Hello.

Hi there, I'm quite late with my post today... I've been busy over the weekend, but still managed to make a few quick cards to share with you over this week.... I've been having a go at making cards with washi tape. This is the first time I've actually made any cards with washi tape and whilst looking on Pinterest the other day i was inspired by the beautiful cards I saw on there, this card is based on one of the ideas i saw... hope you like it!!
Thanks for calling in and happy crafting!!

Spring posy.

Hi there on this Friday morning. I can't believe it's the end of another week, it's gone so fast... I have one more card to share with you today featuring the paper boutique. I promise I'll move onto something different next week.... maybe some washi tape cards if I get time?
I thought I would decorate the centre circle with a pre die cut lattice sheet I found in my crafty stash, which i cut to a circle the same size as the former. I mounted this onto my circle then i put a frame around it to finish it off, next I layered my decoupage then finally i found a sentiment to tie in with the whole card. I then assembled all the elements onto the doily then onto my base layered card. I hope you have enjoyed looking at these cards this week as much as a have enjoyed making them.
Thank you for all your lovely comments. I love to hear from you, see you next week.
Happy crafting

Make a wish.

Hi there on this Thursday Morning. This is the card i was meant to share with you yesterday...
I started by cutting two of the largest nesting dies in this set out of white card, on one I creased a small section at the top to act as a hinge. I adhered this to the other nesting piece to form my shaped card base. I cut 2 doilys out, one in red card and the other out of blue card then i adhered the red doily to my card front. I then began to paper piece some of the blue tulip doily pieces back into the red doily. I decorated the pierced centre circle with a sentiment topper, embellished with red and blue small flowers and finished the centres with pearls.

Especially for you.

Hi there on this Wednesday morning. Unfortunately i have got my posts muddled up, so the card i was intending to share with you today. I will share tomorrow instead...yet again this card is from the beautiful paper boutique collection. I can't stop using these dies, the possibilities  are endless. This time i thought I would incorporate the dies on a 8x8ins card and show how they look equally as gorgeous on a larger format.
I started by positioning all my mats on my card, before i adhered the mats down I put foam pads between the green mat and fushia pink mat, then i continued to form my doily. I adhered this to my white mat, along with the circle and the two sentiments, which i put one off set to give it that shadow effect. I finally finished by adding a double winged butterfly from the collection and pearls in the corners to bring it all together.

Springtime tulips

Hi there on this Tuesday morning. Here is the next card I wanted to share with you featuring the pretty paper boutique nesting dies. I believe this set is from the third collection to come out... I started by cutting the largest die in yellow card then the next die down in lime green card to foam the pretty doily shape. I cut the pierced circle in white card then stamped the sentiment in black ink. ( in this occasion I didn't want to use the sentiment die included )  Next I cut a ring to go around the circle to frame it. ( the piercing is still visible around the circle ) At this stage i assembled all the card together then finally I added a glitter foam butterfly from the collection. I think these dies are so versatile. Next time I will share a shaped card to showcase the possibilities of this die collection....
Thanks for calling in and happy crafting.

Paper boutique nesting dies.

Hi there on this Monday afternoon. I have a number of cards to share with you featuring The paper boutique die collection from Creative crafting world. The dies are all nesting and when combined together, give an easy instant card effectively.
I cut the first nesting die in white card then repeated it in red card then adhered together. I cut the doily in half then placed each half along the left and right edges of my a card blank ( 6x6in square) so they matched up equally. I cut two strips of card, the wider being the blue and the white slightly less. I stamped my sentiments at either end of the white stripe in red ink. I backed it onto the blue stripe then adhered it to the middle of my card, were the doilys meet up. I cut one of the fancy butterflies out in red then it's outline in white. I added my butterfly to the middle of the stripe and to complete my card I added pale blue candy to the flower centres of the doily

and paper pierced some centres of the flowers in the butterfly wings. I have more cards to share in this range, please call back to see what else I have achieved with this beautiful collection.

Brusho card.

Hi there on another beautiful sunny day. I thought I'd share this card using one of my brusho backgrounds I already had prepared. I cut Tim holtz's mixed media die out of a square piece of white card then adhered this over my brusho background wih cosmic. I adhered this to my square white base card with foam pads. I finally added a happy birthday sentiment in the bottom right hand corner with black ink. A quick and easy project for even a beginner to achieve.
Thanks for calling in and happy crafting!!
