Crafting for a positive mental attitude Day 3

Morning everyone hope you are all safe and well.  Todays project is simple spritzing with stamps and the lovely stamp set Painted Poppies





Spritz the stamp once inked then stamp onto white cardstock. Colours I used were Gorgeous Grape and Coastal Cabana, but chose two colours of your choice which compliment each other.

Then ink up the outline of the poppy and choosing the Gorgeous Grape stamp over the spritzed background. Use the leaf stamp in the Coastal Cabana on the spritzed background in that colour.

Another simple and easy technique with a lovely finished card.

Watch the step by step tutorial and then have a go yourself.

See you tomorrow for another simple and easy crafting idea for you to have a go at.

Crafting to keep a positive mental attitude Day 2

Morning everyone, hope you are all safe and well.

Todays craft idea is another simple card idea using the Painted Poppies stamp set



This time we are using the large splodge, which can be used to fill in the inside of the poppies.

Take two complimentary ink pads, I chose Pool Party and Highland Heather and on the other card Granny Apple Green and Mint Macaron.

Stamp twice in each colour, four times down the page and then add a sentiment of your choice and stamp it in black over the top of the coloured stamping.

This makes a quick and simple card, yet bright and cheerful for any occasion.

Watch the step by step tutorial and then have a go yourself.

Stay safe and well and see you again tomorrow.

Crafting to keep a Positive Mental Attitude Day 1

We all find ourselves in difficult times at the moment, staying at home and being unable to visit our family and friends. Some of us are lucky to be in family units, others are on our own. Whatever situation you may be in it is certainly an unprecedented time.

Having not been blogging for a month, I am going to be back to blogging, connecting us all with crafting ideas to help us all get through the coming weeks and months.  Yes my focus has been on my YouTube channel, posting 3 tutorials a week, and will continue to connect with you all in this way too.

Using stamps, ink and paper with a few dies and punches and dies, lets have some fun and create together.

Lets start with a quick and simple rainbow card using the PaintedPoppies stamp set This card is made by stamping the lovely splodge from the stamp set.

Using a rainbow of ink pads, choose whichever combination you like.

Watch the step by step video tutorial and then have a go yourself.

Rainbows are always bright and cheery and with the sentiment A Great Big Wish For Happiness it is what we all need at the moment.

Come back tomorrow for another simple card using the same stamp set.

Stay safe and well.
