Paper Roses & Leaves Templates SET

I have just uploaded a new Temple Set.

 Paper Roses & Leaves Templates SET

  This set has a gazillion different files.. don't let it scare you LOL..  here is an example of the ready-to-print outline sheet:

Those are the shapes available as outline sheets you hand-cut ( also has a leaves sheet and just flowers sheet), or as a digital stencil ( transparent shapes with a solid white background you digitally place on top of coloured or digital paper so just the patterned/coloured shape prints out - no black outline.  There are also single images available so you can resize and use to fit your needs.  I also included an SVG cutting file sheet to be used in digital cutting machines, as well as sheets and images that are solid black shapes so that you can import/trace in various cutting software and machines. 


You can use these like digital stamps but they are more like templates that you print on the wrong side of your paper/cardstock and have DP paper or hand colour the right side after you cut them out.  I am in the process of making a tutorial for this card:

 For this card, I used an outline sheet and hand cut ( the leaves are actually cut out using pinking scissors  but the variegated leaves can be easily cut around with regular scissors)  Every thing on this card was coloured with distress inks and sponges and glimmer spray.

Here is a FREEBIE I made using the stencil version of the template sheet:

 Please DOWNLOAD HERE

I used Paint Shop Pro and floodfilled the empty spaces with patterns and colours. Hope you like!

Anyway, I'll be back soon with more info and a tutorial.

CARD Butterfly

 If you are looking for the BLOG HOP it's HERE!

Here is a card I made using the Monarch Butterfly Digi and SVG cutting files set.  I cut the  Monarch Butterfly1 SVG ( it has an intricate top and a solid base to cut) and used distress inks and some homemade glimmer spray to colour.  The background is one I made a while ago by drawing and smudging randoms swirls of soft pastels then cuttlebug embossed.   The flowers are odds and sodds from my extra flower bits that I print out.  Also in the butterfly set are digi versions, which I will shows samples of soon ;)

Have a great day!

I will have some NEW DESIGNS in the store today.  Stay tuned...  I am running behind LOL

This blog hop will run from today, MAY 21st until MAY 27. On the 28th, the winner will be announced on the "Fred She Said" blog  .  Yep, right here ;)

Emma in the Strawberry Patch Digi Set

There is a new Emma in the store ;)  Emma in the Strawberry Patch   It comes with another strawberries image as well.

Was this card "fun" LOL  I coloured with copics & neopikos... I am still figuring out the bleed problem.. need better CS BUT that wasn't my real problem.  I tried running the image through the cuttle bug with the nesties taped to the CS with painters tape.. I felt the tape... it didn't feel very sticky... well after I shredded the outer layer of paper trying to get the tape off... I tried rescuing the image with a coating of modge podge... LOL... it kind of worked.  anyhoo  the blossoms were made using a flower I drew and cut in the cricut ( Fred got a new Cricut! .... more info later ;) ), a stamen punch and then I cut up a punched flower to make the strawberries.  The leaves were a free SVG I found on the web.  If I find it, I'll edit this to include the link.  Everything ( except Emma ) was coloured with distress inks and stickles.


Have a great day!
