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&

Craft Alive Wodonga Friday & Saturday presentation

Hi Creators,
Here I am at Craft Alive Wodonga Friday I did a live video showing how to use the Stampin Write Markers to colour in the gorgeous Wonderful World stamps  (you can get the stamps and matching papers for free when you purchase $180 of goodies)
Here are the cards I presented, I love that using the pens allows you to colour one stamp in multiple colours - aren’t these stamps stunning?
Wonderful World, Stampin' Up!


To cut the A4 card to the right sizes: the white layer is 7x9.9cm (cut your A4 card into 3 even sections each way). The coloured card is 10.5x 7.4cm (to get this cut the A4 card in 1/2 to A5 then 1/2 again to A6 and 1/2 again)
 
Saturday I showed how to decorate one of the Craft Gift Boxes using the Wonderful World papers, and I put together this gorgeous box to house the cards plus a couple more cards made using the “left over” bits from the box:  I’ve used the Kraft Gift boxes which the C6 envelopes and matching A6 cards fit into beautifully 😀
Wonderful World, Stampin' Up!



During the video I said I'd give the measurements for the layers on the box, so the base plain colour for the two large sides (top & bottom) are 16cm x11cm and the designer paper that sits on top is 6"x4".  On one of these you'll need to cut the hole for the top - I used the Fabulous Frames Dies.  Line up the base card with the designer paper on top, place the die in the middle, and run through your cutting machine (in my case the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine)
 
 Then for the two (or three) long thin sides you'll need base plain colour 16cm x 1.8cm and designer paper measuring 6" x 1/2".

And here are the 2 cards made with the bits I cut out from the middle - gotta love the Fabulous Frames dies!


And the whole lot together - I might make a couple more cards then I reckon it would make a lovely gift 💝

This is the sheet I made up with all the items I used for my presentation  however you can check out this link instead:  What Heather Used which should take you to my website and show you all the goodies (except apparently the Wonderful World stamps & Papers that wouldn’t attach - you can pick them out as your freebies at the end)
 

 

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
