The theme is thinking about male cards, so for this one I have gone with a black and white theme.</div>

I started with the background and used a very dirty <a href="http://www.woodware.co.uk/detail_display01.php?ProdID=10606&ProdSKU=10250" target="_blank">Watermark Pad</a> from ClearSnap and a <a href="http://www.woodware.co.uk/detail_display01.php?ProdID=9765&ProdSKU=KD02" target="_blank">Jumbo Dauber</a>.</div>

around the edge a page of black and white from the <a href="http://www.woodware.co.uk/detail_display01.php?ProdID=14351&ProdSKU=8X8011" target="_blank">8 x 8 Tartan Pad</a> and embossed it in silver.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Christmas 'From Our House to Yours' is the title of this weeks</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">blog post. Guess what I've changed</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> my title but it still is one home to another. I think there are many people </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">who have friends and family overseas and so I have used the phrase 'Across the miles'. I have friends over the pond and would happily send this card to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So here is my card</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHcI-vKDLCHG_vWt3fXVeuA566xAJSpLNFXz8PG9nX69bAgHymg8sJ9nH-waBm0aBH1wJXvvVJw_dHQBfJZvTALt4m-CQI-KcyekuuNFhWR55xnT4QYTKVOTZ5PoftqjriTJITvV6n66X/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHcI-vKDLCHG_vWt3fXVeuA566xAJSpLNFXz8PG9nX69bAgHymg8sJ9nH-waBm0aBH1wJXvvVJw_dHQBfJZvTALt4m-CQI-KcyekuuNFhWR55xnT4QYTKVOTZ5PoftqjriTJITvV6n66X/s640/Gill.jpg" width="321" /></a></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is what I used</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 sheet </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">white card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Small piece white card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Piece of Patterned Christmas paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Piece of 'Map' style paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Grey pearl card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Green Holographic Alphabet Stickers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Artemio Snow Village stamps</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stickles Diamond glitter glue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Aquarelle pencils</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Colorbox wicked black ink pad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is how I made the card</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Take the sheet of white card and cut a triangle from the top long edge. Score 2 lines one at 10cm and one at 20cm, fold the card so that it forms a concertina. Using the Christmas patterned paper and cover the front of the card leaving a border of 5mm. With the card folded cut a matt to cover the inside back panel. Again a border of 5mm needs leaving around the edge, attach the 2 Christmas patterned panels to the card. The final panel for the centre panel is cut from a map based paper the 5mm border is appropriate for this piece also.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The House panel is stamped using the Colorbox Wicked black and then very lightly with Aquarelle pencils and then cut down to the size required. Edge this piece with black ink. The next pieces to cut are a matt for the house panel and the 2 top panels for the 'Across the Miles' to on. Cut these from the silver pearl card. Decorate the stamped image with Stickles Diamond Glitter Glue</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Edge the back panel of the houses with the ink pad again. Attach all the pieces to the base card. The final step is to place the alphabet on the card ...... ACROSS THE MILES........</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Halloween means different things to different people, and is represented by different things everything from witches to skeletons and ghosts and ghouls. All things that may go bump in the night. My card this week is on I made a couple of years ago.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The techniques I used were dry embossing for the spider then sanded back, simple stamping for the images. I coloured the Mr Skelton in a soft lead pencil and the colour with Souffle pen and Copic marker. The die was cut from black card, the edges of some panels were distressed. I thought it was quite 'Halloweeny'. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well Autumn is really here the weather has definitely changed, and the temperatures have dropped so I think Autumn has now arrived and with Halloween only a couple of weeks away. This year is certainly going on at a real rate of knots. This week we are looking at falling leaves, I always try to think of something that is not just stamping. So this week I have used the Dutch Doobadoo Autumn leaves, colour powders or you can used ink sprays and a basic card. This week also I haven't used and patterned paper</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The instructions are fairly quick this week so apologises for this but I' m</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">sure you will be able to follow just looking at the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So here is my card</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQd1UBBl_ehjm_Gn6fAKHuBtdZxhgPaG-UuyVXa1jG9SEhmmkJdPE1AU47D-AZ5ca8sg7DFjSAMSPvUUtjmMWWHJVoGt7nlTEs0Nbz2cQ7BMkcyqh930tAiizreLGSx84nQxgTGRdYwapo/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQd1UBBl_ehjm_Gn6fAKHuBtdZxhgPaG-UuyVXa1jG9SEhmmkJdPE1AU47D-AZ5ca8sg7DFjSAMSPvUUtjmMWWHJVoGt7nlTEs0Nbz2cQ7BMkcyqh930tAiizreLGSx84nQxgTGRdYwapo/s1600/Gill.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Things used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Card blank either white or cream, I used some of both throughout the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Jane Gill Music stamp</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Dutch Doobadoo Autumn leaves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Momento Grey ink pad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Spray paints or pixie dust powders</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Distress ink pads in various colours for distressing the tag, edges of the matts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Organza ribbon for bow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is how the card was made</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Take the colour sprays/powders and colour the Autumn leaves laser cut sheet and colour really randomly. Use distress inks to colour the tag and the matt from behind this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">On the matt stamp the music image and repeat to colour the whole piece. Take one of the dark ink pad and go around the matt and also the edge of the tag this will help to make them separate and pop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBlJnknMORnnnBXWHPnKEyHBtS0hSXL18VS3S3O37Ayl8-8B1fCxMzJ-8UKjYweY2s4KzYAadr1ztJPdXzzDA3AHWloH_h-QScI_6kXkhFYwR5yaUb2AII1EtMhrijF6U8NB1jLlq7ne_/s1600/20161014_115434.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBlJnknMORnnnBXWHPnKEyHBtS0hSXL18VS3S3O37Ayl8-8B1fCxMzJ-8UKjYweY2s4KzYAadr1ztJPdXzzDA3AHWloH_h-QScI_6kXkhFYwR5yaUb2AII1EtMhrijF6U8NB1jLlq7ne_/s320/20161014_115434.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Once the Autumn leaves are completely dry decide which ones you want include in you design. Don't forget that you can cut them into smaller pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwzdz0oAn2BLtBlEVKaOwcF-G13tRB-VlhQGVzsd7aNSvbhrqVcsMrVd2ATRpB0zAXOarAKimu7Rol9rdfZ0qzIfpq9ykNMmN6vkTzmrGhHIVDzrp0lIdGgCds2-rYbSkTd0qgHeX9eZq3/s1600/20161014_115442.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwzdz0oAn2BLtBlEVKaOwcF-G13tRB-VlhQGVzsd7aNSvbhrqVcsMrVd2ATRpB0zAXOarAKimu7Rol9rdfZ0qzIfpq9ykNMmN6vkTzmrGhHIVDzrp0lIdGgCds2-rYbSkTd0qgHeX9eZq3/s320/20161014_115442.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I placed my chosen ones on the tag to make sure I was happy with them and then stuck them on to the tag, using only a minimum amount of glue, so that the leaves could be tucked under each other once these at in place. Cut a slightly larger piece of black card for the matt next to the tag this again will make the tag pop. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I also decided that a black matt behind the stamped panel would also add dimension. Finally layer all the pieces together and add the bow to the top of the tag. I didn't tie it into the tag but simply placed it on the top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">There you have it a quick, and I think themed falling leaves is covered.