Messing with Masks - part 2


This card continues the masks theme. Although my terrible photography does not show it, the glittered background is made using the Dragonfly mask.


To make, take your card blank and matt and layer two coordinating sheets of patterned paper.

Cut a double sided adhesive sheet to fit 6x6 inches and peel off the cover from one side.
Lay your mask over the sheet and pour over the green glitter. Tap off the excess.
Remove the mask from the sheet to reveal the dragonflies.

Top tip - rub some soap on the back of your mask before you lay it on the adhesive sheet to stop it sticking permanently.

Pour over the pink glitter to fill in the dragonflies and tap off the excess. Matt onto some pink patterned card.

Stamp your sentiment (from the Just Rite Forever Friends set)


and die cut it with the coordinating Spellbinders Ribbon Tag


 While the card is still in the die, blend some ink around the edges. Thread through the plum ribbon


Die cut one of the Spellbinders Labels Fourteen

from patterned paper. On pink patterned paper, draw around the outside edge of your die. Cut out by hand to create a "faux nestie".

Matt and layer onto your glittered back ground using the Cosmic Shimmer clear glue to give a strong hold.
Layer your sentiment and ribbon on top, wrapping the ribbon behind your glittered background.
Die cut some leaves from the Spellbinders Foliage set




 and use to embellish the sentiment with the Crimson Cloud paper roses.

Die cut two Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares


from green cardstock. Cut each square into four and tape behind your glittered topper to create an ornate border.

Matt and layer onto your card using foam pads to give dimension.

Handbags Galore!


We are sponsoring the “Allsorts” blog challenge this week - the theme is “Paper Piecing” and is the inspiration behind this project.



Handbags Galore, every girlie girl's dream. Except this time it is the range of Creative Expressions stamps and sentiments we have used to create this very cute card, resisting of course the instinct for pink!


The Foundations paper range ‘dots and stripes’ also helped not to overdose on the girly part.

Spellbinders Nestabilities Twisted Metal Tags and Accents create some interest in the corners. 



Along with the Spellbinders Heart Squares providing the layers as background for the purses. 


We also used the Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio

to stamp the sentiment and tied with the beautiful Creative Expression Wrinked Edge Ribbon in white:


For the finale we used our own Crimson Cloud Black Roses


Good luck and remember we would love to see and comment on your interpretations.
