Faux Tiling

Today, I would like to show you another fun card we did at the Australia's Biggest Afternoon Tea using the Simply Scored tool.

I am enjoying using this fun tool and it is so easy to create unique effects on your cards.

The card below uses the faux tiling technique.  The square of Whisper White is scored with lines 1.5 cm apart, then turned 90 degrees and scored again to create a grid pattern.  With the indented side facing up, the card is then stamped on.  The ink will 'miss' the indented lines, creating a tiled effect.

Not bad huh?  Although we did not do an 'inside' for this card at the make and take, I sponged and stamped a square to go inside when I assembled the leftovers.

Stamps:  Elements of Style, Apothecary Art

Card:  Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Whisper White

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze

Tools:  Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelits die, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, 1" Circle Punch, Scallop Square Bigz die

If you would like a demonstration of the Simply Scored tool, why not come to one of my classes, or book a class or a party in your own home.

Elegant Bird

Another swap I received showcased the Elegant Bird Bigz Die.  There have been some fantastic examples of this die in cyberspace, incuding some beautiful wedding decorations.

The bird is made using the Twitterpated DSP with the background created using Apothecary Art.  The rosette in the middle of the bird is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  Any project requiring folding or creasing is made easier using this fantastic new product. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Apothecary swap

This is one of the beautiful sets from the new mini - Apothecary Art.  The stamps set co-ordinates with the Framelits Labels Collection, making it sooooo easy to cut out that beautiful shape using the Big Shot.  The flower images are adorable and can be coloured in or left plain.

The set comes with two sentiments - Happiest Birthday which you see above or So Grateful or use the sentiments from Loving Thoughts which also co-ordinate.  Check out the new catalogue by clicking on the icon on the left side bar.  You'll love it!

Thanks for stopping by!
