Alternate Wedding...

Happy Monday,

I thought I would share one of the alternate wedding cards I made for the Wedding I went to at the weekend!  This i thought was too busy and not in the correct colour so I went with yesterdays but every card and project deserves it';s day in the sun ( or on the blog in my world lol)

I used pieces left form recent workshops for the background and frames using pixie powdered watercolour paper with Pewter, Midnight blue and Rich gold powders to make this which was used for the flowers, frame and background as well as the sentiment.

The central panel is using the new white glitter kiss through a mask ( a random one from my box sorry) onto acetate and used this in the frame.  I then added die cuts in silver and white using the spellbinders elegant ovals with a Creative Expressions sentiment die in the centre.  The flowers are the orange blossom topping seam binding made coloured with the pixie powders.

A complex looking card however hopefully harmonious and great for many occasions if not for a wedding!

His and Hers kisses...

Happy Monday,

A double day today with 2 cards made with almost the same ingredients just changed with using different colours of Glitter Kiss to make a men's and ladies version of the same card.

I thought I would start with the mens version made in autumnal shades.

The pink version of this card was demonstrated on Hiochnada last week however I'll quickly run through the procedure.

I stared by using the take a leaf mask over a pice of bright white foundation card.  I added copper and golden sand glitter kiss using the 4 direction method ( see the video on Facebook or Youtube for this)


Next I embossed a larger 7.5 x7.5" piece of bright white with the brambles rose embossing folder and added the same 2 colour of glitter kiss starting with the copper and adding a thin layer of the gold over the top.

I then cut each of the solid leaves in the autumn leaves trio die set and using the same colours covered these with the glitter kiss, I shaped these and added them on the edge of the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment from my Honeysuckle clear stamp set and cut it with the stitched flags die before adding glitter kiss lightly around the edge.

I made up the cards as shown with layers of copper and gold pearl foundations card and added the whole thing to 8x8" card blanks ( both actual cards for once!)

If you are at a loss for something to do this bank holiday Im demoing at Mountain Ash Crafts at halfpenny green vineyards Stourbridge why not pop along and say hi!

Kiss the leaves...

Happy Sunday,

I thought I would share this card I made for the glitter kiss show last week on Hochanda.  I think this is, to me at least, the perfect men's card as its just leaves and is a great way to use glitter on a men's card.


I covered a piece of card with the Copper, golden sand and Sahara gold glitter kiss to make the textures glitter card.  I then cut the autumn leaf trio of the card and stamped my wood grain A6 Rubber stamp over using black archival ink ( that's one of the great things about Glitter kiss you can stamp over it with normal ink)

Next I took a piece of ribbed white foundation card and cut the leaf trio out from it.  I placed this over a piece of heat resident acetate and added the outline dies from the same set into the apertures.  I then added pieces of the glitter kissed card behind this with mounting cushion.

I stamped the floral circle sentiment for  Happy Birthday off the page and added the stamped leaves in the centre with a metal embellishment from my stash.

I finished with layers of Gloss Black and more of the white to keep the colours simple yet classic.

Glittered Daisies...

Happy Wednesday,

The One Day Special continues on Hochanda today at 9am, 12pm, 4pm & Final Call at 7pm with the fabulous Glitter Kiss from Cosmic Shimmer.  Today's card again shows some of the techniques that can be achieved with the product.

I stared by adding the glitter kiss in Ice Blue to the daisy mask, I then added silver chrome glitter kiss so that the colours mixed.  Next I stamped over the top using Sahara gold and my horticultural script stamps over the top.  That's one of the wonderful things about Glitter kiss unlike other glitter mediums it is not raised at all meaning you can stamp directly over it and mix colours without having them contaminate.

I cut the piece out using the noble double pierced circles cutting the top of the flower to poke over the circle and matted it on a silver circle.  I then added a background embossed with the Rambling rose 8x8" embossing folder with the raised are coated in the Ice Blue glitter kiss ( I never thought it would be possible to glitter just an raised surface!)

I added a spray of cape daisies which are perfect with the glitter kiss and added the leaves all coloured with the product.  Finally I added a layer of black with the edge just kissed with the glitter!

Tune in today to see exactly why I think this product is so special and see lots of ways to use it!

Enjoy...

Glitter Kiss Show day...

Happy Tuesday,

I'm back on Hochanda this evening at 8pom with the launch of the Glitter Kiss one day special.  I thought I would hare a few of the different projects I have made with this amazing product!

Everything from colouring to stamping has been done using the glitter kiss !

Glitter Kiss Show Launch...

Happy Bank Holiday Monday,

I'm back on Hochanda tomorrow night at 8pm with the launch of the Glitter Kiss One Day Special from Cosmic Shimmer.  I love this product not just because it was my idea but because, as usual, of what you can do with it!  You can literally kiss any project with Glitter that doesn't shed or need glue to stick it and leaves no mess, what's not to love?

I thought I would share this project today to whet your appetites! everything on this card is made with glitter kiss even the stamping!

The amazing thing is that although the background looks raised its totally flat.  I used the Lavender Kiss and Silver Chrome kiss through the Leafy mask onto white foundation card.  I then added the circle sentiment from my Clear stamp set in sea green glitter kiss.  I cut this out with the noble double pierced circles dies using the B set to make the mat for this.

I added the flower from the centre of the sentiment over a messy bow of organza ribbon from my stash wit the lace edged leaves gently kissed with the lavender glitter kiss.

There are so many techniques you can make with this product join me tomorrow ( Tuesday) or through Wednesday to see what can be done!


Don't forget Sue Wilson is on Hochanda this afternoon at 3pm with the amazing Nautical range of dies!

Welcome to the Atlantic...

Happy Monday,

I am back on your screens on Hochanda tomorrow night at 8pm then through the day on Wednesday with the Atlantic ocean collection by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions.  I thought It was time I shared a few of the samples I made for the shows.

Today's card is one I made at my demo day at Samuel Taylor's in Brighouse on Saturday, well I stared it I added the extra layers and the bow when I got home I just had to finish this card!

I stared by cursing the detail and next square die from the Atlantic ocean background die into bright white foundation card.,  Next I cut a panel of primrose to match and embossed it with the die before adding it to the back of the die cut.  Next I added a panel in the centre made by repeating the rippled striplet die cut up and set onto more of the primrose.

I then cut the spring foliage die twice in white and gently kissed the die cut with silver chrome glitter kiss.  I then cut both of the styles of flowers that come with the spring foliage in primrose, shaped them and added them over the foliage as shown.

Next I embossed a piece of the white with the brambles rose embossing folder and added silver chrome glitter kiss over the raised pattern.  There is a video of this technique on facebook and I will have a sow on this on Hochanda in April.

Finally I added  a bow of silver ribbon and finished with a pearl embellishment and some more layers of white and primrose.

Enjoy...
