Projects at Make It

Ohhhh it's good to be home! Although it has to be said Make It was full of lovely people. It was great to get the time to talk to so many of you and share tips, hints and particraft knowledge! Thank you to those of you who have emailed us, it was great to come back to such a positive warm response. I thought I would share a couple of projects with you, I made these during Make it and it would appear you just could not get enough of the Radiant Rain, but I have to say I also loved this combination
I also really enjoyed playing with alcohol inks (but then again when don't I!) The combination of Alcohol inks and Fancy pants stamps had many of you creating your very own wish lists during the show! Don't forget if you would like to place an order with us you can create your wish list by clicking here, your order will then be passed onto a PartiCraft Demonstrator


Not being content with just making cards with my Alcohol Inks I whipped up an A4 Scrapbook page using the left over pieces
One of things I really enjoyed doing this weekend was comparisons between Products, I made some quick teddy cards the following one is painted with distress inks, there is such a spectrum of colours with the distress inks that I love using them for Watercolouring techniques

This next one has been painted using the Cosmic Shimmer Pigments I love the Circus Brights Set as it has some great strong colours

Sheena and I will be busy again training our new demonstrators but in the mean time we will also be getting started on some new projects. We have some fab new ideas that I cannot wait to get started :)

Hurrah More PartiCraft projects!!

The card

Here is the pic - isn't he cute?! I love this stamp and cannot wait to have time to play with it a little more.

I want to say thank you to all the ladies that attended Jane's Party last night and also to Carol for her hospitality during the training today. Hopefully I shall have some more creations to share with you tomorrow x

Variations

Well I liked the card I did last night so much that I taught it during my craft group today, it was fab as it meant I could cover a couple of techniques too - so I thought I would share a couple of the variations I did today
This one is a colour and slight style variation and the one below was a colour and different embellishment variation

This afternoon I have been preparing for my training session tomorrow which is taking place in Surrey, I cannot wait! I also have another training day on Thursday so it is definately all go in the PartiCraft Camp, Sheena had a training session today and she informed me she got cakes! Well I would like to state here and now if any of my Demonstrators would like to make cakes you will certainly get loads of smiles, hugs and of course mentions on my blog too! And if anyone is so inclined toffee beats cake hands down!

By all accounts her training day was a great success and she even brought back a couple of cards that Lynn had made so pop on over to her blog to take a look

Midnight Crafting

Midnight crafting? Ok well not completely but nearly - I have been creating in a different way today and it has all been computer work and it is top secret so shhhh...... (will tell you all when I can!) so I thought I would sneak in a quick card before I get to snuggle into my bed so here it isI love orange and black - it is such a striking colour combination and the slight accent of the cream really makes the detail stand out - this is a very different style of card for me but I like to push myself in other directions sometimes just to keep that creative flow going! Also I think sometimes it is great to create quick cards you know the start to finish in 10 mins kinda of card and that is all this one took - the clearing up mind, well that took a little longer!

Products used:
Black linen 12 x 12 Cardstock
Thank you unmounted rubber stamp set
2 x Cream A6 Card Blanks
My own Circle punch
Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink (love this ink pad!)
Black Archival Ink pad
Black journaling Pen

I stamped the images and made the ornage paper ribbon form the second g=cream card blank

Heart Card

Sometimes colours just fall together perfectly; as if they were just waiting for you, well that is exactly how this card came together
I used:
Fancy Pants Dessert Paper
Ivory Card stock
Cranberry Adirondack Ink Pad
Shabby Shutters Distress Ink Pad
Key Lime Ribbon Pack

Forever Yours Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set

The Cranberry and Shabby shutters inks went perfectly with the stamps, papers and the Key Lime Ribbon - and after the card was done Cranberry Adirondack ran away with Shabber Shutters and got united , let's hope they do not live to regret that decision for I am sure future ink unisons will prove to be just as good if not better.........
