Christmas tree and decorations

Another DT project for Blockwallah - this one is a stamped and painted Christmas tree with paperclay ornaments. Although, as I cut out butterflies, it could be for all year round! Showing the stamp and a closeup of the painted, glittered twig Stamped gift wrap tissue paper, using gold acrylic with glitter thrown on while wet Paperclay ornaments, a twig and decoupaged tissue paper on the pot Tear up the tissue, and layer on over the pot using decoupage glue Paperclay ornaments I stamped onto paperclay first, then cut out each image twice using pasty cutters. Next step was to paint them using acrylic paint. I then rubbed over with gold paint and threw on glitter while the paint was still wet (the glitter will stick when dry). Finally stick the two layers together with a piece of string in between, to hang them. Alternatively, use hot glue to stick the string to the back of a single layer, then disguise the glue with more acrylic. I also added fake snow (structure paste) with a palette k

Catching up with Blockwallah

As I've been pretty much missing in action, here's a post catching you up with some of my DT samples for Blockwallah - and in no particular order. Hope you like them! Layered card with pocket, with tag inside And the blue version Also with a pocket, with a tag tucked inside I used a die cut to make the pocket, and simply turned the end up, once stamped with acrylic paint and the blocks.

Stand up, light up tree card for Studio Light

This piece is made using just one embossing folder (with cut out die insert) from the Autumn collection by StudioLight. I've inked the inside of the embossing folder using Brilliance ink in Lightning Black, and run this through with a piece torn from a watercolour sketch pad. The folder then embossed in a letterpress style, with the die insert cutting out the leaves. I placed this on top of my torn cardboard packaging, pierced the leaves to give me an idea of placement, and cut out sections with a craft knife. Next, I mounted the tree piece on a thin card frame on top of the torn cardboard. I mounted the whole lot on some foamcore board (I cut an aperture in the back) then placed my LED lights to show through). I then placed the left-over piece of foamcore back over the aperture, taping down with brown gummed paper tape (which is incredibly strong). I made a holster for the battery pack by folding card around it to shape it, then glued this to the back of the foamcore
