Christmas Countdown from Daisy’s

Posted on by

Hi Everyone
Yes another relaxing Christmas item from Daisy’s that I did a demo for on Hochanda TV.
This is such a fun project using the chlkboard kit and adding holly leaves from the accessories!

The Decoart Chalkboard paint is easy to use, I like to apply with a sponge and add a couple of layers as its going to get some wear and tear in December!
The holly was painted Black-Green to show off the red berries, I will add Glossy Accents to give a shine.

I restricted the pallette to bright Christmas colours and silver sparkle. The highlights were with white Posca Pen which works really well with acrylic paints, which I used throughout.

The kits are available from Daisy’s Jewels Crafts.

Enjoy

Christmas Frame

Posted on by

I was so excited at make a debut on Hochanda TV and demonstrate for Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts.

I had lots of interest in the technique I applied on the Christmas Frame.

First apply a coat of Titan Buff acrylic paint to the backing and the frame and dry. No need to wipe residue or gesso.
Take a brown Archival ink pad, I used Potting Soil from Wendy Vecci. Drag the pad in lines across each piece, turning as you finish each stripe, easy!!

I used Guilding Flakes to cover the script and two embellishments, also from Daisy’s pack.

I used Daisy’s mdf glue to hold the mdf in the slots.

Daisys Christmas Cards

Posted on by

Hi

There is something quite therapeutic about creating Christmas cards in July!! No rush or hassle, sit in the sun and have fun….. try it.

The new Christmas Papers from Scrapberry are fun, subtle colours and deigns with a great topper sheet.

I cut a black matt to fit the card, tore 3 different designs and inked the edges silver. I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges with blue and red thread. I love how the stitches randomly skip.

The cute toppers were cut out, mounted on black circles and stitched. I glued them on, the ice skates were raised on foam tape and the mdf snowflake tied on with silver elastic. I added dots and stitches with a white Posca pen.

The Scrapberry Papers and MDF are available from Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts.

Triple Photo Frame

Posted on by

Hi, such exciting news, I am going to be on Hochanda TV, Freeview 85!!!

I am showcasing Daisy’s MDF range on Sunday, July 8th, two live shows at 10am and 2pm.

I went to the studios last Wednesday for an Induction Day. I had a filmed demo and prepped this frame.

I began by painting both frame and backing with DecoArt Chalky Paint in Relic. I brayered a splatter stamp with Copper Docraft paint, random stamping on the frames. Please don’t forget to clean your stamp immediately of the paint will dry. Use any spare paint to cover sentiments and embellishments.

I joined the frames together with florist copper wire. cut about 3 inches and bend into a U shape, push through the adjoining holes and bend across at the back., I left a gap to show at my demo!

The photos are attached with self-adhesive magnets. A small piece stuck on the back of the hearts and the other section on the backing.

The photos can be changed as you wish.

Hope you like the frame, available from Daisy’s Jewels and Crafts.

Hope you can join me on Hochanda!
