Colour-in Card Kit - Teddies... by Kaz

 

This week I’ve been playing with some more of the colour-ins and discovered that you can use Copics on this card which pleased me more than you can imagine!!

I haven’t done any step by steps for colouring with Copics as I’m still very much a learner in that department, but what I can tell you to do is to start light, build up the shading and blend and blend again.

I’ve used the colour-ins to decorate a basic photo frame for a friend’s Christmas present and a couple of quick and easy cards. I got the frame in Ikea, but I have bought them from Wilkinsons before. They are usually around £1 for a 3 pack making them perfect for us alterers.

The Teddies Card Kit is available HERE.

 

You can see how I’ve made them ~{here}~ 

See you next week

The Day I Met H!m.

Before I go any further ... I must say ... you did ask ... so when I go on and on and on about Tim ... the man that can cross mountains in his lunch hour while designing new products and preparing Chrissy tags for his blog ... Holtz ... you have only got yourselves to blame!

Where shall I start? The beginning seems like a good place!

I fell in love with Tim's Mona stamp ... back in the day ... when I was young and naive ... from there I discovered the book and the DVD ... at this point I just worshiped his crafting and never thought in a million sparkly bits that I would one day meet him!

Then a phone call ... Tim was appearing in London in a craft shop in a few day ... Could I make it? Duh! Yeah!

A holiday request ... two train rides and three tubes later there he was! I think he got a plane actually ... it was me that got the train :0). He sat down and made magic with buff tags and distress inks and blending tools and paint dabbers and stamps ... that is when the Ranger bug bit me ... I couldn't get the stuff in my basket quick enough and I have wondered from that day to this why they don't have trolleys in craft shops!

He was patient and gentle and handsome  and uber talented ... he demoed for about an hour and then invited questions ... I asked him to give me a cheeky grin for my camera and he said ... "Come around we can have a picture together"  *swoon*. 

I do recall telling him I loved him ... he studied the pieces of our art that we showed him ... he signed anything and everything we put in front of him ... he was kind and complimentary ... he sent this tag to my mate that compensated slightly for the rather blurred picture I took of him ... with her ... what? ... I said sorry ... my hands were shaking ... then he left ... and I have been grinning ever since! What a great bloke he is!

So c'mon you guys ... spill ... Who inspires you?

Nov 09 kit - Christmas Pocket Book - by Kathy

Hi there

Today I've got the first part of a project using the wonderful new November Kit "Christmas Magic", based around the Fancy Pants Paper Collection of the same name.  This kit is just gorgeous, fab colours and designs and Caroline has of course added in lots of beautiful matching embellishments; ribbons, flowers, chipboard - it's all in there.

Find out all about the kit HERE

I've started making a little album which will hopefully record the run-up to Christmas in our house.  So this week it's the low-down on how to make the basic book.  Over the next few weeks I'll update you on how I'm getting on - maybe this will be the encouragement I need to actually complete the book - feel free to nag!

Winter Wonderland by Sarah

Today I would like to show you the beautiful Autumn Leaves Christmas papers designed by Rhonna Farrer. They are very modern, bright and funky, just my kind of papers.

You can see the full collection HERE.   Whilst you are on the shop and possible in the mood for getting ready for Christmas, why not check out the Christmas section as well.  And don't forget there are also some Christmas goodies in the Kit section HERE...

You can see the LO I created using the Papers HERE.  Living in the North East of Scotland means were are blessed, or cursed depending on how much you like the snow, lol,  with plenty of snow.  It makes for some lovely photo's to scrap though.

Showcasing Margaret Sherry Colour-Ins by Kaz

 

Over the next few weeks I shall be showing you some projects with some crafty stuff that has taken me so far out of my comfort zone that I need a map to get back in again!! Caroline asked me first and I accepted the challenge. I’ve started off with the easy bits this week. Well I’ve got to start gently.

 

So this week I’m showcasing the one set of Margaret Sherry colour-ins. These are actually gorgeous images that can be used for a selection of cards. They are also a bargain (which you know I love) as you get 3 sheets of images.  They are available in a little Celebrations Colour-in Kit HERE...

 

As they are sketches, they fit in very nicely with my love of doodling and you can what I’ve made with them HERE………….

 

 

I will be using a different set of Colour-Ins next week to make a gift. Hope to see you then,

 

Kaz xxx

Soooo excited to be here!

Hellooooo ... I am so excited to be here ...

A short while ago I got a lovely email from Caroline inviting me to be part of her design team... I had a long hard think ... for all of two seconds ... and said yes.

