Tonic Studios Trellis Die

It's easy to get hooked on all the lovely dies available on the market right now, and there are more and more to choose from every month too, for just about every theme you can think of . This card is a mixture of embossing, Cheery Lynn and Tonic Studios Dies and punched flowers.

The great thing about dies over punches is that they will outlive punches which eventually wear and could break, plus the fact that you can cut thicker materials with dies, like heavy weight card, chipboard, foam and fabric.

The tonic die used is called Pick of the Bunch Trellis Wall Die.

the flowers are from old EK success daisy punches, and if you like the shape, its difficult to source the punches, so go for the spellbinders dies or the woodware punches instead

My all time favorite technqiue - partial embossing using a recent edition Papermania folder:

Kaisercraft and Flourishes Butterfly Stamps

Hi everyone, posting a simply stamped and layered butterfly card from this month's workshops.  After lots of requests, I am adding photos and links to the products I used this month and last month on these two cards.

  

This month was another simply stamped card with lots of butterflies, dimension and a touch of sparkle and colour.

The inside of the card with a little less decoration so there is room to write a message:

These are the products for both cards:

Flourishes Butterflies and Blossoms - click on the photo for link to where you can purchase and the product details - you might see some other sets which are familiar - I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stamp range!

Kaisercraft Bonjour stamp range - fabulous for making / decorating your own backing papers too..

That's all for today. will be back with more tomorrow.

PS please check my workshop page (along top of blog under the large heading is a list of pages), where you will find details of my next Enniscorthy workshop and my craft clearout sale on 24th August.
