Morning my Wonderful Friends and Crafters

Morning to all of my Wonderful Friends and Crafters. I have a full day of rest ahead of me at last today. Not that I haven't totally enjoyed every minute of it, all of the orders are checked, packed and either already received or in the hands of the Post office, winging their way to you. I really cant wait to see what you all make with them, I really want you all to have fun. Here is the first Hochanda Show with Charlie, I wanted to add it for you, so it is still available after rewind has gone.

I really want to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for the support, trust and faith you have put in me. Without you buying the collections and giving me your support, I wouldn't be able to invest in bringing more Different and Unique products to you. You all know by now, the time and effort I put into my range and the quality I supply. If you do have the time I would really appreciate some feedback once the Feefo mails come your way for the products you have bought.

As I said on the show, every range I bring out will form a wonderful Library of amazing tools to create a range of projects to suit any person or occasion, everything from ATC's, Card Making, Journalling and Scrapbooking. Absolutely anything you would like to create. My Design team and I will be sharing inspiration over time, so please keep checking back for ideas.

I do have some of the items available on my Etsy Shop, for those of you who would like them, There is a link at the top of my Blog Page.

My next 2 collections will be arriving next week, so we will all have plenty of time to create for the next shows on Hochanda. These will be very special and so I hope you will be looking forward to adding to your collections as well. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

Christmas Rose

Morning Everyone, I thought I would share a little frame card with you today. It's a card I made for the launch of the  wonderful 3D Embossing Folders from Crafters Companion. I love these folders, the detail, depth and dimension is super, I have said it so many times, they are such beautiful designs, so I like to show them off as simply as possible.

You will need:

Christmas Rose 3D Embossing Folder

Spectrum Noir Metallic Pencils

Black Card

Textures Embossing Folder 'Bark'

Centura Pearl Ivory Card Base 7 1/2 x 6 1/2

Pebeo Gilding Wax  (A selection)

Collall Tacky Glue

3D Glue Gel

Foam Pads or Foam Tape

Step 1: Emboss your black card 5 x 7''. Colour with the metallic pencils.

Ste 2: Cut a frame 6 1/2 x 7 1/4, the inside measures 6 x 5''. Emboss this with the textures Bark folder. Bring out the texture with a selection of Gilding waxes.

Step 3: Mount the frame onto your project with either foam tape or foam pads, then mount onto your base card.

Step 4: Use some scrap card to emboss a few more flowers, colour and shape them. Position and secure them to your frame using 3D Glue gel.

Here is the finished card:
