Lacey Engagement Wishes

This card was my first made using Tattered Lace dies. I matted and layered snow white Centura Pearl and lilac card stock onto an 8x8 blank.The centre piece I die cut twice top and bottom with the Tattered Lace Chantilly Flourish die. I then removed the cut pieces and put the main card section through an A4 Crafts Too embossing folder. The die cuts were then gently glued back into position and a matching piece of ribbon placed across the middle. The Lili of the Valley sentiment has been dry embossed in silver before being cut and mounted using Spellbinder Classic Circles Large and Lacey Circles. All the crossing sections from the embossing folders have had tiny gems added in matching colours, and a random dot/dash pattern has been doodled along the edge to finish it off.

More Craft Class Makes!

 These two cards were also made at craft classes with Lisa Baker. The one on the right has a main Hobby Art stamp as the jolly snowman and the scarf has been paper pieced with extra sections of the coordinating background papers. The sentiment is set on a snowflake punch, and co-ordinations card makes all the features pop. My favourite bit has to be the 'Fluffy Stuff' from Woodware though; this is applied sparingly (not like me!) and then heated. It magically puffs up and then goes solid. I do like a bit of magic!

This second card has one of the new Cuttlebug dies as the main feature. The die itself is a massive whole section with interlinking snowflakes. This makes a great effect when placed over the aperture as it is here. Some of the snowflakes are also decoupaged with die cut poinsettias for added interest. The card front has been embossed using a Crafts Too folder and the inside of the card has had a silver backing paper placed so it shows through to the front. Those amazing strings of bling are set into a hessian type fabric and can be cut to the size you want - ingenious! They have been layered onto a matching strip of the inside aperture cardstock.
