Oriental cards with Kanban toppers

Oriental continues to be a popular trend in card making, deservedly so when you look at these two beauties with paper flower brooches made by Angie!
For the first card, Angie used an oriental floral paper as the background.
She also added card embossed using a Cuttlebug script embossing folder to the background.
The second card features sumptuous Kanban black glittered acetate on a black card background.

The Kanban oriental maiden, blue topper sheet that Angie used to create these two cards is pictured above. A bargain at only 45p, and containing 9 toppers.

New Dufex die cut decoupage designs

Dufex has just released some gorgeous new die cut decoupage designs, new in store at Foil Play.

As the sheets are die cut, no scissors or cutting are required - all you have to do is pop out the shapes and layer them up with foam pads or silicone adhesive to create stunning toppers for your card and craft projects.
There is a selection of fantasy designs, some of which also feature on Dufex postcards or toppers, including wolves, unicorns, Native American girls and fairies. There are also four new oriental lady designs.
New to the Dufex range of Freestyle die cut decoupage are the delightful Victorian children design above and an Art Deco ladies sheet.

Each die cut Freestyle sheet comes in a sealed pack, which also contains an instructions and ideas sheet and contains a great selection of pictures, borders, panels and greetings, plus lots of extra embellishments.

You can choose different elements to use together on a project, or combine them with other craft products to create your own distinctive designs.

New peel off sticker sheets

I've added some new peel off sticker sheets to Foil Play today. New sheets include:

• borders and corners;
• Christmas designs;
• oriental designs; and
  
• religious designs
  

These snowflake borders are available in white or silver, there are also some new holly border sheets in gold and silver.
I've restocked some of the most popular oriental designs, including these gorgeous dragons, available in a choice of colourways.
Peel off sticker sheets are a inexpensive yet a very versatile addition to your crafting stash. For hints and tips on getting the best out of them, check out this previous blog post.

Chinese Papercuts

I've just listed these beautifully delicate, vibrant and detailed handmade Chinese papercuts. There are several packs to choose from:

• butterflies;
• chinese scenes;
  
• deer;
• insects and flowers;
• lanterns;
• tigers; and
  
• vases.
  

The papercuts are coloured on both sides, ideal for card making. Try them laminated to use in aperture cards for stunning effects. Alternatively, stick onto a card blank by using a dry glue stick onto the card blank, then lay the papercut over the glued area and press down, finishing off any loose bits with some glue on a cocktail stick. These sheets are very intricate and delicate - they need to be handled carefully and used only with dry glue, as wet glue would damage them.

I've also done some housekeeping and tidied up the oriental decoupage section of the website today, to make all of the oriental sheets at Foil Play easier to find.

• Wedding cakes & celebrations

Paper Nation - new Kimono lady decoupage sheets

Paper Nation has produced the popular kimono lady special edition decoupage sheets in two new colourways, yellow and green (in addition to the pink and blue designs already available). There are also two new co-ordinating backing sheets on white, patterned with a selection of oriental objects.

More new peel off designs

I have added lots of new peel off sticker designs to the site this weekend, including oriental, religious, embroidery, Christmas greetings and Christmas designs.

Many of the new sticker sheets are filled, rather than outline peel offs. You can of course apply these directly to your project. Alternatively, you can apply them to decorative background paper or card, then decoupage around the sticker and mount on your project, for added dimension and decorative effect.

New peel off designs

I've added quite a few new peel off designs and updated stock of some favourites too over the past couple of weeks. These include Christmas greetings; Christmas designs; alphabet and numbers; borders and corners; fashion, transport and oriental.
