Need a flower for that! 19 June 2018
Welcome back. As you may have noticed, Wirgie's really getting in to the video tutorials. I do love to write my blog posts but I've found I can share much faster and easier with you if I make a video of how I create rather than still photos. I'll include some stills in this as well though.
Want a bit of a template? You can save this image and use it to trace around.
I love flowers. In fact, I love to make my own flowers. That way I never run out of them, I can make them any size or colour I want/need. With this tutorial I am recycling a 30cm square sheet of tissue paper that came in between the fabulous new Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Speciality Papers. I'll share about those another time. There were many sheets of white tissue paper between the laser-cut sheets and I don't like to waste paper. This tissue is a nice bright white as well and I thought how lovely it would be turned into a flower. Now I know I've used a retired punch for this video but like I've mentioned, you can use dies through your bigshot or even hand cut them out. It's not hard at all, being tissue paper, to cut through with a good pair of sharp paper snips/scissors.

Here is my finished flower, isn't it pretty?
And here are two flowers I made a few years ago to decorate an up-cycled mint tin, different flower punches but the same technique. The bigger was made with brown packing paper and the small black one with black tissue paper.
so, til next time,
Happy stamping colouring, crafting and creating!

How do I do that then? 18June2018
G'day everyone, a quick blog post today with a youtube clip that I thought may interest you. I've been asked a few times how I decorate the insides of my cards. Nothing unique in what I do at all I thought. I've had lovely comments so I made a quick video to share with you. I'm hoping you can see it fine here. I have resurrected my Youtube channel today and think it may be easier to share my tutorials from there rather than send you all to my dropbox account.

Below the link is a list of products I've used. The paper is plain old photo copy paper cut down to size. FYI you can purchase A5 sized reams these days. I get mine from Office works.
Til next time,
happy stamping, colouring and creating!

Re-inkers rule! 15 June 2018
Sooo last week I showed you how to dye your white ribbons using re-inkers mixed with rubbing alcohol. This week moving along the same lines of using re-inkers I want to show you how you can water colour backgrounds using your re-inkers and water this time. It's a technique that has been around for forever and a day but it's seems to be having a bit of a revival lately. How did I make this pretty colour background? It's all in the type of card stock you use and a bit of fun too!
TIP: cut your Shimmer white card stock down to the size of the card front you want first, that way you won't waste any if you stuff up, like I did after I made the video, but you won't see it in the finished card ;-)
After a bit of practice, I've got my Youtube channel working again, yay!

Want to place an order this month? Here is June 2018's Host code.
Place this code in your June orders. When you spend over $250 on products in one online shop with me,you automatically earn rewards so don't need this code. However, if you don't spend that much and I have a total of orders valued over $250 combined for the month, I will selected a customer randomly to send a surprise out to. So remember to register with my shop so I know who you are. I do get orders from many who don't register. It's hard to know who to thank. And I thank you all for your wonderful orders since I came back in March this year. You have all helped me be promoted in record time!

Painting with bleach! 9th June 2018
Continuing on from yesterdays FF@F blog post, I got my lighting sorted and have finished this card incorporating some of the Poppy Parade dyed ribbon. Below this post is a list of supplies I used. But I want to share with you how I coloured in the flowers that I'd stamped and white embossed.
When you paint with bleach, you can hurry the process up a bit by drying the area with your heat tool. However, I've found leaving the painted item over night or from morning til later in the afternoon gives the bleach a good opportunity to bleach the card stock. Stampin Up's cardstock is coloured right the way through. Not all colours bleach as well as each other but you can see by this sample strip I did, the new In Colours plus Poppy Parade and Blackberry Bliss bleach amazingly!
Note: when using bleach, chose an aqua painter brush and keep it just for using bleach. I've put some washi tape on mine and know it's the only one to put bleach in. I tried once using a regular paint brush but it ate away the bristles. I've left bleach in an aqua painter brush for years and it's still working as good as new.
Here are some card fronts stamped with versamark then white heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I used ordinary house hold bleach, Coles no-frills brand and filled the barrel of my aqua painter brush 2/3's. You don't need a lot. Have a piece of old cloth or a tissue folded near by to blot excess. I only pained where the flowers and the stems are. Pretty neat effect!
Here's a card finished. I've used some of my hand dyed seam binding from yesterday too. Look how cute those buttons are too! Hope you find this little tip handy. And yes, don't use your jeans/dressing gown to wipe your bleach brush either, ask me how I know ;-) Don't forget to decorate the insides of your cards too, they look super spesh when done.
Aren't these tinted faceted buttons gorgeous! I had some of the clear ones a few years ago. Love that they brought these out in the new catalogue coz they do look very pretty.
