Making Flowers Hessian

Hi Everybody,

This quick and easy card was created using one of the stiffened Hessian flowers that I stamped some text onto and then die cut into the petal shape I wanted.

It has just been added to a stencilled background and I have tucked green leaves behind the bloom. The stencilling is done onto Kraft Card

The sentiment is cut from silver mirror card and stacked with white card to give it depth. I have hot glued the flower to the card front for safety.

The finished size is a small A6 but I have kept the fold at the top.

Here is  the video in case you needed to refresh the process 

Autumn Themed Card

Hi Everybody,

This pretty cards has been created with the 5x7 Plaited with Love die set,  that has been around for a long time now.

 I have used tones of orange and brown for this design and used the die to add the trellis pattern into it..

It also has a large Hessian flowers on the front with green leaves pushed in behind the bloom.

Each petal has a diamante flower in the middle of it.

I have added the display to a brown tag with the hole at the top and threaded it with orange ribbon.

Between the layers to the card I have glued in cardboard to give some height.

It is not that deep that it won't fit into an envelope, but you can always add it to a box if yours turns out deeper than mine.

The "So Sorry" sentiment is layered in gold and added to the bottom of the panels. 

Bye for now ...

Hessian Flower in Orange

 Hi Everybody,

Here is another of the Hessian flowers that I made in a previous video and I still have quite a few flowers that I can use up on my cards

This one was created with a circular die and coloured with Distress Oxides and a large gold centrepiece added to the middle of the bloom.

It was made very quickly with a stencilled background and then I added in the extra shapes that I have cut with a trellis die.

The finished card is a 5x7 and I have different shades of orange as the layers to the front.

It is another card that was quick and easy to make and this is another one for my charity box that is once again filling up.

I spent  hole day over the weekend just making boxes to go with those cards that have the deeper flowers on them, and now they are ready to go also.

Bye for now ...

Using Desk Top Finds

 Hi Everybody,   

This card is using all the desk top finds that I already have on my desktop and I am happy with the result.

The Trellis in the centre is from the Plaited with Love collection and this is one of my all time favourite die sets.

The flower is made from Hessian and I have coloured it with Distress Oxides, and I share that process in a  video that is on YouTube.

Making Flowers with Hessian

The gold card has been embossed in a folder and then added to a knitted card background and the finished size is a 5x7.

I always make extra die cuts when everything is out for just such an occasion as this and then it is quicker and easier than starting from scratch every time I want to make a card.

Bye for now ...
