As Valentine’s Day is almost upon us once more, I
thought I’d talk about a couple of shows I did recently using the ‘Love Is In
The Air’ range. It’s a great range of
products, very versatile, very detailed… really lovely.
We showcased the Butterfly, Lattice, Flowers and
Berries panels in this range. There are
elements of these incorporated into the Love Is In The Air Huggables – a small
design decision but an important one because it ensures the panels and the
Huggables complement each other beautifully.
The ‘Click Print Go!’ Love Is In The Air CD-ROM also
got a mention. There are some really
detailed graphics on there that look very professional.
And last but by no means least is the Love Is In The
Air stamps. The size of these is
absolutely perfect to work with the Love Is In The Air dies.
Why is a Huggable called a Huggable? Well, you can make a card in the traditional
way of course, but with these dies you can make a card with a gatefold sleeve;
a lovely card we had on the show had humming birds on one side of the gatefold and
flowers on the other, so that when the card is closed the humming bird ‘hugs’
the flowers. In another equally lovely
card the butterfly moves across to ‘hug’ the flower.
I enjoyed making a card in the studio which I think
worked really well mainly because the colour scheme was very simple indeed. I
put the panel slightly off centre in order to create a shadow. I cut the panel out of the dark blue, and
then out of a strip of the paler blue. Then
I picked up certain elements and used a combination of the two shades of blue
with a little silver to make what I think is a really pretty card, and this was
my Giveaway card on the show.
Subscribers to the Tattered Lace magazine will find
three projects in there using this range of dies in issue 39, which is due to
be delivered around about the 16th of this month.
If you do have a
go at one or all of these projects I’d be interested to see the results… why
not pop a pic of them onto my Facebook page?
