Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all having a lovely start to the weekend,  nothing much happening here, we may go to a garden centre if the weather is decent, those places are no fun in the rain. 

Sue has kindly written us a Magazine Review so lets have a look .....

Simply Cards & Papercraft Issue 242

Simply cards & papercraft issue 242 has a flower foam set this month with foam, ball shaping tool, floral stencils and sentiment stamps.

This article has some lovely cards and clear instructions on how to make the flowers. The Congratulations floating flowers card is one I love and will be making.  Here are several different gift boxes, including the beautiful wedding cake, all decorated with the foam flowers. Templates for them can be downloaded.

The Masterclass is on Faux-layered die-cuts this month. This can as simple as slightly offsetting one die cut behind another identical one. Cutting pieces out of a die-cut and replacing it with a different shade or colour is another example. It certainly helps us to get more out of our dies.

In-depth guide is for to Pendant photo cards this month. 

This is a gorgeous idea for showing off the newest member of the family, the bride and groom, your pets, or anything that is asking to be shared. The guide shows how it is easy to make this photo card.

Using the foam flowers as the focal point on your cards is shown here. Some of the digital papers and toppers are also used. 

These quilled flowers look so pretty. The pieces of paper are not rolled up but by following a template and standing up the paper pieces on their sides after they have been cut to the correct length. I haven’t tried this type of quilling but will be as I love the look. 

As always let me know if you have any questions. 

Take care.

Thank you so much Sue for another amazing review,  there are some stunning cards in thise features , the colours of the flowers are beautiful,  just what we all need to see right now.

I have to say that Card Making & Papercraft magazine have really upped their game as far as gifts and content is concerned and it gives the bigger more expensive magazines a run for their money!  As always I truly appreciate the time abd effort you put into writing the review XXX