I shall be posting regular projects and things for you to look at every Monday ... so if you want anything in particular ... just shout ... 

First things first ... here is a little bit about me ...

My name is Linda Elbourne and I have been crafting since forever in one form or another. My passion for stamping took over about 5 years ago. I am a Ranger girl at heart and love nothing more than trying new things and getting inky and messy ... My style is eclectic ... if that is a style :0) and I will give anything a go at least once! I have been known to sky dive and abseil on occasion! I am extremely proud to have been asked to join the design team at Bubbly Funk and I can't wait to start playing with Caroline and the other Design team members.

Here is my blog - A Crafting Journey...

... and this is what I do ...

 
Most of all I am looking forward to getting to know you guys better ... Have a great Monday ...

October kit - Heavenly Paper - by Ruth

G'Day Bubblies

I'm sure you have worked it out by now that this one single piece of paper has been making my heart go Boom Boom ever since I first saw it on the internet......."oh my".....how lucky are we that Caroline has brought it to the masses in this kit (Oct Kit now sold out)!!

Sometimes it's difficult to work with a printed image on a piece of 12 x12 and it can seem a bit daunting but it doesn't have to be.

 Here are some on my handy hints:

Try not to just mount a photo into the centre of an image laden page or it will look like its floating.

 Sometimes just cutting the one line around an image will help and you can slip your matted photo in behind it.( Make sure you have a good clean blade in your craft knife and a glass chopping board and you can cut through anything!!)

This paper could be cut down to make a lovely wall hanging in the shape of a 6x12.

Or cut in half to make 2 cards each with half of the gate or one card with the whole gate?

......See I told you don't be afraid of it there are lots of wonderful things you could make, and whilst we're at it think of the titles......Gateway to my Heart, Waiting for Daddy with a photo of a child waiting at the gate......come on lets get creative!!

Please take a peek HERE at how I made this layout and pop into the shop HERE to order this heavenly kit!!

Oct 09 kit - The Pudding Club - by Kathy

Hi there,

Welcome to another Thursday edition of Bubbly Scrumptious

'This week, I've been making use of the templates that form one of the Add-Ons to the October kit.

They are fun to use and offer lots of scope for all sorts of projects.  This time I've used the Christmas Pudding template and made a full-size shaped card and also four more cards using miniature versions of the template

You can find them by clicking HERE.  I hope you feel inspired to have a go yourselves.

Easy Peasy Quickie Batch Christmas Cards

 It’s at this time of year that I start to panic about getting all the crafting done in time for Christmas. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. It’s the one time of year that you have to get off your backside and make contact with the people you have been promising to get in contact with during the year, so that you don’t lose touch. And that means you have a heap of cards to make.

 

So with this in mind, I am going to show you how to make simple, but stylish cards that will be done in a flash.

 

You can see how I made them ~{here}~.

November Kit - Christmas Magic

The November monthly kit is on sale 1st November, but here is a peek at whats on offer...

 
The kit contains the gorgeous papers from Fancy Pants - Christmas Magic and is teamed with coordinating Fancy Pants embellishments together with some Prima magic too.  The kit is to die for, and a must-have for your Christmas crafting!!  Check out the shop on Sunday 1st November....

My first project with this kit is a canvas, inspired by the canvas Ruth did with the October Kit, and I've also used some new chipboard from Tando Creative - on sale on the shop sooooon!

See my canvas HERE....

October Kit - Tinkering with templates and tiny boxes - by Ruth

Hello Bubblies...

I have been playing with the Personal Impressions Templates this week. They are incredibly easy to use and oh such fun!! You get 10 in a pack for £6.95 and they are so well designed., even I made a card with them-shock horror!

The pretty K&CO rub-ons came in handy on this card.

I just had to make the sleigh template and used my old trick of placing a matchbox in the middle as a seat! Now Hubby will have no excuse to light those log fires at Christmas!

 I crackle painted a paper mache box and made some of Kathys torn flowers to poke into my little flowers. I had bought some bells for my sleigh but they were too big so I tied one onto the side of this box.

 
 Ding-a-ling-a-ling....it won't be long now........have you got your gift boxes and cards  made yet?

I get the feeling I am going to get many weeks of christmassy ideas from the Personal Impressions templates....I can feel a fairy made with a doiley coming on........

Oct 09 kit - Sparkle and Bloom- by Kathy

Hi there

Today I've got Christmas Sparkle and Birthday Blooms to share - and both use the same basic design and techniques so if you really can't be doing with making Christmas cards yet, you can have a go at the birthday version, and if you're all raring to go with your glitter primed for action, well, maybe you'll try out the Christmas model!
 


