So get creating. A card, tag, project etc as long as you use Promarkers on it.

You bloggers are amazing!!!

Hotshot Crafts first challenge finishes this Friday. We have been overwhelmed by the number of entries so far. I was scared that we would only get about 10 at the most. At the time of posting this we have 93 entries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

So I was wondering, could you bloggers make it 100 entries??????????????

Wouldn't that be fantastic if we had 100 ( or more) entries for our first ever challenge  AND  just wait till you see the candy on offer for challenge number 2!

I shall leave it with you wonderful, wonderful people

How to:Flower card made with X Cut dies



This is a very quick and easy flower card.

  • Cut out several sizes and layers of your chosen material  ( I used Baking Parchment!) with X Cut flower die
  • stamp over each layer. I lightly stamped with Papermania Urban stamps ( music)
  • layer up the flower. Make a hole in the middle of all the layers and attach a brad to hold layers together
  • Brush over ends of petals with Distress inks with tool applicator
  • Emboss a piece of card ( cut to fit card blank) and emboss through an embossing folder. Distress ink it
  • Cut leaves from your chosen die , colour it with distress inks and stamp over ( music )
 And that is how easy it is


We hope you will have a go. Email us with your card and we will put it on the blog