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The week we have a sketch to follow, and I must admit I was struggling, I couldn't think what I was going to do and then as sometimes happens I thought punch some circles, add embellishments on each. The embellishments could also be punched so off I went and found my flower punch, circle punch and I was away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So here is my card</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghvRyUaO235d0Hk6ak4LC4pi1SuECOgsZYRz582lnlgkZH3qL3BygzgR261XY7j9-slW05Du_ieS2iFh2pWCbKUh-9vXFXVeeLxg8RTiuoECr5le8Quv40HkfFK0p6Jtf52Wnyk6l6yCMV/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghvRyUaO235d0Hk6ak4LC4pi1SuECOgsZYRz582lnlgkZH3qL3BygzgR261XY7j9-slW05Du_ieS2iFh2pWCbKUh-9vXFXVeeLxg8RTiuoECr5le8Quv40HkfFK0p6Jtf52Wnyk6l6yCMV/s1600/Gill.jpg" /></a></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">What I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">7 x 7 base card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Circle punch in 2 sizes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Flower punch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Mirri card silver</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Craftwork cards 8 x 8 patterned paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Scrap of patterned paper</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Self adhesive gems for centres of flowers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sentiment stamp</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is how I completed the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 Take a scrap piece of thin white card and punch 9 circles with the smaller punch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 Do the same with a suitable thickness of silver card punching 9 circles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">3 These 2 sizes of circles are then layered together </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Take the flower punch and punch 16 flowers from a patterned paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">5 With 8 of these punched flowers add some dimension by curling the petal in your fingers and then pulling them up to form a cup shape. then layer one flat and one dimensional flower on to each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6 Take the base card and cut 1 matt in silver and 1 in the patterned Craftwork Paper</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">8 With the final white circle stamp the sentiment and then layer with silver and attach to the centre of the card </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">9 Place the remaining circles so that you have 3 rows of 3 circles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">10 In the centres of the flowers add an embellishment of your choice. They could be small buttons, adhesive gems, glitter and glue, stickles glitter glue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">11 Finally I added a bow under the sentiment panel</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is what you will need:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dreamweaver Stencil LL3046 Tall poinsettia</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Silver Embossing Paste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
White card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Burgundy card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Patterned paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dreamweaver Metallic FX powders :- Forestry, Rose Berry, Plum Royale, Amber Gold, Kiwi.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stencil brush</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Palette knife</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Low Tack Tape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Silver Mirri board</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Heat Gun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cleaning products for stencil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And this is how I created the card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Take the Stencil and attached to a piece of white card on all 4 sides apply the silver paste, and remove stencil place in water for cleaning. Take the Dreamweaver Metallic FX powders and using a stencil brush tap the powders over the paste design in the areas you want coloured.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Using a heat gun start to heat the design. I always give a quick blast of heat to the back of the card before concentrating on the front. As the paste is heated it starts to blister and bubble. If large bubble appear I tend to burst them so the there is no danger of them cracking and flaking off when the design is finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ii43ZYM2PPo-_dPJnOWLHBWkyEXTAj-TawQW1fjO0aIODEt98hyphenhyphenKcfMSyiBwawRGr-AKBTSqhRfvJsQp4VLT0jqe2Re0OiUytRZ15gHc41qpCMHArotGGazju57-XQ4ZaZZQYji5mzCO/s1600/DSC01986.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ii43ZYM2PPo-_dPJnOWLHBWkyEXTAj-TawQW1fjO0aIODEt98hyphenhyphenKcfMSyiBwawRGr-AKBTSqhRfvJsQp4VLT0jqe2Re0OiUytRZ15gHc41qpCMHArotGGazju57-XQ4ZaZZQYji5mzCO/s1600/DSC01986.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 Cut all the matts and layers and with the layer of patterned paper cut around the design so that the stencill<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span>ed design will tuck in. Put your card together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 You can add to the card by using ribbon around the spine. I decided that I wanted mine to be clean and simple.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think we have all seen cards that are quite bland and then they have a small area of colour. I hope my card this week fills the theme. As usual the card didn't take over long to make.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 Attach the base layer to the stamped layer and then take the dark green organza ribbon and tie around these 2 matts and tie a bow. These layers can then be attached to the base card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">8 Next the 2 circles are attached together and then matched to the design on the main card and attached to the card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well the seasons come and seasons go and with Autumn fast approaching, the colours seem to be leading to the greens, reds, golds, and oranges and all colours in between. People are staring to think of Harvest festivals and thing like that. So hopefully my card reflects some of this.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So here is this weeks card:-</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">What was used :-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Piece of Kraft card (2 pieces)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">5'' x 7'' Cream base card</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Scrap of cream</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">card</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Jane Gill's Leaf Quilt Patch Work of Leaves</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stazon Black ink pad</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Black Pigma Micron pen 0.3</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Coloured Pencils</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stickles glitter glue pale gold</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Liquid pearls red</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Method</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 Take the scrap of cream card and use the Black Stazon ink pad to stamp the Leaf Quilt.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 Take the scrap of Kraft card and repeat step 1. Once stamped I decided which of the small block on the design I was going to cut out and 3D. This avoids colouring areas that don't need to be coloured.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">3 Use the coloured pencils and colour in the designs required on both the cream and Kraft card. I used orange, brown, yellow, red and 2 different greens. I coloured the green areas first and then blended the other colours. Some areas in the outer border were solid coloured.