Hello and welcome to Crafting with JaneA. I have been a crafter for many years now and enjoy all type of paper crafting, cardmaking, mixed media, as well as crochet, sewing and upcycling, I hope to bring a bit of what I love to my channel and inspire and encourage you in wherever your crafting journey takes you.
As promised yesterday, here is the second part of my lovely framed backgrounds using Brusho and Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint.
This is a snowflake card using the dies from the Seasonal Layers Framelits makes a beautiful clean and simple card by just putting the frame and a sentiment on a white card base.
Good quality Water Colour Paper is essential and Stampin Up Watercolour paper is excellent.
As always here is a FREE video tutorial, to show you exactly how I made this card.
Stitched Shapes Framelits give you the picture frames. Take the largest and second largest squares and follow the video.
Here is the first video in this series which shows you how I started the night sky background
Please look at subscribing to my blog & YouTube videos as I post regularly and there are 110 videos with plenty of tips, techniques and ideas for your crafting inspiration.
The fun part of this card is that you cut around the flower and leaf images and the inside sentiment tucks neatly underneath.
The secret to the success of the cut away area of the card is to ensure that all the stamped images run right across the card and are quite close together.
The ink pads I used for this card were,
Flirty Flamingo, Berry Burst, Calypso Coral and Powder Pink for the large flowers
The 5 minute video will show you how I made this card and put it together and please look to subscribe to my YouTube channel as I post regular videos and try to keep them just long enough to sit and watch with a cup of coffee.

Hello and welcome to Amethystarcrafting. Colourful Seasons is my one go to stamp set as it has something for everyone. It is the stamp set that I recommend for all my beginners as there is so much to choose from.
This card is using the snowflakes from the set and the coordinating die set to make a lovely simple Christmas card.
If you don't have the Big Shot to create the cut out snowflakes you can always repeat the stamp pattern in a coordinating colour perhaps pool party. I used smokey slate for the snowflakes some silver foil paper.
I have used this stamp set in my beginners video as the set I would choose for its versatility. If you are just starting out then this is a good guide to help choose your first tool box.
All products are available through my shop button above. If you haven't already subscribed to my blog or YouTube channel then please do as I post regular tutorials and videos using the latest products and techniques.
How to create a fun background using torn paper and Colourful Seasons stamp set.
When you begin as a stamper there is so much to learn and so many products to buy. However as we all know that unless we win the lottery or suddenly become millionaires we have to pace ourselves and build up our supplies gradually. So creating fun and different backgrounds is a way of coordinating our supplies and creating lots of different effects without spending on new supplies.
The torn paper technique is suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced crafters and the possibilities are endless with different colour themes.
I have given you a video so you can see step by step how to achieve this background.
Please do subscribe to my YouTube video channel and this blog as I post regular videos and craft ideas and cards for you to gain inspiration from.
All products are available to buy through my shop button above.
This card uses Real Red, Peekaboo Peach and Crushed Curry inkpads with the sentiment and Adirondack chair from the Colourful Seasons bundle.
This card uses Fresh Fig, Sweet Sugarplum and Crushed Curry inkpads and the Sheltering Tree and Colourful Seasons stamp sets.
This card uses Dapper Denim, Pool Party and Smoky Slate inkpads with the Magical Mermaid stamp set.
This card uses Emerald Envy, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim inkpads and Lovely As a Tree stamp set.
Give this great technique a go and see what lovely cards you can create.
Thanks for dropping by and look forward to seeing you all for more fun techniques and ideas.
Thank you for all your custom and support, you are all very valued.
Sometimes we seem to forget that not everybody has a die cutting machine such as a Big Shot and the idea of die cutting is not everybody's taste. As a crafter I love to do all types of cards and yes I love my Big Shot but sometimes a simpler approach can give a beautiful result.
Colourful Seasons
Colourful Seasons is a photopolymer stamp set of 24 different images
It is a very versatile set as it can be used at any time of the year including Christmas with the lovely snowflake images and has this lovely deckchair and cold drink with straw which I have used on the card above.
The colour I chose for this card is Lemon/Lime Twist a vibrant green colour ideal for a summery scene.
So if you are a beginner stamper or just starting out why not consider the Colourful Seasons stamp set. All products are available through my shop button above or by clicking any of the highlighted links.
Thanks for dropping by, have a great day and catch you again soon.
The New Annual Catalogue has arrived and it is jam packed full of lots of new exciting products one of which is the Colourful Seasons Bundle 24photopolymer stamps with coordinating 17 dies. This bundle covers all seasons with some lovely sentiments.
To be able to use all of our lovely dies which coordinate so well with all of our lovely stamp sets you will need a Big Shot by Stampin Up This is a considered purchase at £99 but is a complete workhorse and I have had mine for nearly 5 years, have used it daily myself and for classes and it is still going strong. I cannot recommend it highly enough and if you club together with a few friends and put in an order of £525 you can get it for half price making a real bargain.

This is such a lovely saying and perfect for an anniversary card. One of my colleagues at work was celebrating her 28th wedding anniversary and so I thought this would be perfect with a couple of th adirondack chairs a few hearts and some glitter. It always goes towards Stampin Up challenge for this year of #make a card send a card so it was fun to make a card for a special couple.

Very excited today as was playing around trying to create different beach scenes as the weather is so hot and sunny and I came up with an idea of how to turn the Beautiful You lady into a bikini clad beach babe. Wearing a hat in the sea and putting lots of sunscreen on has become the norm these days so she certainly looks very at home in this scene.
