Just Peacocks - 3 Ways

 HI Everybody,

Today I am using the new collection called

Just Peacocks
and this time I am adding a video to show how I made three cards using the same die set.

The whole collection is very versatile and can be put to good use throughout the year for lots of occasions.

And you can use the sentiments from other collections to ring the changes if the ones in the collection are not appropriate.

 

I must admit that this card is my favourite of the three made in the video and it was so quick and easy to do

The gilding wax adds the finishing touch to it, though it does make a mess of my fingers. 

The Pebeo one was the gilding wax I used and I have had it for years but I have added an alternative from Craft Stash in the list below as it is less expensive.

The video is not too long and I hope you enjoy my efforts and the cards created.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

More Peacocks

 Hi Everybody,

Here are some mire samples from the Just peacocks Collection and this one uses the single sided Stand Proud die on the Background Perfection Panel.

I have done this one in pink and the finished card is a 5x7.

I have trimmed the Stand Proud peacock from the rest of the card and added it with foam pads to the base, rather than adding all the die cut to the card.

But the result is quite stunning and would make a lovely effect for any occasion. 

Vary the colours for different looks, or use the peacock as a complete panel for the front of your card 

The card to the left is using the Double Elegance to crate a gatefold card.

I have added these panels to some acetate which gives it strength, and the inside of the card is created using the papers from the pack.

Any sentiment could be added to this design or indeed any one of the die cut sentiments in any of the packs.

And this style would make a really elegant Wedding Card.

More tomorrow ...

Just Peacocks

Hi Everybody,

A lovely new collection has been launched at Craft Stash and this is the Just Peacocks Collection.

There are some beautiful dies to help you create gatefold cards or simply add a pocket to the front of your design.

And the papers are such good quality that they will die cut to perfection to enhance your designs.

I have added  a video that has been added to the Craft Stash channel but I will be adding some more to my own channel and of course putting them on the blog as well.

These two cards are showing just some of the items in the collection. 

The top photo is using the die to cut out the feather, ink blended with some lovely shades of teal, gold and blue.

The bottom one is a Letterpressed technique using the embossing folder.

The die and the folder are the same size and can be used individually, as I have done here,  or they can be used together and layered  if you wanted them to,

It is a collection to have fun with and can be used in many different ways.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
