Hi Everyone,
So I had a creative block a few months ago. I went to a craft night and a friend as creating a rolodex and I thought I would love to give that a go. So I went of the hunt for a rolodex and found one as well as a Memorydex from Heidi Swapp.
I liked the Memorydex better as the pagers were a little bigger and good for my coloured images.
Creative block fixed!!!!!
I love creating these pages.
So......for today's inspiration, I have created a page for my Memorydex card using a stamp set from CC Designs.

Hi Everyone,
For today's card I have used new stamps and corresponding dies from CC Designs.
Ingredients
Medium: Copic Markers
(C7, C6, C5, C4, C3, R20, R35, RV14, RV13)
Sentiment: Included with stamp set & Mini Alphabet & Numbers Die

(Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans, Black Soot)
Card Stock: X-Press It Blending Card, Black Card
Ink: MFT Extreme Black
Other: White Gelly Roll 08 Pen
Method:
First I created the background for this card by ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks (listed above). I then cut a tree from vinyl using the Silhouette Cameo Machine. I adhered this to the card. I then flicked white ink (Amsterdam Ink) over the background and allowed it to dry.
The images have been stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card using Extreme Black in from MFT. I have coloured them with Copic Markers and then used the dies to cut out the images. The image hanging from the tree has had the branch trimmed off. These images have been adhered to the card base using Foam Tape and Liquid Glue.
To finish off the card, I cut the sentiment 'Bugs' from white card using the 'Alphabet & Numbers die' (link above). The '& hisses' has been stamped onto black card and embossed with white embossing powder. These have been adhered to the card using both Foam Tape and Liquid Glue.
Until next time

Hi Everyone,
For today's card I have used a stamp set from CC Designs and LED Stickers from Chibitronics.
For this card I have used the new 'Craft with light kit'. It makes craft with Chibitronics so much easier as everything you need is in one pack.
Ingredients
Stamp Set: Fairy Friends
Medium: Copic Markers
(Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20
Hair: E47, E44, E43
Clothes: BV04, BV13, BV02, BG49, BG15, BG13, BG32

Electronics: Craft with Light kit from Chibitronics
Card Stock: X-Press It Blending Card, Smooth white card
Ink: MFT Extreme Black
Other: White Gelly Roll 08 Pen, Shimmer Pen, Glossy Accents
Method
1. Background
Firstly, I stamped the images onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured them with Copic Markers. I fussy cut around the images leaving a small white border.
I also created the background using Distress Ink.
This card will measure 14 x 9cm once complete.
I have used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the layers for the battery holder. I glued 8 of these together.
I have glued them together using Liquid Glue from Bearly Arts. If find this glue does not warp the card and makes it really strong.
I put plain card stock on the back of this card to finish this card.
The card used is 300gsm smooth white card,
3. Circuit
The circuit has been designed on the battery holder.
I have marked where the light will go (from the card front). I then mapped where I want the circuit to go in pencil. This makes it easier for me to complete the circuit.
4. Completing the Circuit
The Circuit has been complete using the Fabric Conductive Tape and LED Stickers.
This card works by pressing the 'press here' The positive will connect with the battery, turning on the lights.
5. Adhere the card front
It is time to adhere the card front I prepared earlier to the battery compartment.
I have used double sided tape to do this.
The coloured image have been adhered using foam tape.
6. Let's light this card up!
This circuit uses a 2016 battery to power this card.
To light this card card up, press on the 'Press Here'.
