Birds & Branches - with Grace's Garden - Video Tutorial


Today's Video shows you how I created these simple ... but very pretty cards.

I used a couple of Sneak Peek products coming from our new Annual Catalogue.


The papers are from the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. These are beautiful papers with Champagne Foiling running through them.


The sentiment comes from the lovely Grace's Garden stamp set. I haven't played with this one much yet, but will be doing so very soon :o)

The sentiment was die cut using one of the dies coming in the Tasteful Labels set.


The little flowers were stamped using an image from the Birds & Branches stamp set - this is one of the new products I am currently playing with! :o)


Here is the Video ...

Note: If you use A4 as your standard sheet of card – follow the metric measurements (cms).

Painted Poppies - Embossing With Toilet Roll


Today I'm sharing another card created using the Embossing With Toilet Roll technique :o)

I showed you a different card in my previous post - HERE and also created a Video demonstrating the technique.

Today's card has a completely different look to my previous one.

I used the Painted Poppies stamp set and coordinating dies together with some of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.


The Old Olive embossed panel was created using the Toilet Tissue. I used one of the new embossing folders from the Greenery set - this will be available from next month.

The sentiment comes from the Country Home stamp set.

Very Versailles - Technique: Embossing With Toilet Roll - Video Tutorial


I have a Technique Video to share with you today. This will show you how to emboss using Toilet Roll.

The same technique works for any type of soft tissue - for instance paper napkins, Kitchen Roll or Facial Tissue, like Kleenex.

The results you get with it are gorgeous. It will give a lovely soft texture with a beautiful deep embossing. You should get little or no cracking at all and it's something different to try without the need for extra special equipment.


I used the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. After embossing, I added a light colour using a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake ink. I wanted to give my card a little vintage feel.


I stamped the inside of the card to coordinate with the front.


You can use any embossing folder for this technique. The Toilet Tissue I used was 2-ply and I used 3 layers.

Here is the Video ...
