One Sheet Wonder - Part 1

By
This is a technique I was introduced to very early on in my stamping career and I still love it.
The one sheet wonder technique is super easy - stamp all over a sheet of paper then cut it up to make your cards - take a look



Take a piece of A4 paper and stamp an image repeatedly over the paper. This can be any image - I started off with the 2 step flower from Painted Harvest. The pattern can be  regular or symmetrical or they can be totally random - like mine!


This shows the flower with the second lot of stamping on it.


Carry on adding stamped images until the sheet of paper is full or you are happy with the pattern. On mine I used all the images in the set and filled the paper with leaves, acorns and dots.


On the back of the stamped sheet I drew some lines indicating where I was going to cut my sheet. These can make squares, rectangles and triangles. Try not to make them too small but use all the sheet - scraps can be used in all sorts of ways.


This is my sheet cut up as you look at it fro the back.


Here it is from the front.
















Templates can be found on line for cutting the sheet of stamped paper if you are unsure about doing it yourself - mine was found on Pinterest but check out Youtube too.

Come back tomorrow when I will carry on with this project.
See you soon - J xx

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
