I hope you had a good weekend and that the snow didn't affect your plans too much. We didn't have any snow down here in Southampton just a bit of rain. We did find a lovely big frame for the Admiralty Chart so it can be made into the table plan for our niece's wedding. I only had to trim a little off the chart to make it fit. I am quite relieved that this is sorted I was wondering how it would be done. I just have to wait for details of where the guests are sitting before I can proceed any further.
About a week ago I was sent some gatefold embossing folders with matching edge dies by Tattered Lace to make some samples with. The folders and dies are in a bundle that is being released on Create and Craft today. They are part of a four day deal.
Here are the samples I sent in. I made three cards and two boxes.
This is the first card I made it uses the Opulent Lace Embossing folder.
Next I used the Demure Lace Embossing folder to make this card.
Then I used the Sumptuous Lace embossing folder. The folders are very pretty and I used some gilding wax to show off the detail.
Then I decided to make some boxes. This one was decorated with the Decadent Lace embossing folder.
Finally for this box I went back to Opulent Lace embossing folder. I really did like making the boxes and I think they worked well.
I do hope that you have a good week. Thank you for stopping by. I am hoping to catch up on my crafting now that my husband is back at work.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
