Cherish

26th February 2020 Caroline Cards, Silhouette-Cameo 3

This card is another one from Nic Squirrell via Silhouette, and I made it for a recent wedding!

I love using my Silhouette Cameo – there are so many designs to choose from and you can make them any size you want.

I added some pretty paper underneath, some pearls and rub-ons, and edged the card with brown ink to finish the card off.

Its Christmas again today with the new release by Its Christmas again today with the new release by Sam Poole for Creative Expressions! A different kind of Christmas card with this mitten, combined with Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff! Created the background with Botanical Stains and Pixie Sparkles and then stamped the mitten twice. Coloured with Shimmer Shakers and then fussy cut. Fussy cut the mitten contents and star separately and then attached with 3d foam pads. Made the top of the mitten warm and fuzzy with Lilac Fluffy Stuff and accented the mitten with little dots of the Cream Fluffy Stuff. This is applied and then heated where it expands and dries to give a fluffy effect. . #creativeexpression #creativeexpressionscraft #create #creativity #creative #cards #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #christmascards #Christmas #craft #crafter #crafts #crafting #craftersofinstagram #diycards #handmadecards

I was quite excited to use foil with this stencil I was quite excited to use foil with this stencil as it is a lovely large design and perfect for foiling. I used Gilding Glue through the stencil, which you leave for about 10-15 minutes to dry clear and then it is really sticky. At that point you add the foil and brush the excess away and it sticks quite firmly to the design. I then added a bit of colour around the foiled design with Distress Oxides.

A recent release by @jamierodgerscrafts are these A recent release by @jamierodgerscrafts are these lovely stencils andI used the stencil set Wings of Wonder for this card. This is a set of three stencils and this is the medium stencil. I used Cosmic Shimmer gold glitter paste through the stencil – the card did warp when I did this but was completely flat once dried! The sentiment is a die-cut which I hot foiled. Layered onto patterned paper and then I added some gorgeous gold velvet ribbon and some twine and beads to finish. . #stencilstuff #stencil #stencils #cards #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cosmicshimmer #creativeexpression #creativeexpressionscraft #create #creativity

Gilded Touch is non-toxic and fast drying, so it is safe and easy to use in any crafting, mixed media or home décor project.
