Colour Charts for Easy Reference

At the moment I am creating my own colour charts for my ProMarkers, Derwent pencils, Sakura pens and Distress Ink Pads.


For the colour charts I created a layout in PowerPoint, added the details like names and numbers for the individual pens, pencils and ink pads and printed these details onto the cardstock I am using most of the time. Collecting everything in poly pockets and a flexible folder keeps the sheets nice and tidy and keeps it all together for easy reference.

Although I still need to add some pens the folder has already become my permanent 'companion' whenever it is crafting time. I would not want to be without it any more.

Yes, it takes a bit of time to put all the information together. But now it is so much quicker and easier to match up the colours with cardstock, background papers and each other. It saves a lot of time in the long run and leads to better results when colouring in images.

Smirk For Him

I am currently working with the great Smirk For Her and Smirk For Him collections. The products are really crying out for some fun cards.

Full product listings and step-by-step instructions for all cards below are in my Trimcraft gallery and also in the gallery of official Trimcraft projects.

The sentiments on the third and fourth card have been created by myself. Please feel free to use them for cards for your personal use, but do not use them for competitions/challenges or pass them out as your own.
