Hi folks,
Welcome to our posts this week!
This time we asked out DT to
'dress a tree'....can you believe there
is an actual day for this, in fact there
is two - 5th and 6th December!!
Who actually thinks these 'days' up?
Dawn is with us today to show you
what she has been up to.....
Hi crafty friends, how are you getting
on with preparations for the holidays?
I'm rather behind so I wanted a product
that could be used multiple ways, easy
to use and look good whilst keeping the card simple.
The Dreamweaver Stencil Christmas
Tree is perfect and ticks all the boxes.
You can use so many different mediums
from ink pads to sprays to pastes or even
draw through them.
If you've more time they're great
to dress up even more.
I'm showing four finished cards. Two
using ink pads and two using pastes.
Place stencil down and low tack tape into
position. Do this for each tree washing between use.
The inked trees -
Use a stencil brush or sponge and apply ink
through the stencil. Remove tape and stencil carefully.
The paste trees -
1. Using Dreamweaver Embossing Paste
spread over the stencil. Leave to
dry. Add red glitter glue.
2. Use Imagination Crafts Sparkle Medium and
apply over the stencil. Leave to dry.
Go over areas with coloured glitter
glue and leave to dry.
Then die cut all four trees with the goods frame
from the set and colour the areas around the
tree with coloured ink pads. Next die cut the
pattern backing and colour if wanted
with matching inks.
Decorate your trees with gems and
Card Candi. Layer up with the pattern die
cut and attach to you card base.
Stamp a sentiment underneath.
Love these cards from Dawn and if you want to
have a go, this is what you'll need....
