From Foxgloves to Autumn

Hi, what a day. Better late than never and it was going so well, should have known something would come along to delay me just when I had managed to get things sorted out early for once, oh well!
Two very different cards for this week but both from one set of rather lovely stamps and when you see them at class I think you will agree. Not going into much detail right now because it is quite late in the day so instead I will give you a look at the cards.
Black Versafine ink pad
Versamark ink pad
White embossing powder
Clear embossing powder
Anti Static Bag
Harmony ink pads......
Winter Rose
Crushed Velvet
Spring Meadow
Grasshopper
Pine Tree
Orange
Bordeaux
Glitter Kiss Fire Red
Opal Polish Gilded Apricot
Blending tools
 If you want to bring your pens to colour the images instead of painting them with the ink pads then feel free to do so
I have used a touch of White Gesso on the tag and the cardboard
 The only thing I didn't have to finish this card was some ribbon in a suitable colour so hopefully there may be some at the shop, I will have a look in the morning




Don't forget if you click on the photos you will be able to see them in more detail
Don't think I mentioned that the stamp set is an A4 sheet of clear stamps  that came with the Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine issue 193 maybe you might want one 🤔😉 lol!!! See you soon x

Two Jay's - Winter Scenes

Good afternoon hope everyone is well this is just a quick post this week I seem to have less time than ever so I tell you what's on offer for the next set of classes............
Two Jay's being the name of a New Stamp Company feature in the next couple of cards I have made which we will be doing in class, although they are Winter related they can be both Birthday and Christmas so that's useful wouldn't you say.
Now although I have made three different cards we might only get time to do two of them so let's just wait and see.
Two are 5x7 in size and the third is a 6x6.
I have used the Perfect Poinsettia dies from CC Sara's previous collection, and the Wreath die set from the new Enchanted Christmas collection which I always enjoy making.   The Poinsettia flower is made from Foam and coloured with ink pads.
(a red and a green)
Black Versafine
Enchanted Christmas Stencils (Stars and Birch Forest)
Harmony ink pads Midnight...Smoked Pearl...Grasshopper...Pine Tree
Metallic Pigment Silver
Stormy Sky Distress ink pad
Archival Watering Can ink pad
Clear embossing powder
Glitter glue
Leaf die from Peony Collection
Fluffy Stuff
Finger Daubers
Black Stazon ink pad
If there's anything I've forgotten to list then I'll add it later
Ok photos.......


Both cards have mat and layers using the Gemini Torn Edge layering dies Rectangles and Circles



The little stamped image on this card is a stamp from my stash, Two Jay's do some very similar but I didn't have one to use at the time and this was the only one I could fit inside the wreath.
See you soon x

Christmas Box. Create a card Dies

Good morning folks, hope you're all feeling well and for those of you who are not we are sending get well wishes for you to feel better soon x
Here as requested by quite a few of you who wanted to make the sample box I did for demo day with the new Create a card Dies then you will be pleased to hear that's what's on offer for you this week. Please be aware that colours may vary depending upon stock availability.
I will mention that if anyone has any of the dies then please bring them along with you this will cut down on waiting time and if you wish to bring your own Poinsettia dies (I used the set from Sara's Poinsettia Perfection rang) then that's fine also.
For the colouring of the Acetate panels that are behind the die cut panels I used my Alcohol inks Red Pepper and Bottle (green) and my felt pads with the blending tools.
To add some colour into the background of the box I sponge red and green Starlight paints however I didn't know this little project was going to be a class so we don't have enough of that paint for you all to use so this will be substituted  on the day same or very similar colours just a different product.
Other Stuff!
Tacky glue
Red liner tape
Gold Gilding polish
Rich Red Gilding polish
Gold Gilding Wax
Red and a green ink pad (to colour Poinsettia)
That should just about be it for now, I have a couple of photos but they are not the best so if I can I will try and get some better ones later  😀
See you soon TTFN X
