Coming tomorrow on Create and Craft TV at 7am UK time. The one day wonder from Amy Dodd - Country Garden


I added over 100 'leaf ' shapes to the dome in 2 colours with different finishes. I embossed the trunk to add texture and because doing this weakens the card stock I reinforced it by adding rolled up card stock of the same colour inside the tube of the trunk. I added liquid pearls to some of the centres. 



I added acetate to the inside of the box, before I did I got my scanncut to draw the pattern filling the design with one of the built in 'fill' options on my machine to add interest. I drew the pattern and only in filled the pattern area so that when you look inside the box it is nice and tidy . 


For this one I used flowers from my stash, adding bright lights to the trellis first then adding the roses. The battery box is sitting inside the gift box.


This original pattern is for a large ornamental strawberry but I put all pieces onto my mat grouped them resized them, ungrouped them , saved them then brought them back onto the mat as needed to cut out resulting in a key ring sized strawberry. to make it more durable I added a couple of layers of mat mod podge matt. 


I added acetate to the inside of the cut outs. cutting the intricate mats in a red glitter card makes this box stand out enough not to need any further embellishment in my opinion.

Launched today on @Create&CraftTV A stunning collection from Sue Baker Presents Snow Quee




The box is from construction board from a Cutting Craftorium USB, I used the rice paper to the top of the box then using the sparkle mediums through one of the stencils I then took a separate piece of card  sprayed it with the cadence mixed media inks stamped it using some of the stamps then die cut using the flower dies. the snowflakes and the word are the mixed media dies made thicker to enable you to die cut construction board. I then painted them using the new cadence metallic paints. I also used the stencils and paints to decorate the sides.




This is a wall hanging from a cutting craftorium USB. I painted with Jesso then sprayed using the mixed media inks. I then using the stencil that comes with the cutting craftorium USB stencilled using the sparkle medium. The flowers were made the same way as previously stated. 



This is a picture frame from a cutting craftorium file I cut the bird cage from construction board, layered it then painted using some of the cadence paint. I then stamped out the owl and cut using the corresponding die. I then cut a black owl and off set it behind the printed one.
