Ring Out Those Bells!

Hi Everyone,

Last of my Crafters Companion Create a Card samples today, Ring out those Bells. This die is stunning and I love the embossing. I made two easel cards and a shaped card with this die and I love them all.

The first card is quite contemporary with blues and turquoises. I coloured centura pearl with peacock feather distress ink and Paris dusk memento ink and then assembled into a 6x6 twisted easel card.

 

The next card is really simple, but one of my favourites. I used a shaped card and positioned the die carefully so that most of it was cutting. I inked through the die to highlight the beautiful embossing. The inside of the card is lined with backing paper and the Oval from the centre of the die sits behind the opening. The sentiment is die cut with scalloped tags dies and comes from the Vintage Christmas sentimentals.

 The final sample for this die is another easel, but a standard easel this time. Centura Pearl left plain this time with the embossed highlights brought out in Northern Pine Memento Ink. The background of the easel is embossed with the embossalicious 8x8 vintage holly embossing folder. I then used the oval cut out and sentiment from the vintage Christmas sentimentals as a stopper for the easel.

Hope you like them, Classique Christmas samples next week!!

O Holy Night

Good Evening Everyone,

 

Hope you're all having a fantastic week. I've got some more Christmas Create a Card Die Samples to share with you today. I love working with these dies, so quick and easy and yet you can achieve amazing results!! 

 

From Crafters Companion, O Holy Night Create a Card Die is one of my favourites, it is such a striking image and makes making cards so easy. I have used Kraft Card here and some Core'dinations for the frame and background. The inside of the card is embossed with the Embossalicious Vintage Music A4 Embossing Folder and lightly sanded. I have inked through the die before removing the card with Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. The sentiment comes from the vintage Christmas Sentimentals.   

 

This card uses the same die but using Centura Pearl and making a domed front by leaving 2cm of card on either side of the cut out image. I then cut a piece of card the same height as the image but 2 cm shorter in width so it creates the dome. I added acetate sprayed with gold spray and sparkle to the back of the die cut and then assembled the dome using Collall Tacky Glue. This is then mounted onto a 6x6 Card Blank. The sentiment again comes from the Vintage Christmas Sentimentals.

 

I hope you like them, more to come next week!
