Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Giving Gifts Dies

 Hi there!

In my random extra Facebook video I did yesterday I was creating this card: (because the new mini catalogue is out and I couldn't resist sharing some of the Christmas goodies in it)

Giving Gifts Dies, Stampin' Up!
In the video I mention that I intended to make up cards with the other dies in this set, and that I would show them off once made......so yay I've made them! I've continued using the whole bundle, check it out here:  Time of Giving bundle  how cute are the little reindeer and sleigh?

The funny thing with this Giving Gifts Dies is that I didn't really think properly when I was looking at them in the catalogue, I was expecting for some reason much bigger dies, possibly the name should have given it away lol!  they really are around gift tag size, but I'm really happy putting gift tags onto cards.........so here goes...

the next card I made up uses the leaves, I had the idea to cut it out of a rectangle of card, then have a second rectangle under it, and colour this in autumnal colours with daubers (I love autumn colours) I've also used a couple of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive backed dots, as they tone in so well

 
Next one I created was using the little baubles, I really wanted something sparkly behind it, and thought yea! I can use the Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper, then realised it's white and I was using Vanilla, ummm, however white card can be coloured..... and the iridescent stripes on this are amazing!  I've used 3 colours and applied them with my blending brushes, I've also used the Treasured Tags Punch to create the beautiful end to the tag.
Giving Gifts Dies, Stampin' Up!

And the last card uses the snowflakes and I couldn't resist using the new Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling Paper, OH wow what a shine! Purchase $90 of Stampin' Up! goodies and you can pick this paper out for free!  I've used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder as I thought it tied in really well with the Be Dazzling paper, which is kind of mosaic'ish, again I've coloured this up with my blending brushes

I'm hoping this will link to the video I created!  FB live video it is a little blurry in places (sorry obviously facebook don't let you have a non-blurry video!)
