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

A Return Ticket to a Moment Otherwise Gone

So, I've been missing in action for the last couple of months. But today I thought I would share with you a gorgeous layout that I created using the "Together" range from MINTAY by Karola.  Every collection I have I just love.

For this layout I loved this photo of my little neice and nephew that my brother took.  I wanted to showcase the photo as it was taken, upside down.  I guess the name of the range Together matches perfectly.  Even though there are flowers throughout the range, the gorgeous muted greeny blue tones with the pinks and oranges means I could use it for boys too.

There is one page (inside cover of the paper pack) of images for fussy cutting.  I cut out a couple of balloons along with the floral wreath and layered them slightly off centre of the matching image on my layout base patterned paper.

I added a largish flower cluster ..... I can't help myself :)

For my title I used Colour Blast shimmer cube in Deep Water to colour the Celebr8 chipboard.  The shimmer cubes are so easy to use.  Add a touch of water and taking my paintbrush added the colour.

 

I really enjoyed putting this layout together.  It is so much fun playing with new paper ranges.  I am quite sure Mintay are on to a winner with these beautiful ranges.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a great weekend...... ours looks pretty spectacular with beautiful autumn weather here in Queensland.
