Simplicity Sunday: Card with Distress oxides by Melina

Hello!

It´s Melina here today with the first make for our Simplicity Sunday posts. 
These posts will be all about easy makes with a very few stamps used.

I want to apologize for being late with this post! 
I have three sick kids here at home, and it has been a little busy this weekend ;)

For this card I used Mama Owl stamp set. 
I just smudged Distress Oxides Worn lipstick and Fossilized amber on my craft sheet, sprayed with water and picked up on my card. I stamped the flower and branch from the set directly on my card. The owl I stamped on a piece of gelli printed paper and cut out.
I adhered the owl to the card, stamped a sentiment from Beautiful Words stamp set and matted it on black cardstock. Quick and easy!


Thank you so much for stopping by today!
xx Melina

The sweetest of Mama Owls, always brings a smile to my face. Your stamp creation is what has made it easy for us all by giving us this fabulous design. A beauty to behold.
I hope the children are feeling much better now, I remember it well when one after the other falls ill and everything grinds to a halt.
Hugs and best wishes Tracey x

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
