Delightfully Detailed Laser cut Speciality Paper

Hello again, I hope this finds you well.

At my recent class we focused on the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Speciality Paper.

Quite a mouthful!

Inspired By Cary Buckham of 2biggirslcrafting fame,

who did a presentation at Onstage in April,

we did the mirror technique using the stamparatus.

I also used a project by Ann Schach of stampinchic.com

Using some new laser cut cards and Bird Ballad paper,

we made some pretty cards.

Here's some the class members made....

You can cut it, use it as overlays,  as a stencil, colour it,

use either side ....white or cream

Lots of fussy cutting of the snippets of paper

I shared a tip for making 2 cards with one die,

cutting a shape from the centre of a card, 

the smaller snippet being used for a sentiment. 

If you use red rubber in the stamparatus, do use some grid paper

to help you line it up, before stamping on your project

It'll also prevent you doing it upside down :) 

Another tip from Di at the SnippetsPlayground,

is using scrap strips of card instead of foam pads,

to raise up your images, without raising the cost of postage!

I also used a snippet of yellow on the back of the aperture.

So, popping over to the Snippets Playground, as we all used lots of snippets!

Thanks for visiting

It Starts With Art

Hello there

hope this finds you well.....

I had a few lacemaker friends with birthdays recently.

Like most crafters they dabble in lots of different crafts,

so I was very pleased to have a new stamp set to play with!

It Starts With Art

Hope you like them.....

Love our stitched dies......make lovely frames as well as toppers

I stamped a background and Lots of fussy cutting went on...

Then I did that thing you do sometimes..............

stuck it the wrong side of the card blank!

But hey ho, she's left handed, so I'd made her a left handed card didn't I.....!!!

Have a great weekend

Lesley

Onstage April 2019

Hi there

though it about time to share some of the lovely things I got at Onstage in Telford recently.

First up, is one of those Random Acts of Kindness,

(of which I received many this year)

that is a cherished memory of the day.

Having finally got a seat with my team,

a lovely lady asked if I was swapping.

I apologised that I had none, but she gave me one of hers anyway,

and it turned out her name was also Lesley!

Here's her lovely little bag, full of goodies

It contained a sticky note pad, tiny pen, and a chocolate,

all nestled among some shredded paper.

Thank you Lesley!

Have a great weekend all

Lesley
