<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For anyone that may not of noticed, my blog is now inactive. This is because my new blog is now fully operational over at <a href="http://www.samanthakgifts.co.uk/blog/" target="_blank">www.samanthakgifts.co.uk</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It doesn't quite have the same bits on it at the moment (purely due to lack of time), but you can be sure, that when I do my next lots of tutorials or 'playing' it will be posted over there :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thank you all for following my escapades and I hope you will join me on my new site.</span><br />

I wanted to share a recent make with you, It is a house shaped wooden shelf system and it was painted grey with clouds, as a request to match some wallpaper a customer had.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I snapped a few photos of the process to share.<br />

<ol style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<li> Take your wooden house shape shelf and paint it the base colour you want. I didn't primer this (paint with a coat of gesso or similar) I just used a couple of coats of the colour i wanted it. I didn't have a grey paint and was worried that if I mixed my own and needed more for any reason, I wouldn't be able to get the right shade again, so I popped to my local DIY store and got a couple of tester pots in the colour that closet matched the sample paper I had been sent.</li>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Happy Friday everyone :)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Before you get to wondering too much, i didn't need scaffolding for this job! hehe....</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Although I'm sure painting the real Millennium Falcon would be fun, this is a mini Falcon, that is made from air dry paper clay and was for use on my hubby's Valentines card.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I love paper clay, but don't use it as much as I should! Its so light weight that its perfect for adding things like this to cards and projects, without adding any weight, which means two things, my card doesn't topple over all the time and it doesn't add anything to the ever rising postage costs if I was sending it!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I just wanted to share with you how simple it is to get that old, rough, distressed kind of look (this can work on other items too, not just paper clay).</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
First make your object, in this case the Millennium Falcon and let it fully dry, normally over a night or two.<br />
<br /></div>

My new tool has arrived and I'm in love... I can make perfectly sealed pockets/bags and seal things away safely. As you'd guess i was sealing up everything lol.<br />I even had a go at sealing up irregular shapes and still loved the finish :)</div>

This was a recent customers order. My brief was bright, colourful, very special, she likes bike rides on the Tarka Trail, knitting and line dancing. What do you think?</div>

I snapped some photos as I was making it, so that I could share the process with you all, so if you wanted to make your own you could give it a go :)</div>

The first thing I did was get all my materials together (ingredients list at the bottom). I then cut out all of my shapes and layers. I use a mixture of hand cutting and my Silhouette cameo to do the cutting.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
The panels for your side flaps.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
I then crease all of the sections on their perforated lines</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
And then stick all edges together with a strong glue.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
For thinner elements, where there isn't alot of card either side of the perforated strip, I use a metal ruler against the perforated line, to crease against. This is because you may end up twisting or tearing the smaller pieces otherwise.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">

I then build up my cake tiers, starting with the top (smallest tier) you work your way down. You need to start at the top, or the flaps you need to secure will not be accessible as you work your way through. In this case I was also adding a pop up '80' onto the top tier so this was the first thing i had to do.</div>

The vintage style Butterfly wrap was made by myself and Lill<span class="text_exposed_show">y (our 3 year old) to make it extra special :)</span>It was old inner packing material, the type that protects items in their boxes. We stamped the wrap with 2 different sized butterflies from the gorgeous Stampendous Jumbo Butterfly Trio stamp Set and covered the paper in cello wrap. The ink used was an archival ink.</div>

