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
