Studio Light Industrial Range Samples by DT Lynda

Good afternoon folks. Well, actually there's nothing much good about it as it's pouring with rain outside. I should be walking my dogs but they look less than enthusiastic and so I thought I would pop by and share a quick post here instead with some of my samples for the next Luv Crafts shows on Hochanda. Jo will be back on screen on this Friday , the 9th November at 10am and 3pm with the brilliant Industrial range of stamps and dies from Studio Light. They are just fabulous for cards and projects for those tricky men in our lives.  She's also bringing some beautiful botanical stamps and dies. I'll pop back tomorrow with my samples for those. 

My first card is one for those that love motorbikes. I created the background paper myself with inks, and stamps from the range.  The bike itself was stamped and heat embossed and coloured with Studio Light markers.  To finish I added a sentiment, and some of the die cuts in silver before mat and layering. Really quick to do and very effective. 

My next project is a notebook. I just adore the light bulb dies. I painted the cover with Shimmer Magic, and stamped with Metallic Magic. The words were stamped and heat embossed on card and adhered over the top.  A unique book for those crafty barin waves we all have now and again!

My third project for today uses the hexagonal cog die set and Rusty Magic. If you love that vintage rusty texture then you really need this in your stash. It's so easy to use, dries mega fast and is all round awesome! Again I used the numbers background stamp on my card, with the train stamp coloured and fussy cut. To finish it off I cut the pile of suitcases stamp and added a Tim Holtz paper doll. 

That's all from me for now as the rain has stopped and the hounds are starting to look eager for a walk so I guess that's my cue to go. 

Don't forget to watch the shows if you can. If not then you could always record or get them on catch up afterwards via the Hochanda website.  You are also welcome to join our Facebook page Luv Crafts Crafting and Mixed Media Group and share your creations with us. We love to see what you have been making. 

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Christmas MDF

Did you all manage to catch the recent Luv Crafts show on Hochanda featuring the beautiful festive MDF and awesome chalk paints? I enjoyed working with these so much and thought I'd pop by and share my samples.

Firstly here's is my take on the Festive Sleigh. I think this is my favourite sample from this time around. To decorate it I painted the sleigh body with Luv Crafts Viva Decor Chalk Paints and the runners with Shimmer Magic paint. Once dry I added more texture with a crackle stamp and Archival ink. I inked two reindeer from the Festive Embellishments set and created a poinsettia flower with stamping and embossing. Once the sleigh was dry I added the embellishments, along with some sisal for texture, and finished off with Festive Magic to add a snow effect.  

I really like these sleighs. They are a great size to add a small gift in, or some nice pot pourri maybe, or even just left as a stand alone decoration. 

I also used the chalk paints on my tree. This time I chose grey and white for a classy muted effect. 

Once the trees were painted, distressed and dry I used the same grey I used as a base layer to stencil a holly pattern on.  On the smaller trees I stamped a script across. I then added a layer of Structure paste and the Festive magic over the base. To finish I decorated a Studio Light bauble with a beautiful shrink wrap ( I love these so much. I think my own tree may be covered in them this year!).

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my projects. Don't forget you can join the Luv Crafts Crafting and Mixed Media Facebook group where you can share your own mixed media projects and see what all my DT mates have also been making. 

Have a great week