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everyone struggles from time to time from mental blocks--------What should I do, How can I achieve this, What do I want for my card, What is the theme. These days numerous magazines include sketches to get you the design idea and an idea of what the design looks like. As well as the magazine sketches there are websites and books that deal totally with sketches. This week we have a sketch to follow, the sketch is only an idea and doesn't have to be exactly the same when you complete it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So here is this weeks card</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is what I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">7'' x 7'' cream card blank</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">A4 Sheet of Gold Mirri</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6'' x 12'' piece of very pale patterned paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stickles glitter glue Red</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Distress ink pad mid green</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">15mm Red organza ribbon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Merry Christmas, Christmas topper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Blending tool</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Adhesives</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is the process I used:-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 Cut 4 pieces of the gold mirri. The sizes are 6 1/2'' x 6 1/2'', 3 1/4'' x 5 1/2'', 3/4'' x 5 3/4, and 2'' x 4''.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 Cut from the patterned paper 4 pieces, These pieces are all cut so that there will be a 1/4'' border around them of gold mirri. The sizes are 6 1/4'' x 6 1/4'', 3'' x 5 1/4'', 1/2'' x 5 1/2'' , and 1 3/4'' x 3 3/4''.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">3 Use the bending tool and ink pad and blend around the edge of the front of the card base, and also around all the patterned paper. This will give a distressed edge and definition between layers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think that we have now reached the time of year again where all card maker's are starting to get their heads round the fact that Christmas isn't too far away and cards need to be made.</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> What style will they opt for Traditional or the more contemporary style. Hopefully this week I have covered the theme of Traditional.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The stamp I have used is one of Jane Gills 2016 collection. The card has also used the distress inks and water brush. Also its fairly quick to complete.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">9 For edging the gold mirri card I used a brown alcohol marker and ran this down all the edges.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">10 Go back to the base card and using a blending tool distress the edges that will show when the matts are applied.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">11 Start to layer up the matts, until the stamped piece and with this one use the blending tool and apply the brown ink blending so that h edge is darker than the internal section. Once done apply this to the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">12 The final steps are to make a multi looped bow and stick this to the card and lastly use the stickles glitter glue to add decoration to the corners of the card</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This are the products I used:-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">8 x 8 white card base</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sheet of white card</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">7 x 7 piece of white pearl paper</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6 x 6 piece of patterned paper</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Small scrap of sand patterned paper</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Black micron pen</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Dreamweaver stencil LL329</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stickles crystal glitter glue</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stampendous Sailboat Jumbo Cling Rubber stamp CRS5089</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Selection of Sakura Gelly Roll pens - metallic and glaze</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Mark Richards pearl white clusters</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Mark Richards 5mm Mint gems</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how the card was made:-</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 Take the card base and fold in half to give the 8 x 8 card blank</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 The 12 x 12 sheet is cut into 2 pieces of the right size. 1 piece is 7.5'' x 7.5'' </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the other is 5 1/8'' x 5 1/8''. Put the smaller piece of paper to the side for later. Stick the larger piece of paper centrally to the front of the base card.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">3 The pearl paper is cut to 7 x 7 and this piece can then be attached centrally to the base card.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">4 The 6 x 6 patterned paper is also attached to the base card.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">5 Cut a piece of white card 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and attach centrally to the base card.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6 The next step is the slightly tricky one use one of the left over pieces of the 12 x 12 patterned paper and cut a piece of this 5 1/4'' x 2 5/8''</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">7 Cut a piece exactly the same size from the sand patterned.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">
</span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">8 The blue patterned paper is the stamped with the wave stamp and a blue ink pad. It doesn't matter if some of the images overlap - after all they are waves.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">9 Once step 8 is completely dry match the sand and the wave pieces together and use low tack tape to join them together. This is only needed until the aperture is cut.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">10 Once the pieces are matched cut a 3 1/4 circle from the centre of the piece. Put this piece to one side for later.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">11 The next step is to cut a piece of white card and using low tack tape and the stencil attach to the white card, this is done only until the design has been drawn on the card with the micron pen.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">12 Remove the stencil once drawn and colour in the design with the Gelly roll pens. The colouring medium can be your own choice of course.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">13 Use 2 ink pads on the background to blend the design in to the image panel. The lower portion was done in a light/medium colour and the top portion was done in a blue colour</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">14 The stamped panel is then attached to the base card BUT before it is permanently attached check its position as the aperture. and when all are the right place attach them to the base card.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">15 The next step is to faux stitch around the white pearl edge, the white card, and round the circle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">16 With the self adhesive pearls they are attached to the white pearl layer and are placed 3 along and done on each corner. The next ones are placed on the corners of the 6 x 6 layer and are placed 2 along and down and the next ones are place in the corners of the apertures. Also a strip of the gems is placed on the joins of the aperture panel.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">17 Next to give a little sparkle and texture to the front of the card I used the crystal stickles glitter glue randomly on the stamped waves. I added the white pearl clusters to the top, bottom and side as I thought of the sea foam reaching the shore.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">18 Finally I added a bow to the spine side of the card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello - lots of bling this week - bling, bling, bling all the way. When I'm making cards they usually has some element of bling on them. That glint of sparkle turns plain into something a little more striking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So this week I thought what could I used to give the required effect of lots of bling and 'many gems'. First of all I thought of the Dutch Doobadoo stencil - wavy strips. This would be ideal. Next it was a trip to my craft room and looking for crystal gems. As the design has different sized circles, different sized gems. The perfect gems would be the Mark Richards Crystal Sticker clusters. Once these were found all that was required was the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So here is my card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is what I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Different Mark Richards crystal sticker clusters </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">5mm gold nail heads</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Dutch doobadoo wavy stripes stencils</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">0.1 Black Pigma Micron