Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

Yesterday on our Facebook group Come Crafting With Jill & Gez, Jill & I we did our monthly live crafting session. We do this on the first Saturday of the month.  We set a monthly challenge and this is drawn in the live and we send a small prize to the winner. Why not join us next time. 

This month the theme was retiring favourites.  I have used a die set I love and an embossing folder as well as some ribbon that are all retiring. They are great for vintage projects and that is what I am making today.

Measurements and Materials

  • I used some corrugated card from a Stampin' Up! shipping box as the base of the frame
  • I used gold and copper embossing powder to give it a gilded finish
    • I mixed the colours so that it looked aged
    • I over heated in laces so it dulled to again add to the aged look
  • I added some brown stazon to add some more aged look
  • I used the Ornate Floral embossing folder on a 1/4 sheet of Crumb Cake card stock
    • I used an aqua painter to wet the edges and then tore off each side to gve a rough edge
    • I then used Soft Suede and blending brush to ink over and give the aged look  
  • I die cut a frame from Ornate layers and heat embossed in the sae way as the corrugated card layer
  • I added my parents wedding photo
  • The whole thing was finished with a ribbon


Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-)

Time for the closeups!


I have used my parents wedding photo for this project. I thought this vintage look went perfectly with the 1950s wedding photo. I just love this picture 💜

This is the prototype I made using a photo from the internet. This would make a lovely topper for the front of a journal.

Jill's Easter Basket

Jill made a 3D project for a change! A lovely Easter basket for some mini eggs wrapped in SU colours, how cool is that?!
