To A Special Friend

I hope you took advantage of my Thank you Gift yesterday. If you missed it take a look at the post I blogged yesterday,it's still available. The project today uses elements from a few of the Craftascope Collections, showing how well they go together  and how to get more out of them. Hopefully I will have time to sort out a 'Back to Basics video to show the ATC Card and Envelope Die Set, as I have had a few questions about how to elongate it and use it in other ways. I have added the Hochanda show which does show it, but I can go into it in a little more detail for you.

You Will Need:
6 3/4 X 6 3/4'' White Stamping Card
Blue card cut with the Dies (Die 1 Layering), (Die 6 Nesting).
White Centura Pearl Cut With (Die 2 Nesting), (Die 5 Nesting), (Die 5 Layering) and a thicker frame cut with Dies 6 & 8.
Navy Blue and White Foamiran
4 1/2 x 4 1/2'' cut with the ATC Trellis Die
Trimmings of your choice.

Step 1: Use PVA to secure your white card to the base card.

Step 2: Cut your dies as detailed in the shopping list above.

Step 3: Cut your trellis die, you will need to rotate them to remove the cartouche as shown on the show, cut it 4 times. You can make this as large as you want for other cards and projects.

Step 4: Arrange and secure your layers as shown for the center, I would recommend foam tape or 3D glue gel

Step 5: Cut a selection of the clematis flowers using the die.


Step 6: Twist them gently but firmly and leave for a few minutes.

Step 7: Gently unwind leaving the shape you have achieved.

Step 8: Secure your card with 3D glue gel and add centres if you would like to. Stamp a sentiment onto white card and edge with blue ink, layer onto coordinating blue card and mount onto your card.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have found the tutorial useful to show how well the collections go together to give totally different looks. Don't forget to use the 20% discount code I offered yesterday, it's still valid for a little while yet, if you would like to take advantage of it (THANKS20). Until next time, Take care and Happy Crafting.xx