Both use all sorts of bits and pieces from the October kit, but need a few extras from you stash - even if you don't have exactly what I've used on my cards, you're bound to have something in your stash you can use to make these two so no excuses1

Click HERE to head straight over to the project, I hope you enjoy it.

Halloween Card Kit - Card and Bookmark

This is the final project I’ve made using the Halloween Card Kit, so I thought I’d go back to the Halloween theme.

 

I’ve made a card and a matching bookmark using the spider stamp as inspiration. Now I’m not a spider fan, especially those of those with big bottoms and dark hairy legs, but I do happen to think this spider is a bit cute.

 

The Halloween Card Kit is available ~{here}~.

 

You can see how I made them by clicking ~{here}~.

 

Next week, I have some extremely quick and easy Christmas cards planned to show you, so I hope you come back and check again.

"Long live the snowflake"........it's my new campaign.......... whose in?

..... and just as the last of the flutterbys are dying off I have brought them back to life!!

Oct 09 kit - Joyful - by Kathy

Hello

This week I'm keeping it really simple and using just one of the templates from the October Kit to make three cards - they are all similar, but slightly different to each other - mainly because I'm utterly useless at making two things look the same - I suppose it's just a lack of discipline really lol



Anyway, along with the three Christmas cards I've made using the template this week I've also made the presentation box and tag for the card I made on here last week, so I've added that to this week's project page too.



You can see it all HERE

Following on from last week’s Autumnal coloured card, I’ve made another one using the really striking colours of the Gothic paper. I think this has to be my favourite paper in the kit.

The kit is available ~{here}~

Oct 09 kit - In the Frame card - by Kathy

 

 Hello Again

Welcome to the Thursday edition of Bubbly Scrumptious, I hope you're going to like what I've got to share this week.

Over the last few weeks I've really been having a lot of fun with the Shabby Chic style - I just love the way you can use lots of different bits and pieces  and build up lots of layers until you're happy with what you've made.  The wonderful thing about this style is that I don't think you can go wrong. If something doesn't look right either put something else on top of it, or rip it off and stick other things there to conceal the rips in the paper etc!



I adore the way textures and materials combine and also how old and new items can all find a place.  The downside is that if you make a card in this style you're going to need to make or find a box to present it in - but, then again, a boxed card is always an "event" - so if you want to make something special for someone special, this could be just the thing.

Alternatively, use the same techniques to make a wall hanging or a canvas - or maybe fill a box frame instead. 
Actually that means you can keep it for yourself so that can't be bad either!



I've used the "Enchanted" October kit to make this card, which will be heading up to Northumberland in time for my favourite Aunt's birthday later this month
I really hope she likes it and I hope you do too.

Find all the info about the kit HERE and all the photos and step by step instructions on how to make the card HERE

Havesting Nature: Fruit Recipes

Today I have not got anything crafty for you as I have lots of deadlines for university. But I do have some recipes to share with you.

 

We are so lucky to be surrounded by countryside up here in the NE of Scotland which makes great pickings for wild fruit. At the moment our hedges are brimming with sloe berries and blackberries. And after a long day studying what could be better than a walk in the quarry behind the house (still in PJ’s, I have to add) to harvest the crop.

You can find the recipes here.

They are very easy and quick to make and can be a real family affair.

Halloween Card Kit – Easy Autumn Card and Matching Notebook

This week I’m showing that although it’s called a Halloween Kit, it doesn’t have to be used solely for that purpose.

 

I have made a bright and cheerful card with a matching notebook, which was made following Kathy’s instructions from here . Both have been decorated with easy to make grungepaper flowers.

 

It’s really very quick and simple which is just what we need for birthdays as we get stuck into our Christmas crafting.

October kit - "Wishing you Joy at Christmas"- by Ruth

Good Morning Bubblies.....

When I received the stunning Enchanted Christmas kit I wanted to delve into it all at once!

So I have done just that!!

This altered canvas is the perfect opportunity to display the beautiful Prima flowers that compliment these pretty Prima Indeed papers.

Sparkling white be-jewelled snowflakes and crystal clear Prima pebbles make simple embellishments on the tiles and add lots of lovely of texture to the project......(known to us as eye candy!!)

Oct 09 kit - Sleigh Bells Ring - by Kathy

Hi there

Thursday again and it's the first of the month so you know what that means, don't you?

Yes, it's NEW KIT DAY!

