Clearly Besotted, the MISTI and a video!

Hey – so as one of my 2015 goals I fancied having a go at making some more videos and today I’m sharing my first one.  I have created a fairly simple card using the MISTI (Most Impressive Stamp Tool Invented)- if you haven’t come across this tool yet then check it out at My Sweet Petunia.  Iliana has a ton of great videos showing all the things you can use the MISTI for so I recommend you take a look.   Simon Says Stamp also stock it but it is currently on reserve – the demand has been enormous!  For my card I used one of the brand new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted (available to purchase at 10pm tomorrow night – 5th Feb) called Simple Silhouettes.  If you watch my video – please be gentle – I know I say “umm” a lot, I need to work on that!!  Here’s my card:

Friends Forever

and here’s the video.

Laugh Out Loud

Teaser Time

It’s day 2 of the Clearly Besotted teasers for February 2015 and today I’m sharing a card featuring a FABULOUS set called Laugh Out Loud.  Sometimes you want something on your card a bit different to the usual “Happy Birthday” sentiment.  Well this set has what you need – some funny quotes to give your recipient a wee giggle!  I particularly like “Smile, while you still have teeth”  – LOL!!

I created a bunch of balloons using some simple masking and then coloured them with Copics and finally a coating of clear Wink of Stells (which for once you can actually see in the photo!!).

Make sure you pop over to Steph’s blog and the rest of the design team for more inspiration.

To A Special Friend – Clearly Besotted February 2015

Teaser Time

 

Hey!  It’s a new month and that means the start of the peeks at the new release coming from Clearly Besotted in February.  As always, Stephanie and Jenny have outdone themselves and have created the most gorgeous stamp and die sets ever!  One of my favourites is the Friends Forever set.  I used the beautiful tulip image and coloured it with watercolours.  This was made for my friend Kate who just celebrated her 40th birthday – woo hoo!  I didn’t have quite the right colour of twine that I wanted for my card so I dyed some natural cord from Hemptique with a matching Copic marker (can’t remember exactly which one – sorry!!).

As well as my fabulous teamies, Amy Gray (was Wanford!!), Debby Hughes and Michelle Short  (Mandy is off gallivanting around NZ – lucky thing) We have some amazing guest designers joining us again this month – I adore them all – Lucy Abrams, Jo Neville and Jen Nelson.  Pop by their blogs for tons of fabulous inspiration xxx
