Alpini Goes Polar bear

craftybit

Hi Guys!

Today I have a special video for you, I show you how I colour Alpini in a no-line colouring style and turn her into a polar bear, and then put a card together with her. I had so much fun creating this girl, researching how a polar bear looks like and then sketching her darling face. And if you want to get more information of how I’ve done it you can come back tomorrow when I put up the real-time colouring video of this which is voiced-overed.

When creating the card I wanted something very clean and simple, a little scene, but as she is coloured so soft I needed the background to be soft to so it doesn’t overpower the creation. This is the last Christmas Card for the season, but don’t worry I will be back on Monday with a new card that is winter inspired.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Candles With Glitter – Colouring With Stickles Glitter Glue

craftybit

Hi Guys!

Todays card is a quick and simple one with loads of glitter. The simplicity and scale of the candles just made them perfect for being bedazzled. I love how you can add the little detail stamps from the stamp-set to the candles to give them your own uniqueness.

Christmas Fairy – Clean & Simple Card Tutorial

craftybit

Hi Guys!

So sorry for disappearing on you like that, life just got a little to much for me and I needed a break to rethink and rest. Well I’m back and do I got videos for you!
We’ll start off with a cute Christmas fairy! This is Fairy Twinkles, she’s by Make It Crafty and she is just completely adorable! I’ve done creations with her before, but I thought coming back I would start with some comfort colouring. The card is as clean and simple as you can get, just a card base, the character and a sentiment. I love these sentiments by My Favourite Things as they are big and bold but still small enough to leave room for a focal image.
As usual you can find the supplies and copic used down below and also the card making video. If you want to see the real-time colouring with voice-over just come back tomorrow, or if you don’t want to miss any of my posts, subscribe to my “newsletter” and get every blogpost to your email (you find it in the top right corner of the blog). Happy crafting and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Christmas Night

craftybit

Hi!

All you card makers out there knows that Christmas is coming in a lightning speed, so it’s time to start with those Christmas cards so that you might get some sent out this year. So here is my first Christmas card of the season. Today I’m Guest Designing for Gerda Steiner Designs, I’ve been meaning to get some stamps from her for awhile as I’ve looked at Tara’s videos with them and the stamps are adorable! So when Gerda contacted me and asked if I wanted to play with her stamps I was over the moon. Btw how do you like my moon on the card? I personally just love how it came out.

For todays card I’ve played with Up On The Housetop, I wanted to make a very wintery card, and started with the background. For the background I used distress inks and and a mask and blended a background with blending tools. It turned out very soft so instead of going to my copics I decided to use my Polychromos to colour the images in. For more details on how you can see the video below.

Polychromos:
Skin: Ivory, Light Flesh, Cinnamon, Walnut, Dark Flesh
Hat & Gloves: Deep Red, Permanent Carmine, Dark Red, Walnut
Beard, trimmings and snow: White, Warm Grey I, II, III
Chimney: Walnut, Venetian Red, Terracotta, Burnt Ochre, Sanguine, Nougat

Glowing Seaside – Chibi Lights

craftybit

Hi Guys!

Do you have those days when you just seem to forget everything? Well that has been my week, I actually posted two videos this week, neither I blogged and only one went live on my channel. And none of them got blog posts, because I forgot. But here is the first one.

I finally got to play with my chibi lights! I’ve had these real cool electronic lights for card making by Chibitronics for sometime now, I just never had time to use them! Then Christine released this awesome stamps set called Glowing Seaside. It has a real cute angler fish (angler fishes are not really cute, but this is) which has a glowing little ball and then I decided that the jellyfish needed to glow too.
