That's Crafty!: #That'scraftyuk

Hello everyone,

Today I'd like to share a hanging mirror using the large round MDF Surfaces.

Here's those how to do's

Pushing Textured Sand Paste through the Dot Circle stencil onto the surface, I allowed it to dry and repeated the process until I was happy with its dimension. Painting it all with a coat of white Gesso, I then removed the inner dots using tweezers to make the aperture larger.

Spraying the circle with a mixture of Teal and Gold Multi Surface Paint it was then ready to decorate using Multi Purpose Glue, a handful of embellishments including pom-poms and tassels...the height of fashion.

Diluted Chestnut Brown Multi Surface Paint was sprayed over the

embellishments and allowed to flow around the circle, giving a tarnished look.

Liquid Pearls have been used to decorate around some of the gems,

with a circular mirror glued in securely. This was the reason behind

removing those inner dots so the mirror would sit flush on the surface.

A deconstructed necklace has been used to create it's hanger and a

hole punched at the bottom of the circle to hang two tassels on chain.

Pom-poms and tassels seem to be everywhere this year,

I just couldn't resist adding them amoungst the bling..!

Wishing you all a fabulous week until next Thursday.

Take Care, stay safe and

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello Creative Friends..

It's my turn to share some That's Crafty! creativity with today's

creation focusing on the Pantone colour of the 2018 *Ultra Violet*

Here's today's how to do's in words and pictures..

Using one of my MDF Tester Tags (I often use these as a palette to

mix paints and paste) I scratched back some of the surface using a fork.

Amelie was stamped then coloured in pencil using similar colours within the tag.

A left over found flower from Lynnes Affirmations was darkened with a purple brush pen.

Using Sari Yarn I spiralled patterns to create interesting shapes

all glued down using 3D Gel Medium and embellished with flat back gems.

Stippling white paint through the Cobble Stones Dinky Stencil

helps break up some of those shades of purple.

With Amelie glued in place the flower acts as a hair

accessory adorned with a large lilac pearl.

My Tag Creation is complete.

I've never been fond of the colour purple but it seems to be everywhere

at the moment and I must admit Donna's Fabulous Amelie looks fab in any colour.

Thank you for sharing your time

I look forward to sharing more of mine with you all

the same time next week.

Take care everyone

Hello Creative Friends,

It's time to share another That's Crafty! Creation, this week using New Stencils.

Onto an A4 Journal Page I traced through the 8x8 Dylan Stencil with pencil sketching

out some of the finer details and added an upper torso to fill in some of the page.

Adding watetcolour pencil activating with water I let each application dry

before building up more colour layers repeating the process until happy.

I used the new Circle Line Stencil to fill in the background space. Drawing through the

stencil with the watercolour pencils this time activating by dabbing over with a wet sponge.

I repeated this process until all the background space way full.

When dry I highlighted around the background image with both a black and white pen.

I was planning on adding stamps and wording to the background

but I quite liked the balance of the 3D effect alongside the stencilled portrait

so decided to leave it just as.. well for now anyway...!

I hope you like it..?

Thank you for sharing your time,

I look forward to sharing more of mine with you all very soon.

Wishing you much creativity

and a great week ahead.

Hugs

Happy Thursday Creative Friends..!

Today I share another make using newly released stamps from That's Crafty!

this time creating with The Houses Collection designed by Melina Dahl.

Dragging and scraping Multi Surface Paint over the surface of an 8 x 8" MDF Chunkie

I pushed 3D Gel Gloss Medium through a *Coming Soon* Stencil.

Highlighting the raised stencil area with dabs of Silver and Gold Multi Surface Metallics.

Three of the houses were stamped and embossed onto the co-ordinating white/greyboard surfaces

and painted using watered down Multi Surface Paints.

Dragging colour on to a label plate included in the white/greyboard House surfaces

I stamped and embossed a sentiment, one of two included in the stamp set.

Dots and dashes in pen was added to the stencil design to bring areas out.

Layered up onto the Chunkie using foam pads my scene is complete and ready to display.

*Please note where the hanging hole is when putting your design together

unlike me who forgot completely.. Oh well I'm sure it will look fine as a standing display!!*

There is something so warming about a house stamp
that always gives me that feeling of coming Home..!!

Please join Neil Burley & That's Crafty! tomorrow on Hochanda

Friday 9th March at 11am & 4pm featuring
the new Chunkie surfaces, stamp designs and mediums.

Wishing you much creativity.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well and warm..??

Today I'm sharing a little make using newly released

That's Crafty! stamps designed by Donna Gray.

I know Fred has been so excited to see what the Design Team

has been creating and with him being the main Character who can blame him?..

Here goes..

On to an off cut of Distress Oxide mop up I masked off

the ends of the fishy washing line and stamped it twice

leaving a gap for Freddy to sit admiringly in the middle.

Glued onto an MDF 6x6" Chunky (Coming Soon)

I sanded down the edges to get a clean finish.

Stamping Freddy and the fish bones multiple times,

I painted and cut Freddy out, layering him up.

Enamel Accents adds dimension to the fish bones,

with the heads and tails cut, coloured in silver and layered on top.

Silver pen also adds highlights to those fishy bones.

The head and tail of the larger fish bone stamp

seemed irresistible not to be used in this way!!

Glossy Accents eyes add to Freds adorability

He looks like butter wouldn't melt!!

With printed words glued onto a whiteboard name plate

it really seems to sum up Freds day..

I do hope Fred likes it..

and you of course!

Until next week

Take Care everyone

Hello Crafters!

Tuesday has come around again and it is my turn for the blog post and today I have a pretty little canvas using parchment to stamp onto.

I started off with a hard board canvas 8" x 6" and used the smooth That's Crafty! Texture Paste through the Floral Background Dinky stencil. When this was dry I coloured the background using a few different coloured Distress Oxides and then sponged over with the Pearl paint from the That's Crafty! Multi-Surface Paints. This gave a lovely gloss finish to the background.

I then went on to stamp the butterflies and the leaves and these were stamped onto parchment paper and then embossed with a glitter embossing powder to bring in a little sparkle. I also used the lace border stamp onto parchment to pop through the middle of the design to break up the background.
I cut out all the elements and then adhered them to the canvas. A few pearl flowers dotted around and some stamped words finish off this pretty little project.

I hope that you like it and that it has given you a little inspiration.

Bye for now
Jo :)

It's Thursday everyone and my day to share a little

That's Crafty! creativity.

This one is for all the Mum's and Mom's out there..

Using a good quality watercolour paper, I drenched in water, dripped, flicked

and dropped watered down Multi Surface Paints into those page puddles.

From the Textures stamp set I stamped and embossed the rose in white also on watercolour card, sprayed with water and added that diluted paints, the embossing powder acts as a great resist. The rose leaves were stamped onto the excess background.

Cut out and spraying with water again I edged around the roses with the diluted paints,

how thirsty watercolour paper can be, but it always lets you know when it has had enough

Onto one of the cut to size backgrounds edged in co-ordinating machine stitching

the rose and leaves are layered up. These leaves have been given a twist of wire.

and the other given glitter glue veins.

Sequins, gems and buttons pick up the colours of the background

with a spray of gold sparklers spray to add shimmer and shine.

A labelling machine helps find those words for my Mum and Mom,

(we have one of each in our family.)

With Mother's Day being extra early this year

I can see these coming in handy.

Thank you for sharing your time, I look forward to sharing more
That's Crafty Creativity with you all the same time next week.

Creative wishes
Tracey xx
