Polkadoodles Crafting

Happy Tuesday to you all

Hope you all watched our Nikky Hall on Create & Craft yesterday

Two amazing shows with fabby dabby doo demo's

Here to show you today another sample that I made using a mix up of products featured on the show.

This time I coloured Ula and Christmassed (is that a word?) her up , colouring her in festive reds and greens, I used Graph'It markers to colour

Her headband is a stamp from the

Polkadoodles regal peacock set

Just masked of a little, The sentiment also from the same set.

The paper and bow are from Winnie Winterland Collection

With white sparkly paper I used the following Dies

the leaf stem from

Polkadoodles Bird house set

Polkadoodles Flower Dies

 I just added a little glitter to the flower centers and her wings

Create and Craft TV with Nikky

Hands up if you saw our wonderful Nikky on Create & Craft earlier at 2.00

If you missed the show you can catch up here

AND

Nikky is back on our screens at 7.00 this evening

For my first card that I am showing, I used so many bits and pieces so I hope I don't miss any out

I started off with a brick mask and used modelling paste to create a wall

(first time I have ever used it!)

I used the door die to create the window adding the fence and for the bottom part of the bird house I used the lampost die , this amazing set can be found

here

For my window

I used the door die

and for the inside a scene image from

Winnie Winterland

and then topped with acetate

I used the lush, lush, lush Birdhouse die, and the leaf stem amazing!!

find those here

I finished off die cutting using one of the pretty flowers

I dabbed about using pearl effects Red, these are a must have for Christmas Crafting.

Then on to my finishing piece awwwww the wee little robin, actually he is not that small in real life , big knickers on I used my shrinkles again I love this stuff!!

The biggest tip I was told when using is....If you use your heat gun to shrink rather than the oven make sure its sitting on a big pile of paper to stop it flying of in different directions!

Now the Robin was'nt on todays show , but he so fitted, so much so I made him twice . He can be found in the Polkadoodles store along with a wonderful  cage and lots more goodies, check them out here. I coloured  using pencils

Thank you for looking

Little Bird ~ Tag and Card

Ohhhhh squeal what an exciting week, after a few months break  due to moving I re~newed my subscription to my favourite magazine Simply Cards & Papercraft

(I had to cancel so I was not led into temptation to craft lol)

I am now fully crafting again and have so many ideas and new things I want to try.

Now one thing I do love is using shrinkles

 ( I am very new to this but can see it becoming addictive)

When I saw the freebie's on the mag I immediately grabbed the shrinkles pack!

Talking of freebies........where to start?? Two Die's (bird and wing) ~24 stamps (I counted them twice so I hope I got it right) and then  prima exclusive paper collections , beautiful papers and stunning toppers, I could not wait to start crafting.

I started making the tag first ~ layering up the different papers ,so lush I really did not want to cut them up ! I inked around using distress ink shaded lilac

I used one of the toppers in the center, now here is the fun part

I stamped and die cut the bird onto shrinkles and coloured him in using Polychromo Pencils and then set to work with my heat dryer , I then had the most cutest tiny bird in the world, I stamped the branch , flowers, Love sentiment and his feet using Memento dew drop ink

Die Cut a couple of flowers using another of the papers 

 and finished of with a few Nuvo jewel drops and a slice of ribbon.

I then set about my card , starting with a 6x6 card blank 

I layered up the same papers as the tag

Changing a few ink colours this time I added more stamped detail to the bird and decided to keep him at his original size

Flowers were made the same as before and using two of the stamps * happy bird-day*
