GDT Rocking it for Top Tip Tuesday...

Hello there,

I was recently asked by Top Tip Tuesday Challenge to be a guest designer and I of course said yes :D It's a fabulous challenge and as the name suggests the Design Team come up each week with some fantastic Top Tips on tons of different crafty things...new design ideas, how to's and quick tips, so if you haven't found them yet just click on their name above and hop on over to join.

Anyway, the sponsor this time is Kenny K Stamps and as I need to make way more male cards (I never seem to do them) I chose to work with this gorgeous little rocker - Anima Rocker
The theme is a Bingo board and I have used the centre vertical line, Embossing, Sentiment, Die Cut (a Tip, when die cutting large word die's, its worth a quick pass to emboss so the edges look totally finished and awesome)

For colours used see list of below

Inside I once again used off cuts to match it in x

Here's what I used to make this one:
Image: Anima Rocker by Kenny K
Die set: My Favourite Things Dienamics Blueprints #11
Colouring and card base: Neenah Solar White marker paper, Matt Black 300gsm cardstock and Spectrum Noir markers by Crafter's Companion
Skin: FS2, 4, 9, TN3, CR3
Hair: BGR2, 3, 5, HB1, 3
Clothes: IG2, 4, 5, 6, 10, TBI, 2, 3, 6, DR7, 4, CR11
Shading: BG7, 5

Top Tip: When creating a shadow to enhance the dimension of your image, don't colour all the way around it! Remember where your light source was coming from and then add shadow only where you think it would be the deepest. You can 'map' this in the lightest possible shade first if you are a little nervous as it won't show later :D You can see where I have added my BR7 and 5 to on the pics :D

Here's a couple more pics:

Thank you for popping by as always, and do hop over to this weeks challenge at Top Tip Tuesday

New Release is out YAY...meet Bubbles!

Hello again :D

It's brand new release time! I loooove new releases...

That Craft Place has a new range of digi stamps in the Etsy shop - Bubbles! So with several new characters to choose from I decided to make a set of note cards and a wallet to keep them in so I could showcase a few of them together (couldn't decide if I only had one, they are all just lush). I have to thank the totally awesome Ginny from her own blog, RubberMAD for making me think of note cards...she showcased a set of 6 a few weeks back (although her colouring is way way better) and that gave me the idea to try something similar :D

So here it is...

There are 2 note cards each side, the other two are underneath...see the pics further down...

Here's the important stuff:
The brand new images can be found here in the That Craft Place Etsy Shop
Don't forget to share your That Craft Place makes in the That Craft Place Natter and Chatter FB group

Crafty materials can be found at That Craft Place Facebook Group or their bricks and mortar shop
The backing paper is printed on textured card and the pattern was made in Craft Artist 2 pro and the rest is Graphic 45 Precious Moments
I also used red card, kraft card, purple, orange and blue card, Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic glue, bakers twine, paper clips, black card and twine
The dies used for all of the die cuts is: MFT Dienamics Blueprints 11

Here's some more pics:
