It's in the bag!

Well todays project is something a little different.  I recently attended a class with Bev Mizen in Bristol and we made bags!  This is a great project to give with a small gift in or even instead of an envelope.

As promised, I have changed my colour to green! 

 

For this project we used:

Creative Expressions stick pins
XCut A4 die set gift bag
Cardstock - Cream Centura Pearl & Foundations Coconut White
Seam Binding coloured with Basil Colour Cloud
Dies by Sue Wilson Perfect Peony flowers & Petite Vinery

Take care

A Bit of Colour Cloud

Today I got to play with some colour cloud and one of the new dies by Sue Wilson.  I have a lot of fun doing this one and was surprised at how well the colour came out. I cannot remember what the technique is called but dare say it will come back to me in the middle of the night!!!

This was all white cardstock that I coloured myself, so was quite simple to do and could easily be replicated in any colour way you like.

I used:

Colour Cloud - chic aubergine

Colour Cloud - lilac whisper

Colour Cloud - violet haze

Dies by Sue Wilson - Pierced Squares

Dies by Sue Wilson - Australian Collection - Sydney

White self adhesive pearls

Until next time

Workshop with John Lockwood

I thought it would be nice to include some of the cards I have made earlier in the year at some workshops.  Back in October I attended a class with John Lockwood which was hosted by the Crafting for Pleasure group in Bristol, run by Bev Mizen and I had a fantastic day.

These are the cards we made on that day.

For this card we used:

• Sue Wilson Classic Poinsettia die
• Colour cloud - basil leaf, lemon meringue and frosty jade
• CE Double sided adhesive sheets
• Sue Wilson pierced squares
• Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Snow (I think!)
• Blue white American Seam Binding coloured with Colour Cloud basil leaf
• Pearls

We then went on to make another card - it was great to not be doing another Christmas card!!

 

For this card we used:

 

• Sue Wilson Pierced Squares
• Sue Wilson Heraldic Square
• Sue Wilson Charming Lace Trim Configuration Die
• Sue Wilson Foldover Flower Diagonal
• Cardstock - coconut white, peach and white
• Embossing folder - can't remember which one!
• Sue Wilson Stamps to Die For - Regal Blossom inner & outer stamp
• White felt & black twine

I had a lot of fun making this card but I did find it had a lot of different elements which took me quite a while to put together.  Here are a couple of close ups to show more of the detail.

 

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed sharing the cards I have done so far - I know I have enjoyed doing them!

 

 

Until next time
