Happy Big Bold Words

Afternoon,

Just got back from a nice walk around the aerodrome, it is so lovely to see a bit of sunshine. 

Gwen is due back on the TV at 5.15, so here are the last of my samples using the Big Bold Word dies from Sue Wilson.

I love this HAPPY one, it is so useful and comes with several little words 

which means that it can be used for pretty much any occasion including Birthday, Christmas and Anniversary.

I used various bits of background from my stash including this dry embossed panel.

Better make sure my box is set up to record Gwen, she always comes up with some fabulous ideas on her shows.

Thanks for stopping by.

Big Bold Words

 Evening All,

Today saw the launch of some new Sue Wilson dies, her Big Bold Words collection.

They really are fabulously large dies which make quite a statement on a card. I got to play with HAPPY.

I cut the die from a piece of card and used it as a stencil.

I sponged Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean Distress inks over the stencil before die cutting the whole thing with the outer die.

I added a little more ink to some pale pink cardstock along with some die cut wirlygig flowers and a hand drawn border.

I created the die cut panel on this card in the same way,

only I decided not to waste the coloured handmade stencil, so I attached it to the panel with glue.

I stamped and embossed Anniversary (one of several sentiment stamps that come with the die set) in to the spaces on the die cut letters.

I also added some tiny dots and then layered the panel onto a piece of dry embossed cardstock highlighted with various Creative Expressions polishes.

I can see this being a very useful addition to my dies, in fact I have an idea forming for another card as I am writing this.

You can see the dies in action next week when Gwen will be showcasing them on Create and Craft on 23rd March.

Thanks for stopping by.

Making the Most of Sue Wilson

Morning Everyone,
I did think I might have finally written all of my Christmas cards, until I thought of a couple more as I was in the shower this morning, so maybe not lol.
Anyway I thought that we might have a break from them on the blog today and share something different.

 These cards have all been made using Brushos or Color Bursts.

The background to this one also uses a Dutch Doobadoo stencil and a fabulous Hero Arts grasses stamp.

 I also added a little bit of sparkle with a little Imagination Sparkle Medium.

This one uses a different stencil, 

as well as a moon mask and some extra sponged ink.

These last cards use plain Brusho backgrounds

and stamped images

that match the fantastic Sue Wilson die.

Of course not wanting to waste anything, I have used up every part of my die cut card to create nice decorative borders

as well as using the centers as nice ornate frames.Maybe I can get back to the gym now that I have finished my card writing, I certainly need to, although it is not looking good for today. Why is it that having a couple of extra days off might make for a short week, but it feels like today has gone on for ever.
Time for a granny nap, me think the gym can wait another day lol.
Have a great day.
