Happy Saturday,Another couple of the samples from todays shows on Hochanda Today I am sharing cards made with the Apron die and the Easter basket, this time an actual easter card!
This first card is made as a card blank using the die to make the blank. Next I cut the apron again in hessian fabric from the DCWV everyday wreath 12x12 paper pad I have on the show. I then shaded around the the apron using a smoothie and archival jet black ink to add some age to the gardening apron.
I then sued the dies from the window box die to make the flowers gathered in the pockets of the apron. I finally used some black twine as the loop and ties for the apron and a perfect card for a gardener made!
Next is the easter basket where I have again used just the front die to make a flat basket on the front. This is another demo on the show so tune in to see how this was made heres a close up of the basket!
Enjoy...
Wow John
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are brilliant, looking forward to the shows today to see them demonstrated.

Both great cards. Love the apron one made for a gardener. Clever idea. Enjoyed the show last night, but a bit distracted by the Easter tree throwing shadows on your face. Thought there was something wrong with my TV at first!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards today. However your demo with the basket was the real winner - have bought it as there seem to be so many uses for it.

Morning John, oh you were super yesterday on Hochanda, I looked at the repeat of it again this morning in case I had missed anything, thank you so much for the tips. Also a big thank you to your Priory ladies who made such beautiful samples, the basket tree looked really good, pity it took up half of the screen though as you looked quite cramped on screen.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to today's shows, I wonder what you will come up with today.............keep us guessing.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Amazing cards John.. Really enjoyed the show last night. I am sorry I am working to day but will be catching your shows this evening. I love all the different ways you was showing the dies..... Wendy

ReplyDeleteLove the cards John last night you were brill loved the demos and tips thank you love June horrocks xxxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards As much as I love versatility in using dies I also like ones that do "what it says on the tin" and get variations on just changing the colours etc I hope that makes sense
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards, John. Just watching you make the butterfly card - these dies were my favourite from the latest release. Love that hessian fabric.

Hello John,
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today! Wow you have been very busy! I thoroughly enjoyed last night's show and today's midday one! Will watch the earlier one on Catch up! The tree looks lovely as do all your beautiful Easter baskets! Like the idea of making apron shaped cards or tags they looked lovely.
Many thanks, John and safe journey home!
Love Myra

Hi John, I managed to catch your last show, the other will be on catch-up, I was hoping to watch you create an Easter Basket, as I bought this die when Sue launched them, I managed to see your baskets on the tree but think I missed you making one. These two cards are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Lovely projects John. Managed to watch last nights show, part of the 9am and just watched the 4pm one. Need to see the rest of the 9am show and the 12 show in Catchup. Thank you for all your brilliant ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi John I've just finished watching your last show I loved the baskets and the apron cards your demos were amazing and the samples were superb I missed the (.am show and the midday one but will watch those on catch up tomorrow. Congratulations on your fantastic shows and thank you for your inspiration only problem is now I want to buy all the dies!
