Great Effects with Ink and Glue

Make great effects with inks and glue !!! 
The more you do this the better effects you get !!

You will need inks, clear drying glue, blenders, white card and 

the tag die from the luggage and tags die set.

https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product.php?product=3234

1. Die cut your tag and ink lightly colours of your choice.
( I chose Peeled Paint and Victorian Velvet Distress ink)
2. Put glue lightly in a pattern on your tag and smudge with your
finger. The more you do the better patterns you can create!!
LEAVE GLUE TO DRY it wont work if its still wet.
3. Ink over the tag again.
4. Rub off the excess ink, it doesn't stay on over the glue!
5. Decorate your tag! 

I used Arianna Blooms stamp and dies for my flowers and leaves,
ribbons to match my inks and I cut a tag from the Romantique Garden 

papers that toned in nicely to sit behind my tag. Added
a sentiment also from the same paper pad and its done!

Have fun with this !!! Liz

Merry Christmas !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!

From me to all of you ! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much for following my crafting journey, its much appreciated.

So........ the card......... I created the card from the new 

Spellbinders Heirloom Rectangle die.

Paper, sentiment, holly swirls and flowers are from Heartfelt Creations.

I cut a rectangle to fit the card and stamped the sentiment on it,

cutting a piece of paper a 1/2cm larger to layer on it.

Right !! I'm off to cook my dinner!!

Turkey, Pigs in Blankets, cheese bacon rolls, cranberry sauce,

three different homemade stuffings, carrots, parsnips, roast potatoes

and of course the obligatory sprouts !!! 

YUM!!! There will probably be no room again this year for the Christmas pudding!!

Never mind we can eat that another day !!! hehe

Have a wonderful time, much love and thanks to all.

Tealight tutorial

Create a tea light holder with die cuts!! (only use a battery operated tea light for safety)

1. Cut two die cuts from the Decorative lace border die and one of 
the second largest of the Spellbinder Lacey Circle die in white card.
2. Glue the two Lace border die cuts together.
3. Glue the lace border die cuts into a cylinder.
4. Using hot glue adhere the die cuts to the circle die cut.
TIP: Use the glue gun when it is really really hot so the
glue is fluid, its easier to adhere to the circle. Now you
just need to decorate it!
5. To decorate this holder I used the Sun Kissed Fleur stamp and
die, Holly Berry stamp set and co-ordinating die Ornamental add
ons, ribbon, gems and inks.



This can be decorated for any season !! They would look great for Valentines !!
