From Our house to yours

Hi
Here is a project i have made for In2craft DT  to show just one of the new Creative expressions papercuts die called Bells and Bows
. You will not find better prices than here at the  In2craft  facebook page /shop for all things creative expression,Xcut and more
I have handmade everything from the frame ( there is a tutorial using step by step  pictures on my blog HERE . I used a 12x12 patterned  piece of a decent  gsm weight  for this frame and i  scored  the paper at 3cm, 6cm, 9cm and 12cm on all 4  sides INSTEAD of the measurements i quote on the tutorial as that makes a smaller frame )
 The die is cut in white and has silver behind it .

The banner has been hand cut and i used a Sheena Douglas sentiment stamp which i embossed using versamark and silver wow  ultra fine embossing powder which i then heated with my heat gun.

The flowers were made from  white 0.60 weight foamiran and a poinsettia die (which is  from marianne d designs.) i added a little pale green distress ink and some stamens to the middle.. The flourishes are made using   just a few different  dies  i had in my stash and i cut them in silver and white and dotted some frosted berries in and around them

The bow was created using my Craftdeebowz bow maker and some bias binding ribbon

A shabby chic creation...

Hi
Tracey here with this months inspiration project  for Craft-DeeBowz. I am a huge fan of anything girly and love to use a lot of embellishments on my projects. Here i have created a shabby chic card that you could use for many occasions by simply changing the sentiment.I have used die cuts that i had in a big box so effectively it has been made using scraps.
I have used a pre coloured image from Pion designs. I  added lilac ink and pink ink to the die cuts and layered them around the image until i was happy with the design . I added a banner ,some pearls ,a ribbon with roses on as a border [again a small scrap i had left from a previous project]The flowers are from wild orchid and i made a beautiful multi looped bow using my Craftdeebowz bow maker. It makes stunning bows every time with easeand little effort.

Happy Christmas

Hi ALL
Here is a project i have made for In2craft DT  to show just one of the new Phil martin collage  stamps.. You will not find better prices than here at the  In2craft  facebook page /shop for all things creative expression and more
You will be amazed. The stamps have been featured on hochanda  a couple of days ago as a one day special.They stamp beautifully too
 I used the stamp to create the background for this card .I stamped it onto ivory card using Red  brilliance ink and my Tim Holtz stamp platform.
The die i have used is Called Eve .l cut from Kraft card.The die is  made by creative expressions and was part of their festive launch . I do think it will be an all year round die as the pattern does not scream Christmas at you so making it very versatile .
The  handmade flower was made using 0.6 foamiran from Crafteezee. 

I also added berries that i bought from the works and  to which i had added some glitter to frost them. The banner was cut using a Stampin up die. It made a nice change to make a Dl card instead of my usual 8x8 cards.
