Happy Sunday everyone. Most of us will have been indoors and away from loved ones, family and friends for a while now and it can be hard to stay positive and find ways to keep both mind and body active. For me crafting has always been my passion and in these difficult times I find that it is even more important.
Taking some cardstock, a stamp set and some inks and losing myself in creating something, bring me joy and I can quite easily wile away many hours doing so.
Although we can't go out to the shops at the moment online shopping is a way to buy our supplies delivered to our door, to continue our passion. Stampin' Up! is a great place to get all your crafting supplies from cardstock, patterned paper, inks, stamps and most everything you would get at the local craft store. As an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator you can shop with me easily. Just type https://amethystarcrafting.stampinup.net/ or click Here to go straight there.
Today's project is
using a sponge brayer and some stamps to create a moonlit scene and then adding a stamp and colouring in black to give a silhouette.
Crafting, stamping and papercraft is a great form of relaxation and can help to wile away those hours that we are in isolation. I try and do some crafting every day and like to share simple and easy tutorials that everyone can have a go at.
A simple one layer card using just two ink pads and black. Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry a lovely orange and yellow makes this a bright spring card, with a bit of sunshine in the colours.
Here is the step by step tutorial and I hope you will have a go
Unfortunately at the moment I am unable to upload pictures on my blog, so until I fathom out how to fix this, then there is only the YouTube video tutorial.
Stay safe and well and see you all again soon x

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.
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.
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.
Time is very precious and I like to focus this time on things which I enjoy, are interactive and encourage viewers to take part, comment and show me that the time I am investing is worthwhile.
So, I am taking a step back from my blog, as it is not proving effective for me, and my time is better spent elsewhere.
As you know my YouTube channel is my passion and I am proud to say that I have some lovely interactive subscribers who leave lovely comments and encouragement. With approaching 3.5k subscribers and posting videos 3 times a week this is where my main focus is.
