Black and white love...

Happy Monday,

I thought I would share the original card today that I based last Sundays project on!  This is also what I used for the lettering for yesterdays card, this time its a little brighter.

I simply cut the Art Deco alphabet die ( its comes in one piece making it so easy to set as there is no chance of losing a letter die) twice in a square of ruby foundation card.  I backed this with black foundation card.

Next I cut the alphabet again in funky foam and again in bright white foundation card.  I then mounted the LOVE U letters on the funky foam letters and then mounted these back into the appropriate letters own the background.

This means that when read the card reads LOVE U which I think is a pretty cool sentiment and works so well in this colour scheme.

A few layers of black, white and red and finished.

Enjoy...

RSVP...

Happy Sunday,

Had a fab day yesterday at Brighouse demoing met some lovely ladies!  Back to today and this card is made mainly from the waste form yesterdays card.

The background is the waste piece from cutting the art deco alphabet.  I cut the alphabet again in ruby foundation card and added the letters back in.

Next I cut the alphabet in white and arranged the letters into the RSVP and matted it in white, red and black.

I made up a set of the doodle flowers in white black and red and mounted them together with a black pearl in the centre.

I made up the card as shown using layers of the gloss black, white and red with crystal corners.

Enjoy...

Home sweet Home...

Happy Saturday,


I will be demoing at Samuel Taylors in Brighouse Leeds today form 10am to 4pm so if you couldn't make it to the NEC don't worry I  coming to you ( if you live in the north that is lol)


A very simple looking card today which is perfect for those moving house detailed yet deceptively simple honest!













I stared by cutting the scalloped lattice into a piece off icicle pearl foundation card and reinserted the die ( i will be demoing the technique on Hochanda the week after next) to extend the pattern.  Next I cut a set of stitched frames, using the frame dies that come in the lattice set, in red, icicle and gloss black to frame the piece.


Next I cut the Uppercase Art Deco Alphabet in black card twice to give me the 2 homes ( don't worry the waste piece can be seen on tomorrow card!)

I cut the sweet from the Sweet Baby die which comes with the baby Onsie die I simply cut of the baby leaving m,e with the delightful sweet!  I mounted the letters onto a piece of icicle pearl card and matted it onto more of the red and gloss black.  I added a strip of the silver metallic linx lightly pulled out ( 4mm).  Next I added a large 8mm black pearl as the 'hanger' and 3mm black pearls on the corners of the 'sign'

Enjoy...

Something Different Sunday...

Happy Sunday,

something different for today's post and a sneak peak of one of the demos I have prepped for next weeks shows on Hochanda which start at 8pm on Tuesday.

I cut the upper case Art Deco alphabet die twice across a square of pearl card.  The best thing about this die is that the whole alphabet is on the one die meaning you don't need to choose which letters you want to use and cut them separately.  This also means that you have a negative piece as I have used her.

Once I removed all the letters I added the square top a piece of double sided adhesive adhered to another piece of icicle pearl foundations card.  Next I cut the font die again in ruby foundation card and selected the L O V E and U dies and placed them back into the corresponding sections.  I then simply added Midnight snow to the exposed adhesive which gives a really bright yet dark shine.

I added layers of graphite, steel and Ruby pearl card and then simply mounted the piece into a box frame.


A different piece of wall art that, once the shows are over, will look great in my Craft Cave!

Enjoy...