pen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Grey texture card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">A4 sheet patterned card Base Card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Silver mirri card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stampendous frame dies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Numbers or sentiment stamp</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Black Stickles Glitter glue</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the method for the card:-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 Cut a panel of the grey texture card 2.5 inches by 8 inches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 Attach the stencil to the grey textured card using stencil tape or low tack tape. Still tap this tape on to some fabric to lift some of the sticky from the tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">3 Use the black pen and drawn round all the designs. At this point you can decide of the size of the design. I used 3 of the stripes but you can decide on the depth and length at this point. Ensure that when drawing round the circles you hold the pen upright, this will avoid damaging the pen point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">4 Now the fun starts adding all the gems and nail heads. The crystal clusters are ideal for this card as there are varying sizes of the gems and these are needed for this design. I found the easiest way to use these was to cut small pieces of the clusters and then to cut out the largest gems and leave the largest stone on the backing acetate. Peel the clusters off the backing and snip the gems apart single and apply the gems in a very random order, the larger drawn circles on the panel. The really tiny circles were coloured in with the black pen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">
</span>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">5 Matt this panel on to the matt of black card, leaving a border top and bottom of about 1/4 inch.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6 At this stage again I had a choice either to put a sentiment on the card or to put numbers- this would be ideal for those special birthdays If stamping a sentiment then I would stamp in Black on to white and then cut one of the Stampendous frame dies and a matt of black. Whilst with the numbers I cut the numbers in black, a matt in silver for the numbers to go on and then a larger matt in black.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">7 The end of the construction is almost here and we now need to put all the matts and layers together, add a few dots of black stickles glitter glue.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Classic, elegant, clean and crisp - that is what black and whit designs mean to me. The technique of doodling and zentangling are mostly completed in black and white. My card this weekI have gone back to one of what in the past was an all time favourite .........Peel offs. Instead of the card just being plain I have added to the focal point by doodling in all the areas of the peel off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card for this week</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
This is what I used<br />
<br />
2 sheets of white floral peel offs 4088W<br />
2 sheets of black floral peel offs <br />
8 x 8 black base card<br />
6 x 6 white card<br />
33/4 x 33/4 black card<br />
3 x 3 white card<br />
0.01 Black micron pigma pen<br />
3D foam<br />
Double sided tape<br />
<br />
This is how the card was completed<br />
<br />
1 Take pieces of white and black card and cut to the sizes given in the requirements<br />
<br />
2 Using the black base card and the white peel offs, and place one of the flowers in each corner and in between place groups of 3 leaves. Put this piece to one side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3 With the larger of the white card pieces place one of the black flower peel offs into each corner. Put this piece and the smaller black to one side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLqVDxt0YCUJ5zTAAgdUKOowbA8z4QbGDHgBWtwTvZskveOVfakmqXaDEOgoZ0Sbc-WXk6HqWOtuWTwYDeRNjeyssC8k9Wrzmp4hl7_rl74VkfSjX7tHlRR9EoIX5MxDCHeXzR_UxMv9P_/s1600/20160808_104844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLqVDxt0YCUJ5zTAAgdUKOowbA8z4QbGDHgBWtwTvZskveOVfakmqXaDEOgoZ0Sbc-WXk6HqWOtuWTwYDeRNjeyssC8k9Wrzmp4hl7_rl74VkfSjX7tHlRR9EoIX5MxDCHeXzR_UxMv9P_/s320/20160808_104844.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4 On the smallest white card piece place one of the black flower peel off in the centre.</div>
<div>
Continue with this piece and doodle in each area of the peel off using the black micron pigma.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV4CEDuZuTG1dmKZ6dE9Dj36iYb9srCVODumD0i7T3yewKToGt8DXCt8D2gM6MnaLkBQsMgR-mrghRFaT2D_uSjZx0hJbZ-eaaKfC1Dn1cVLxTXXrNMd7WUFdGR0kji1IFQ_vYs45YfokW/s1600/20160808_104931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV4CEDuZuTG1dmKZ6dE9Dj36iYb9srCVODumD0i7T3yewKToGt8DXCt8D2gM6MnaLkBQsMgR-mrghRFaT2D_uSjZx0hJbZ-eaaKfC1Dn1cVLxTXXrNMd7WUFdGR0kji1IFQ_vYs45YfokW/s320/20160808_104931.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5 The next step is to put the layers together. The large white piece is attached to the base card with double sided tape. The rest of the layers are attached using 3D foam. Instead of putting the last 2 layers on to the card straight I put them on the diagonal to give texture and dimension.</div>
<div>

As quite a few people (including myself) are getting our thinking caps on for Christmas I figured Christmas might be an idea. The card comprises of folding, using the Edging punch, some of the new Stampendous dies. Also as usual I have used pieces of patterned paper from the 'scrapbox'.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is what I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Hougie board and scoring tool</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Circle die or compass cutter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Deluxe Crafty Edger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Scraps of 2 patterned papers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sheet of White card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Small scrap of card (colour doesn't matter as it will be hidden behind the rosette)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Stampendous Fitted Frames Dies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sheet silver mirri card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Ink pad colour of your choice for sentiment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Christmas Sentiments</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Holly die from the Tweets Die set</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This how the card was made:-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 First make the rosette. Cut 2 strips of one of the patterned papers 1 1/2'' wide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 Take the Hougie board and using the cm side score both strips every 1cm. Take time when scoring and score cleanly. Once both pieces have been scored concertina the strips. the next step is to join the 2 pieces together and then join the other 2 ends together. This piece is then stuck to the small scrap of card. It is important to us a strong adhesive. I use a hot glue gun and apply the rosette to the glue on the scrap of card. Keep your hand on the rosette until the glue has the circle held in place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">3 Cut a circle of plain card 11/4'' in diameter. This will go on the top of the rosette for the decoration to go on. In this case the Holly die from the Stampendous Tweets dies. The holly can be cut as many times as you want, and the berries can be either done with red stickles glitter glue or self adhesive</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">' or even with small buttons. This is where the design becomes your own. Add shape and dimension to the leaves by shaping with an embossing tool. As you shape and manipulate the leaves start to place them as you want on the top circle of the rosette. Once all the work has been done with the rosette place to one side ready for a later section.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">4 Then next stage of the card is the border that goes across the card. For this part I used the remainder of the patterned paper used for the rosette, and the Deluxe Crafty Edger. I cut 1 border along the full width of the A4 patterned (this was plenty for the card.) Once this strip has been punched cut a strip of Silver mirri card that is about 3mm wider than the border both top and bottom. These 2 pieces are glued together , a strong PVA glue was used for the sample card. As this piece is completed again put it to one side so that it can completely dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">5 The sentiment panel is next. I chose the sentiment I wanted to used and stamped this on to white card, and using one of the Stampendous die frames. These dies come in pairs and using the smaller of the 2 dies it is placed over the stamped sentiment and cut. The larger of the pair is cut in silver mirri. As before these 2 pieces are layered together. Mine were attached together with double sided tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5d-CxBtRqk0EhPma3Vk7R6u3h2uDe4jJtdOBjZDHMEhcYXy2IdqA4uwPXAcZ_gRhurBLAyYEzhuqBvY_ZxKKEjn7w9q6ClfzoBnw337DQ5R7i1c8EAtqajXV_Tm3aT0L7r7Xmk4nAdxy/s1600/20160803_184330.