Happy Birthday Blend Rainbow Sentiment Shaker Card and Two Simple Multi Colour Batch Cards Using The Latest Release from MFT


Hi There Crafty Friends,
I'm on Holiday from work this week, so I am planning to do all those crafty jobs I need to sort. 
Today, was the turn of coloured craft stock. Sorting in to plastic files and labelling colour and brand.
It took far longer than I had first thought.
at least 60 different shades, including company's as, Lawn Fawn, Gina K, and Bazzill.
Not to mention, Tonic, Doddlebug,The Paper box, and Only God knows where.
Purging seemed to be the only way I can run more, of a professional operation her from the box room.
Well enough rambling, and on to today's blog feature.
Rainbow shaker card, with the new release from MFT.


These stamps make stamping multi coloured sentiments so easy.
What ever the combination.

Aqua Card in Mermaid, and Peacock. with Matching Card Stock.

Pink Card In Altenew Ink Colours  Pink Pearl, and Coral Bliss also
Blending the background in Tattered Rose, and Abandoned Coral.

Method

Line up your stamps in your stamp positioner or on an acrylic block.


Decided on what colours as, you will need to work out which letter are going to be in what order.
Here I chose a rainbow order.



Then place the next stamp over. be careful to line it 
up with your sentiment.



When your happy with the saturation of colour
move on to the next word.


Finally it will all come together.


I then created a channel around my sentiments. Using double sided foam tape.


Filled it with Sequins and Confetti


On a separate piece of card size the same,
I lined up my die and cut a window.


I then added acetate. to make the window.
This keep the sequins etc in place.



The Final shaker card. 


I added a few stars and some nuvo drops in coordinating colours.

So whats been going on in the Summers Household......Lately!


Well Hello Crafty Friends
I've been so busy lately. I haven't had a moment to blog about normal life, outside of my Design Team work.
But I'm catching up now.

 I thought you might like to see my four Children, I am very blessed to be a mum to these rat bags lol (hope they don't read my blogs)

I managed to grab a picture of all my children together this year at my granddaughters first birthday. Where do the years go. My eldest will be 30 next year.

This is my Granddaughter Amelia 1 year old



This Is My Grandson Leland 3 years old



I thought it would be nice for people to see the personal side of my life. 

Well back to crafting and ive added some pictures ,of the craft room at the moment but I do reorganise it quiet a bit.





Its a box room, in our house but to me it my (Happy Place) my haven. I waited many year and would craft in the bed room.
 But slowly as the children moved out, it meant, there was a spare box room. As I still have a daughter at home. I took the smallest room as my craft room.
Also no, they can't move back, there's no room left! lol

This year my goal is to be more out in the crafty world, with videos, crafty blogs, and social media bits and pieces. Not to mention design team work and commissions. Yes I think 2019 is going to be the year I start living a life I love.

Kinds regards
and Happy Stamping

Black card stock

Various coloured card stock for adding details to die cuts.

Glossy Accents

Nuvo drops

Follow the instructions on the packet and line up your turnabout jig.

Place Neehah card stock in to misti.
With the number 1 in the right hand corner, start your stamping with your first colour.

Full instructions on my video. ( link above)



Go on to stamp each colour, turning the jig, clockwise each time.


I used Silver embossing powder on one of my layers, as you can remove and replace your image on to the jig. use removable tape on the back of your card stock. as the magnets get in the way.


I then stamped my sentiment in black in the centre of my card.


To embellish my card i die cut the matching dies. I used scraps of coloured card.




Finally I used glossy accents on those die cuts, and Nuvo drops to finish.

 
I have enjoyed this process and will defiantly, be using turnabouts in the future. Its easy to get the hang of it, and now I longer fear the process.


Thank for popping over
Happy Stamping
