Katy Sue Green Man mould

I've just been looking through some of my draft posts and there's quite a few that I really should blog - including this pencil pot made for hubby's 60th - nearly three years ago now!!  I rusted up the tin with some Rust Patina Paint and Treasure Gold Waxes.  The Green Man mould is a fabulous one from Katy Sue Designs made with airy dry clay and then rusted and waxed again.  The clay has cracked a litttle but I quite like the aged feel it gives.

I also decorated a note book for him below.

Finally, after giving it a proper clean(!) I used it with cake decorating clay  for his cake.

You can find the mould here at Katy Sue Designs.

More birthdays this week - my daughter's partner, and our Violet's 7th who's having a crafting and nature party at ours!  I'll see you on the other side!

New Release Angel Pad from Katy Sue Designs on Create and Craft Tomorrow.

Morning folks, just popping in to share my samples for the Katy Sue Release which is being aired on Create and Craft tomorrow.  It' s a new Christmas Angels pad that can be made into fabulous Christmas cards and can also be used with the wide range of MDF products that Katy Sue offer.

I love the blue palette of the pad, but there is also some purples and yellows too!  And aren't these deer images so cute!!

Just to show there's some colour variation, I brought out the pink of her waist ribbon, by using some Katy Sue snowflake peel offs as masks then inked the paper with pink ink!  I further brought out the pink shading the flowers and dies with pink too.

For this MDF star. I cut one of the angel images out, using the centre star as a template.  I've then added Frantage Shabby Blue enamel to the base star and round the edge of the image.  Perfect as a gift for a Christmas baby!

I'll have some more samples to share with you tomorrow - don't forget to tune into the shows on Create and Craft at 10:30am and 3pm tomorrow with Dawn Bibby.

Katy Sue Designs Floral Wreath

I  made this wreath using a gorgeous set of  ready die cut flowers from Katy Sue Designs. They''re so nicely cut and so easy to use.  

To make my wreath, I used some large circle dies on some Katy Sue Grey Board - it's construction grade so gives you a really nice firm centre to the wreath.  I then cut out two further wreath shapes in  in white card to cover the greyboard.

Once I'd pressed out the flower layers and leaves  from the sheets, I  inked all the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink to give them an aged look.  I then spent a little time shaping and curling the petals with a ball tool.  I then made the flowers by layering up the petals remembering to place the petal layers in between each other to give depth to the flowers.  

Before fixing the flowers to the wreath base, I punched a hole at the top and looped in some 

co-ordinating ribbon to hang the wreath.  I then arranged the flowers and leaves until the wreath was filled.

As you can see from the picture of the flowers on the sheets, you can really change the feel of your make from cool and pretty to aged and shabby, so they really are versatile and saved on a whole load of punching out  or die cutting flower petals!

Hop on over here to the Katy Sue site to find the flowers.

New Zuzz Papercraft Kit from Katy Sue Designs

This gorgeous Zuzz Papercraft kit is being launched today on Create and Craft TV by Dawn Bibby.

Katy Sue Designs Moulds and Peel-offs as stencils!!

Hope you're all watching Jak Heath with Leonie at the moment on Hochanda - showcasing these fabulous silicone moulds from Katy Sue Designs along with lots of other goodies for Mixed Media projects.

For these cards I've used the peel-offs as stencils for the background with brushos and Distress Oxides, the moulds with Hearty White light as air clay and this fabulous gossamer-like material for the dress (which I've also coloured with brushos to make the waistband.

The Peel-offs really do make great stencils - I love the effects here.  And the moulds are fabulous, they give such great detail in the clay and they're so flexible that you can get the moulded shape out really easily!

Don't worry if you're missing this show - Jak is on again at 3pm!