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5d-CxBtRqk0EhPma3Vk7R6u3h2uDe4jJtdOBjZDHMEhcYXy2IdqA4uwPXAcZ_gRhurBLAyYEzhuqBvY_ZxKKEjn7w9q6ClfzoBnw337DQ5R7i1c8EAtqajXV_Tm3aT0L7r7Xmk4nAdxy/s320/20160803_184330.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6 Put the step above to the side and now cut the 2 main matts, the bottom one is silver mirri and is smaller by 5mm on each side to the base card. The matt on the top of this is a patterned paper which is cut to 5mm smaller on all sides to the silver mirri layer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">7 Time to put the card together, start with the 2 matts cut in step 6. The next step is to attach the mounted punched strip and mirri card across the middle of the card. The rosette with the holly decoration </span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">is placed to the top edge of the strip</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and fractionally over the edge of the based card. Finally the sentiment is applied on to the border strip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">There you have it. It is a fairly quick to make, the time is taken in making, but its worth it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how I made the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take a piece of white card and stamp the rose bowl </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">using a dye based black Versafine ink pad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Using the colouring medium of your choice colour the rose bowl in. I didn't colour all of bowl only the patterned part of the design.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Once the design is coloured in, cover the uncoloured sections of the bowl with glossy accents. I left mine about 1/2 hour and decided I wanted to get on with my card, so I got my heat gun out and started by heating from underneath and again getting impatient I started to heat from the top, I found that the Glossy accents blistered and when the heat gun was removed and the substance had cooled slightly if it was pressed down (carefully) it gave the impression of crackled surface.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 The next step is the Magenta frame. Take the versamark ink pad and cover the whole of one side of the frame with the glue. Move the frame on to a spare piece of paper and scatter the Aged Silver Embossing powder over the frame lift the frame from the paper and place on a flat surface. When using the heat gun to melt the Aged Silver powder start with the heat gun a fair distance from the frame and as it starts to metal lower the heat gun down to complete the embossing process.. I put 2 layers of embossing powder on to the frame. For the 2nd layer I repeated the same process as for the 1st layer</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 Almost finished next take one of the patterned papers and cut a 6'' x 6'' piece and then with the second patterned paper cut a piece 6.5'' x 6.5''</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 Matt and layer all the pieces together. To attach the centre panel and the frame use a strong wet glue to ensure the pieces hold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 Finally place small adhesive gems on the dots in the stamped image.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Take the piece of white card and stamp the relevant sport stamp for your theme. I chose Rugby, so I stamped the shirt and shorts, boots, Rugby posts, Rugby ball and Cup. The images were stamped in irregular pattern using the Versafine ink pad. Once the images have been stamped I then used the pale ink pad to randomly stamp TRY in between the images. Trim this piece down for the top segment of the card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 The sentiment panel is next, this needs cutting before the stamping is done. When the piece is cut the stamp the sentiment Good Luck and to the side of this the rossette is stamped and coloured in. The TRY sentiment is stamped over the Good Luck words. In the centre of the rossette I wrote No 1</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 To highlight the word TRY the letters were coloured with a light grey pen and then small black lines were added to enhance the word.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Once the colouring is the glossy accents is applied over the top of the cup and the centre of the rossette. These panels need to left to completely dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 When the pieces are dry Use a distress ink pad and blending tool and go around all the edges, I didn't do this carefully as this was to give impression of the mud that could be on the field.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 Cut a matt from each of the coloured cards, and layer all of these together with double sided tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 The finished panel is then placed on the A5 blank card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week we are looking at colour blocks, my interpretation of this title you can see below in my card. Also the stamp I have used is a new stamp from the new released from Woodware and should be available in stores from about 6th July. So this week my card is a SNEAK PEEK at one of the latest Woodware Clear Magic Stamps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">FRS342</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Colouring medium of your choice, they do need to be strong colours. (I used alcohol pens)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Piece of hammered white card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">DL card blank</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scraps of red, orange,yellow, blue and green card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Black pigma micron pen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Method </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the card blank and fold, so that the size is DL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 With the Black Versafine ink pad stamp the monster image on to the piece of white hammered card. Whilst waiting for the image to fully dry take the black micron pen and faux stitch around the outer edge of this white panel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Once the ink and the faux is done and dry use the colouring medium of your choice and colour in the monster images in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Use the Glossy Accents to colour in all the eyes, I left mine overnight to make sure the Glossy Accents was really dry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Take a piece of black card and cut a matt with a very narrow border to go behind the image panel. This black will make the image pop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 The scraps of red, yellow, green, orange and blue are cut so that on the finished DL card the colours will be revealed behind the image and appear as blocks of colour.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 Cut another Black mat which covers the entire front of the DL card. The image panel is then placed centrally on this black panel, this in turn is attached to the DL card .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There you have my interpretation of 'colour blocks' as well as a Sneak Peek at one of the new release stamps.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week we have been looking at shabby Chic and distressed cards and are sponsoring the challenge at <a href="http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafty Cardmakers</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the easiest ways to distress is to emboss the card and then use a sanding block to remove the surface, or by roughening the edges with a distressing tool to 'distress' the .edges. I figured the card I have made could be used for many occasions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Francosie Collection Fancy Flower FRS207</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how the card was made</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the 7'' x 7'' Base card and fold in half</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Take one of the pieces of black card and cut 2 smaller pieces of card and next take the second piece of black card and cut a slightly larger square and finally with the small piece of white card cut a square that will leave a border showing on the black larger black square. You will also need to cut 2 strips of one of the black cards</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Before going any further use the corner rounder and round all the corners on all four pieces. