"Christmas Festival Card Set" with Mintay Papers

 Hi Everyone

I love teaching card classes at my local store and one of my favourite ranges to create with for my classes is Mintay.  Everyone knows me for my fussy cutting so their fussy cutting sheets are perfect.

Using the Fall Festival paper range I created a card set of Christmas Cards.

 

 

It was so nice to create a set of cards that didn't use traditional Christmas colours of Red and Green. 

The burgundy teamed together with white, beautiful cafe latte colours and gold made this one a very popular kit. And even more so I had such a great time creating the cards.

 

 

The cards were created using the 12x12 paper pack (only used 1 set of the papers with spares) and the fussy cutting cut apart sheet.  It was teamed with gorgeous gold mirror board from Couture Creations and 'Juneberry' coloured cardstock from Bazzill.  The gorgeous die cuts were the small mistletoe die from Paper Rose and the Christmas sentiment dies are from Creative Expressions.

 

 

Other kit inclusions were the flowers and white seam binding which was coloured with a matching ink for a couple of the cards.

 

 

 

 Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy whatever you create.

Harmony by Mintay Card Set

Hi Everyone

I love teaching card classes at my local Papercraft store and am known now for my love of fussy cutting.  Mintay Papers have the most beautiful papers to fussy cut and this range and I love creating this card set with the Harmony range of papers. This ended up being a very popular class and why wouldn't it be with such beautiful papers to work with.

I used both the 6x6 paper pad as well as a couple of 12x12 papers for these cards. The frame dies were Spellbinders and the gorgeous leave were from the Find Paradise range by BEE ARTY.

 Here are a couple of close up of the 5 cards.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Don't forget to keep the craft alive.

"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.

 

"Marry Me" layouts with Mintay Papers

Happy Easter Saturday Everyone

Whilst many of us are celebrating the special time of year, I thought I would share with you two special events in my life that I captured in my layouts both using the recently released paper collection "Marry Me" from Mintay Papers.

For my first layout I have created a wedding page using one of my favourite photos from our wedding.  My girlfriend was out photographer and I am unsure what she said (or her husband) to get these amazing smiles on both of us.

 I fussy cut one of the patterned pieces of paper, MM-03, using the top and bottom patterns and then mounted the two pieces on 3D foam dots and then attached them to a piece of snow white cardstock.  I prepared my white cardstock by adding some texture using Colour Blast Colour Paste in Steel and Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Snow White. 

 

The 'love' chipboard I used Colour Blast's Shimmer Cube in Dusty Charcoal to colour it and the chipboard sprays coloured in Stormy Weather Shimmer Cube.

 

 

I mounted the photo on some chipboard pieces, tucking behind it lace, some fussy cut pieces from the 12x12" sheet and some gorgeous paper flowers.  Finishing touches was some 'clear' Wink of Stella pen over the fussy cut pieces to give it a little shimmer.

 

For my second layout I loved the photo of me with my goddaughter Amanda on her 21st birthday.  We have a wonderful bond which as they age slowly diminishes but the love is always there.  This photo just shows the between us that still exists years later.

Again I used the same paper range and you can see it just doesn't have to be wedding photos that it is used on.

 This page uses lots of the images from the fussy cutting sheet.  I don't know about you but I find fussy cutting therapeutic and they are so great for layering.

I hope you liked my share and hope it inspires you to create and if you haven't done so already, find  your local Mintay Papers stockist.  You won't stop at buying just one of the ranges. They are also great for cardmarkers as the paper come in a 6x6" pad as well.

Ciao for now.

Happy creating

Anita
