Stencilled on both sides of the circle
- die cut with the Tonic layering scalloped circle set.
Framed the aperture and suspended the Circle with invisible thread - hope you can't see it! lol

Free Papers

 

 

Everyone loves a freebie and I thought I would show a variety of way to use up the papers in our stashes....

 

 

I used free papers for these cards for a Change as they were particularly pretty.

From issue 70 Creative Cardmaking

Distressing, Stencils. cutting, decoupage, ribbon twisting and die cutting  all used in the making of these cards. Only thing left to do....I am going to glaze the butterflies

 

 Glaze to be added onto the butterflies

Workshop Circle Card

 

 

 

Some photos from the Circle Workshop held at J and C Creations on Friday

based on an idea from Eileen Godwin I adapted the templates to fit my Tonic Dies

 

 

This was a sample selection from the Ladies'. They all had a good time and I was feeling sooooooo much better than Tuesday. Hoping there is some homework to see completed, in which case I will add some more

I'm Back!! Wedding Card

 

Celebration Card

Hello all - well this is the first day back after a nasty bug which left me decidedly under par so easing my self in I start with a Wedding or Celebration Card..............

 

Quite self explanatory - I used the Hougie Board to score a frame and pattern on the base card and then die cut the Spellbinders elements as shown. Embossed a background piece of card and assembled. Added a few pearls to finish.

 

Oak House Studio - all Pansied Out

 

 

Colouring today and for this card I used Oak House Studio Chemistry Ink in a Bottle

The Inks are super for painting neat or mix your own colours by combining 2 or more. I heat embossed after stamping the Pansy and used the Gold Detail Embossing powder which is super fine for all those detailed stamps you have in your stash..decoupaged up a couple of layers for effect.

Currently there is a free P and P offer on orders so why not pop over to the Shop to have a look - all the ink are there - the Pigment Ink Pads are great for your Distressing too.

Sweet Poppy Stencil - Cake 1 

I used Sparkle Medium on the flower and leaf area after masking the cake off  and left to dry,  then I stencilled using white glossy paste just on the cake area and left to dry. I coloured the candle and add a few dots of sparkle medium onto the icing and around the cake stand. Sentiment added. That's all!

Golf Theme card

 

 

 

Had open choice to make this card for a Friend - once I chose the card shape it was OK. Sometimes free choice is harder I think!!

 

Cut the name and numbers using the Cricut and distressed and gilded them. Distressed the front of the card and cut the grass. Had some Golf accessories in my stash and cut the other things out from a download.

 

All turned out well in the end I think........!!
