Hello friends
First of the month...we are hurtling towards Spring now.
Friday Die Day and this week I'm going with romance....
You receive 6 die templates with this set.
They coordinate with Classic Heart so you can do some pretty layering.
This is how they look cut/embossed.
Red - very Valentines!
Now something a little different - do you use rub-ons?
Do you spend quite a long time pressing them through with a lolly stick?
If so, here is an idea.... position your rub on onto your paper/cardstock.
Place a further piece of card underneath just for thickness. Run this through your Grand Calibur
with your A Base Plate and C Cutting Plate.
The pressure transfers your rub-on!
(Please note: Rub-ons tend to vary by manufacture, some transfer perfectly others can
be a little stubborn so it may take a couple of runs through the Grand Calibur - also the style of
rub-on can make a difference - just lift the edge gently to see if they have transferred properly).
I then cut/embossed two hearts - one white and one red with the rub-on in place.
Welcome back tag! Where have you been??
I've covered the tag with some spotty paper and inked the edges.
Stamped cream cardstock with a 'newsprint' stamp and applied a panel.
Added some spotted ribbon and the two hearts layered.
Finishing touches - two little flowers, a tag stamped and twine.
Yes...that's my tag die that I lost and now found - such a relief!

Before I go - I've had a request to feature my bookends that I created for Spellbinders some time ago -
here is the link and this is a picture of them...
Have a lovely weekend dear friends.

Hi Christine
Your tag is gorgeous, I love everything about it, plus you've used a set of dies I own! I must add it to my list of things to give a try.
The bookends are fabulous, I must have missed them before. As for the rub-ons, what a great idea, I have loads in a file that I bought when I first started making cards. This is a good tip and reminder for m to rescue them and use!
Thanks so much for FDD, it's good to see it back :-))

Hi Christine, What a great tip to run your rubons through the GC. Love the tag very much, thanks for sharing.
Nice to see the bookends again too.
Are you hoping to finish off the little corner shelves this weekend?? cant wait to see the window etc when its all put together.

I think this is lovely Christine - I love these hearts, I haven't bought them because I didn't think I would use them - don't you change your mind when you start blogging??? Think I neeeeeed them now! Love the spotty dotty paper as well, gorgeous.
Big hugs to you
Sue Pxxx
Yay for Fdd!
I love those scalloped hearts and I loved what you did with them!
Do you stock much on the way of rub ons Christine? It's something I don't come across very often.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.
