Make and Send

I popped a couple of the Crafter's Companion Make and Send pads into my basket recently, these are card making pads - the description claims that they contain everything you need to craft and decorate 16 hand-made cards. I like to challenge myself to create something other than the examples that are given, this time I used the All Occasions pad.

The papers, butterflies and sentiment are from the pad, I used my Sam Poole Shabby Basics dies to cut the little doilies and a Tim Holtz die to make the rosette.

For this card I used papers, butterflies and sentiments from the collection again, the envelope is a paper sheet from the pad, you just cut it out and follow the fold lines.  I used my Hunkydory Tag Punch to create the tags and some Sizzix dies to create the flower.

This time I used my Crafter's Companion Patchwork dies to cut the squares from some of the papers, I inked the edges of everything and added a sentiment and butterflies from the collection.

This final card is more the type of card that is suggested in the examples, I have used papers, a butterfly and a sentiment.

Enjoy Life's Journey

I have been going through some of my older stash and decided to have a play with the Sara Davies Nautical Signature Collection from Crafter's Companion.

For this card I have used several of the papers along with some of the dies and stamps, I inked the edges of everything and used foam pads to layer up some of the elements.

It is a long time since I made a twisted easel card so I thought I would make one for a change.  I decided to create a Porthole with a little scene inside.  I used several of the stamps and dies along with some Kraft cardstock from my stash.

I decided on a rustic look for this card, I distressed the edges of the papers and cardstock as well as inking the edges.

This time I created a Tri-fold Shutter Card, I used several of the papers along with some of the dies and stamps.

This is another view of the card showing the inside of the steps

Happy Skies Ahead

Today I am sharing some cards that I created with the Spellbinders April 2022 Card Kit - Happy Skies Ahead.  I am so behind with all of my kits, I really must make the effort to catch up!

Everything that I have used to create this card is from the kit with the exception of the yellow striped paper, I used some of the die cut shapes along with some fussy cut flowers.

Absolutely everything is from the card kit this time - papers, die cut shapes and a puffy sticker sentiment.

For this card I used three of the papers, die cut shapes, fussy cut flowers and a puffy sticker sentiment, I used my Fishtail Flag dies to cut the banners and added a vellum heart, I find the vellum really helps to separate busy patterns without adding lots of cardstock.

For my final card I used two of the papers, some of the cardstock from the kit, die cut shapes and a puffy sticker sentiment.
