In my Thoughts

I have a collage style card to share today, I really like this style and Simple Stories paper collections are perfect for it.

I have the digital collection of these papers so I could print several copies of this fabulous image.  I fussy cut three layers and popped them up using foam pads.  I also printed the little banner a bit larger and fussy cut it to attach across the top right corner.  The sentiment is from one of Lisa Horton Crafts Wordage Sheets, I distressed it so that it would fit with the rest of the card.

Natural History

I'm a bit obsessed with my Stamperia collections at the moment, this time I've been playing with the Spring Botanic collection.

There are lots of beautiful floral and natural history toppers and papers in this collection, I decided to use a gorgeous butterfly topper for this card.  I also used two of the papers, a border and a label, I inked the edges of everything and popped the topper up with some foam pads, the buttons are from my collection of vintage buttons, they are glass flowers but unfortunately they don't show up very well in the photographs.

Blue Blooms

This is the last card, for now, that I have created with my Hunkydory True Blue collection - I'm trying to use up some of my older Hunkdory collections, I have rather a lot from being on their Design Team for some time.

This is another of the larger toppers so I decided to create an Easel Card.  I used a Hunkydory Moonstone Die to cut the shaped edges and cut the flowers with a Tattered Lace Fleurs Die.

Blossoming Bluebells

This is another card created with my Hunkydory True Blue collection, I'm trying to use up some of my Hunkydory collections - I need the space!

I have used one of the smaller toppers and a sentiment from the Deluxe Card Collection along with two papers from the 6 x 6" paper pad.  I added a seam binding bow, a small flower cut with my Tattered Lace Fleurs Dies and a Butterfly charm.

True Blue

This is another card that I have created with my Hunkydory True Blue collection, this time I decided to make another slimline card.

I used two of the smaller circular images this time, I created another circle the same size using one of the printed card stock sheets and added a sentiment using foam pads for a little dimension. The background has been cut from another sheet of printed card stock and I used one of the borders along the bottom.

Thinking of You

I have been making some cards with some of my Hunkydory Collections, I have rather a lot of them, mostly from when I was on the Hunkydory Design Team but I can't resist buying their collections.

I used the True Blue collection to create this card, it is quite a large image so I decided to create a Z-fold card. I used one of the printed card stock sheets, a topper and a sentiment along with some Silver Mirri.

Wings to Fly

I have created another card using my Stamperia Wonderland collection.

As before I have used lots of the beautiful papers, this time I've used three along with a gorgeous image.  I have inked the edges of everything and added a flower cut using my Tattered Lace dies.

Follow your Dreams

I created this card with one of the new Hunkdory Deluxe Craft Pads.

I used one of the papers, a sentiment and a topper from the Lilac Moments Pad, I also cut the rosette and a flower from the papers - this is a really pretty collection with lovely pastel colours.

A Single Dream

I have been having a play with my Stamperia Wonderland collection and decided to create a slimline card for a change.

I have used four of the beautiful papers along with a circular topper, I cut the base layer using my Tim Holtz Deckle Torn Edge Trimmer and used my Die-namics Fishtail Flags dies to cut the banners.  The flowers were cut with Tattered Lace Fleurs dies and I fussy cut the butterfly.

Mum

This is the card that I created for my Mother in Law for Mother's Day.  I apologise for the rubbish photographs, I can't seem to win at the moment - it's either very dark or very bright!

I used papers from Craft Consortium and a decoupage topper from Hunkydory, I added a little verse on the inside - hubby doesn't like anything 'soppy', his word, not mine.

Bloom with Grace

This is the second card that I have created using the Nitwit Bloom with Grace collection from Crafter's Companion, this time I made a Z Fold card.

I used a couple of the papers along with two of the 6" x 6" Die-Cut Toppers, I cut one of them down a little.  I also used one sheet from the 12" x 12" Card Pad and several items from the 12 x 12" Die Cut Topper Pad.

Beautiful Moments

I recently purchased the Nitwit Bloom with Grace collection from Crafter's Companion, whilst I love the collection I think I will purchase the digital set from Nitwit in future, I found that whilst I love paper collections, having the physical paper collection rather than the digital collection really restricts what you can do with it - I didn't realise how much I like to resize things!

I decided to create a Zig-Zag card so that I could use several of the papers, there is a smaller card in the pocket on the third section.

This is the small card that is stored in the pocket, you can add your message on it or perhaps attach a gift card to it.

Wild Safari

This is my first ever 'Bendi Card', I saw a video on YouTube and decided to give it a go - I can't find the YouTube video again so I'm sorry I can't link it.

I have used my Graphic 45 Safari Adventure collection, there is lots of fussy cutting - this collection really lends itself to fussy cutting, there are so many fabulous animals and flowers in it.  This card was quite easy to create and I have to say, I'm quite pleased with it.

Your So Sweet

I picked up a few of the new Hunkydory Snippables and decided to have a play.

I really liked the Camera and this one, the Honey Pot - I'm not sure about the Snippable concept, it took ages to die cut them all and then snip out the pieces that I needed, I think it would be just as easy to fussy cut them - that might be because I love fussy cutting so much though!  The papers are part of the pad that comes with the dies, I punched the borders with a very old X-Cut die.

Lets go on an Adventure

I have created another card with my Graphic 45 Safari Adventure collection, this time I have created a Twist and Pop card.

I used a topper, a tag, a sentiment and a fussy cut on the front of my card and used foam pads to layer everything up for dimension.  On the inside I used two tags and two more toppers on the twist and pop element along with two borders.

Safari Adventure

I decided to have a break from Easter cards and had a rummage through my Graphic 45 collection, I thought I would have a play with my untouched Safari Adventure collection.

I have used three of the papers, a border, a topper and a couple of fussy cut pieces as embellishments.  I used black card stock, inked the edges of everything and cut the flowers and leaves from the Patterns & Solids papers.

Anyone for a Carrot

This is the final Easter card for now, I have a lovely Echo Park Easter collection so I might make a few more in the near future!

I have used another topper and papers from my Authentique Cottontail collection along with a little rabbit that I fussy cut from another topper.  As before I have inked the edges of everything and cut some flowers from one of the papers.
