Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 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&

Something Saturday - Tulip Dies

Hi Creators,

Well this week I thought we'd check out the gorgeous Tulip Dies they're a bit different in that 3 of them have special folds, which I felt needed a bit of explanation (in other words I had to check out what others had done too 😉)

So here's my "take" on it...... this is the card I made before the video

Tulip Dies, Stampin' Up!

I love the idea of the tulips being a bit 3D, so I've curled the card, and added the glossy stuff, which on the left hand tulip is the Shimmery Crystal Effects and the other 2 are done with the Fine Tip Glue Pen.  Mine sadly got all gunked up in the lid,  (there is a pin that's meant to go into the extremely fine tip, and the pin got a bit mangled!)  anyway more than one way to get round things, so I unscrew the lid and use a toothpick to apply it 😃 gives a lovely glossy finish.

Then in the video I show the components I used to create these 3 flowers: Here is the line up......

Then in the video I make up the flowers for this card...

I think the die that produces this squares pattern is pretty cool (and bonus! it's in with the tulip dies!!)

I was thinking it might make quite a nice sympathy card, but I think I'll leave it till I decide who I'm giving it to.  As you can see in the background I've added a purple wash using the thick water painter brush from the set, I didn't think it needed much in the background and I'm happy with the way it turned out - which card out of these 2 is your favourite?

 Check out the video, to see how I put the flowers together


 I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
