Anything but Square

Anything But Square

To finish the week off we have a theme of 'anything but square' using SplodgeAway products. To start this theme of Kay has definately made a card using anything but square! Thank you Kay.

Kay stepped up to the plate and produced this lovely hexagon card. 

Kay has used the 8"x8" Steam Clock Mask and the new Metal Plate Mask that needs added to the website.
Kay also used:

A Hexagon Easel card purchased from Suzicraft

Distress Inks:  Tea Dye, Old Paper and Black Soot

 Docrafts Chronology CD

Penny Farthing man can be purchased from SplodgeAway.

A selection of buttons in browns and blacks.

Piece of brown and white ribbon.

Small piece of bakers twine.

Instructions:

To start I placed the everyday mask over the base of easel card and inked with the Tea Dye then went around the edges with Old Paper.

I then embossed the Steam Clock mask through a manual embossing machine onto the topper card, then inked with the old paper .

The Penny Farthing man is made from cardboard and I liked the colour for this project so I just inked the hat and body with black soot using a piece of sponge. I then glued a button to the centre of the wheels and glued to the middle ,slightly right of centre of topper.

I then cut out the sentiments and distressed with tea dye and old paper so they would blend with the card.This was now ready to glue to front of easel card.

To complete,  along the base of the card I glued a length of ribbon and glued three large buttons. ( The middle one having a piece of bakers twine knotted through centre)

This would give the dimension for the easel to stand up.

This was quite a simple card to complete. Why don't you give it a go.

Happy Crafting

Thank you to Kathleen

Today is our last day of showcasing the show cards until after the 24th of January.Today we are showcasing some cards designed by Kathleen. Kathleen is a regular customer in the Suzicraft shop aswell as an amazing crafter. After the SplodgeAway show Kathleen could be found in the shop badgering Tom for some masks. Kathleen made some stunning cards that we just had to share with you on the blog.


This trendy goodie bag has been designed using misting over the  Do It with Daisies mask. Kathleen has then embellished the bag with vines and flowers. Very feminine.




Kathleen has produced this stunning A5 card using the 6"x6" Swirly Frame. Kathleen has inked over the mask and embellished the card with a stamp.





Kathleen has inked over the SplodgeAway 8"x8" Dotty Layout mask and trimmed it down.



This is one of my personal favourite cards from Kathleen. I love the layout, mask, colour and just everything!!! Kathleen has used the 6"x6" Fancy Lattice mask aswell as some IndigoBlu stamps and Flitter Flakes.


Thank you to Kathleen for allowing us to share your cards using SplodgeAway products.

Maria Simms on Create and Craft

On the 4th January Tom was accompanied by Maria Simms to demonstrate the new masks on the Create and Craft SplodgeAway Show. Today we will show you Maria's projects..they are beautiful.

My photographs do not give these cards any justice or definition!! Maria made this card on her first demonstration using the 8"x8" Star the Lot Mask and Happy Birthday Border. Maria demonstrated with this card that you don't have to ink with these masks, Maria embossed the masks and used the star mask again to cut some starts and make them the focal point of the aperture.



                                            This card makes a perfect male card.



Maria used the 6"x6" Cogify Mask to make a border around the card and inked over the 12" Vintage Car Border Mask for the focal point of the card. The sentiment topper was made using part of the 8"x8" Dotty layout mask. Thank you to Maria for these lovely demonstrations.

Just a quick reminder that the SplodgeAway Challenge is still running, just upload your craft project using a SplodgeAway product and you could win some brilliant SplodgeAway goodies. This months theme is 'New Beginnings' and you have until the 27th of January.

Rae's Craft Designs from the Show.

Today we are showcasing the talented Rae's designs that she created for the SplodgeAway Create and Craft show last week.

Rae made this card using the 8"x8" Tread Plate Layout. It is actually a shaker card, isn't it fantastic??


Rae has taken the 6"x6" Flourish Frame mask and incorporated it into the 8x8 easel card she has made. Beautiful!


This beautiful feminine card has been made using the 6"x6" Flower Power Layout.


Love the blues on this card. Rae has used the Flourish the Lot mask for this card. Can you believe Rae cut the flourishes out aswell!!


This is one of my particular favourite cards from Rae using the Happy Birthday banner.


Rae has designed a tag and used half of the Dotty 8"x8" Layout.



WOW WOW WOW.....What do you think of this???Rae has used the 6"x6" Card King mask to create this amazing mirror.

