Z fold card.

Hi there. I hope you are well and enjoying your day. I have decided to share this z- fold card with you all to day, its a folded card i have seen demonstrated on the create and craft channel and thier are lots of examples on Pinterest. It is so easy to make and works well for both male and female cards. I have made this for my dad's 80th brithday. The paper's are from a 12x12 double- sided design pad called It's a men's world. I cut the transport images out of one of the 24 design sheets and distressed the edges with distress ink. I added a stamped sentiment to the back fold and added a personal touch with gold peel off sticker's. Hope to see you soon and keep crafting!!!
Lots of love

Decopatch

Hi there. Thought I'd share with you my first ever attempt at making a decopatch box and guess what I'm addicted. Since then i have covered a small chest of drawers, treasure chest and i have more projects to make.
Trinket box

Chest of drawers​

Treasure chest.

Firstly i took the hinges and fastenings off first then painted the inside of the box in pink acrylic paint. Leave awhile to dry, tear découpage paper in to strips and tear again into small pieces. Glue pieces to box overlapping slightly then seal again with glue. Leave to dry and finish by putting the box together again. I have included a photo of the other two projects done with the same technique.
Lots of love
