Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

Its a lovely bright morning although there are some rather large dark clouds around, boy did we have a windy night!  

We have an early start to our day as we have to take Becca & Adam to Gatwick they need to be there before 9am ! 

Diecutting Essentials issue 101

A Hunkydory Moonstone Striplet style die with a Border die is what makes up the free gift for this issue 

Thus first feature shares some lovely inspiration,  I really like some of the different card folds that have been used.

Take some white card and Distress inks and create yourself some beautifully coloured flowers that you can make to match your project. 

Back to Basics: 

Trying something different with your Circle dies, to create some funky designs, great for mens cards. 

Some ideas for using up the waste from die-cutting, or for using up your bit box.  Basically cutting the card pieces into tiny strips to create a pattern.  I must admit I wouldn't have thought about embossing the scrap pieces after arranging them. 

Some more inspiration for the free dies, this time we have some gift wrapping ideas too.

This feature shares some different ways of creating Shaker cards. 

Finally some more inspiration for your free dies, using different ideas like using die cut as a stencil etc. 

All in a there are some good techniques in this months magazine,  I'm not sure that I will use the free die though, it's very similar to striplets by SW which I have but don't really think to use anymore! 

I hope the review gives you some inspiration! 

This is Lucy's Welcome Home Banner that she made on Scan & cut for Flynn, I love how she added the Anchors to give it a personal touch. 

Ladies I hope the sun is shining on you wherever you are today, I hope you have an amazing day 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra                                                                    xxxxxx