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Using one of the embossing folders and the 2 smaller black square and emboss. Use the other folder and the larger black square and emboss.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Use a sanding block and gently rub over the surface of the embossed squares. Then use the distressing tool and run this along the edges to give a rough texture to the edge. The 2 strips are also distressed with the tool along the long edges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 At this point I put the card together as far as I could. The strips are attached top and bottom about 1/8th inch from the edges..Along these strips place the adhesive lace, cut off at the edge of the card. The smaller squares are placed centrally about 1/8th inch from each side, the larger black is attached using either 3D foam or silicone glue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 The final stages are using the white square. Take a black Momento ink pad and stamp the flower image, only ink the flower don't include the stem and leaves.The image should be stamped on the diagonal of the square.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 Its now time to doodle and colour areas of the flower, as you can see in the picture above.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The doodles were not complicated as some of the areas are very tiny. The last thing is to attach the white panel to the central black square, and again I used silicone glue to get dimension.<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There you have the card, to be honest I don't do distressed but I think with this card I managed and enjoyed the process.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This time of year flowers are everywhere. They have so much brightness that is so pleasing. This week I have combined a country photograph (Near Litton Falls, Skipton) with punched flowers. The fold of this card can be either down the spine or the top of the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card for this week .</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFe4HwA4BFE-y-AJw8z7kr2W_5KaAW2RFwjErUKCyDxjxFkyT5AEVRXf866zGfL0qvEJtjP1AI13PpOHZVbQBYZ7hC-1Qt3sELT1Slv-_r8FKTcan9NtFdnp5Ey3t6S4H481Qp1Q1wrTc/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFe4HwA4BFE-y-AJw8z7kr2W_5KaAW2RFwjErUKCyDxjxFkyT5AEVRXf866zGfL0qvEJtjP1AI13PpOHZVbQBYZ7hC-1Qt3sELT1Slv-_r8FKTcan9NtFdnp5Ey3t6S4H481Qp1Q1wrTc/s1600/Gill.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is what I used:-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Base card A4 folded in half</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Piece of pastel patterned paper for the matt inside the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Black Micron pen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Very pale pastel patterned paper for the cherry blossom</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Silver and gold adhesive stones</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Small cherry blossom punch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leonie Em assorted leaf punch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Distress ink pad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">London fog Momento ink pad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Woodware white paper flower</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Liquid pearls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dutch Doobadoo Butterflies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kaliedascope Embossing Powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how I did the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the A4 sheet of card and fold in half to make base card. In the front of the card cut an aperture slightly smaller than the photograph to the right hand side. The size of the aperture depends on your photo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Using the cherry blossom punch punch numerous flowers, I punched approximately 31 . flowers. Using a pokey tool shape the petals on the flowers. I placed the pokey tool down the centre of each petal and nip the petal between your thumb and first finger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 In the centre of each flower I placed an adhesive stone in the centre of each flower in both gold and silver. As an alternative you could use liquid pearls, stickles glitter glue, flower soft and similar things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Around the edge of the card draw a couple of lines - freehand. The lines should wiggle so that the intertwine.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do the same around the outer edge as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Cut a matt for the inside of the card this should be 5mm smaller on 3 sides of this card. and once in place, place the photo in the correct position and attach to card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 Take the flowers and place them so that they flow from the top left hand to the right bottom. The amount can be as many or as few as you as you want, my card had 31 cherry blossom. These are attached to the card using a PVA glue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPwZTNJ7FDdSa-D7MPIxh624lZ11XIHHEZbp8yRk3t-9mCfiaMdDdLkzE_4VUQATvePjrxUAM2l_vSF_B6pQIx5UDP9_roXOU7jpujV3G5SuVGlLQXB-HAXXuXahu4AszHp7bcVMtnoi6A/s1600/20160620_134718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPwZTNJ7FDdSa-D7MPIxh624lZ11XIHHEZbp8yRk3t-9mCfiaMdDdLkzE_4VUQATvePjrxUAM2l_vSF_B6pQIx5UDP9_roXOU7jpujV3G5SuVGlLQXB-HAXXuXahu4AszHp7bcVMtnoi6A/s320/20160620_134718.jpg" width="180" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI4FXxuM8Ks_15XZKC3J52H0fNNEj97WuOgws1jF_KS4zg6mkh7sYjmyi-W96lCb-KLDQrC4pDNk6IxHQdcffeDfyC_ik6ZA4k-4awYLe5S2sinYgrUUkETV6RaPhBxxPgdskrn3-sRwHK/s1600/20160620_134730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI4FXxuM8Ks_15XZKC3J52H0fNNEj97WuOgws1jF_KS4zg6mkh7sYjmyi-W96lCb-KLDQrC4pDNk6IxHQdcffeDfyC_ik6ZA4k-4awYLe5S2sinYgrUUkETV6RaPhBxxPgdskrn3-sRwHK/s320/20160620_134730.jpg" width="180" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Top left hand corner Bottom right hand corner</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I kept the bottom left hand corner empty so that the sentiment could be placed there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 Using the Leonie Em assorted leaf punch punch the leaves out 3 or 4 times. I used a green patterned paper. With this punch a thinner weight of paper is better for punching. Tuck these amongst the flowers, attach these again with PVA glue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 With the Butterflies I used one of the large butterfly and 2 of the smallest butterfly. I first of all coloured the butterflies with a distress ink and then after the butterflies were dry I covered them with a versamark ink pad and then covered this with Kaliedascope Embossing powder, heated it with a heat gun. I attached the butterflies to the flowers and leaves, the large butterfly I placed in the flowers in the top corner and one of the smaller ones on a leaf in the bottom corner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">9 For the sentiment I used a set of clear magic stamps and combined the just for you and with love, These were stamped in Momento London fog on to white card, . This was then matted onto a matt of the same paper as the inside of the card. Around the edge of the white card I did the 2 wiggle lines in black micron pen (the same as base card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4p2rMQ3Z5FHmgvzjhSxAd5FxdD5nIgjgrzOFAmhwvz9KqKsXb8jF12e0dcQl1jn9vAu_mqP865SPvYU3KSgNCpxPU6OV_OrnkOoFBGRuOLs1YBj_XMVI6oorr5qj_pfd7CCffKJ2NaQSR/s1600/20160620_134739.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4p2rMQ3Z5FHmgvzjhSxAd5FxdD5nIgjgrzOFAmhwvz9KqKsXb8jF12e0dcQl1jn9vAu_mqP865SPvYU3KSgNCpxPU6OV_OrnkOoFBGRuOLs1YBj_XMVI6oorr5qj_pfd7CCffKJ2NaQSR/s320/20160620_134739.jpg" width="180" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The final stage was to use a Woodware white paper flower and the colour was applied by just dabbing the distress ink pad and then sprinkled with water. To speed the process I dried this flower with a heat gun. I attached the third butterfly to this flower using liquid pearls.