LOOK WHAT JANETTE MADE ME DO..

 Hello everyone,

Well, the corset has been getting a real good workout, I've had lots of fun and lots of disasters, well, not disasters, but been unimpressed shall we say....but reading my comments Janette came up with, this would  make a nice Christmas card too..................so..................I did..

These papers from Rosies Studio have been in my stash since my crafting time began

noy a lot left but one sheet was perfect for this project..

A red and fine gold stripe foil type paper.

So I cut the corset out, glued things in place and added pop pom trim

and another white hat 3 times for thickness, added tiny strip of paper and pom pom trim,..

Card base, 6 x 6 papers and added music sheet along bottom, they were 2 inch panels, I have lots of those that size and add just the right amount on short paper.

and big white snowflakes die cut out on thicker paper and they cut perfect.

Time for hat treatment, I cut tiny snowflakes and glued them in place, trimmed the edges..

Then lost the die, found it 2 hours later when I leant on the desk

 and felt a sting near my elbow..yay, it was the snowflake die.

Then I die cut this bow and it was the perfect size..

Nearly there..just needs a bit of something else.

Fir tree branches..

such a dilemma..

poked in this side

then slid the sentiment under it slightly..

DONE!

There you go Janette, a Christmas one..ha ha ha..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON  time and a new challenge with our lovely hostess Imke and her theme is a fun one.. " G " - for gentlemen..

i had a fun day making backgrounds on tags by using tissue papers

 that have been printed on so the job 

has already been done for you..

added die cut tab tops and inked around the edges..

then die cut, in black ,a man and die cut again in red to get the details to add.

See..

back to the tags as the glue was nice and dry, and time for stenciling..

Letters

script

and a couple of others and set aside to dry..

after each time stenciling with modeling paste, I drop the stencils in a warm water container

right next to me..just to be sure.

then, 

time for these powders, not my favourite,

 but have so many of them I needed to use some up..

so sprinkled them on and sprayed water on and let them do their thing..

shiny ..

these hats were before I bought my die hats, so they were printed, then fussy cut and covered with black pens.

then I added gold details..

nuvo drops for the dots..

Die cut some TH men and have everything together now..

On they went..

added big numbers..

sentiment strips.

and tried to zoom in, but I cant read them...good luck..

CORSET #3

 Hello everyone,

This my last corset card and I LOVE this one..

My son is getting married again to his love, Steph, and she loves Steampunk, I do a lot of Steampunk things for her, every tag I make she buys even though I say, just have it, no she pays, which is awesome..so Steph was in my mind making this card as their wedding will be..get this..Steampunk verses Star Wars..which is Steve's favourite thing in the world..

So I decided to have a wee practice as to what could or more than likely,  happen when I mix the two together for their wedding card.

This one can be her bridal shower if she has one..or birthday, I don't know, it is a practice run.

Out came the top hat again, I'm getting my money's worth with this die..

Corset in black base and patterned paisley paper for the fancy layer.

and I change the background paper as they blended to much for this bold brown 

spot.

Hat in white with some inking around the edges, band with pattern paper and thin black strips

of ribbon and a bow..

metal corners for decoration..

a few very tiny flowers from wild orchid crafts

and I popped a Happy birthday gold embossed on black sentiment just for photos..

there she all done, just do not know why I didn't add the lace, maybe I should have

may have to fish it out add that..we'll see.

Much better..

So there you go, done.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon...

Corset #2

 Hello everyone,

Time for corset number two..and this one I struggle with, maybe because another blue and I tried not to make it the same, I don't know but was glad when it was finished..

this time I embossed with my favourite embossing folder as far as classy patterns go.

and use patterned paper with it so it really pops out..

same step really..

the inside I used scraps..

made this a bit too thick..

added the corset onto the painted and  wet embossed panel

then popped that onto the dry embossed panel..

Done..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow with my favourite one..

NEW DIE ..HAD TO PLAY..OVER AND OVER..

 Hello everyone,

Yes, I have a new die, I surfed everywhere to get what I wanted for an up coming project and finally found this one on Temu and it wasn't too cheap..but my day started off with prep panels..

Swiping paint..

I have jars of this paint in my cupboard and really use them, 

but on this day, out they came.

Made a few panels..not neat painting,

just brush it up or down for texture..

then I stenciled them with modeling past..

and on this one, although you cannot see it, I added gold glitter..

now my craftroom sparkles wherever you look.

This is my new die..it is a corset in two parts,

solid back, and the front panel is the detail cut in patterned paper.

I added lace at the leg top.

made panels with same papers but reverse side and added 

a pale blue textured panel..

Holly was too busy watching the printer to worry about texture paste

added the detail lace up layer and then a real bow at the top..

some little blue flowers from my stash..

lace detail along the top..

then splattered with blue distress spray

Think I'm there..

thick but not too thick..

Yes, I'm done,

there she is Ooolala..

You know you are going to see these for a few days now don't you,

sorry, it's the way I roll..

Thank you so much for stopping by,

hope you have a fabulous weekend..

and just to mention the scrapbook is coming on now, I got in the zone the other day and was rather productive, no where near finished but on a small roll for now..

luv CHRISSYxx
