Blog Posts, tutorials only

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well, and haven't had too much of the white stuff wherever you are!

Just a super speedy post to let you know that I am really busy with samples etc at the moment and hopefully a workshop date SO, I will only be using this blog for in depth tutorials over next few weeks.

I will instead be using my Facebook page (badge / link opposite) and Pinterest to post new work and lots of photos, so please pop in to those two sites for more frequent updates.

Sorry but the blog is taking too much time at the moment and I have to be clever about this so I can keep doing the important creative stuff!

Zodiac Samples for Crafters Companion - Gemini and Cancer - altered notebook and some foiling

Morning readers, hope you're all glad its the weekend.  Sharing two more Zodiac projects for Crafters companion using the Zodiac dies.

Ruling Planet is the moon, and element is water and since Cancerians like heartfelt gifts like memory books etc I altered a notebook


For this card I used the following supplies:
Gemini Elements Zodiac Die - Cancer
Moon made with a circle die, which i cut twice and using glitter card
'Waves' shape made with Sara Signature Graceful Swirls Metal Die
Burlap / Hessian from Stash
Various memento inks used to colour the crab
Papers from Crafters Companion Download inspiration
July 2015 - Sea Breeze




Next is a foiled card - first time using the cerise foil and this definitely a feminine card for a Gemini girly birthday!


for this card, I used the following supplies:
Gemini Elements Zodiac Die - Gemini
Gemini Foil Press, Happy Birthday Foil Stamp Die
Royal Damask Foil Stamp Die Plate (the positive and negative foiling is done here) Cerise Papercraft Foil
Glitter Card and Dotty Ribbon
Picked raspberry Distress Ink



It still amazes me how crisp and clean the foiling is with the Gemini FoilPress, and I hope I have taken enough photos to show you just HOW gorgeous it is..




Right that's it for today, I will be back with more before the end of January, and some luscious embossing folders are up next....
