Flippin' Men - Fishing

This is just 1 in a series of 20 Flippin' Men by La Pashe.
I love the way this one makes up all chunky pieces to cut out, I used one of aperture cards which were designed to compliment the Flippin' Men sheets and covered it with basic grey papers.

Cuttlebug Butterfly Card - Crushed Glass Glitter


Using the cuttlebug i cut out the butterfly and embossed the with the matching folder I then cut out a second butterfly from acetate and using the glossy accents and the diamond dust crushed glass glitter made this one nice and sparkly before attaching the two together.
I cut out 2 sizes of the label 1 nestabilities dies and wrapped and tied a ribbon around the smaller die, then layered the two together with foam pads.


I did stamped the words New Beginnings on the top label.
The base card was a pre-embossed square card that I found in my craft stash all I did was round off the corners.

Twinklets Crushed Glass Glitter

I made up a snowflake from a cuttlebug die and some craft punch shapes then added ranger glossy accents to the shapes and dropped them into the glitter and left them to dry while I made up one of Claire's 3 Kings shapes (Found here) it is sort of a flat bottomed cracker and when made up you can add goodies inside it.
I intend making a few for the Christmas table and adding gifts inside.


A close up view of crushed glass glitter on the snowflake layers.
I think this will be my favorite product for a long time to come.





I also tried the glitter out on some flower shapes


An even closer view

Prisma Pencil Lily's

Lily's coloured with Prisma Pencils, I stamped the ellusive images lily's with white stazon inl onto smooth black card.
I then coloured the image with Prisma pencils and blended the pencil marks with a Paper Stump and baby oil, I prefer this to Gamsol or Sansoder.
I used Nestibilities labels to create the shape of the card and to cut out the image, I used ink essential white pen to make the faux sewing border.

Friend Card

Made by stamping Spiral Bouquet blossoms onto the white base card with a wine coloured ink and using the same ink I distressed a piece of patterned card stock and layered a contrasting striped card on top.
I used an acrylic chip and glued this to pattern card then stamped bloom in Palette ink and tied the chip to the card with a wine coloured ribbon.
Added a couple of pearls and a couple of punched out blossoms to finish.
