Forever Young and more Brayering.

I have definitely got the brayering bug, it's definitely something that you need to practise and experiment with. Todays card is a sunset using daffodil delight, pumpkin pie, real red and old olive, again I used a circle for the mask. The tree/swing is from the Forever Young stamp set and is stamped in early expresso, I got the idea for this from the amazing Michelle Zindorf's blog.

 It is a flip flop card made using the label framelit dies. There is certainly room for improvement with my brayering but I enjoy it so you will have to just grin and bear it!

Book Card

This is something I made for my simply scored inspiration station which I don't think I have shown you yet, apologies if I have. It is a card that looks like a book, with concertina sides, which is easy with the simply scored, although I got rather sticky gluing them all together.

It uses the Attic Boutique DSP which is gorgeous so you don't need much stamping. Open it up and this is what you get:

 It's very arty farty (a technical term) but I enjoyed making it, although not sure what I'm going to do with it!

Attic Boutique Cards and a little stitching!

Today I will show you the other cards I made to go in the handbag I showed you yesterday .  I used the other side of the DSP and they have a totally different look. The colour way is poppy red and crumb cake and I actually did a bit of stitching using white bakers twine to go with the corsets!

I used the dotted scallop ribbon border punch and sewed cross stitches using baker twine. I love this punch, I think it must be my favourite border punch. Again I used Beautiful Wings embosslit and the Oval All stamp set.

The second card is a gate fold, which is really easy to make using the metric plate on the simply scored because it gives you the 5.25cm score line. I used the Forever Young Stamp set and Designer Frame Embossing Folder.

It's stamped inside as well with the frame and silhouettes images but I forgot to photograph it.

Attic Boutique Handbag

We had a great time on Saturday at the Attic Boutique Class on Saturday. There are a lot of things to show you as everyone got a goody bag full of products including a full pack of Attic Boutique DSP and had lots of projects to choose from.
This is one of the Ladies handbags, it holds four cards and envelopes although you could easily squeeze some more cards in. It's really easy to make using the simply scored.The flower is made using the fancy flower punch. 

This is one of the cards I made to go inside,using Oval All stamp set, Edgelits, Beautiful Wings and Boho Blossoms punch.

The second card uses the Forever Young stamp set and designer frame embossing folder. Tomorrow I will show you the other two  cards that make up the set.

Sneak Peek - Forever Young

I am really excited because we have a brand new catalogue coming out on Saturday! As a demonstrator I get catalogues early and am able to purchase a few new sneak peek items,how lucky am I?  Still can't wait till saturday when I can order anything I want out the catalogue though, my wish list is getting longer every day.
One of the stamp sets I purchased was forever young, which I love, here is an envelope album, (my new catalogue resolution is to post some tutorials and I will put one up for the envelope album) I made using this set and the new ribbon lace punch.

I also used one of the five new in colours, island indigo. I used broadsheet alphabet and my faithful stamp-a-ma-jig to make the photo's label.  I love the new lace ribbon punch it is so versatile, you can thread ribbon or thin card/aper through, cut the flowers out, the one inch circle punch fits great behind it if you want to highlight a different colour or fits on top of it as I have done in this album.

Bye for now, but keep checking my blog for more info about the new catalogue and our new hostess package which is fantastic.
