Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday.  Today Sue shows how to create velvet roses.

 The new Artisan Explorer can cut bulkier items like fabrics, velvet and mesh. You still may need to roll the plates through several times. Don’t worry if it is a little rough around the edges, the heat gun will melt the threads.

Step 1

 Using Spellbinders Rose creations cut out 3 sizes of roses from velvet. You may have to pack extra cardstock and roll through several times to make a good cut. Cut 2 sizes of mesh or muslin as well 

Step 2

 Thread all layers onto a bunch of stamens. Use a little hot glue to adhere all the stalks together to make it easier. 

Step 3

 Spritz with Glimmer mist of your choice 

Step 4

Dry off with heat gun, to melt frayed edges and deepen colour. You can have a lot of fun using different fabrics and textiles to create wonderful layers, consider using a brad as the centre or even beads and buttons.

This is our second post today.  Please scroll down for another fabulous card from Teresa.

This turned out to be a quick and easy card. The trick was finding a die big enough to cut an entire edge of a cardfront. I used the pattern already printed on the paper to be another decorative feature, making this card just about unisex.

I used the Rose Creation dies to make a flower from calico and organza as a big embellishment for this card. I cut the flowers out then scrunched them up and rolled them for a little while in my hands so that they would fray just a little.

I love how the harlequin background stamp really compliments the spritely sprockets in this male card. The tickets as well add a nice neutral element.

This tiny photo needed some white space around it, or it would have been lost in the busy confetti of the patterned paper. Some tiny little die cuts were added over and around the focal point in order to carry the confetti theme throughout.
