Mini Wallet with Times Gone By & Xyron

Hello again,

As a part of the Crafter's Companion Die'sire design team I am so lucky to get to play with some awesome new products and some old ones too like the 5 " Xyron Creative Station.  I'm sure many of you have got one and love them, but I have never tried so I was dancing when I was offered the chance to make some samples using one...make way for another piece of crafty kit (you all know how exciting that is for us crafters lol)

Crafter's Companion stock both the 5" and the 9" Creative Stations as well as the little one so you have plenty of options to tailor your purchase to your type of crafting

Away from my DT duties I just love to make mini albums and design my own mini wallets, gift card holders and the Xyron seemed the perfect fit for this type of project

Here's what I came up with:

I can't tell you how easy it was to put this together using the Xyron!  I cut all my pieces for the design, ran them all through the Xyron and then had them all on the carrier sheet waiting for me to place them and build the design up, layer by layer.  It was such a pleasure to do and no glue on my fingers! woohoo!

Here's what I used to make it before I end with the rest of the pics.....

Christmas Landscape Tutorial with Spectrum Aqua

Hello there,

Today I'd love to share with you my first Tutorial as a part of the Spectrum Noir Educational Design Team :D

Using Specrum Aqua markers by Crafter's Companion are so simple to use that they can make bulk making Christmas cards so much easier.

My tutorial will show you how, with just 2 markers, you can use the Spectrum Aqua's to create a snowy landscape and insert.

So, grab a cuppa and settle down to watch how I created this Snowy Landscape with the following materials:

Specrum Aqua Markers from Primary Set – Navy & Aquamarine

Crafter’s Companion 300gsm Watercolour card

Crafter’s Companion Mat Black Card

Red liner tape, Collal All Purpose glue & Tacky glue

Die’sire Christmas Classique die’s: Frosty The Snowman and

Festive Foliage
