Die cuts and fusion inks

 For these cards I have produced sheets  using the fusion inks and then either used these as a background for die cuts or in other cases I have die cut from the coloured sheets.

Embossing folders with fusion inks

 The fusion inks give a lovely finish to the background card. Different ways of colouring the folders have been looked at. The first ones are using folders we have looked at previously but the second picture shows new folders

I should have another photo but will have to show those later

Fusion inks with stencils

Here I looked at  colouring with  fusion inks with both metal and plastic stencils

Stamping with Fusion inks

 May's workshops will focus on using the new fusion inks in all sorts of situations. So we use them with stamps, stencils, embossing folders and die cuts.

The stamping ones are shown here

A few more toppers on shaped cards

 Just a few more to consider as variations on others done

Shaped cards

 Whilst doing cards for family members I revisited some of the different shaped cards that we can do and used them with various toppers I had that I don't particularly use any more. I have lots of these toppers in the shop so I thought this could be an idea for a workshop. Some I have linked with dies I have. Examples on my board are shown below (sorry for overlap) but there are many more ideas around the shop.

Stamping for March workshops

 I have looked at using  old rubber stamps where I have similar ones still for sale BUT I have used them with the new gold fusion inks. I was comparing the fusion inks with the oxide inks and looking at effects on different cards both for stamping and for backgrounds. A few of these backgrounds were on my previous post.

More dies for March Ideas

 

I looked at trying to use Easter dies in different ways to how we used them last year . (I have sold some of the dies since preparing these but still have the chicks and rabbit at the moment.

March Workshop ideas -with stencils and embossing folders

 I have done a few cards with this tulip stencil which I still have for sale then I decided the slider card we did last year would be a great use of the embossing folder used in January. Plus there are a few other with the dies we have

Stamping for this month

 I hadn't got any new stamps to use this month so I opened a Christmas one which had a bird with lots of hearts - so I thought that was appropriate for this month, I also still had the roses for sale from last year so I have used them again and also dug out some from last year using them.