 
So what has Caroline put together to tempt you all with this month? 
Well, this one is really interesting as it's not an out-and-out Christmas kit. 
No, there's much more mileage to be had here.  There are deliciously pretty Prima "Indeed" papers and all the usual card and embellishments you've come to expect, so lots of scope for birthdays, gift-making and other projects - but just to keep you thinking about Christmas you'll also find a whole LOAD of fab templates to use in your crafting, plus some Christmas embellies too. 
For a quick jump over to the shop click HERE

I promise that I will make some non-Christmas things this month, but when I saw the templates I just couldn't resist kicking off the month with this

And I've been singling that blinking song ever since!

Septembers kit - Snowman jars and a little inspiration- by Ruth

Hello and happy Friday to you.

I have been busy trying to use up my embellishments this week but the kit seems to be never ending .............. (which is a good thing!)

These cute glass jars will hold chocolates or sweets in them or I might add them to my handmade "present" list.

I have even made a card with a funky Christmas stamp that I could never really get the hang of, until these papers arrived and I found them to be a perfect match!!

.......and finally I have put together some more pages for my Xmas Daily Journal, no sweat and tears here just a go with the flow feeling and a casual look to them.

Instructions for the Snowjars can be found HERE along with a few more diary pages for you to take inspiration from.

Sept 09 kit - The Fab Four - by Kathy

Hi there

If you've already been making lots of things with the lovely September Bubbly Funk kit you've probably gathered a little pile of paper oddments, plus bits and pieces from the other goodies

This week I've been playing with the scraps and trying to come up with some Christmas card ideas which make the most of the little bits and pieces I've ended up with after other projects.

We send quite a lot of Christmas cards each year but I'm useless at bulk-making the same design - which would make producing lots of cards easy, but would bore me senseless. 
So to make things as easy as possible for myself, while retaining some of the fun of card-making  I like to make them as simple as possible without compromising on design - simple and striking is the way to go for me!

I hope you like the four cards I'm sharing this week and will agree that they're pretty easy to put together as well as being simple to adapt for using with other papers and embellishments.
You can find the cards and instructions HERE, I hope you like them

Happy Crafting

Septembers Kit - My Favourite Recipes - by Ruth

Good Morning everyone!!

Do you get to November and then start scrabbling through various recipe books hunting for the ultimate Christmas Cake, pulling out Grannys mince pie recipe hastily written on a scrap of paper and wondering where that photocopy of Delias red-cabbage went?

I know I do!!

My paper bag book lets you keep all those scraps of paper tucked into the flaps as well as giving you plenty of space to hand write your favourites onto.

Have you got children leaving home who would love to have Mums recipes? Do they phone you like I used to do to my Mum at Christmas...in the days before e-mail!!

To see how easy this book fits together and what a perfect gift it would make click HERE.

Kits are still available to purchase from Bubbly Funk HERE and when you place your order I would recommend adding the glittered chipboard sheet to it for only £4.75.

A simple case of pop and stick for those gorgeous Christmas Cards we all know you are thinking about making!!

Sept 09 kit - Bits & Pieces - by Kathy

Hi there

Thursday again and this week has been mighty hectic what with one thing or another.  So I've got a couple of rather made-at-the-last-minute Christmas Cards to share with you.  

Mind you, it's always good to have a some ideas up your sleeve that don't take too long to make, isn't it?  I did these two cards in just over an hour - and that included coming up with the plans for them too.  I reckon they are pretty adaptable so easy to use with other bits and pieces from your kit to get different "looks" - which means we should be able to make a few of each in quite a short time.

I've also managed to make the tags for my maze book so they are over on my "Bits & Pieces" page for today - click HERE to see it

Today I would like to show you how to make a mini album from household items such as clothes destined for the recycled bin. In this case I used a pair of my favourite jeans that were kindly chewed beyond repair by my teething dog.

You can find the instructions on how to make the album here.

This album is going to be my future goals album starting with getting fit and loosing weight.

3D House Tutorial

This week, I am tying in with the Monthly Competition on ~{Bubbly Scrumptious Challenge Blog}~ which is 'House' and showing you how I made my DT house.

 

It’s actually surprisingly simple and it’d be great if a few of you create one (or two as they look fab together) for yourselves and enter the challenge. There is, of course, a prize for the monthly challenge.

 

Click ~{here}~ to see how I made it.

 

However, I won’t be decorating the inside like my niece did, which you can see on my blog ~{here}~ if you haven’t already. Excuse the proud auntie!

See you next week
