"Lovely" cards | Mintay Papers

Hi Everyone

I have been going through my creations of late and realised that I haven't posted some of them, yes, that is why there are two for today.

Working full time and then trying to fit everything else in to the remaining time sometimes things get forgotten.

My share here is several cards that I created using the Lovely collection of papers from Mintay Papers.

Enjoy :)

The first card was a special order for a special lady. The card was 6x6" and came with a decorated envelope. For my sentiment I also incorporated some foiling using the GoPress and Foil Machine.

These cards were a set for a class that I did at Bella Paperie. I even had to take a photo of them on display at the store because Debra always displays everything so beautifully.

Again the fussy cutting and layers of flowers and embellishments have really showcased these beautiful papers.

I hope these have inspired you to find some 'me' time to enjoy what you love.

Enjoy your week

7th Heaven Card Set - Mintay Papers

Happy Tuesday Everyone

I don't know if you are like me but there is one company paper company that just takes your breath away everytime they release new ranges of paper. I absolutely love Mintay Papers and can't wait to get my hands on every new range when it comes out.

One of my absolute favourites still is 7th Heaven. The pinks and blues are just so...... ***sigh***.

So today I thought I would share with you three cards that I made using the collection. I loved them so much I found them very difficult to part with, but rest assured they went to homes where they will be loved.

And here are a couple of closeups as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

If your local papercraft store is not stocking Mintay Papers ask them to check them out. I am sure they will love them as much as we all do.

Until next time.... happy crafting.

7th Heaven Card Set | Mintay Papers

#anitaenright #mintaypapers #scrapbooking

Hi Guys

I thought I would share a class that I taught at one of my local scrapbooking stores.

Using the gorgeous paper range 7th Heaven from Mintay Paper these cards were really well received by my class.

Included with the paper packs are a gorgeous sheet of images which were fussy cut for use on the cards. Not many people like to fussy cut, but I love it and find it very relaxing.

I even managed to use my Couture Creations GoPress and Foil machine for the sentiment.

The range has beautiful shades of pink and blue.

Enjoy and happy creating....

LOVE Makes All Things Grow

#artdecocreations #couturecreationsaus #ultimatecrafts

Welcome to the weekend everyone. I hope you all get to create some time over the weekend.

Anita back with you again today sharing with you a very quick and easy layout using very minimal product from the C'est La Vie collection.

For today's layout I used the 12x12 paper pad and the ephemera pack along with a chipboard title also from the collection.

To start today's layout I chose the Ivory cardstock from Ultimate Crafts. This is such a lovely cardstock to use and the array of colours available is amazing.

I took my "Definitions" background stamp from the L'Aquarelle collection and stamped randomly around the edges in a brown in that matched the papers. I then chose a second stamp from my stamp and added some more stamping to fill in the gaps.

Next I selected two pieces of patterned papers from the 12x12" paper pad. The two strips measure approximately 9 1/2" x 2". I mounted these on some of the Carnation pink cardstock. Next I ink around all the edges in a matching brown, the same at I used for the stamping.

Next I mounted my photo on to some of the Paper Bag coloured cardstock. My photo was printed on my Canon Selphy and I left a white border around it rather than mounting the photo on ivory/white cardstock. I adhered some matching pink lace from my stash to the reverse of the photo that I had also mounted on to some chipboard to give it more depth.

I chose several flowers from the ephemera collection along with a tag, some leaves, a couple of butterflies and the banner strip. Before permanently adhering the photo to the page I placed all the ephemera pieces under and around the photo and then attached them all down.

Using my 'wink of Stella' clear pen I added some glittery accents to some of the ephemera pieces.

Finally I covered the chipboard with some of the gorgeous Rose Gold Vintage Matte foil. It matched in beautifully. The chipboard set also has a couple of little flowers with it. I also foiled these and included them in amongst the ephemera.

"Say Cheese" | Couture Creations

Hi Everyone,

With the end of 2017 coming to a close I thought I would revisit the THE RITZ

collection by Sue Smyth.

I wanted to aim for a more male orientated theme with this photo of my brother Mark and his son Thomas. The colourings in the photo fitted perfectly with the collection. I think I hit the

nail on the head, so to speak.

So, to start I chose the papers that I wanted to use with the photo, and cut the stripe at 6 1/2" along the horizontal and attached it with some double-sided tape on top of the other paper.

To hide the seam I cut a 1/2" strip of some of the Obsidian Ultimate Crafts Cardstock and attached it over the seam of the papers as shown in the next photo.

Taking the Art Deco Tag decorative die from the collection I cut two die-cuts. I then trimmed them down to two pieces shown below.

Working from the outside edges, left and right, towards the centre, I adhered the trimmed down die cuts. The two middle pieces will overlap but this will not matter as my photo and other embellishments will be placed over the overlapped die cuts.

From one of the papers in the back of the paper pad I cut one of the border strips and added it underneath the 1/2" piece of black cardstock that I had earlier adhered over the

seam of the patterned papers. Using the Classy Flower decorative die cut one in the Obsidian cardstock. I cut this in half and attached it to the top left of the page.

Using the Evening Cocktail 6x6" paper pad I took the gold stripe paper and die cut the

Next I chose 4 of the mini gears from the chipboard set and using the Champagne and Midnight Black heat activated foil applied it to the chipboard.

Using a couple of other matching papers from the "Theatre" patterned papers I created three banners, each mounted on to some of the black cardstock.

My photo was mounted on black (it already had a white mat around it when it was printed). I wrapped some white and black twine around the photo. Next I took the three banners I made and attached them around the bottom half of the photo.

I added a paper doily from my stash underneath the die cut Otis doily and attached it to the back of the mounted photo. I then adhered the entire piece to my page.

I added some bling from my stash and then placed the gears to the page.

I added clusters of flowers and other embellishments to the bottom left of the photo, added a title and it was finished. Not too girlie at all I don't think :)
