Secrets
There are some new ones coming but I’m not up-loading them
yet because the people I designed them for will ‘know them’ straight away and
there goes the surprise. Some metallic
papers, some pets, some elegance, some fun.
Guess you’ll just have to wait and see.........=^..^=
Three – again
I love using this layout of 3 panels across a horizontal
card (have posted about it before too). And
who can go past this happy, happy Santa twirling through the clouds. The red paper has a textured leather look
which is great. It’s fairly thin though
and difficult to cut up on the paper slicer.
It tends to tear and I think next time I will mark it and cut it with scissors
=^..^=
Glitter baubles
Surprisingly this glittery decorative paper range is from the same pack as the country feel (below). To me the baubles have a slightly kitschy feel and I really wish that I had more because the paper was fun to play with =^..^=
Country Feel
This is a country feel range of decorative paper. It took me a while to work out how to use it because the paper is really designed for scrap-booking rather than card making. The images are offset around the border of the 12” paper and the middle was just a pale pink. I wasn’t really sure about the end result but the cards feel complete =^..^=
Embossing and gold baubles
This is one of my favourites of this batch of Christmas
cards. The Cuttlebug embossing folder is
snowflakes and the card is a lovely cream.
I am happy with it, but I would love to work out a way to get gold ink
to pop more. I don’t want to go the
glitter route because on a card like this that would be overkill. I did add a few small dots of gold glitter
glue around the edges of the baubles which help make it pop. I guess what I’m looking for is a way to make
gold and silver ink shimmer without being overwhelming....any ideas.....?
