Old Lace

This is my completed Multi Collage Photo Frame, I shared the individual sections in previous posts - you can find them HERE and HERE.

I decided to change some of them, I didn't like the frames on the two larger ones, even after I had distressed them, so I took them out and also changed the one on the far left - I'm not sure I like it even now, it does look better in real life though!

Happy Easter

I have another Easter card to share today, I have used my Authentique Cottontail collection to create this one.

I love this bunny topper, it comes with the plaid background, I decided to fussy cut the scalloped image, there are always two of each topper and paper in Authentique collections, so that I could pop it up with foam pads to add dimension.  I inked the edges of everything and cut the flower from one of the papers.

Easter Bunny

I have something a little different to share today, I have had this MDF Bunny in my stash for ages and decided that it was about time I did something with it.

I used papers from my Authentique Springtime collection to cover the bunny and fussy cut the eggs from one of the toppers in the Authentique Cottontail collection.  The little bow is an old Die-namics die, cut from another of the Springtime papers.  I added some additional colour to a couple of the eggs and created some grass with a Lawn Fawn die.

Where Flowers Boom

This is the second card that I have created with my Authentique Jubilee collection, it is an Easter collection but this is more of a spring themed card.

I used a topper and three of the papers, I inked the edges of everything and added a seam binding bow.

Home Sweet Home

This is the final card that I have created with my Stamperia Patchwork collection, I am still working on my Mini Album but it will be a little while before I finish it.

This time I have only used one of the papers and several fussy cut elements to create a New Home card.  The flower was cut from another of the papers and the key is one that my husband made for me using his 3D Printer, he sprayed it black for me and I added some gold gilding wax.

Best Easter

I thought I would make a couple of Easter cards this year, we haven't been able to see my Mother-in-Law since before Christmas so I thought I would make her one and I might make some for the Nursing Home that my Mum was in.

I used an older Authentique collection called Jubilee that has been in my stash for some time, I love the vintage images and papers in this collection.

I really like this sentiment, the main image and papers are from the 12 x 12 collection but the sentiment is from the 6 x 6 collection.

Love, Laugh, Smile

This is another card that I created with my Stamperia Patchwork collection, it was going to be my husband's Valentine card but I didn't get it finished in time!

I used two of the papers and lots of fussy cut bits and bobs, I inked the edges of everything and used foam pads to attach all of the elements.

The Best Things

This is the final card, for now, that I have created with my Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian collection, it is another small card - I wanted to use some of the smaller elements.

I created the little tag by fussy cutting a label and a flower from one of the papers, I layered them up with another of the papers and some dark green card stock.  I also used several more of the papers and lots of fussy cut flowers and an umbrella.

Life is like ...

Sorry, I haven't been around for a few days, I don't seem to have much enthusiasm for anything at the moment!  I did manage to have a play with my Stamperia Patchwork collection and make a couple of cards though.

I used several of the papers along with a frame and a fussy cut topper, I also fussy cut the little tea bag and the sentiment.  This is a fabulous collection, I am also in the process of creating a Mini Album with it, it's taking ages though!

French Patisserie

Another small card created with my Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian collection again today, it is A2 size again.

I have used two of the beautiful papers along with a topper and a couple of the postage stamps, I trimmed the edges from them.  I also used some dark green card stock and fussy cut the flowers to embellish.

I'm so pleased and rather relieved that I had my first Covid jab yesterday, I was just about to get lunch when I received a phone call from the Doctor's Surgery.  They had some leftover vaccine and as they are unable to store opened vials, they said if I could go straight to the local vaccination centre I could have my jab - needless to say, my son took me straight there and I was in and out within ten minutes.  I had convinced myself that I would have to wait until my age group was being vaccinated, probably not until at least mid April, but I must have been bumped up into the group with underlying health conditions because of the medication I take for my Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Decisions, decisions!

I have another make that I have created with my Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian collection, this time I have made a Double Gatefold card, my inspiration came from the Graphic 45 Blog.

I cut around the outside of half of the beautiful image so that I could place half of it on one side of the gatefold and half on the other.  I also added some fussy cut flowers to embellish - everything comes from the collection.

I used several of the smaller cake images to line the inside flaps and used another large topper to decorate the centre - this was not the easiest card in the world to photograph!

Enjoy the little things

I have been playing with my Graphic 45 - Cafe Parisian Collection again, this time I have created a smaller A2 size card.

I have used two of the papers, a topper and several of my favourite fussy cut elements, everything has been layered up using foam pads for dimension.

I'm rather jealous of those of you that have snow, we have a very light sprinkling down here but I would really like to have a decent amount, neither of our dogs have seen snow and I would love to see what they will do, I think they would love it.

Night Owl

I have created another vintage style card using my Stamperia Cosmos collection, there are some wonderful images and papers in this collection, many of them suitable for masculine cards.

As on my previous card using this collection, I have distressed and inked the edges of everything and cut a flower from some of the papers.

Parisian Patisserie

I am sharing a card today, I have used my Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian collection.

I have used two of the beautiful papers along with a topper and several postage stamp Cut-Aparts.  I found some matching card stock to cut the flowers from and added some pearls to the centres.

Home Decor

These are the other three pieces that I have made to go in my Multi Collage Photo Frame, I have used my Stamperia Old Lace and Atelier collections.

For this one I used the Old Lace collection, I fussy cut the images and layered up a couple of the papers.

The papers on this one are from the Atelier collection and the fussy cut image is from the Old Lace collection, as before I have inked the edges of everything.

This is the Old Lace collection again, the envelope is one of the elements, I made it up and added a little tag and a topper.

Chase the Moon

I have a card to share today, I have used my Stamperia Cosmos collection to create a vintage style card that I think would be good for a man, I know my eldest son would like it.

I have used two papers, a topper and a sentiment from the Cosmos collection, the strip of wood grain paper is from the Craft Consortium Wood Textures collection, I also cut one of the leaves from those papers, the other leaf and the flower have been cut from the Cosmos papers.  I distressed and inked the edges of everything and added some twine from my stash.

At last

At last I have something to share today, I have been working on some home decor over the past couple of days, I am going to share it all over a couple of days because there are lots of photographs and I don't want to bore you by sharing them all at once.

I have used my Stamperia Old Lace collection to create several pieces to place in a Multi Collage Photo Frame, it will be placed in our bedroom when hubby has finished decorating.

These are the first three pieces, I have been doing lots of my favourite fussy cutting.

There are lots of beautiful papers and toppers in this collection, I created the background for this one by tearing strips of paper and inking the edges before attaching a distressed doily along with some toppers and flowers.

I think I will distress the surround on this one before I put them in the frame.
