Tomorrow is Saint David's day, a very important day in this country. Saint David is our patron Saint, and his feast day is a great occasion for Welsh people. We'll be celebrating in all sorts of ways.
So today's project has a patriotic theme. I made this little
box to hold a fridge magnet but it would also fit a lipstick.I made it with a double wall.I like the professional finish of this type
of box.
Here's how I made it.
Hope you have a good day, and if you have any Welsh cakes,
enjoy!
It's Saturday, so today I've been playing with some of the goodies in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.
Isn't this little truck cute?
This was inspired by the picture in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.
As you can see, the truck is going in the opposite direction from the one in the catalogue - so I had to do some reverse stamping.I made a mistake when I photographed it and took a picture of the wrong side - D'Oh!
I used a stamp press, which really helps to get a good impression when you’re reverse-stamping.
SU don't stock them but if you are looking for one, Amazon have the WMRK press that works in pretty much the same way as the one I use - here's a link -
That's what today's project is. One piece of card,some watercolour pencils, and a simple die cut
I'm really impressed with the quality of the watercolour pencils. They are so soft and easy to blend.
The candles are sized to fit the sides of the window box , but it makes a great little panel to sit on the front of this simple card. Here's a tutorial- it's a nice short one today-
I do hope that you enjoyed it !
I used a stamp press when I made this card because the watercolour paper is quite textured and I wanted to be able to re-stamp in exactly the same place if it didn't stamp clearly. As it happened, it worked fine the first time. SU don't make a stamp press (yet!) but meanwhile, if you're looking for one, Amazon has the WMRK version -
