Coming tomorrow on Create&CraftTV at 12.45pm UK time KitnCaboodle clever cutting forms 7&8 a beautiful collection of toppers (with coordinating dies) and backing papers all on a USB




This is an MDF tag, one of the backing papers first with the edges inked. I die cut the toppers and used a combination of double sided tape and a quickie glue pen to add glitters to the edges I then layered them up using foam pads. The topper on one side I completely covered using a glue pad and then added ultra thick embossing powder.



I really enjoyed making these napkin rings, as soon as I saw the shape of the die and topper I knew they would make lovely napkin rings. I die cut the main shapes inking the edges then adding the die cut extras using foam pads. I used a wet glue to close the circle as it holds better under tension. I made a simple box and used the matching backing paper to add a decorative top to the box.


A simple pillow box, the box was from my stash. I scanned it into my scanncut so when   I printed a background paper off I could cut an exact copy out  ink the edges then glue them together, this gave the box extra strength. I added a ribbon and used a matching die cut tag and topper to finish. 



for this one I used the largest heart topper die to die cut 3 plain white pieces to form the card base, I then using the same die die cut a further two from a coordinating backing paper then added the smaller die cut toppers inking edges as I went layering with foam pads especially on the base to use as a stopper for the easel card. 


A simple gate fold card using a coordinating backing paper and toppers. I used my cropadile to punch holes and add the eyelets for the ribbon.



For this double easel I used the largest die in the set with a coordinating backing paper and after measuring the area I needed a mat for I cut them ensuring that the shaped edge of the die overhung the cutting plate so it did not cut out entirely I then turned the background paper round reapplied the die again ensuring that the shaped end overhung the cutting plate so I ended up with a die cut rectangle of the right size rather than a large die cut tag (hope this makes sense).I then used the next size down tag shapes from the topper sheet plus other die cuts either in the backing paper or from the topper sheet to complete the card. I finished off with white flowers from my stash using one of my ink lily alcohol pens to match the middles to the flowers on the topper. 



I used the same process as above to complete this card also. Spraying the card base first with a spray ink.

Coming tomorrow on Create&CraftTV at 6pm UK time the new USB from Cutting Craftorium the Card Makers Calendar


This sample has multiple layers and real depth, the sentiment is one of the files on the USB 



so much involved in this card, I deviated from the file to personalise it, again the sentiment comes on the USB 


I absolutely love this card, the animals can either be drawn as I have done or you can cut the pieces and layer them up. I made a stencil and used a paste for the background instead of just cutting the patterns out and layering.


I again altered the file slightly on this one to add cut out sections to the actual card. 



As the name suggests there is a card for every occasion on the calendar.



Another pretty card, there are again multiple layers which I find really effective and that add real depth.
