Sneak Peek and Year End Closeouts

Whoops it has been a little while since I have blogged.  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day spent with family and friends. 
On the Saturday before Christmas our wider team had a Christmas get together and a group of us made Swaps using products from the new Occasions Catalogue which will go live on January 4th. 
First cut some of the Dragonflies out using a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock,  then watercolour the Negative piece of Thick Whisper White with Bermuda Bay ink, then stamp the Happy Birthday at the bottom. Colour a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer card by spraying with water and ink then adhere this under the water coloured piece of Thick Whisper White which can then be adhered to the card base. Last of all adhere the Dragonflies back into the water coloured card front.

Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink: Bermuda Bay
Card stock: Thick Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper
Other: Big shot, Precision Plate, Detailed Dragonfly Thinlit Dies,
 Aqua painter, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive

Merriest Wishes Shoe Box Swap

On Saturday I along with a group demonstrators got to have a fabulous day just making cards at Jacque Williams, we  had a shoe box Swap, we all made up 10 kits of a card we chose or designed then each one of us taught our card to the group. In all we made 6 cards each we so enjoyed the day.

Below are the card's I designed

This first card is die cut from Thick Whisper White without any Embellishments. 

The Merriest Wishes sentiment is stamped on the tag.

I stepped up the next couple of cards.

With this second card I die cut the Deer and Trees out in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer then adhered them over the thick Whisper White Tag

In this close up a few stars have been added to the card and Tag

For my third card I just cut the Tag out in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer then stamped the sentiment at the top of the card

Home Sweet Home also Specials offers 15th-21st september

One of my favourite sets in the Holiday Catalogue has to be the Home Sweet Home Bundle, this was our class project on Wednesday night, I just love the The Home Sweet Home House and wanted to make a matching card using the front of the House from the Thinlit. 

I didn't want to use Merry Christmas on the front of the card so I used the sentiment from Embellished Ornaments

For the roof we used Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer card so that it looked like snow, I cased this idea from Maria Fennelly for using the negative piece from the roof scallop Thinlit for the snow on the edge of the roof.

You can see the Glimmer card better in this close up of the House and card. The roof on the card is made using 2 strips of Glimmer card and butting the side of the left piece up against the edge of the right piece so you can't see the join.

Ink: Real Red

Here are some cards I had made using this set.

On these two cards I have used only Whisper White and soft Suede, on the second card I used our lovely new Copper Embossing powder

 I cased this card from Dena Rekow but changed it up by using the lovely new Petal Burst Embossing Folder, I also sponged down the sides of the front of the card and on the Brick embossed piece to give it a little bit of dimension. I did use the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on the flowers but you can't see it in the picture.

Rose Garden Thinlits 4 ways

I love the way the Rose Garden Thinlits can be used in different ways, For the first cards I cut two sets of Roses one in Rose Red & Old Olive, the second one in Thick Whisper White. Firstly I adhered the Rose outlines onto the front of both cards, I then took all the small cutout pieces from the Old Olive & Rose Red one then adhered these inside the Thick Whisper White rose. 

For the next 2 cards I cut out a Rose in Thick Whisper White. I laid  the negative piece over a Whisper White matt placed the Rose back into the negative piece and sponged over this in Old Olive and Rose Red I then removed both these pieces ending up with a sponged Rose on the Whisper White matt which I then adhered to the card base, then added a few Rhinestones. 

On the next card I adhered the sponged  negative piece onto another Whisper White matt then adhered the sponged Rose back into this.

Stamps: Perfect Pennants (retired) Petite Pairs (retired), Wetlands

Ink:Old Olive, Rose Red

Cardstock; Old Olive, Rose Red, Whisper White, Thick Whisper White

Other: Big Shot, Magnetic Plate, Rose Garden Thinlits, Basic Rhinstones, Finger Daubers
