Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Something Saturday - Delicate Edges Dies

 Hi there Creators

Today I thought I'd show off these gorgeous Delicate Edges Dies (they were on my "must get" list) and I haven't been disappointed!  I thought I'd show case a couple of unusual ways of using them, so here goes......

In the video I show making your own stamps out of them, using them as masks and more.

This first card shows how I finished off the piece that I had masked back to back, makes such a pretty border!  I used the blending brushes to add the colour and I find it gets into the "cracks" easier than the daubers do.  I've used the Biggest Wish Stamp set for all these cards (such a handy stamp set!) And I couldn't resist using the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, they just go with everything!

Next up I've used the 2 negative pieces from the die cut and coloured in between them - remarkably easy to do with this die!

and here's the actual piece that was cut out, I've used the fabulous Artistic Mix Decorative Masks for the background

And in case you're wondering where did she get that fluffy twine......  yep I've dismantled the White Frayed ribbon 🤣
Then lastly I've used the stamp I created with the die to make this card

The Birthday kind of got lost in the background so I've gone with gold embossing, which shows up way better in the "flesh"!  I've also added some of the Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon, I kind of figure it can be a "guy" card 😃

If you haven't seen the video, here it is....



I hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love