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most people have a favourite pet be it a Cat, Dog or any other animal. They can be protective, firm friends loyal and have their own minds. Years ago my pet was a poodle, he protected not only the family but property and car. Today I have gone for the cat side of the title, and a bit of poetic licence with the rain as my backing strip is raining with hearts, and with using the Stentangle technique I have only used cream black and gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is this weeks card</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOvPnnpXs0uwfDTLVB5epRqNihvVvYI69Pu1P2zjXKTP90czPukF1KGMq7PwUJw9Jb1gC4niRpQ4eHxKDMh9sA9uktmU3Cg7uBzh0vsc1XvWh98_cEmSDuiefodSKJdYWxO63-DFIcn3j3/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOvPnnpXs0uwfDTLVB5epRqNihvVvYI69Pu1P2zjXKTP90czPukF1KGMq7PwUJw9Jb1gC4niRpQ4eHxKDMh9sA9uktmU3Cg7uBzh0vsc1XvWh98_cEmSDuiefodSKJdYWxO63-DFIcn3j3/s1600/Gill.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and this is what I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6'' x 6'' Blank cream linen card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Strip of black paper with 'raining' hearts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cat Stencil LL3020</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Black card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cream hammered paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Double sided tape</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gold liquid pearls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Corner rounder punch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Black micron pigma pen 0.3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how I made the card:-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the piece of black card and cut a square of the this and also a rectangle the size of the cat stencil, use the corner rounder on all corners of the 2 black matts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Take the cream hammer paper and cut 2 pieces the same size, my pieces were approx. 5mm larger than the rectangle of black card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Around the 2 hammer matts use the 0.3 Black micron pigma pen and do faux stitching round the edges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Cut a strip of the black and gold heart paper approx. 2.5cm wide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Take one of the cream faux stitched matts and place the stencil on the centre of the paper to stop the stencil moving whilst the design is drawn use a small piece of low tack tape. The Black pigma micron pen is used to draw the design through the stencil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 Each of the shapes drawn is then decorated with doodles whatever you want dots, squares, lines flowers. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 The various matts and layers are then attached to the base card and finally the liquid pearls are applied in the different corners.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well were has May gone, and we're practically half way through June.The weather will be hopefully be lovely and the good days at the end of May won't be Summer. Time will tell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For myself any day can be a happy day, just to send a card to say Hello or Just a Note....... can make someone smile.This week I have gone for a really minimalistic style. I was looking through a book of card sketches and I saw this one I have used for my card and thought it could be used for many options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card (and its really quick.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7tW1E5OoDeT6PDyHdXmI9dQGd5qn8hIe-hookEQHhCt9Fz1ixee1jQkyP-__QWDqSScsYEJsXQ1BzCXIvd30ppbL3QavJ8_mzgiSrBoWfYu4v8S4F_S_B-EZnmR-F9QHAfC0OZP2_4bW0/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7tW1E5OoDeT6PDyHdXmI9dQGd5qn8hIe-hookEQHhCt9Fz1ixee1jQkyP-__QWDqSScsYEJsXQ1BzCXIvd30ppbL3QavJ8_mzgiSrBoWfYu4v8S4F_S_B-EZnmR-F9QHAfC0OZP2_4bW0/s640/Gill.jpg" width="342" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The things I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the stamps out of the inspiration bags Small Geisha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sakura glaze and souffle pens</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">White DL card blank</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 different blue paper and card and a scrap of white card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Stampendous frame dies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Black Stazon inkpad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Adhesive gems</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is what I did</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Fold DL white card in half.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Cut the patterned paper so that there is a border of about 5mm all around the front panel attach this to the front of the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Cut a rectangle of white card the same width as the patterned paper on the front of the card and 3cm deep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Cut a rectangle of blue card (mine was a textured surface) and cut the same width as the patterned paper and 2.5 cm deep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 On another scrap of white card stamp the little geisha girl and colour this in using the Gelly roll pens............glaze,souffle and sparkle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOloFGqe9lMEE4QKDITgqbaDTB2HYAYmrd4PgdSS5Y3VoVkKwi1BHbDKRd-Qa6De__hVL88R4P7JSfnGfMeUNKZo9KDeUMdFWxFAY_jqJKD7vVZ3rphDJSdf1n5BllI7iYwRLB5L15MDZe/s1600/20160529_094142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOloFGqe9lMEE4QKDITgqbaDTB2HYAYmrd4PgdSS5Y3VoVkKwi1BHbDKRd-Qa6De__hVL88R4P7JSfnGfMeUNKZo9KDeUMdFWxFAY_jqJKD7vVZ3rphDJSdf1n5BllI7iYwRLB5L15MDZe/s640/20160529_094142.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 Once coloured in use the frame dies from Stampendous, use the smaller to cut the stamped design and the cut the larger one in a different blue............mine was a piece of Turquoise pearl card,. Attach these 2 pieces together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 Put the layers of the card together. Finally as my backing paper had flowers on it I applied 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres of all the flowers, and then took 3 x 5mm self adhesive gems and placed these in a row on the blue panel across the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shaker cards have been around for ages and for myself I always think Christmas. Since its time to start with Christmas I decided that my card this week would be Christmas. The shaking elements can be anything that is small for example glitter, flower soft, small punched shapes, sand, confetti etc, the choice really yours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card and what I used</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how the card was made</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the base card and fold in half</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Use the Black Stazon and stamp the 3 trees grouped together on to some very pale patterned paper. Mine was a glitter paper. I coloured the trees with alcohol pens Obviously you can use whatever medium you choose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 The next step is to make the aperture panel for the front of the card. I used a die to cut the aperture with a square die that was slightly bigger than the stamp size. The outer panel needs to have a border of about 2 cm. Cut the piece to the required size. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When this panel has been cut the front needs to be covered, to give more dimension I used some patterned paper and used the paper to cover the bottom edge of the panel hiding the square corners</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Take the acetate and cut this so that is just smaller that the white aperture panel and stick this to the reverse of the aperture piece. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Time to concentrate on the base card. Cut a couple of matts in mirri and another in a plain card. Layer these up on to the base card.. The last piece to placed on the base card is the stamped and coloured image. This needs to be placed centrally on the card .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 The next step is the messy bit (its not really messy) I took the shaker stuff and placed this on to the the middle of the stamped image making sure that it would allow the stuff to move. If you want a deep shaker then 2 layers of 3D foam needs to be attached. Once the foam is in place take the aperture panel and place the 3D foam on to stamped image press the two together. Make sure that the shaker stuff is loose and that it will shake.