It didn't matter that the paper was a bit wrinkled or that Lilly couldn't quite get the hang of 'keep the stamp still' lol, because it just added to the vintage feel.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love Halloween even though its not as widely celebrated here in the UK as it is in the USA, so I wanted to share a recent make that had me getting in the spirit of Halloween :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made these <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/242776787/personalised-halloween-large-treat?ref=shop_home_active_7" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">cute baubles</span></b></a> in 3 different designs and they are filled with treats (or you could use small toys etc) and a spookily funny joke.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used a clear bauble that separates in half, some vinyl for the designs on the baubles outer casing and some old bright orange cord which i think really finishes them off.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So today I'm sharing another order. This time it is based on a TV show sample I created last year (you can find my post on it <a href="http://littlepeartree.blogspot.com/2014/09/polkadoodles-christmas-challenge.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">HERE</span></b></a>). I have instead of having generic words on at the bottom, added names so that the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/245375612/advent-card-christmas-card-fully-opening?ref=listing-shop-header-1" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">cards</span></b></a> become fully personalised.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Today I would like to share a beautiful frame I made using the gorgeous rubber stamp </span><a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19_86&products_id=3600" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Sierra</span></b></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used my masking fluid to mask her off once she was stamped and then added the stamped flowers to the left. Which I also then masked off.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The background was created with a wash of brusho colour. I was trying to give a beautiful dusky evening feel, the water was done in the same way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She is such a beautiful image that I wanted to put her in a beautiful elegant frame, but it just felt like it needed a bit more! So I decided to add some flowers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn't have any larger flowers that fitted the scene, so I made my own!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">OK so a huge apology that there has been some wait since the date that I should of announced the winner for my last giveaway, but sadly we have had some emergencies with our just turned 3 year old and that put everything on a back seat. We have still have hospital appointments etc, but things are hopefully a bit calmer that things can now start to be caught up with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So without further ado, the winner of my last giveaway for a set of these beauties</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>I also need to apologise that my colouring isn't quite upto scratch at the moment! Like I say time and time again, what makes you improve is practise, but that also goes the same as, what keeps you colouring nicely is doing it regularly, if you don't, you still understand the principles and so will be better than when you first picked up a colouring instrument, but you're also rusty hehe and your hands and arms won't relax as they should when colouring or you'll end up with very achy arms as your not used to it lol...Ad that's where I am at the moment, with so much going on and a few unwanted events, I kind of lost my colouring mojo and haven't coloured properly in a while. So bear with me while i get my colouring skates back on and try and get back into what I really love :)</i></span><br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Following on from my last Letraset post (which you can find <a href="http://littlepeartree.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/finally-popping-back-inpromarker.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">HERE</span></b></a>) where I demonstrated how to colour simple folds, using the guidelines already provided by the artist, this time I have shown how to colour slightly more advanced folds, when only a small guideline is provided by the artist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have used Sierra from the ArtbyMiran Whimsy rubber stamp collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Promarker colours used are listed at the bottom of the tutorial.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you can see from the first photo, there are a few lines showing where some folds/creases may occur, but no actual artist shading. This gives us a starting point.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If we were to just add our darkest colours into the creases themselves, that would give us some feeling of depth, but not actually the true feeling of how material would fold/move.</span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ho2evxrXfaI/VYQHh7SIA-I/AAAAAAAAF9E/JSuQfqrFJ5M/s1600/step%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ho2evxrXfaI/VYQHh7SIA-I/AAAAAAAAF9E/JSuQfqrFJ5M/s320/step%2B3.jpg" width="242" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Step 3</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The trick is to also add some of your darker shade UNDER/AROUND your crease or fold, but not directly on the crease line. This will help give the feeling that the material is dipped in (dark in crease) and then falling naturally as the light (not coloured area between the crease and dark colour under it) is hitting the material and then gently falls in again to create another shadow area (the dark tone under, but not directly, on the crease)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And all I am doing with each layer is the same way as I normally would colour, adding the next lightest shade of colour directly over and slightly extending it, to soften and move the colour first laid down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finishing with the lightest shade all over to soften and blend everything, don't worry that it doesn't look that defined yet, as this is just your base layer, and we will repeat the layering process to define it further.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wow, i feel like my blog is so neglected at the moment and i've been very bad and haven't been around to visit any others recently either :( I'm missing all that lovely inspiration and gorgeousness and am hoping to correct that very soon by coming by to say hi :) Oooo that rhymes...hehe....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But things are very busy here, I'm busy beavering away trying to get in stock and make some pieces, ready for hitting the craft/event markets at full force, I mean if i want to do this and earn at least enough to help contribute to the bills and not have to go back to a company that's made me really unwell over the years, then i need to put my all in right? (Thankfully my husband earns enough to pay the majority as I'm not sure how much I will actually be able to make lol!) But we have certainly had to tighten our belts since I've been off from work ill and it would be nice to start bringing in enough to at least ease the pressure a little.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well that's my update, how are you all? <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SamanthaKGifts" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>My Etsy store</b></span></a> has now started having some craft supplies added to it, knowing how expensive everything is in this addictive hobby of ours, I'm trying to get materials in the cheapest prices possible for crafters :) More things are being added as regular as possible, watch out for Woodware and Ranger products being added soon too. If there's something in the crafty world you find you use regularly or want to treat yourself too but find its too expensive, let me know and I'll see if i can source it at a lower price for you :)</span></div>
