Wax Seal Shapes On Cards

Hi Everybody,

Many years ago I did some Air Dry Clay modelling and made loads of things for home décor. 

I bought some decorative molds to use with the clay and I enjoyed playing with them. But they have now sat in a cupboard for quite some time and never ben used.

So I thought it may be a good idea to see if they could be used with the wax melts beads that I have got and the answer is YES !!! they do.

I  used the Angel Wings mold and I was very pleased with the result. And I thought of lots of ways in which I could use them on my cards.

They make a beautiful addition to a new baby card as they are surely angels come back to earth.

I made some in pink and even more in a blue for a baby boy.

You can of course make them any colour you would like, and the silicone mold is so cheap to buy. It will last you for ever.

I did get some molds at the time that would make little picture frames and corners that could be added to a card but I have yet to find them.

They are in a tin somewhere ... I just don't know where ... yet !!

I also thought that the wings could be used to effect on a sympathy card and I kept the colours very muted for this one.

It is a DL card and I have embossed the background then matted and layered the white and navy blue togehter.

I know we don't like to make sympathy cards but at least this one is pretty as well as practical.

More Butterfly Ideas

Hi Everybody,

Here are some more ideas for using the beautiful Butterfly Blossoms Collection.

This is such an easy and enjoyable way to make quick cards and is perfect for those that are new to card making.

The papers in the pack are gorgeous and many of them have the addition of foiling to them.

Plus there is a great selection of sentiments, toppers and ribbon strips for you to decorate your creations anyway you would like. 

There are also separate sentiment strips that are self adhesive and they can be used on any of your cards and not just with this paper pack>

You have lots of choice with this collection to make bright and cheerful projects that will not disappoint you.

Use the shapes to create Easel or Shaker cards or simply add them to your designs.

And don't be afraid to cut them up and use portions of each butterfly for another look.

And they can be adapted to suit different sized cards too.

For this one I have added the shape and a filigree overlay to an A5 card that I have used in Landscape.

But whatever you decide to do with the collection the main thing is to have fun.

Charity Box ...

 Hi Everybody,

I have been creating cards and adding wax seals to them and these are now ready for my charity box. 

All of these are now in cellophane packets and complete with envelope ready to go.

I know the lady in the shop will pleased with all of these and I now have over a hundred to take to her. 

Not all with seals on them I hasten to add.

This butterfly card seal is made for a Birthday.

These are some that were very easy to create and I used up many left over die cuts that are on my desk.

So I had a good clean up in the process.

This card seal says Made With Love

I have now bought another burner ready to do my next creation and I will explain all that I have learned in the next video.

I hope that you will join me for that and it will be with you in a day or two.

For the yellow one I added it to an embossed panel with some die cut flower and leaves underneath.

I dotted it with sequins and the seal says Thank You.

These photos are of the easy ones that I made and I have some more elaborate ones to show you too.

More tomorrow ...
