Papercraft Essentials 153 - Mandala Stencil

Hi Everybody,

Stencils are very popular at present and have been around for a long time.

They are something that I really enjoy playing with and they can help you to customise your backgrounds to suit your colour scheme and design and there are so many patterns around.

But this one is free and very pretty so what more could you want.

It is the gift that is attached to this months

Tuesday Tutorial - Spellbinders Heart Leaf Frame

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created by simply folding an A4 sheet in half and then cutting in half. 

It will produce two cards for you to decorate as you wish. 

But it fits perfectly the Spellbinders Heart Leaf Frame designed by Marisa Job. 

So a quick and easy card for today

Spellbinders Supplies:

• Heart Leaf Frame
• Blistered Embossing Folder
• Classic Ovals

Other Supplies:

• Card from Papermill Direct
• Flowers from Wild orchid Craft
• Glitter from Glitter Magic
• Ribbon from Mei Flower
• Gold card from Craft Stash

Instructions:

Fold an A4 piece of white card in half along the short side and then cut in half to produce two tent fold cards

Cut another slightly smaller layer to leave a small border around the edges and emboss this piece

With bright gold card cut the Frame die and if you care fully position the die into the centre of a 5x7  panel then you will get all three pieces from the die as shown above.

I will be using the two pieces to the right but the other one will be kept for another project

Savvy Crafting !!

Add the filigree piece to the embossed panel. 

Add the smallest solid piece with foam pads underneath to the centre of the card. 

Wrap with ribbon around the layers before adding to the base card

Stamp and emboss the sentiment of your choice and cut with the oval to fit the verse

Add to the centre with foam pads

Dress with flowers, dot with glue and sprinkle with glitter.

Adhere the bow and the dazzler to cover the knot.

Christmas Card ...

Hi Everybody,

Have you made a start on your cards yet ....

Although I have been doing some for magazine covers I am ashamed to say that I have made no personal ones as yet

But I think it is time to make a start or I will be late again this year as I usually am.

This one is made with the free gift that came with Creative Stamping 50

Cute little characters to help brighten up your designs and really easy to create different scenes with

Each of them can be dressed in their own sweaters and you can have a lot of fun playing with them

Ruby Update 

Just as an addition to this post I would like to say "Thanks" to all of you who wrote with concern for Ruby.

She is fine now but she must have been in some pain with the wood lodge in her gum.

 I did not throw the stick for her to fetch ... she just picks them up to play with and while she was gnawing on it the splinter went into her gum.

It would not have been picked up in an x-ray as it was on the inside of her mouth and too far into the gum to be seen. But it did cause a lot of infection and there was no way to save the tooth

I am truly happy to say that she is fixed and well again now and back to her sweet self ... a happy playful little dog

Feedback please

Ruby Update

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have not been around for a little while but my mum has been really busy showing you her new collection

And I have to tell you that I have not been well.

You know that I like to play in the woods with my friend Dougal.

Well I also like to chew sticks and one of them splintered and got stuck between my tooth and my gum.

My face was swollen and my mum took me to see Mr. Vet

He said it was very infected right down to the root and I had to have the tooth removed.

 Here I am feeling sorry for my self. But that was a week ago and now I am as right as rain. I was in pain with the wood but now I feel really well again and back to my old tricks.

And just to show you what my mum has been doing here is one of her lovely stepper cards.

She has done this one in gold with all those butterflies and she did this style of card in a video for you to see.

So more from my mum tomorrow and I will be back again soon.

Bye for now ...

Love Ruby xx
