Crafters Companion Cut and Emboss Folders

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

Today I thought I would show you some cards that I've made using the new Cut and Emboss Folders from Crafters Companion.

For this card I made a background by using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens.

I used glycerine on an applicator, then picked up the ink from my glass mat

and blended it onto a piece of Sheena's stamping card.

Once it was dry I ran it through my Gemini Junior using the Butterfly Kiss

Cut and emboss folder.

I then went over the butterflies wings with silver pebeo guilding wax.

Stamped a sentiment in the aperture.

Added a bow.

Voila an easy card made in very little time.

Sheena Douglass Stamps and Dies

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

Today I thought I would show you some cards that I've made using the new

Sheen Douglass Stamps and Dies.



For all the above cards I have used Sheena's Embossing Card

and Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens.

I cut the die first and then I used a Versafine Smoky Grey

ink pad to stamp the image onto the die cut.

I then coloured the flowers using Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens by

putting some of the ink onto my glass mat and using a paint brush

with some water on it.

I stamped a sentiment into the centre of the card

and used foam pads to stick the embelishments to the card.

All products used can be bought from

Craftstash, Just click to be taken to their site.

Three layered rose

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

Today I have decided to show you how I make a rose

that only uses three layers.

I haven't used any heat but I have used a hot glue gun.

I've used the same die cut as in my previous flowers.

I've rolled each of the petals between my finger and thumb

to shape them. You need to split one of the layers into

two petals and three petals.

Using the two petal piece put some hot glue on one of the petals and roll it to form a

cone shape.

Then glue the other petal to the first one, still forming a cone shape.

Now take the three petal piece and glue the cone shape in the centre.

Work round sticking each petal to the cone shape.

Take one of your full layers and work round sticking each petal to the cone shape.

Continue the above step with the next layer to finish your rose.

If you want a fuller rose then you can add more layers.

I hope these instructions have been easy to follow.

If you need any help then just leave me a comment.

Three layer flower

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

Today I have another easy flower that uses just three layers.

 

I haven't used any heat on this flower.

 

I have used the same die cuts as I have used on previous flowers.

 

This time instead of rolling the petals between my fingers

I have twisted them instead.

Do this on all the petals on each layer.

 

Unfold each petal, without touching the top and

stretch at the bottom of the petal.

Now use your ball tool and press in the centre

to raise the petals.

Do this on all three layers.

Now glue your layers together offsetting the petals on each layer

and pressing down firmly in the centre with your ball tool as you

add another layer.

 

 

There you have it a three layer flower that was simple and easy to complete.

Easy Primula

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

This primula is another easy flower to make.

I haven't used any heat or a glue gun.

This flower is made using Foamiran,

You can use any 5 petal die that has a similar shape to the one I have used.

Cut two of your flowers

I used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen

and a dry baby wipe to colour the edges.

Pleat the edge of each petal individually and roll

between your finger and thumb.

This is what they will look like after you've pleated

all 5 petals on each flower.

Now stretch the each petal at the centre with your thumbs.

Using a sponge press the centre of each of your die cuts

with either a ball tool, or the end of a paint brush.

This will lift the petals.

I use an ordinary washing up sponge as I can press the

centres deeper than with a flower shaping mat.

Now glue one die cut on top of the other

offset the petals slightly.

Press into the centre of your flower again

to make sure all the petals are raised.

Add two leaves to the back of your flower.

Add a gem to the centre of your flower.

Now wasn't that easy to make

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Please feel free to leave me a comment.

Love

Easy Lillies

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

I thought that we'd start off with some easy, simple flowers.

These don't need heat to shape them.

Or hot glue to stick them together.

This is what the finished Lilly looks like.

These are the items that I've used.

I shaped the Petals by just bending them over my finger.

Then I twisted the top of each individual petal 

between my thumb and finger. Just stretch the centre 

of each petal slightly with your thumbs.

I coloured the centre of each petal using a dry baby wipe

and an Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.

You can use any glue to stick the Petals and leaves together.

Offset the Petals so that they overlap each other.

Using either a ball tool or the end of a paint brush

push down in the centre of the flower to raise the Petals slightly.

Stick the leaves on the back of the flower.

I hope that my instructions make sense

and that you find them easy to use.

Please let me know if there is anything special that you would like to see.

Love

Chris
