I am no longer a Stampin' Up demonstrator. Much as I love all of the Stampin' Up products I found it very difficult to create a customer base in my area of Norfolk (UK) so I gave it up. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What I aim to do in the next few weeks is show you what I am working on at home at the moment. My focus is more on mixed media now and trying different mediums,inks and paints to create lots of layers on each project. I am also going to be uploading some more you tube videos ( I had only made 2! check out cluxycrafts on you tube). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I have been making junk journals, art journals and also using my gelli arts plates.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I hope you come back and see me,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Much Love,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Claire xx</span></p>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-46145538087328136602017-03-03T20:00:00.000+00:002017-03-03T20:00:02.265+00:00Global stamping Friends bloghop.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am loving playing with the So Succulent suite at the moment! It's on page 20-21 of the occasions catalogue. I have made a few boxes and covered them with the So Succulent DSP. I have also been playing with the stamps and dies, cutting shapes out ready for card projects I have in mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Whilst playing with the 6 dies that make up the succulents (there are 17 dies altogether, fab value!) I came up with this flower!</span><br />

This video came about as I have had a lot of lovely comments from people, about the carousel box I made as one of my samples for Stampin' Up! onstage in November 2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope you like the video! please comment and subsribe to my you tube channel! It's a bit 'rough around the edges' but I will definitely be making more as it was so fun!!</span><br />

(on Christmas Eve). I have finished all the cards and we delivered the last few to the neighbours this morning. I love Christmas, it's such a cosy family time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I also made this card using the 'Stampamajig' This is a brilliant tool that enables you to position stamped images exactly where you want them (as seen here for lining up the Christmas trees).</span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-74307688115904992362016-11-25T16:21:00.003+00:002016-11-25T16:21:35.936+00:00New toys to play with and Christmas projects to finish.<span style="font-size: large;">I have had a Stampin'Up! delivery!!

<span style="font-size: large;">I ordered the Candy Cane Lane paper in this order, I already have the cookie cutter stamp set and punch bundle from the christmas catalogue and it's fab! I have made a lot of projects with this set (pictures to follow) to sell in the tea shop where I have other things on sale. The ladies there were keen to get Christmas stock in too, so I have concentrated on that this week (in between my 'day job' at the preschool!). I am going to use this paper to decorate some Crumb Cake boxes that I've made and I want to have a go at the paper wreathes that I've seen on facebook and pinterest recently.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have also treated myself to the Stampin'Up! Envelope punch board! I'm excited to have a go with this, it means I can make cards that are not standard sizes and still make an envelope to match! Also, I have seen lots of exciting things that you can make with this punch board including little Christmas crackers and other types of boxes. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> As Stampin' Up! onstage is only a few weeks away (5th November 2016) and I will be there(!!) I have been working on my 'swaps' for the day. As this will be my first 'onstage' I am only making 40. I have decided on a small 3d project using stamp sets from the Stampin'Up! Autumn/Winter catalogue. This slim box is designed to hold a teabag, here I have used ginger (a bit Christmassy!) The stamp sets are 'Cookie Cutter Christmas' and 'Stitched with Cheer'.</span><br />

My daughter is enjoying high school and I am back at work (in the pre-school) with lots of new happy faces and characters to get to know.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To start the Autumn off I have created a card with the 'Sunshine sayings' stamp set and the 'Sunshine wishes' thinlits.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a simple card using only 'crumb cake' and 'very vanilla' cardstock with a little 'crumb cake' ink.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt88DAOTtQDrgVN43qDZet5FDODaVpihEPcZv5nV0M7PUie5lxfQvOfz0bIqO0Bv5ITJxiCgHG5tn9CV6oqRt76qaZ5MuLKz0Zmr-Dd9kjHuQijv_N-nIyW-zWrMUkmIL5ZcMJ20B0EG3E/s1600/DSC_0310.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt88DAOTtQDrgVN43qDZet5FDODaVpihEPcZv5nV0M7PUie5lxfQvOfz0bIqO0Bv5ITJxiCgHG5tn9CV6oqRt76qaZ5MuLKz0Zmr-Dd9kjHuQijv_N-nIyW-zWrMUkmIL5ZcMJ20B0EG3E/s640/DSC_0310.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the clean look of this card, its quite different from the cards I normally create. The card base is half a sheet of A4 'crumb cake' scored in half. I then used a mat layer a few millimetres smaller, still in 'crumb cake' to add some depth to the card. I die cut the heart die and the 'love' word die in 'very vanilla' . I adhered the love die cut and the centre part of the heart die cut to the card using 'tombow' multipurpose glue. The more delicate part of the heart die was adhered with 'stampin dimensionals' to raise it from the card and add dimension. I stamped the 'you' onto 'very vanilla' cardstock in 'crumb cake' ink and cut it out by hand. I stuck this to the card with dimensionals also. I hope you like it.</span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-61699689877398352312016-08-18T11:00:00.000+01:002016-08-20T18:24:49.847+01:00Sunshine sayings and sunshine wishes.<span style="font-size: large;">Woohoo!! I have something new to play with! These stamps are fab! there are so many different ways to use the sentiments and the die cuts are a bit 'scribbly' in style which I really like.</span><br />

