Using New embossing folders

  These embossing folders rom craft too I coloured in various ways including using their mica magic

New Flower & Frame die

 I used this die from creative expressions in various ways - paper piecing ( 2ways), alcohol inks plus coluring embossed image.

 

Concertina tunnel cards

 I used the concertina tunnel idea in simplified form this year but I thought we should look back at some of the cards done this way in previous years.

 I also tried a flatter version of my window card for this year

I found the village scene embossing folders very useful for providing backgrounds for these cards

and just a few more.........

 Having produced and shown a number of items earlier I carried on playing so hear are a few more variations that I have done.

I also made some Christmas tree decorations from a snowflake die and glitter foam.

Last minute cards

 Using the tree dies ( JND) which went with the tree box I produced these cards. I also used the Woodware tree stamp and made 1 into a winter birthday.

"Special Cards"

 Another thing we often do in December's workshops is to produce cards for those special people in our life.

plus of course the specials from last month. 

I'm still working on these so more to follow later

Christmas decorations and boxes

 I always like to have something different from cards  for people to do at December workshops and so these ideas from JND were great, and of course I had to do another box lantern with one of this years dies. I used the Elegant tree this year

A bit more embossing

 The embossing folders I used appear mainly with the stamping - gnomes & mice for November but I also looked at ways of colouring the poinsettia folder. Also in case people wanted the 3D card without the gnomes and mice I looked at using it with a bird die I still have for sale.

The full board for this  month is

Die cutting

 For November's die cutting I have used the partridge in a pear tree - actually not a tree but pear foliage in a bauble and frame and this years bells with a mistletoe

frame - both From JND

Gnomes and Mice

 Stamping for Novembers workshops involves a Gnomes stamp from Woodware and a 2jays Mice stamp and die set.

I have had great fun with these using them in all sorts of ways - some more of which you  will see next month.

Also this month I looked at using embossing folders for backgrounds. I used a poinsettia folder for a background to the gnome gang and a snowflake one with the mice.