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hobbies -most of us have one - be it sport, hiking, running, fishing, crafting the list goes on. Woodware have a number of hobby themed stamps and others that feature 'hobby' themes and can be adapted to the relevant hobby theme. However since I have an interest in sewing and embroidery I decided to used one of the hobby themed stamps ........Sewing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The card I have made is quite a basic, easy style which didn't take too long to do, but could also be taken to different level with decoupage and different levels of each of the blocks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is the card.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLEmk3fE0sCUovLrAclN325DOvZJ02Au-lOkNy5wx5r42606GoShIwoDxFRw2InGMgD-iC031YZr68CCFh-LeRgWMKD0pea0IqBz1QGTcVH1_nnp1Ca_aaqz1MqK5vVtpllI2zo-C1hw9n/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLEmk3fE0sCUovLrAclN325DOvZJ02Au-lOkNy5wx5r42606GoShIwoDxFRw2InGMgD-iC031YZr68CCFh-LeRgWMKD0pea0IqBz1QGTcVH1_nnp1Ca_aaqz1MqK5vVtpllI2zo-C1hw9n/s640/Gill.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is what I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A5 Blank card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Piece of smooth white card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper. ( My paper was covered in rows of stitching)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scrap of patterned card stock</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scrap of Holographic mirri board</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Clear Magic Sewing sampler stamp set</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Stazon black ink pad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sakura aqua pencils</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Distress ink pad</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">White ribbon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Glossy accents</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Silicone glue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was the process</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the A5 Folded card and fold the front of the card back to the fold of the card. Use a bone folder and use to get a crisp fold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Using the 12 x 12 patterned paper cover the inside back of card and also the front panel of the card. I didn't leave any borders around the edges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Take the smooth white card and stamp the image with the black Stazon ink pad. Stamp the image twice. as one of the images will be cut into for the decoupage pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 The next step is to colour the full image and also the segments that you want to decoupage. On mine I used the pencils and on the 2 patchwork quilt panels I used one colour and then went over with another to give the idea of texture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Trim the panel back to the stamped outline , this then matted on to a piece of holographic mirri board, and then on to a piece of complimentary patterned card. Before going any further I put the glossy accents on the areas I wanted glazing. I glazed the sewing machine, the thread on the bobbin, the tops of all the pins and the top of the safety pin. Whilst this is drying go to step 6.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 The final thing I placed a piece of ribbon on the outer edge of the back of the card. Then take a number of pieces of ribbon and tie these round ribbon going down the back of the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There you have it .I think that this stamp would look good with the sewing machine, the sewing needle and maybe the pincushion panel all cut out as squares and then 3D with foam give a different dimension. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Time goes on and this week the theme is ' Boys will be boys', so this week with a little bit of poetic license my card has guitar, music, boots, - covering something that almost all young males (and some older ones) considering the music side of things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is my card</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is what I used:-</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Stamp the images on to the panels. I used Black Stazon as I was going to use the Colouring brush pens</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Once step 4 is completed I used the Colouring Brush pens to colour all the images (you could use the colouring medium of your choice ).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 Take the black ink pad and go around all the edges of all the white panels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Put the panels on to the card base. Take the panels and glossy accents and cover the headphones, guitar, soles of the boots the circle panels on the side of the boots, and alternate letters of the word. Make sure the glossy accents is completely dry before going to the next step.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 To stop the main panel from looking a bit stark I used one of the colouring brush pens and randomly did groups of 3 dots to break the white surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">9 Use the pen to do faux stitching around all the stamped panels</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There you have this weeks card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi! Well here we are another week on and this week we have been looking at Apertures and punches. It really is an open book for ideas, there are so many different designs and styles of punches, and really the were the fore runners to dies that everyone uses today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My card this week my card uses 4 punches, one is a border punch which again can be used in different way for different effects, one is a punch that embosses as well as cutting and the rest are regular punches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is my card</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUUx_Cn1qoGEbpZ6Zgg17riZyRRYzO8H-rynFjmf9X9LX_qzQ-eAvyAXzeNb76ZjrvO3pKJkX8QXfyPSUMmidqbwpKeSHd0bEkdfkDmeOnnv5flfj2dQYZrBQYzptTRUDs9kCLu7GiriW/s1600/Gill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiUUx_Cn1qoGEbpZ6Zgg17riZyRRYzO8H-rynFjmf9X9LX_qzQ-eAvyAXzeNb76ZjrvO3pKJkX8QXfyPSUMmidqbwpKeSHd0bEkdfkDmeOnnv5flfj2dQYZrBQYzptTRUDs9kCLu7GiriW/s640/Gill.jpg" width="523" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is what I used</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 x 6 black card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 co-ordinating patterned papers and one different (for the leaves )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Small gold adhesive gems</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The following punches.......regular cherry flower punch, Fairy Niobe petals, floral punch art fern leaves and cross star lever border punch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Adhesives - wet PVA glue</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Compass cutter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This the the way I made the card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 Take the base card and fold in half open up and using the compose cutter I cut a 7.5cm circle just off centre so that the border can be placed down the folded edge. Keep the circle cut from the card as this is used later on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Using one of the co-ordinating papers cut a panel to fit the inside of the card leave a 5mm border all around the side, attach the panel to the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Use the same paper and cut a strip of the same paper and cut a piece about 4cm wide and use the border punch and punch down both sides this will give the folded edge a decoration</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 The next step is to punch the remaining pieces, so using the 2 remaining co-ordinating papers </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">punch 2 of the Fairy niobe in one of them and 9 of the regular cherry blossom, and finally 3 of the fern punch in the different paper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 The 2 fairy niobe petals I curled each of the petals around a pencil one with the patterned side up and the other patterned side down. This gives the movement in the flower. When this has been done stick the 2 petals together and place the finished flower in the centre of the circle (cut from the front of the card ). This can be now attached to the base card, match the circle to the aperture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6 Place a number of small gold gems in the centre of the fairy niobe flower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7 For the small flowers to give them shape I nipped the end of each petal and the embossed the centre of the flower, the flowers take on the shape you have given to them.</span><br />
