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 - New Saying Thanks Kit

 Hi there Creators

Today we're checking out this new kit that's been released, Oh my gosh it's gorgeous, and I created an extra card using some of the left overs.  And I worked out that the kit is $23 for 9 cards, so each card is only $2.56!!!  and that's not including the left overs and the box itself, what a bargain.

Check out (and maybe purchase) the kit here:  Saying Thanks Kit

Here are the cards I made: The top 3 are directly as the kit tells us to do them, then I get creative with the left overs 😍

there are a heap of little white hearts that get punched out of the 2nd card, so these, I've stacked and glued together to get little 3D hearts, then covered them with versamark and gold heat embossing powder and (carefully) heated them, to melt the embossing powder, I was thinking they'd look really cute on a present, especially with the white twine loops, but chances are by the time I'm wrapping up a presy I'll forget I've got them, so figured they'd better go on a card!

I loved the colours in the other cards, so thought I'd stick to similar ones, and I've used all the 2022-2024 In colour reinkers to create this watercoloured background. Re-inker links are:  Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Starry Night, Orchid Oasis, and Tahitian Tide.  To create this effect, I've damped down watercolour paper then inked up my watercolour brush, and dotted the ink around, it then spreads and once it dry's you can use it (so pretty).
