Money & Gift Wallets

Money & Gift Wallets....



Our project for this weeks workshop was to create Money and Gift Wallets perfect for Christmas Vouchers and Gift Cards. 

To make the CD/Gift Sleeve, the ladies cut a template from Kraft Cardstock. They randomly stamped one of Sue Wilson's Stamps To Die For - Poinsettia - using Perfect Medium. Then embossing with Cosmic Shimmer Detail Embossing Powder - Bright Gold (CE-CSDEPGOLD). The Poinsettia's were coloured in using Distress Inks. Once the Inks and embossing powder had dried, the Cardstock was embossed using Creative Expressiosn A4 Embossing Folder - Holly Lattice (CE-EF-057). The ladies then following their templates, cut, scored and folded the card to create the sleeve and before gluing together, added a red bow for decoration. 

The techniques were repeated to create the second and third Money/Gift Wallets, however different card and paper were used. Embellishments were changed accordingly also. 

We hope you like our projects for this week.

Mistletoe....

Mistletoe..... 

This week our ladies created two gorgeous cards - inspired by our recent Demo Day with Julia Watts. 

During our Demo Day last month, Julia Watts used a range of these products to create a variety of different and beautiful Christmas cards, so our cards this week were inspired by the products she used, to create something special of our own. 

The main feature and the Die used to create the cards was Spellbinder's 'Card Creator Mistletoe Card Front'.

This beautiful Die, although is in Spellbinder's Holiday Collection, could be used for an everyday card if adapted where suitable. 

Double sided adhesive sheets were stuck the die-cut front on both cards. The first card was decorated with Mica Powders to create a beautiful metallic background. The second, again, used Mica Powders to make the similar effect - just using different colours. However, to give this card a different look and to give it some 'sparkle' for Christmas, a layer of Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels - 'Iced Snow' was added to the double sided adhesive. Effortlessly creating a stunning effect.  

The ladies embellished each of their cards with Organza Ribbon, that complemented the Mica Powders that had chosen to use to produce their backgrounds. 

We hope you enjoyed our 'Mistletoe' cards for this week.

Flip-out Frame Cards...

This week our ladies made two beautiful 'Flip-out Frame' cards. 

Our ladies cut the cards taking the measurements from a template which you can find below.

The ladies used a range of different coloured and patterned vellum for the 'picture' part of the Frame card. They then embellished the cards with Sue Wilson's 'Stamps to Die for - Shaded Poinsettia' (UMS634), Sue Wilson's 'Festive Collection - Merry Christmas' (CED3026) and Sue Wilson's 'Festive Collection - Snowflakes' (CED3020).

Tags....

Tags....


This week our ladies created something a little different.

The ladies made these Tags using Viva Decor Clear Stamp Sets 'Tags Bicycle' (400312000) and 'Tags Time' (400312300). These stamp sets are perfect for making a beautiful, vintage-looking tag for everyday, however, when paired with the Sue Wilson stamps 'Pinstriped Poinsettias' (UMS576) and 'Elegant Poinsettias' (UMS575), it gives the Tags a unique, Christmas look. 

To give the tags colour, our ladies used a selection of the 'Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers'.

Our ladies then embellished their Tags, added coloured ribbon to the top and their Tags were complete!

We hope you liked our creations for this week. Please keep checking our website for new products!
