Some special cards

 I showed you last month the winter scene cards but to make them special I 3D'd them. They look great but I don't think the picture does them justice.

I then looked at some of the double edger papercuts and tried them with the stepper idea from JND

and then I noticed that I hadn't shown the large snowflakes which a number of people have already done at a workshop

Winter Stamps from Nellie

 I found these lovely stamps on the crafts too website and purchased them for the shop. I then had to  have a play with them for additional workshop cards. Some you may have seen in other settings where i was showing the frames in different uses

Trees and frames

 Once again these are 2 new dies from JND which I have tried in a number of ways.

Stepper cards

 Inspired by the stepper die  JND have bought out I have done some cards with this die but others using the idea and the strip dies most of  which are also from JND. Some ideas worked better than others and there are improvements I would make but when things don't work it acts as a discussion point for workshops.

Woodware Gnomes

 I picked out the gnome with a tree  to try out since the tree could be separated from the gnome and used in different ways as shown below

JND Christmas dies

 I missed out on getting some of the new dies but looking at what I had left to sell I decided to see what else I could do with them. Here are the results so far. I have done some more but obviously forgot to take the pictures  so they will follow later.

Double Edger papercuts

 I tried a few ideas with the new double edger papercuts as you can see below. Love using these and there will be more ideas later

FLOWERS

 I have also been asked about making flowers. Many of these ideas you will have seen before. Some are from card others from flower foam and a few from clay.

I find these are the sort of thing it is useful to make a number in advance so they are ready for any project I want to put them on

Tiles

 Here I have used a tile background stencil and overstamped  or used another stencil over to give the pattern. The coating with clear embossing powder to give a glossy tile effect. Another idea suitable for any time of the year. A lot of these samples still need mounting but I thought top priority was to get the idea out.

Woodware Bubble baubles

 There are new stamps from woodware  with lots of circles in so I thought this would be a good way of using up some card candi and had and all the the circles I keep saving from die cuts. I did also try just painting the baubles  or using pearl drops.
