Autumn Witch by Twistoon Stamps

Well I did it - I tried to make a video tutorial of my colouring of this image called Autumn Witch - but it's so much harder than it looks! I have uploaded the finished result in case you wish to check it out ;) 

Please note that at the end of the video I didn't like the right hand side of her hair above the leaf - so I darkened the shadows there with C10.

George's Walnut Car by Twistoon

Isn't this little guy the cutest??? The image is called "George's Walnut Car" and he's another is the amazing range of gnome images from Twistoon Digi Stamps. If you're a gnome lover and haven't checked them out yet you really should. There is one for almost any occasion, or even for just a bit of fun!

I thought he would be perfect for a belated birthday card and I hope you agree. I created the sentiment on my computer to fit.

Teacher Chibis from Twistoon

Working at a school meant these gorgeous teacher images from Twistoon Digi Stamps were must haves for me, especially the male teacher as you don't find those as often. I paired them with a couple of teacher "classics" - a chalkboard sentiment and an apple ;)

Click on the links to find them instore - male or female

Until next time....

Nose in Book from Twistoon

I coloured this cutie up a while ago and decided it was time she made it onto a card. This is "Nose in Book" and you can also get a boy version if you prefer. 

I created the red scrunched flowers to tie in with her glasses and laces.

I think it's time to do a bit of reading myself now....

Until Next Time

Happy Crafting 

Christmas Crackers

I promise this is my last Christmas in July card.....for now ;)

I couldn't resist playing with these cuties from Twistoon Digi Stamps - and they come in a set of 4! It was supposed to only be 3 images but one of the boys lost his beard in the "cracked" image set so now you can choose if you want him beardless or not. You can find the Stan and George Cracker set HERE

I created a slimline card and added a little explosion to the background - those boys do love to do things to the extreme ;)

Until Next Time

Happy Colouring

Christmas in July with Twistoon Digi Stamps

 It's always a bit of fun to create card for Christmas in July for me given Christmas is my favourite time of the year! Here are a couple I did using images from Twistoon Stamps.

This first one uses one of Lisa's adorable Gnomes - this is "George Christmas Tree" and you can find him HERE. The word dies I used are from La-La Land Crafts.

This fun lovin' gal is called "Wreath Head" and you can find her HERE. I wish you could see how sparkly this is IRL with her glittered stockings and trees, and the sparkly baubles. 

Let's hope we can all feel a little festive and sparkly this July.

George's Coffee from Twistoon Stamps

What can I say - I love Lisa's (Twistoon) gnomes and I love a good cup of coffee - not sure if I would quite go to the same extent as George though - but there have been days........

This is George Coffee Ploof Gnome and I have had him sitting on my desk to colour up for ages so today was the day! I decided to make a tag, then the tag became the centerpiece for a card - LOL. I love creating on the go - I never know WHAT I'll end up with!

Until Next Time - Happy Crafting

Peek-a-Boo Lulu from Twistoon Stamps

This is Peek-a-Boo Lulu from Twistoon Stamps. I've had her printed off for a while now so it was time to colour her up and pop her on a card. I do love Lisa's quirky images and I often think seeing them just as black and white line drawings don't do them any justice! You can find her instore HERE.

Arthur Sneeze from Twistoon

Recently I made a digi suggestion over at Twistoon Stamps and within a few days Lisa had come up with this cutie for me. My recent bout with a nasty cold and Covid was the reason for my suggestion - after all you've got to get something positive out of it ;) This is Arthur Sneeze and you can find him HERE. He makes a great Get Well card.

I layered him over a couple of digi papers and added some snow drifts - after all we in the Southern Hemisphere are heading into the cooler months. 

I do have a plan for this little guy on something 3D - just have to work out the logistics as I'm not sure Copic colouring will work. Watch this space......

Maggie Stop Sign from Twistoon

I loved using Maggie Stop Sign as she would work with so many different sentiments - she'd also be good trying to keep George from speeding around in his walnut car

I added the "Wait ...What?" sentiment to the sign and figured this would be a great for a "you're HOW old?" card, or a belated birthday card, or all sorts of other options. I hope you like it.

Another 2020 Blog Catch-Up Post - Twistoon Stamps

This is my last catch up post dedicated to just one artist, my next one will have cards from a couple of different artists and then I think I'm all caught up and ready to start showcasing some new cards 😀

The name of this artist may look unfamiliar while the images may seem very familiar. Twistoon Stamps used to be called Bloobel Stamps, but after Lisa shut down her store the name Bloobel wasn't available when she decided she missed us crafters so much she'd re-open, so she's now been re-badged as Twistoon Stamps. She also has a cool app called Mixtoon Monsters  where you can design your own monsters, and a great Youtube channel where she showcases colouring techniques.

This card is a birthday card for one of my work colleagues. The logo is our school logo and the "training" is on the software we use and of course we've been working from home for most of the past few months, and she has cats - so I figured it all worked out. There is a "dog version" or a pet free version of this image too.

I CASE'd this design from the gorgeous card made by Annabel Haines, it was the perfect choice for a bee loving friend I haven't been able to see due to Covid-19 lockdown - the bees in the jar is reminiscent of the barrier between us at the moment.
