Gone to the Beach - Docrafts

 Here is an amazing card by Nicky Hayden, using papers and stamps from the 

Docrafts collection Ahoy There!

12 x 12 designer papers - Ahoy There!

Clear stamps - Ahoy There!

Nicky has used lots of elements for this stunning card.....using a selection of papers from the paper pack which have been layered onto the card, coordinating with the colouring in of the stamps.  I love the cute bunting that Nicky has coloured using her Promarkers.

She has used the same Beach Hut stamp (from the stamp set above), but coloured each one in differently to give them an individual look.

Nicky, has used the Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder-D'vine Swirl
 by Provocraft to replicate the sea, and she has given it a blue wash using her Promarkers.

I love the beach sign, Gone To The Beach included in the stamp set.

Nicky has cut out shells from one of the papers and adhered them to the card using Stix2 craft foam pads.

Extra dimension has been added to the card layering patterned paper together with craft foam pads to create the beach.......she is so clever!

To finish the card, Nicky has stamped the Life Belt images and coloured them in.

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside - canvas

Here is a wonderful canvas designed by Nicky Hayden.  Now we all know Nicky for her stamping and colouring in, but she has recently begun to play with Jo Sonja's paints!!!!  It must be too tempting working in the shop, looking at the rows of paints within arms length every day...eh Nicky?

Come and see our wide range of Jo Sonja's paints and mediums.

Nicky has applied a selection of Jo Sonja's paints for the sky and sand onto the canvas.

She has stamped onto the designer papers from the recently released Docrafts collection 

called Ahoy There!

Clear stamps - Ahoy There!

12 x 12 designer papers - Ahoy There!

To add extra dimension to the project Nicky has adhered buttons and seed beads with some stamped sea shells.

I love the shell buttons.

 

I can almost smell and hear the sea.  Now everyone join in after 1,2,3......

Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside
I do like to be beside the sea!
I do like to stroll upon the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play: "Tiddely-om-pom-pom!"

Best Wishes - Owl card and Bakers Twine

Nicky Hayden, our cardmaking workshop demonstrator has made this adorable card.  Don't you just love how she has used bakers twine and buttons to make a great feature of the owl's eyes.

She has used papers from the Suga Pop Paper Collection by Kaisercraft.

The Docrafts 4"x 4" Urban Rubber Stamp is, called Owl,

and is proving very popular in the shop!

A little birdie told me - Docrafts Urban Stamps - Bird

Nicky Hayden has designed this lovely card using double sided papers from the 

Kaisercraft Suga Pop collection available in the shop.

Kaisercraft - Suga Pop collection

She has also used this wonderful 4" x 4"  Docrafts Urban Rubber Stamp called Bird 

which is selling out fast!

Nicky has stamped the bird onto various pieces of patterned paper, 

cut them out and layered them onto her card.  

This technique is known as paper piecing and is a good way to use up your scraps of papers.

She has added a border of coordinating paper to the front and inside of the card.  A little faux stitching and hand written sentiment using a fineliner pen, 

completes the delightful design of this card.

Nicky has used this stunning, Docrafts Urban rubber stamp together with some paper piecing from

I adore the way Nicky has used some of my favourite pink Baker's Twine around the eyes.

The twine and buttons gives the card added dimension......love it.
