Father's Day Rosette Card

With Father's Day next week, I thought I would share a really quick and easy Father's Day Card Idea, that none the less looks very effective.

Card Recipe:

Tools: Tonic Studios Indulgence Tea Party Square Base Die, Round Window Pour Me Die and Family Sentiments Die Pack, Scallop Circle Layering Dies, Grand Calibur, Super Trimmer 
Paper and Card: Linen card, Stardream
Embellishments: Crystal Rhinestones

To make my filigree card base, I used the new Indulgence Tea Party Square Base Die following my Filigree Card Base Tutorial. This just makes such a delicate but striking card base.  Just because it's a card for a man, doesn't mean it can't have a little bit of bling, with some topaz coloured crystal rhinestones.

For the topper, I used the outer circle from the Pour Me dies. Then I cut a 3cm wide strip of card from the same card as I had used for the card base and scored it using the Super Trimmer to create a concertina fold.  The rosestte is created by simply glueing the two ends together, then pushing it flat and adhering to the card.  I covered the hole in the middle with a small scallop circle.

Finally, I used the Dad from the Family Sentiments Dies.

Hope you all have a great weekend! Pin It Now!

Sneak Peek 3 - Fretwork Filigree Base & Pave Pearls

Back again with another Sneak Peek and another classic Dips Designs style card - lots of pave pearls  combined with filigree fretwork.  Whilst the Ornate Elegance Verso Header Fold Die Sets are designed primarily to work with the fold in your card, because they are also part of Tonic Studios Verso range, it means you can use them without the outer cutting edge.  So here I've used the fretwork header to create an inset fretwork detail to the top and bottom of my card base, which I then paved with peach flatback pearls.  

I've used Mum from the Family Members Die Set (but there is also a New Baby set and a Partner set too), and matted it onto my Vintage Frame Tag - just the perfect size and style for this card.  A few more peach and ivory pearls, and viola, an elegant and classy card that any Mum would love to receive!

Do you like this style of card, I hope so, but do let me know what you think?  The new range will be launching on Create and Craft at midday on Friday 2nd May.

Sneak Peek 1 - Ornate Elegance & Family Members

New Tonic Studions Ornate Elegance Verso Header Fold
and Family Members Die Sets

So there are new dies from Tonic Studios about to be released and the clever pixies at Tonic Towers have once again produced a really versatile range.  The Ornate Elegance Verso Header Fold Die Set are designed primarily to work with the fold in your card, but you know me, I like to show you different ways to use your dies and especially how they work with your existing dies.  So here's one of my favourite filigree style cards using one of the Ornate Elegance Headers along with the Boudoir Base Die Set.

And yes, the new release also includes three new range of sentiments dies.  I've used Nan from the Family Members Die Set, but there is also a New Baby set and a Partner set too.

Do you like the look of these, let me know what you think?  The new range will be launching on Create and Craft at midday on Friday 2nd May.
