Today on Create&CraftTV the new USB from Tattered Lace Luxurious Lace

For this card I cut the mat layer in black and the pattern in white. Once glued together I lay them on the base card deciding on the pattern I wanted, after I had arranged them in a pattern I liked I stuck them down, ensuring that they were at different heights so I used foam pads to add height.  

For this card I used an easel card base with black and white mats, I used my machine to draw the image first in white I added two extra lines to ensure that when I cut the image out it would still have a lovely white drawn frame. I then cut another of the same frame just in black. between these two frames I added an oval of acetate ( I actually added two ovals of acetate for added stability). these were all glued together for the acetate I used pinflair all stick all purpose glue it works really well with acetate. I cut the font (also on the USB) in black and white glued them together offset.I did the roses the same way as the main image. On the card base i added an ornate corner completed in the same way. I finished off by adding black and white dots with liquid pearls. 

With this card I drew the heart file on a black mat layer added a sentiment from an inbuilt font on the scanncut. I then coloured in areas of the heart.

With this card the pattern was drawn first then  cut but left in the card base I added an oval of acetate behind. To the front I got the scanncut to draw one of the extra cut files for this pattern and used the outer cut file to cut it out. I added the oval to the centre myself in canvas to frame the centre pattern. This file also had the individual flowers which I drew then cut. I dded them to the card and finished off the centres and a few on the card base with liquid pearls.

Coming Monday morning at 7am on Create and Craft TV a new USB Christmas Compendium, concentrating on cards and gift bags.


For this card I inked the edge of the main card base adding a mat layer in Kraft card I then cut the bauble files into the red card stock. On the reverse I attached some bright lights first threading them through a hole I made in the card base in the bottom left corner. I attached a thin foam tape to the reverse of the red card, on top of the foam tape I added some photo glue, this gave me wiggle time ensuring I had the top in the correct position. I then embellished the front with extras from the USB finishing off with red crystal drops.

All of the parts to this card are one file on the USB, I embossed the first mat layer with a tattered lace snowflake embossing folder inking over the top to bring out the snowflakes. I used a brown ink to match the colourway of the card. I inked the edges of the window also. The window layer was attached using foam tape. The stockings were edged with white ink to look like stitching and the poinsettias were finished off with crystal drops.

I inked all of the door layers with a brown ink. The wreath is finished with crystal drops and the font on the envelope in the letter box was added on the scanncut. The door knobs are brads added before being glued in place. 


I used a cadence paint to decorate the card base front before cutting multiple pieces of the embellishment files. I offset layered each embellishment to add interest before gluing them in place onto the card base. Finishing off with some crystal drops and a snowflake charm.

The snowflakes and candy canes on this card are in the embellishment folder on the USB everything else is part of the easel card file. I finished off with some crystal drops and a snowflake charm.

Coming tomorrow at 7pm UK time on create and craft TV Treasured toppers a Tattered Lace Dies USB a really versatile and usable USB.

The individual files come with a matting layer already sized to fit perfectly with a small border. I added some stencilled shapes using imagination crafts sparkle paste. The font is drawn and filled o the scanncut. I embellished the clock using the decoupage layers that also come in the file and some liquid pearl drops.

With this card I inked the card base first. the file has been drawn adding two extra lines so that when it cut out I would still have a nice drawn border. I again used the matting layers, so effective.

This is my favourite, I ripped some vellum and a printed paper to add to the matting layers and some tiny pearls to finish.

To me this rose branch called out to be a bookmark. Again the font was drawn and filled on the scanncut.

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.
