"Loveland" Collection Card Set

Hi Guys

I thought I would share with you a card set that I created using the Scrap Boys Collection LOVELAND. It is such a pretty collection with lovely pinks and purples teamed with green.

For this set I used 1 set of the 6x6" paper pad. In each of the pads there are four sets of six papers which is great. I also used the fussy cutting or cut apart 12x12" sheet.

Before creating card collections using the fussy cutting sheet I always cut out every image so that I can great the cards quicker without having to stop and cut out the images I want for each card. I find it keeps the ideas flowing if I have everything I need ready to go.

For Card 1 I used a tall card base rotated on it's side for something different.

I used a gorgeous metal die from a Spellbinders set, along with a clear strand of pearls, unbranded flowers and some white seam binding that I coloured using a matching ink pad from my stash. I find just having white seam binding as a staple in my collection very handy as I can then colour it to match my creations.

Card 2 was created using a 5x7" card base. Again I used a Spellbinders die, coloured seam binding, clear pearl strand, flowers and heaps of fussy cutting. On al these cards I also used my shimmer pen in clear to add a nice light sparkle to the images without being over the top glittery.

For Card 3 I used an A6 card base, again using the same products as the previous two cards.

There was plenty of bits and pieces left to keep going with more cards.

Thanks for stopping by

My Favourite Photos of You

Hi Everyone back here today to share with you another creation using the gorgeous RAMBLING ROSE collection form Ultimate Crafts which has just been released.

For today's creation I have used so many of the beautiful butterflies that cover the patterned papers in the colletion.

To start I have taken a piece of the Ultimate Craft cardstock in Snow White. From the 12x12" paper pad I have used the wood panel paper. There are two options in the papers, one with just the wood panels and one that has a lovely floral border along the bottom. Because I wanted the focus to be the butterflies I have stuck to the simpler plain wood panels.

From the wood panel paper I trimmed a piece approximately 5" vertical and adhered it to the left side of the white cardstock.
I chose a square photo and mounted it on a piece of the Obsidian cardstock. I added a heart doily from the Ooh La La range to the back of the photo mat.
From the ephemera pack I chose one of the thin borders and after working out where I wanted to position my photo cut the thin border in two so that it edged the wood panel paper and finished right to the edges of the top and bottom of the page.

Next I fussy cut heaps of butterflies from the patterned papers. Using some of the pigment powders in the coral pink and purple and a water pen I changed the colours of the inside of the butterflies.

I added some of the 2.5cm and 3cm Tie Dyed and Jewelled flowers to both the top and bottom left side of the photo and then I scattered the butterflies up the seam of the patterned paper, some of foam tape and some just glued down. I kept a couple of the butterflies aside to just add to other spots on the page once I had completed it.

I inked up a title and adhered it to the bottom right edge of the page. Finally I added some pearls to the butterflies.

Stop and Smell the Roses | Artdeco Creations

Hi Everyone,

Today I am showcasing my first layout using the newly released RAMBLING ROSE collection by the talented Sue Smyth.

I can honestly say that I love this entire collection but I totally fell for the patterned paper I used in this layout the beautiful white doily background with the yellow and pinky peach hues and the black outline of the roses. And I had the perfect photo for it too.

To start I took my patterned paper and tore approximately 5" strip from it and adhered it across the centre of my white cardstock base. I used some washi from my stash and ran a strip along the bottom edge of my patterned paper.

Next I took a black and a matching yellow spray/spritz splattered some over the page, both the white cardstock and over the patterned paper.

After matting my chosen photo on some white cardstock I cut a piece of other matching patterned paper slightly larger than my matted photo and inked the edges with black ink. I then adhered it to the layout. I mounted my matted photo on some cardboard to add further dimension.

Now to embellish the layout. I added a flower cluster to the bottom left of the photo using some of the Couture Creations white flowers along with some of the rose diecuts from the CARDMARKERS collection pack. I also added two butterflies from the diecut sheet and a small title to the layout.

To finish the layout I added the gorgeous cream resin swallow and some of the grey and peach coloured pearls.

I'm Still Strong Enough

Hi fellow crafty friends! Here again this time to share very special card with you.

I was asked to make a 'card' for one of my work colleagues who was going into to hospital. She had just been diagnosed with bowel cancer and a fellow Facebook friend posted a quote on her timeline that she loved and said it resonated with her . She asked me if I could 'make her a card' using the quote so she could put it on her bedside table whilst she was in hospital.
I don't think she expected getting this.

To create the card base I cut a 12x12" piece of Ultimate Crafts Snow White cardstock at 7".

Next I scored the cardstock at 3", 4 1/2", 7 1/2" and 9" and then folded along the score lines. The large panels will measure 3" in size and the smaller folder 1 1/2" in size.

I then added the Floral Fancy patterned paper to the cardstock base and inked the edges in a matching green ink.

I cut two of the Tassles die from the Magnolia Lane collection in Cypress Pine Ultimate Crafts cardsock, one a mirror image of the other, attach them to the two outside panels of the card.
I then took two of the magnolia flowers die cuts from the ephemera set and attached the over the top of the tassles.

To the underside corners of the quote, behind the green and pink cardstock, I added Magnolia Corners dies in Snow White cardstock.
I printed the quote on to some white 250gsm paper and then double mounted it on to some Cyrpress Pine and Carnation cardstock then attached it to the middle front panel of the card.
To the underside corners of the quote, behind the green cardstock, I added Magnolia Corners dies in Snow White cardstock.

I deconstructed two of the Cottage Pollen flowers to only use the centre two layers of petals. I then added some of the Flamenco pink coloured Liquid Drops 3D Pearls to slightly colour the white flowers. These were added to the top corners of the two back panels with a couple of other flowers from my personal stash. To the corners of the quote I added some of the Pink Blush pearls in the corner of the quote.
You will see I have used some butterflies over the card. Unfortunately I had run out of the ones from the ephemera pack so I ended up fussy cutting the ones from the packaging of other embellishments from the collection. If you didn't know I had done it you would never have known.

I felt very privileged to have been asked to make this for her, and truly hope that she likes it. Hopefully by reading the quote every day it will help give her the strength and the positivity to get through the trying times she has ahead in beating this horrible disease.
