Woodn't it be Lovely?

Woodn't it be Lovely?

Hallo Everyone!

lHere we go with another

look at the those little wooden

embellishments from

Kaisercraft........oops!  I

think they call them flourishes!

Angela Radford is with us

today to show us another way

..............

"Hi everyone, Angela here to

show you what fun I have been

having with PaperArtsy stamps,

Color Bloom sprays and 

of course the Kaisercraft Flourishes

I  started by stamping onto plain white

 card with perfect medium ink and heat 

embossing with clear powder then using the 

Colour Bloom sprays I added colour to 

the card.

I continued to spray a variety of colours 

onto the card and then allowed it to dry 

adding more heat embossed images too.

The next thing was to stamp the chosen

 images onto the card and then cut these out.

To prepare the card blank I folded the front

 section in half to create a Tri-fold type card. 

Then attached a coloured card to the 

front and inner sections.

For this background paper I simply sprayed 

the Colour Bloom onto my craft mat and 

pushed the card through it. 

Let this dry and then using the same ink

 I applied it through a Tim Holtz stencil.

 Once this was dry I cut it to the correct size and 

layered it onto the card. I also added some 

stamping using a Carabelle stamp called 

Circles and Text to add a little more interest 

to the background.

Here you can see what it looks like on the 

inside and the gprgeous shine from the ink.

 Now I stamped the sentiment and

 began adding the images.

 Here we are a little further on. 

The large flower was cut and trimmed 

with other sections added to it including

 the leaves.

Also prepared the Kaisercraft embellishments

 I planned to use by colouring them with

 the Colour Blooms.

 Once everything was ready I was able to finish 

mounting all the images and embellishments.

 Completed the design with the addition of

 Stickles Glitter Glue. 

Hope you enjoyed watching me 

make this card. 

Happy crafting, Angela xXx"

Supplies:

Thank you Angela, always a

pleasure watching your creations

come to life!

Well, I think I'm beginning to get

some idea on what to do with

the Kaisercraft Flourishes.  One

tray could go a long way.......

'Till Tomorrow

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas

Hallo Everyone!

Here's a versatile wreath you can keep

from one year to the next or make as

a gift.  Brought to us by

Louise Thomson

Well it really isn’t long until Christmas will be upon us

 and so I wanted to share a project that

 could be used as a card or a decoration. 

Start by smooshing a selection of distress inks

 across a non -stick craft mat. 

I used ripe persimmon, fired brick and seedless preserves. 

Spritz this all over with water.

Press a sheet of white 12”x12”paper in to the ink

 and repeat a few times as desired to get a 

good coverage and colour on your paper.

Use the tattered florals die to cut as many flowers 

from your sheet as possible. 

With a bit of jiggery pokery you should be able to get quite a few!

Spritz the flowers with colour bloom to give them a lovely gold shimmer.

Use alchemy wax applied with your finger to add more gold highlights.

Place each floral component in the palm of your hand

and run the back of your thumbnail along each petal 

to give them a slight curve. 

Layer them together in twos or threes, 

fixing them with 3D foam mount pads

Arrange the flowers in to a wreath and stick down. 

Coat a piece of white card in antique linen distress ink 

and add highlights using tattered rose. 

Run the card through a die cutting machine 

with a woodgrain effect embossing folder 

then add a layer of ground espresso ink 

to highlight the texture. 

On a rectangle of white card, stamp and emboss 

a Chirstmas greeting using gold embossing powder. 

Ink up with more antique linen distress ink

 then stamp the vine around the edge in 

antique linen to give subtle detailing.

 Layer the components together and finish

 with a dot of gold stickles glitter in the centre of each flower.

Happy Christmas!

Red and Gold

Red and Gold

Morning!!

At least I hope it is wherever

you are

Continuing our opulent theme

what is it about these colours?

Fabulous, rich, warm......

What was I saying?  Oh yes

Continuing our opulent theme

is Hazel Harler with another

beautiful card

I used a white 8" x 6" card blank

The first thing to do is spray some red card with gold foil Color Bloom

Then cover it with cling film - 

scrunch up the film and let it dry.

Remove the cling film and your card should look something like this

 I used red card, gold miri card and the red and gold card for my layers.

I stamped the Woodware festive background onto white card 

with black archival ink and I edged the card with a black pen

I die cut two Memory Box baubles with the red and gold card and gold miri card.

I glued the two baubles together back to back as it's going to dangle on the card.

I matted all the layers together and attached the bauble with some gold cord. 

The red roses were made using a Tim Holtz tiny tattered flowers Thinlits die

A close up of the flowers.
