.
The little birds are just gorgeous with their gold accents.
Using one of the inserts for the inside and a few diamond sparkle gems on the front my card was complete.
These are a few makes from my Fun in the Sun luxury decoupage bundle shows by Hunkydory on Create and Craft today.
Cut kittens decoupage matted and layered on adorable scorable card and an acetate wrap to protect the decoupage.
This one was made from the Second Little Book of Decoupage, such a tranquil image, teamed with adorable scorable.
A fabulous biking scene from the decoupage main set of Fun in the Sun.
One for the sporty man, love the coloured in this one made on one of the fancy fold cards (easel) and one of the images from the Second Little book of Decoupage.
Another fancy fold card this one being a triple easel card And some of the Decoupage main bundle Fun in the Sun.
Hunkydorys acetate is a dream to work with, it does what you want it to do, in this one it is embossed with an embossing folder and made into the front of the card and the back of the card is one of the Adorable Scorable cards cut down to an A5 size.
A box made up and decorated using the background sheet for the decoupage image.
More shows tomorrow at 9am, 4pm and then Ruth with take over and do the 7pm show.
