I have finally made time to share in more detail the sample cards I made for my Onstage presentation in Auckland. I was so lucky to receive the Praiseworthy Bundle to play with. It is a beautiful stamp set with dictionary style sentiments. The dies are fabulous - lower case letters in a lovely font. I will be getting a lot of use from these! These dies and stamp set will be available to order with the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue which goes live June 4th 2019. Make sure you look out for them (page 109). These three cards are the ones I showcased during my presentation. I made more samples for the display boards that I will share over the next few weeks. (I got a bit carried away!) For this eclipse card I embossed a panel of water colour paper with the subtle embossing folder then used my aquapainters and ink pads to create a water colour wash. I love the effect of this. Then I cut out the die letters and pieced them back into the cardstock. I love this Family card - the cute little dog house from the Happy Tails set. I have kept a monochromatic look with coatal cabana and bermuda bay. I have used the background beehive pattern in the stamp set to make a strip down the left hand side then added layers of stitched rectangle dies to give it texture and dimension. This card uses the same monochromatic look but this time I have chosen to die cut the letter 'f'' and then mount the white panel onto a gorgeous grape square die cut to add some interest. Again I have used the background stamp to create a patterned piece. I love these sentiments and they fit so well with the rectangle stitched dies (one of my all time favourite dies!) and my much loved Subtles embossing folder.
