Here is a card i made with Pan Pastels again!. I will do some other stuff, promise.
I just love they way they blend. I added some stickles to the edge of the card and to the flourishes and then some Liquid Pearls to the stems. This is a very quick and easy card to make.
Thank you for looking
This card is a DT card for Hotshot Craft where the challenge is Bling it on.

1 stamp, 2 cards
I have used this set of stamps in classes recently. I like to show how you can be versatile with stamps so here are 2 very different ways of using the stamps.
Here is a sympathy card I have made for a friend who lost her husband recently.
I used Black Pan Pastels and stamps.
For this card I stamped the flower and leaves on patterned paper and cut it out. I stamped around the edge with the flower stamp too.
Thank you for looking

Pan Pastels card
I have been so busy clearing out my craft cupboards i haven't had much time to be creative. But for a couple of weeks i have been showing my class how to use Pan Pastels on their cards.
This card was made using a set of rose stamps which i masked. The background was coloured with 2shades of Pan Pastels. They are available at Hotshot craft at the special price of £4.98 plus free posting..
I used a normal rubber to erase any Pan Pastel that had gone over the roses, so this left the roses white. Lastly i added a bit of Stickles to the roses.

Using Dies
At Totally Gorjuss this week we want you to use you punches and dies.
I have used a Sizzix set of stamps and Dies. I taught this method in my card classes this week. You simply layer up the die cuts to creat a 3D frame. i wish i had taken pictures of the card my ladies made. They all used the same method but all cards were so different. They were wonderful.
So i hope you will join us at Totally Gorjuss this week. Our sponsor is Craftwork Cards. I am sure you are all "dieing" to join us...Ooh bad joke.!

Saturated Canary and Breast cancer
This was the card I made for Totally Gorjuss' Lacy, Lacy theme that I couldn't post, because Blogger wouldn't work!
This is another great Saturated Canary image which I coloured with PM's. The Breast Cancer ribbon was die cut.
This cancer is close to my heart as 10 years ago my mum had the most aggressive form of Breast cancer. But, she was sensible went to the Doctor straight away, was operated, had chemo and radiotherapy and 10 years later now has the all clear. So please ladies, if you have any worries, get it checked!

What can you do with a chipboard book?
We have in stock various designs of chipboard books with book rings.
You might think that all you can do is ...make a book. But why not make a wall hanging?
Items used are available from Hotshot Craft.
Here is one i made using just 3 of the pages of one of the books. (you get 4 pages with this book)
Flowers and leaves were die cut from various card and Pan Pastels used to colour them.
The shimmer on the letters was created by brushing the Shimmer Mod Podge over it. In the Mod Podge starter pack you get 5 bottles- Sparkle, Original Gloss, Original Matte, Outdoor, and Paper Matte.
The ribbon at the top here was cream originally and i coloured it with Pan Pastels.
Why not have a go. If you can't find any of the items used on the web shop then please ring Hotshot Craft to order on 01902 716770
