Cut and Emboss Christmas

Hi! Hope you're all indoors and staying dry on this extremely wet day, when will it stop ? Soon I hope I need to do some shopping but just don't seem to fancy getting drowned out there lol! So instead I will tell you about class for tomorrow and next week.  A little something more straightforward and easy to achieve this week which by the way is a little taster if I'm correct for our demo that is coming up shortly infact it is in the diary for the 24 August so something crafty to look forward to.
The new Christmas Cut and Emboss folders in six designs make life so much easier when it comes to making those all important cards, they are so quick and easy. I have chosen the Angel and Christmas Eve
and kept them very much in traditional style but you could do so many nice things with them including turning them into lovely shaker cards.
Ink pad colour........
I used my Harmony water reactive pads
Midnight Blue
Ocean Blue
Pale Fig (light purple)
Pumice (stone)
Smoked Pearl ( medium grey)
Clear ink pad
Black Versafine
Glue Pen
Blending tools
Finger Daubers
Anti Static Bag
Glamour Dust
Poinsettia Perfection Die set
Small Snowflake stamps from my stash
Gemini Nested Stitched Ovals
Think that just about does it for now.




The background is inked and stamped with Smoked Pearl, clear ink and Blue Sparkle embossing powder.

I changed my mind and decided to keep the Angel white with just a touch of glitter
See you soon x

Holly Berry + Poinsettia Papercuts Edger Dies

Well it's afternoon already and I'm feeling hungry now but that's because I haven't had any lunch yet, only just finished our class cards for the next couple of classes using the Christmas Papercuts Dies from Creative Expressions and if you've not seen them yet they are edger dies, one is a Poinsettia flourish the other a Holly Berry flourish, think that's the best way to describe them to you.
What I have used on both cards........
A medium and a dark Purple blending ink
Heather Gilding Polish
Poinsettia Perfection 3D embossing folder
Harmony blending ink pads Sandstorm and Smoked Pearl
White Gesso
Antique Gold Gilding Wax (Renaissance will work just as well)
Clear ink pad
Jeweld Gold embossing powder
Anti Static Bag
Pebeo Acrylic paint Pearl Chestnut
That's it!
See you soon x
