Mixed Pastel Weave

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I started by cutting the Intermediate Weaving Die out of Sky Blue, Aqua, Primrose and Lilac Card. I glued the Sky Blue and Primrose die cuts together at the ends only, offsetting them to fill in the gaps. I cut the Aqua and Lilac Die Cuts into single strips and wove them through the other piece in a one by one weave alternating between Aqua and Lilac strips.

When my weave was complete, I made a frame out of Primrose Card using the Scallopd Lattice Frames Set B Die Set. I added my frame to my weave using Woodware Foam Tape. I matted onto Sky Blue, Lilac and Aqua Card.

I cut the Thank You Die Set out of Primrose and Sky Blue Card.

I made some flowers out of Sky Blue and Primrose Card using the Striped Nasturtium Die Set. I added little flowers to the centres cut from Lilac Card using the Spring Foliage Die Set.

I added some foliage cut from Aqua Card using the Spring Foliage Die Set, adding some more little Lilac Flowers. I added a 3mm Cream Pearl to the centre of all the little flowers.

I have found out how you can add a note to your orders on my website so you can now request a free card when you order if you wish (on orders £10 and over). You can also use the box if you need to have your parcel left in a special place or with a neighbour. 

It looks like this on mobiles and tablets (just slightly different layout on pcs)

Blue & Lilac Intermediate & Striped Weave

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the weave on this one, I cut the Intermediate Weaving Die out of Lilac Card and out of Sky Blue Card. I glued the 2 die cuts together, offsetting them to fill in the gaps.

I cut the Striped Weaving Die out of Lilac Card and out of Sky Blue Card. I glued the 2 die cuts together, offsetting them to fill in the gaps. I cut this piece into pieces - 2 strips wide : 1 blue and 1 lilac strip in each piece.

Now, remember - 2 Striped Strips = width of 1 Intermediate Strip. I wove a pair of Striped Strips through the Intermediate Die Cuts as shown and continued with the pattern until the whole background was complete.

I made a frame out of Sky Blue Card using the Scalloped Lattice Frames Set B and added it to my woven background using Woodware 2mm Foam Tape, trimming away the excess. I matted onto Lilac, then Sky Blue and then another piece of Lilac Card.

I added Sue's Thank You Die cut from Lilac and Sky Blue Card.

The foliage is cut using Sue's Spring Foliage Die Set. The flowers are made using Sue's Striped Nasturtium Die Set with a 5mm White Pearl to the centre of each flower.

Shaving Foam & Pigment Stain Weave

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the weave on this one, I started by creating some Shaving Foam Backgrounds with Bluebell, Citrus Lime and Rose Pink CS Intense Pigment Stains. I cut the Intermediate Weaving Die out of the first generation print from the Shaving Foam, 3rd generation print and out of Coconut White Card twice. To fit the smallest frame possible from the Stitched Square Peg Board, you need to extend the weft. So, I cut an extra strip from my first generation background and another strip of Coconut White. I glued a Coconut White die cut to my first generation cut, offsetting it to fill in the gaps but dropping it down to leave a space at the top and the bottom.I then added my extra strips.

I added my other Coconut White Die Cut to my 3rd generation cut, offesetting it to fill in all the gaps. I cut it into pieces 2 strips wide and then wove the strips through my extended piece.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using dies #2 and #4 from the Stitched Square Peg Board Die Set and added it to my woven background using 2mm Foam Tape trimming away the excess with scissors. I matted onto a couple of pieces of Coconut White Card.

I cut the Make a Cake die out of Coconut White Card, Silver Mirror Card and from my 3rd generation background. I coloured the candles using Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Markers.

I made my flowers from Coconut White and 1st generation background using the Pinwheel Floral Die Set and cut the leaves out of Coconut White Card using the same die set. I added an 8mm White Pearl to the centre of my flower.

I completed my card by adding a 5mm White Pearl to the corners of my frame.

Woven 3 Die Christmas Card

Hi Bloggers.

I have a Christmas Card with a woven background for you today.

For the weave on this one, I cut the Classic Weaving Die out of Milk Card, I cut the Intermediate Weaving Die out of Rich Red Card and the Striped Weaving Die out of Antique Gold Pearl Card. I cut the Red and the Gold die cuts in half lengthways. I then glued the 2 Red pieces together offsetting them to fill in the gaps. I cut them into pieces that were 2 strips wide. I also glued the 2 Gold pieces together offsetting them to fill in the gaps. I cut them into pieces that were 4 strips wide.

4 strips of a Striped die cut = the width of 1 Classic and 2 strips of an Intermediate die cut = the width of 1 Classic. So, here, we basically have a 1 x 1 Classic weave in terms of how quick and easy it is.

As you can see, I have woven 2 strips of Red Intermediate through the Milk Classic then 4 strips of Gold Striped through and so on until my weave was complete.

I made a frame out of Milk Card using Sue Wilson's Scalloped Lattice Frames Set B and added it to my woven background using Woodware Foam Tape. I matted onto Milk, Rich Red, Antique Gold Pearl and another piece of Milk Card.

I cut the sentiment out of Rich Red and Antique Gold Pearl Card using Lisa Horton's Christmas Wishes Die Set.

I cut the Poinsettia Cluster Die Set out of Rich Red and Antique Gold Pearl Card and added a 5mm Cream Pearl to the centre of the flowers.