I've managed to spend time in my craft room though,making myself some business cards. One of my up lines had this idea. Basically you use all the tiny scraps of cardstock and DSP which everyone has laying around and using the Stampin Up! angel policy stamps (which are in the current catalogue, although I am using last years!)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> To make your cards and either print, or do as I have done and print off lots of sticky labels with all your details on and stick them to the back of your little cards. It's win, win! you get lovely personalised business cards to hand out to everyone you see, and you use up a lot of your scraps too! please leave a comment if you have ideas for using up scraps.</span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-34903666930160751382016-08-11T11:00:00.000+01:002016-08-11T18:51:32.129+01:00Swirly bird die cuts <span style="font-size: large;">I was going to apologise for using the Swirly bird stamp and die set, again but then I thought NO!

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a variation on a card I made previously but with different sentiments and a slightly different layout, hope you like! </span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-19373095295454346502016-08-09T13:31:00.000+01:002016-08-09T13:31:04.343+01:00Swirly bird sailing boats.<span style="font-size: large;">As I live so close to the 'Norfolk Broads' I was inspired to create some sailing boat cards! I have used the 'swirly bird' stamp set again (what else!).For these cute cards I stamped the sailing boats out onto whisper white cardstock using various ink colours (basically whatever took my fancy!) and then I cut them out. I used watercolour card for the background and watered down some Marina mist ink. I 'washed' the watered down ink in a splat kind of arrangement (!!) and left these to dry. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawGQT8HemMfJldAG33TIieNmR2qMAXi_UjXjIBOk-ZInECwMMKqd5Sp6EUPrA9qT66n4SgXJ79VVqUvvkpPAfUQDyHoInHuPKP3yIKu19Xzz4CePk-uEEWGyX13AU-xRknoYUBnV9dJiH/s1600/DSC_0266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawGQT8HemMfJldAG33TIieNmR2qMAXi_UjXjIBOk-ZInECwMMKqd5Sp6EUPrA9qT66n4SgXJ79VVqUvvkpPAfUQDyHoInHuPKP3yIKu19Xzz4CePk-uEEWGyX13AU-xRknoYUBnV9dJiH/s640/DSC_0266.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Slightly off topic, whilst working with the marina mist ink pad I accidentally leant my elbow into it and four days and four showers later I still have a rather attractive marina mist coloured elbow! (Note to self : more moisturiser on my elbows!) Sorry about random sharing but this did make me laugh to myself. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, back to the cards. Once the backgrounds were dry I used the splatter stamp from the swirly bird and stamped in Mint macaron and stamped on the edge of the marina mist inking, to look like water splashes, I think this helped to created some movement to the boats. The sentiments I used were from 'one big Meaning' and 'Sunshine sayings' These were stamped onto whisper white in a coordinating ink colour and cut into a pennant on each end (to look like a flag?) I have stuck the boats to the cards using stampin dimensionals to add depth. I am really pleased with how these turned out. I hope you like them. </span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-42128895001331981852016-08-01T14:55:00.000+01:002016-08-01T14:55:21.207+01:00Thoughtful branches<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! just a reminder that the limited edition stamp and die bundle 'Thoughtful Branches' is available for you to order from Stampin' Up! (through me if you would like) from tomorrow 2nd August 2016. Its a fab kit with lots of possibilities, I even have a few Christmas ideas for this one!

