QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME Q: I am looking to use up old fabric scraps from my stash. I would love to add them to a card project… Any suggestions? A: Using random fabric scraps is a great way to add texture to your cards! I also like to add some stitching to tie the look together and create extra interest. Take a look at this cross-stitch border technique and try it for your next project. Your possibilities are endless! See page ?? for more ideas! Equipment Choose any thread or threadable material you have. You can use anything you have lying around in your craft box! Make sure you use a sponge under the card to ensure the needle goes all the way through leaving the hole for the thread.…

1 Choose a stamp to use and stamp on clean white card. I have chosen one that has a similar feel to stitching as on the teddy bears clothing you can see some patched up areas. This will help to tie in with the overall look and feel of the card. 2 Begin by colouring your stamped image with watercolour pencils. Here I have coloured the moon in yellow ensuring I go darker in shadow prone areas and lighter where light would hit. 3 Before using water I also included a touch of grey in the darker areas. Brush with a little water. 4 Continue all the way through and finish by cutting it out and placing on a new coloured card. TIP Find out how to do the stitching…

Sponging the edges of a die-cut 1 Die-cut your image using a ‘tan’ mat and layers following the manufacturers’ instructions. 2 Leave the die in place with the blade facing downwards, sponge around the outer edges using chalks or an ink pad. 3 Remove the die to reveal the outcome. Applying Texture Paste 1 Secure card and stencil to your workspace with low-tack or washi tape. 2 Spread the texture paste across the stencil evenly using a spatula. 3 Gently peel the stencil away from the card and let it dry. Copic Feathering Technique 1 Hold the marker on an angle, touch the tip to card then flick it outwards easing off at the end. 2 Create a block of colour with a feathered edge as shown. 3 Repeat on…

FOLLOW YOUR HEART DESIGNED BY HELEN COOKE Featured on page 20 “I’m always on the lookout for new stamps, especially if they happen to be whimsical or quirky. When these Stampendous stamps caught my eye, I could instantly see how much fun I would have with them. I really enjoy colouring and these stamps are perfect with their bold, clean lines. I have used my favourite Prismacolor pencils as not only do they come in a wide variety of colours but when they are blended, magic happens! In a strange way, I find fussy cutting relaxing and when the images are popped onto foam dots, not only do they stand out from the background but they seem to come alive! This set of cards has such a cheerful look that…

Just saying hello from sunny QLD! Thank you for including the small dies feature in your last issue. I think the idea is just adorable and I can’t wait to try it out on my next card. I have a friend’s baby shower coming up and I will use mini dies to make her a special something. Baby dies for a baby themed card! Lana, QLD ED – Thank you for your kind words Lana! We are so happy to hear that you found some inspiration for your latest card projects. The small die feature from CSP Vol 23 No 5 was a favourite of ours too! The small dies are definitely undervalued and we would love to see more crafters using them. I am just writing in to tell…
