Melonizing with Krumspring Stamps - VIDEO

Hi Everybody! Did you get lots of snow during the week? We've had a few hours, but thankfully it has all gone. I have two disappointed small children, but I'm not!

I've a video for you today sharing my Melon card. If you don't know what melonizing is, it's a brilliant challenge that my friend Dani started over on Instagram. All you have to do is colour something like a melon. Simple and yet really addictive!


I started by stamping the background stamp using my Precision Press. I love this stamp. It's from a new company called Krumspring Stamps based in Denmark and set up by Maria who loves to draw and colour in triangles. It is hugely therapeutic!

It reminds me of a stained glass window and I marked out and coloured in two watermelons with my Copic markers. I then added some details in with my Copic Multiliner for the seeds.


To finish, I trimmed the panel then mounted it onto a green card base. I trimmed an A2 card base down to fit. I added the sentiment in Ranger Dye Inks with a little Avery Elle alphabet set and die cut with a new tiny speech bubble set that a friend sent me for my birthday. Some sequins finished it off nicely.

GOLD..... Mixed Media Challenge #30

Happy Monday Everyone! Two blog posts in two days, you ask? Well I was visiting Maria's blog and I saw her oh so amazing card and I just had to stop everything and make a card in GOLD (bet you I know what you're singing now.....).



My lovely friend Steph gave me the Gansai Tambi Starry Watercolours for my birthday and I could not wait to have a play with them. They are every bit as delicious as I hoped they would be and come in six nice shades of gold.

I started by stamping one of my other birthday presents, some Krumspring Stamps (new to the market, and brilliantly quirky), onto a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versamark ink and heat embossing it with my WOW! Gold Embossing Glitter. I then painted in all the triangles in different golds - so relaxing, colouring in triangles.



Once it was dry, I cut it out close to the edge and mounted it onto an apple green A2 (US) cardbase and trimmed the edge to fit. I thought the little extra piece would be good across the card and amazingly the sentiment fitted perfectly on it - I just stamped it a little squint ;)

I finished by die cutting some little trees in some sparkly gold card I had in my scrap box (they were free in my MFT haul - see my unpackaging video!) and mounted them on top with some foam tape.


It is so gold and sparkly - I wish you could see it shine in real life.
