Framed - in a box - John Next Door (Parisian Style)

Hi there everyone! Hope you are all staying warm and dry today, it's been quite cold here with snow and freezing fog this morning and it's just started again now. Willow enjoyed her outing first thing she and Harper her little Labrador buddy chased each other round the field through the snow and had a whale of a time.
Always running out of time me! Nothing new about that however we have a new die to try out for class this week and as the title suggests it comes from Mr J aka John Next Door.
It's a really good die that cuts out a box frame and takes all the hassle out of trying to make one yourself, it also has t he extra die to make it into an opening card as well. Something a little different from the average card for a change.
Ink Pads used...
Weathered Wood
Tea Dye
Black Versafine
Finesse (spectrum noir) Rustic Brown

Gold Gilding Wax
Stickels glitter glue
Selection of colours from the IZINK ink pads
Gold Embossing Powder
Clear Ink pad
Anti Static bag

Not done the photos as yet will come back in a while just noticed it's starting to go a little dark here now might have to add them in the morning
I can tell you that I have used a couple of dies and a stamp from my Parisian collection but don't worry they don't look very Paris like lol!
See you later x
Quick sneaky peak to give you some idea as to what we will be doing
 Box frame card

Ribbon colour is subject to change 😀

 This is one of my samples for a demo so I decided it would be good to do as a class card. It is 5x7 in size, colours and embellishments may vary
Clear Ink
Gold Embossing Powder
 This is the colour way I chose for class however you can choose a different combination when you make it. This one is just waiting for some ribbon which I need to find when I get to the shop.
Tea Dye
Weathered Wood
Gold Gilding Wax
The box frame can also be added to the front of a card.

Bye for now x

You Little Teasel from Woodware

Hello, I'm back and with the cards for our next classes no less ! Not much time to spare as demo season has already started so I had better get my head in gear and crack on with it lol!
Stamping is the order for our next class and I have gone with these two Teasel Stamps from Woodware, think they turned out better than I expected see what you think....
Black Versafine
Clear Powder
Anti Static bag
White Embossing Powder
Versamark ink pad
Selection of Izinks ink pads
Chunky glitter
Dries clear glue (Tacky glue)
Sorry the photos aren't that good I was rushing to get them on the blog so just took a quick photo of each card.........
 There are two sets of stamps, one is a background which you can see here I have stamped in Clear Ink and used White Embossing Powder
The other set is of two different sized Teasel flowers
If the colours are not to your liking then by all means choose different ones, if you have any that you would like to try then by all means bring them along to class otherwise you will have to choose from the class box. Card one is 5x7 and card two is a 6x6 and is awaiting its sentiment.
So I will see you in soon, forgot to mention if you could bring your heat gun it would be a tremendous help as I have a feeling it might be another busy class this week 😀
