A new Video tutorial

You have probably seen the one and only Video Tutorial I had made until recently...

There's a link on my side bar

but here it is again

It involved heat embossing a watermark, using the Big Shot and Tim Holtz rosettes.

 

I made this when I was still living in Abu Dhabi and was DT for Pretty Paper Studios in Dubai - in fact it is thanks to them that I started blogging at all.

Anyway recently I was asked by Craftstash

 if I would be interested in making some tutorials for them...

One thing they suggested was making them a maximum of 5 minutes - that first one above was 10 minutes long - I did go on a bit!!

So here is my first one using Craftstash dies

Apple Blossom A little Bird told me

and

Apple Blossom Birdcage

Here is the gatefold card I show you how to make...

and this is the link

Hope you watch - and enjoy it!!

Happy Crafting!

Friday Favourites - ATCs

Friday seems to be my day for making ATCs - and I must admit they are one of my favourite makes!

This Friday I made one using the Delicious Doodles image 'Snowdrop Fairy'

 and you will see the post in a day or so...

 Last week I made my Favourite Colour set.

 I am happy to say after posting in India last Saturday, my package arrived in the UK

 in a matter of days!

My first one just featured this lovely embroidered butterfly embellishment

 that I picked up in Naiff Street, Dubai

 and also the swirly, shimmery, orange hand-made paper from here in India.

This paper features in three of these five ATCs - and there's a Birthday theme appearing in some too...

My second features 'triple stamping' - one of my favourite techniques - to see how

it's done look at a facebook photo album I prepared for a friend a year or so ago,

or a tutorial I wrote for Pretty Paper Studios, Dubai when I was on their DT.

 

Another butterfly!

I used embossing folders and ribbon for the final three, trimming to the size required.

Oh - my favourite colour is orange!!

Happy Crafting!