Check back tomorrow to see the demonstrations that Maria Simms did on the show. Also this week w will have a StenSkape tutorial from Tom himself.

Thanks for taking the time to read and

Shell's Create and Craft Creations.

Today we are showcasing Shell's creations that she made for the show. Shell is a very talented colourer and her stamps look fantastic. Shell shows us how inking and embossing your cards can achieve some great looks.


Shell has embossed the 6"x6" Card King mask onto white card and stuck with the colour theme white, red and black...isn't it effective???

Shell has used a combination of the Star the Lot 8"x8" mask and Happy Birthday banner to create a brilliant male card. I like the way Shell has adapted the banner so that it can be used on any card without the plane on.

Shell has used the 8"x8" Tread Plate Layout and slightly inked through the mask to create a great background for her image.Shell has  showed how adaptable the masks can be as she has cut it down to trim the screw corners from the edges and banner from the bottom. Just Great!!!


Thank you to Shell for these great designs.

I hope you are all enjoying the designs we are showcasing, check back tomorrow for even more.
Are you enjoying the weekend? Why not pop over to the Ross Papercraft Show at Nissan to meet Tom or next Sunday you will find him at the Ross Papercraft Show in Hull.

Kay's Card Designs.

Today we are showcasing a range of cards from our great DT member Kay. To see more of Kay's creations check out her blog. Kay covered a whole theme of cards for her cards from children to adults. It just goes to show how versatile the masks are.

A popular mask amongst the DT Team this month, the 6"x6" Flower Power Layout. Kay has inked the mask and used stamps for the apertures.

Another fabulous card incorporating 2 masks including the 6"x6" Cogify Mask that has been misted over and the 12" Vintage car border. The clock charm just finishes this card off nicely and watch this space as these may be another extra to the SplodgeAway website!!!



This mask was sold in the man-tastic kit on Create and Craft but it can also be used for ladies cards. Kay has made a great job of inking through the 6"x6" Card King mask and cutting the shape from a layout mask to create the sentiment topper.


Kay has embossed the 8"x8" Dotty Layout to create this beautiful card.



How simple but effective is this card? Kay has used the 6x6" Barbed Wire layout and added stamps into the centre.



Kay has used the 8"x8" Star the Lot mask to create a childrens rocking card and what a great job she has done.

Another great card using a combination of different masks. Kay has used both sets of 12" Car Borders and the Happy Birthday Banner.


Kay has created a tag and inked through the 6"x6" Flower Power Masks.


I do apologise for the sidewards card, I can't turn it the right way :-(
Kay has used several inks on the Fancy Lattice mask to produce a beautiful feminine card.

Thank you to Kay for some beautiful samples. Don't forget if you are going to the Ross Papercraft Show tomorrow in Sunderland you will be able to see all of these cards in 'real life'. If you can't make Sunderland, the SplodgeAway team will be standing at Hull on the 20th January.

Thanks for Looking,
Happy Splodging

Jayne's show cards

Jayne's Creations.

Today we are going to showcase the projects that Jayne made for the Create and Craft Show. Jayne made great designs and considering the design team only had a week or so we think they did a great job!

 

                          Jayne made this card using the 8"x8" Metal Treadplate Layout on mirri card, really effective.

This has proved to be a very popular mask, Jayne has used the 6"x6" Fancy Lattice mask and inked over it.

Jayne inked over the 6"x6" Flower Power Layout and added gems into the centre of the flowers.

Jayne has shown us that the masks don't just have to go on cards, Jayne has used the Tied Knott 6"x6" mask and made an easel note pad. Isn't the mint colour beautiful?

Jayne has used the Fancy Lattice Mask again but this time she has embossed it with pearly card and placed pearls in the centre. The edge of the card has then been Splodged pink, one of my favourites.

The 6"x6" Card King mask



Another great card using core-dinations and the 6"x6" Barbed wire layout.

Jayne went for the monochrome look when using the 8"x8" Dotty Layout.

Made using the 6"x6" Cogify mask.

Thank you Jayne for these great designs. Why don't you pop over to Jayne's blog and see her other creations.

If you are enjoying these designs why not pop along to the Ross PaperCraft Show on Sunday 13th January. SplodgeAway will be there with the latest masks and Tom will be doing lots of demonstrations on the stall. We will also have a wide range of DT projects to showcase both new and old.
The show starts at 10am at Nissan Sports & Social Club, Washington Road, (A1290) Sunderland, SR5 3NS. Entrance is only £2.00.
