Deck the Halls Christmas Card using Nuvo Glitter Markers and Distress Oxides

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card to share that has been inspired by the classic Christmas song of which these stamps are also named after - Deck the Halls by Imagine Design Create! I decided on the classic Christmas colours of red and green for this one.


I used the snowflake from the HO wording for the edges as well stamping in Lucky Clover Distress Oxide and the other wording in Onyx Black Versafine Ink.
I coloured the sentiment with Tonic Nuvo Ember Glow Glitter Markers.

Fiskarettes UK Wedding Scrapbook Layout using Fiskars Paper Trimmer and Heart Punch

Hello Everyone! 

Continuing on my scrapbooking of my Italian adventure here is a layout with some photos, from the Wedding, of my Brother and Sister-in-Law at the reception. 



For my photo frames I used my Fiskars Trimmer to cut out the middles - very easy with the measuring ruler and grid. 


I added some red love hearts to match the favour sweet bag and used my daisy punch for the flowers.


I love the idea of adding items from the day to the page, so the sweet bag was for the favours and the ivory ribbon was my daughter's ribbon, that had a flower on it for her wrist.


More inspiration can be found on the facebook Fiskarettes UK page and on Instagram! Sadly this is my last project for my 4 month term but I've had such a fun time. Looking forward to seeing what the new DT create!

Fiskarettes Scrapbook Hungry Caterpillar Page using the Fiskars Shape Cutter

Hello Everyone! 

Today I am sharing an Scrapbook Page featuring the Hungry Caterpillar I made for the Fiskarettes using my Fiskars Shape Cutter.


I used the oval template as a rough guide to free hand cut the separate peices for my caterpillar.



Trying to line each piece up with the illustration from the book.



I then used my Distress Oxides to smoosh the ink with an acrylic block on each piece to colour the caterpillar in. 
 

To recreate some of the  story I used the Ampersand punch and the Butterflu Squeeze Punch. This is a book my Daughter and I love to read and was one of my childhood favourites too!

More inspiration can be found on the facebook Fiskarettes UK page and on Instagram!
