Snowflakes and Cuttlebug Card

Punched and Cuttlebugged snowflake card.

I started with a blue base card then cut another piece of white card to the same measurements as the front of the card and worked on this, I punched out the snowflakes along the top, this is a little punch I found made by EK Success, isn't it wonderful?

I then scored 2 lines to house the ribbon that I wrapped around and tied into a bow, then underneath the scored lines I used the cuttlebug snowflake A2 folder and embossed the card..

I used the round nestabilities and cut one plain white circle and one blue scalloped circle and stamped the star onto the the white one.

I layered it all together added a couple of pearls, some stickles diamond glitter glue and a pretty blue ribbon.

The base of the white overlay card was embossed with the A2 snowflake cuttlebug folder then I added some stickles diamond glue to some of the snowflakes.

I wanted to show you a close up picture of what the EK snowflake punch does, you can see on this how the center stays flat to the card but you can lift the outer edges to make the snowflake pop.

Shapeabilities Pendant Fleur De Li's

White on Gold...

This is the new line of Shapeabilities by Spellbinders this one is Fleur De Li's so good I cut it out twice and used the tan mat to emboss it.

The base card is 14 x 14cm then I matted and layered with the gold and white card graduating the sizes. I then built up the die shapes with foam pads to make the shape pop.

A close up view of the pendant.

Attention to detail; the corners are made up with some of the cut out shapes that fall out of the pendant after die cutting and a flat backed gold gem.

Sympathy Thank You Cards

I made a few Thank You's for my Aunt to give out to those that helped in the care and those that have been kind whilst Uncle Billy was still with us, also a few to go out for the arrangements of the funeral.

I kept them simple by using the Flourish sympathy stamp by Papertrey Ink and wording from Everyday Blessings Papertrey Ink, I used the Nestabilities Label Four for the matting of the words, the insert was printed with the wording Heartfelt Thanks.

I thought the simple wording was quite apt.

Flippin' Christmas - Coming Soon

I just can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be releasing the new Flippin' Christmas Range of decoupage, not only do you get a decoupage sheet but you also get a FREE! yes I did say FREE! backing sheet.

Now when I say backing sheet I it has to be said tongue in cheek because quite honestly this is a piece of art in itself the attention to detail is amazing and as an extra bonus you get a verse too.

Methinks we at La Pashe are just spoiling you.

Below is one of the background sheets I thought I'd let you have a peek.

There are 4 new designs that will be released next week

This is the Flippin'Christmas Peace

One of our Office Staff; Michael Reay asked if he could make up one of the cards, seeing as Michael has never made a card before I was intrigued to see how he would get on.

I think he did fabulous and it just goes to show that even the newest crafter can make a stunning card with our range.

Nestabilities Penguin

Get out those Nestabilities girls and give these a whirl, or better still see what animal you can make, we've had the owls, this time it is penguins, made with Nestabilities ovals, quite a nice little stocking filler.

Another variation of the penguin made with the smaller ovals