I have the cardstock, inkpad and bakers twine and I'm using it on everything! here is a thankyou card and upcycled jam jar that I am going to fill with mint imperials. I have wound the bakers twine around the jar and secured with sticky dots. The flower is one of the 'petite petals' stamps, stamped in bermuda bay and punched out. I hope you like it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I used some chipboard and covered it in some designer series paper. I then added a layer of watercolour card that I had covered in pink pirouette ink that had been watered down with an aqua painter (stampin'Up waterbrush). Once that had dried I used watercolour wings stamp set and stamped my butterfly using pink pirouette ink,pool party and blushing bride. I cut the butterfly out using the butterfly framelits and my big shot and glued it onto the wall hanging. I used a sentiment from watercolour wings as well and die cut this on my big shot too. I stamped a petite petals flower in pool party and used the matching punch to punch out the flower. The paper roses were made using the pansy punch and some dsp. For each rose you need to punch out four flowers with the punch. Please leave a comment if you would like more details of how to make these roses. They are fun to make but a bit fiddly! I hope you like it.</span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-63744842843507446732016-06-29T14:06:00.002+01:002016-06-29T14:06:59.910+01:00More 'Swirly bird'!!!<span style="font-size: large;">No I haven't forgotten about the 'Swirly bird' stamp set!

<span style="font-size: large;">These are coming to work with me tomorrow. I work in a village preschool and we have 17 children leaving to go to 'big' school at the end of term.

<span style="font-size: large;">These boxes are 6.4 x 7 x 6.4cm and would also be ideal as wedding favour boxes or to hold a small gift.</span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-45439099862969072232016-06-27T15:03:00.002+01:002016-06-27T15:03:38.640+01:00'Flower shop' and watercolour.<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my goodness! i can't believe how much rain we have had in the last few days!! with this in mind I thought I would share a simple watercolour technique with you. I have used the 'flower shop' stamp set and coordinating punch (the 'Pansy punch').</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with a pool party card base and cut a piece of watercolour paper to mat onto the front of it (just very slightly smaller). Using my 'so saffron' ink pad and an aqua painter filled with water I 'washed' the diluted ink over the watercolour paper and put it to one side to dry. I did the same thing with pool party ink on a scrap of watercolour paper and let this dry too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once they were dry I stamped two flowers from the 'flower shop' stamp set onto the pool party watercolour paper, in 'sweet sugarplum' ink (I hope this makes sense!!) and punched them out with the pansy punch. On the 'so saffron watercolour paper I stamped the speckles from 'gorgeous grunge' to the left hand side using pool party and sweet sugarplum again. On the bottom right hand side of the card I stamped the sentiment (from 'watercolour wings') and glued this to the pool party card base. I wound some gold thread around my hand about eight times,lay this over the stamping in a spiral shape and stuck the two flowers over the top of it with stampin' dimensionals, this holds the thread in place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There are so many different things you could do with this idea, just changing the colour scheme would give the card a completely different look, I hope you like it.</span>Claire Napperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02914250749361325698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699634154828668694.post-72137921419347062702016-06-22T17:08:00.001+01:002016-06-22T17:08:38.041+01:00'Watercolour wings'<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, I thought whilst the sun was shining I would have a go at some summery cards. I have used 'Watercolour wings' for these cards.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For these cards I have chosen pink. I love pink, it can be soft and fresh or bold and vibrant. Here,the inks I have chosen are pink pirouette, soft sugarplum and marina mist for contrast.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The Watercolour wings stamp set is a 'three step' stamp set which means the final stamped image is created using three separate stamps. The base layer of the butterfly was stamped in pink pirouette ink randomly all over a piece whisper white cardstock. Then I used the next layer stamp in sweet sugarplum and created the outer edge of each butterfly. the final stamp gave each butterfly more depth and dimension when stamped into the centre of each one using marina mist ink. I love the result, it was really quick to do and to finish the cards I just wrapped some pink pirouette seam binding around the card and tied it into a knot then matted the stamped whisper white onto a Sweet sugarplum card base. As you can see the other card was made in the same way but using the inks in a different order and a pink pirouette card base. I hope you like them x</span><br />
