Share It Sunday – All About Autumn

Thank you for joining us for our Sunday blog hop (of course in Australia this goes live at 1:00am Monday morning, but it is a great start to the working week when we wake up!) There is no theme for this hop, it is for each of us to choose what project we want to share.

I needed a sympathy card and I have been wanting to try make a card using the fractured card technique. I got the All About Autumn DSP last week and decided that would work well for these cards. However, the DSP is beautiful and doesn’t need to be for sympathy cards.

I made a second version using two different pieces of the DSP.

You can watch the Facebook live replay below which shows you how to make both versions of this fun card.

Hop around and see what everyone else has been up to this week

Share it Sunday Blog Hop – Abundant Beauty Masks

Thank you for joining us for our Sunday blog hop (of course in Australia this goes live at 1:00am Monday morning, but it is a great start to the working week when we wake up!) There is no theme for this hop, it is for each of us to choose what project we want to share.

I have received my pre-order of stuff from the September – December mini catalogue, and of course I NEED to play with my new toys. There is so much to love in this catalogue. One of my favourites is the Abundant Beauty Masks.

These are super easy to use and create the most beautiful cards! Although my initial thought was sunflowers, you can change the colours and they can be anything. Watch my video below for the replay of my Facebook live where I make this card and show you how easy it is to use the masks.

Here are some different colour options of the same card

Technique Tuesday

Thank you for joining us for our Technique Tuesday blog hop. The technique that we are sharing this month is masking. I have used the Two Tone Flora Dies to make my own mask. I also got two cards for one amount of effort.

Use the die cut as a mask and apply colour with your blending brushes.

Then use the piece that you are using as a mask to make a second card

If you want to see how I made these cards, join me foe my Facebook live at 10:00 on Sunday morning (12 February). You can find my Facebook page here.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop – Fragrant Flowers

Thank you for joining us for our Technique Tuesday blog hop. The technique that we are sharing this month is embossing. Heat embossing is one of my favourite techniques. It doesn’t matter how many time I have seen it, I still enjoy seeing the embossing powder melt! For me, heat embossing is an easy way to add some WOW! to a card.

Most of the products in this card are from the new January – April 2023 mini catalogue. You will be able to order them from tomorrow. These are some items that you may want to add to your wish list.
The flowers are stamped (embossed) and die cut using the Fragrant Flowers bundle. The DSP is the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP from the Delicate Desert suite. The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked stamp set and is embossed onto vellum.

A strip if DSP on the insert gives the finishing touch.

Below is the complete link list. Be sure to visit all the blogs to see what everyone has done with embossing
