Elements and The Garden of Love

Hello everyone, well what a state of affairs, hope you're all keeping safe and well in these unpredictable times we find ourselves in right now. Wasn't sure that the classes would continue so just incase I have prepared a couple of cards that will be for tomorrow's class but this could well be our last for a while who knows?????? Okay let's not dwell on that for now and I will move on and tell you what I have used on both these 7x7 cards.
Harmony blending ink pads in a few colours
Finger Daubers
Tri blend pens
Copper pearl Opal polish
A variety of Crafters Companion new Products (see photo)
The usual Black ink pad and glues
Think that covers it all for now

Butterfly die is from Vintage Lace collection
Mandala mask is from Creative Expressions
Gemini Element dies
3D Embossing folder from Garden of Love collection
Background from the Layering stencils

Paper from the 12x12 Garden of Love paper pad









The Blue Bird die has been placed onto Silver glitter card and coloured with the Tri blend pens



So now it would seem that all depends upon the current situation and I will  wish you all well and see you soon xxx
Here's hoping that it won't be too long 🤷‍♀️🤞🙋‍♀️

Pop Up Box - Crafters Companion

Hi! No time to chit chat unfortunately as I am under pressure and feeling stressed right now with my next demo this weekend and don't have everything I need so I must do what I can with very little time left, so I made the decision to give you a chance to try out these new dies from CC, they are lovely and I will definitely enjoy making them. What are they ??? well I can tell you that they are the new Pop Up box dies with sets of stamps and dies to embellish them, and
with several different designs to choose from.
So without further ado you will need to bring your Tri blend pens or other marker pens to colour with, a trimmer would be very useful as you will need to cut the panels that decorate your box, tape runner if you have one, tacky glue, finger daubers or blending tools and Finesse Alcohol Proof Black ink pad or similar.
I have also used my stamping platform  and Red liner tape.
Not a huge list this week but there's a fair bit of layering and dies to cut, stamp and colour so papers, design and colours may (will) vary  😆  I  have a couple of the sets for you to choose from. If you have any favourite papers you would like to use then please feel free to bring them.
Will add a photo shortly to see the one I did today
See you soon x

Finally a photo of the box I made ignore the numbers, I did it as a 70th birthday  you will be able to customize yours in class x
 This is the Birthday theme set I have used but there are other sets to choose from

It will fold flat to fit into an envelope

The background paper will be different to mine as I just don't have enough in the paper pad to go around everyone in class
