In the last week or so there has been some awesome new products arrive in store. Some of these have been some great new Sizzix Tim Holtz Dies. I have used a few of these to make my christmas cards this week.

Image

The new Tattered Poinsettia is so easy to use, and I think will quickly become a favourite of mine. To make the one on my card this what what I did:

I die cut the pieces twice out of manilla coloured cardstock and inked them with Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Image

Once the ink was dry I gave them a quick swipe with Picket Fence Distress Stain to soften the colours a little and give them some texture.

Image

I then layered and arranged them on top of each other until I was happy with how they looked. I used both doubled sided tape, and a few pieces foam tape to stick them.

Image

The last step was to mist them lightly with Perfect Pearls in Heirloom Gold.

Products Used:

Tattered Poinsettia Die
Mini Cardinal and Mini Poinsettia Die
Vintage Lace Die
Mini Snowflake Die
Peeled Paint Ink
Vintage Photo Ink
Picket Fence Distress Stain
Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold.

Note:
If you find any of the products have sold out due to being popular, send Lee-Anne a message and find out if it can be made available soon!

Stunning cards Karen

that poinsetta die has sold out twice now - VERY popular - but dont fret girls there are more on their way - and remember if you see something you want that we are out of stock on - just send me a PM and ask me to order it in for you - we get orders every week and if I can re-order something that sells out I am happy to do so

Beautiful Karen.

That Poinsettia die is lovely - might have to go on my Secret Santa wish list.
