YIPPEE - NEW PRODUCTS!

Yes indeed - we have new products on board, and I have been playing nicely with them in the last few days.  As you know before that I was suffering from some sort of nasty little bug, but I think I am over the worst, although still off my food (which is probably a blessing in disguise - just have to keep the weight off now!).  Many thanks for the good wishes abounding in the last lot of comments, I'm sure they helped me on my way to recovery - what nice people you are!

Anyway back to new stuff ........
We have eight new mask designs - all great fun to use in your cardmaking, altered art, journaling, and other forms of crafting. They are inexpensive and a joy to use with sprays, and ink pads and foam, and paints and whatever else you can think of.  You will find them on the CI Website HERE, and I'll pop images of just three of them below, so you can get the idea.




Here are some snippets of what I have been doing with them:


And I have also been decorating some tags:



I used the Beautiful Butterflies Panel Mask in the background of this tag, plus a part of CI-302 transferred to calico using TAP (I will have an article in Craft Stamper soon using TAP), plus bits of old lace and a dangly earring.

Close up:


Then another tag using the lovely Victoria and Albert Swirl Mask, plus CI-347, again transferred to cotton using TAP:


And another close-up:


Both tags started out as printed Shabby Tags before being transformed.

Then I made a card again using the above Swirl mask and our hearts Elements Plate CI-342 - lovely jubbly!



So go on be experimental and lets see what you can come up with!!

Also mustn't forget our four new Matt A4 Image Sheets which you can see if you click HERE.  Two of them I'll pop below -



And I have very quickly made a card with one of the tree images (love these - beautifully photographed by Malcolm!)


I used three masks in the background here - the Butterfly Panel, the Flowers Panel, and one of the Victoria Corners, plus strips of paper and lace and pins.  I also used a sentiment from CI-256.

Do let us know how you get on with your masks.

Before I sign out for tonight I must just show you some very pretty images from a couple of projects you will find instructions for on You Tube.  The projects have been made by JULIE at paperpathway
and the first one below is the cover of a book - and you can follow the 'how to' details at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMV8R6It0bI&feature=plcp


And the second project is an adorable mini book in a box -


Full of CI images!  You will find the full project at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AURUs5wYrxo

So pull up a comfy chair and settle down to enjoy the show!

Bye for now,
