The Most Wonderful Time

I have been making some more Christmas cards, I have used the Dovecraft Winter Wonderland collection to create this one.

I have used papers from the 8 x 8 Paper Pad and a decoupage topper from the Decoupage Pad, I have only used three layers and 2mm foam pads as this card will probably be posted.  I have used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies again and matted the papers with some silver glitter card stock.

Birthday Posies

I've been playing with my Dovecraft Paper Posies collection again, this time I have created a Squash Fold Card, another easy card to create.

I used four of the papers, a decoupage topper and some pink cardstock to decorate the front of my card, I used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Die to cut the little banners .

I used three of the papers to decorate the inside and create the little pop up element, the sentiment is from the new Crafter's Companion Ultimate Verse Compendium, have you seen it, it is so useful and beautifully presented in a gorgeous folder.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely Birthday wishes you left on my previous post for my Son, he had a lovely Birthday topped off yesterday by England winning the football.

Triple Fold Posies

I am having fun experimenting with some different folds at the moment, today I am sharing a Triple Fold Card.

I have used the Dovecraft Paper Posies collection again, this time I used four of the pretty papers along with a decoupage topper on the belly band.

This is another very simple card to create but a little different from my normal square cards.

Finding Paradise

I have another card to share using papers from Dovecraft, this time I have used papers and a topper from the Finding Paradise collection to create a Triangle Corner Pop-up Card.

It is the first time I have created this style of card and I have to say, I was surprised just how quick and easy it was!  I used two of the 8 x 8" papers from the collection along with a topper, the sentiment is an old Craftwork cards one, I fussy cut the little flowers from some leftover papers.

More Butterfly Kisses

I have created another card with my Dovecraft Butterfly Kisses collection, there are lots of toppers and papers in this collection and I'm still on a mission to actually use things up.

Another relatively simple card, I used two of the papers and one of the decoupage toppers - I always end up trimming die cut decoupage, there are always bits that aren't cut very well and the little bits that attach the pieces to the backing need to be removed, I've made a right mess in my Craft Room!

Purple Butterflies

Butterfly Kisses

I saw a video by Sam, Mixed Up Craft, she created a Cascading Gatefold Card and I liked it so much that I decided to make one - it is a lot easier than it looks and Sam explains it really well.

I used the Butterfly Kisses collection from Dovecraft, the same collection as Sam but a different paper, I also used some plain purple cardstock that I embossed with an old Crafter's Companion embossing folder.  Both of the toppers are from the Butterfly Kisses collection and they are die cut decoupage, I also made a box envelope to put the card in using some of the papers.  The Mum was cut using some Hunkydory Moonstone Alphabet dies, I added 3D Crystal Lacquer to make them stand out a bit more.

Spring Flowers

I have created another card with the Hunkydory Spring Celebration collection that was the Club Gift this month.

The floral papers, topper and circular surround are all from the Spring Celebration collection and the green paper, flowers, butterflies and sentiment are from the Dovecraft Butterfly Kisses collection, I think these two collections complement each other beautifully.

Spring Celebration

I have created another card with the Hunkydory Spring Celebration collection that was the Club Gift this month, I decided to create a Z-fold card.

I used one of the beautiful printed card stock sheets, I cut a piece from the bottom to create the smaller section of the card and fussy cut the bunny and the lamb.  I fussy cut the sentiment from the packaging and used a sheet of adorable scorable as my base and to back everything.  The butterflies are from the Dovecraft - Butterfly Kisses collection.

Time for Tea

I have been having another play with the Dovecraft Sweet Moments collection.

I have used one of the decoupage toppers and some of the 8 x 8" papers to create this card.

The sentiment is from another of the decoupage topper sheets.

If you are a regular visitor to my blog you will know that we collected Ramsey our adorable Black Labrador puppy yesterday, he has been such a good boy and is settling in really well.

Love Macarons

I have something a little different to share today, I have been crafting just for fun for a change as I have a little gap in my design team and magazine work.

I have been having a play with the Dovecraft Sweet Moments collection, I love the pretty pastel colours.

I have used one of the decoupage toppers and some of the 8 x 8" papers to create this card.

There are three sheets of each topper so I decided to cut into a second sheet so that I could add a couple of additional layers.  The sentiment is also from the topper sheet.

We will be collecting our Puppy tomorrow, so we are beginning to get rather excited and a little apprehensive - I hope he does not miss his mum and his brothers and sisters to much.

Trinket Box

I have been using up some of my old stash for a change! I used the Dovecraft Couture du Jour collection to create this trinket box.

You can find a card that I created with this collection HERE.

I inked the edges of everything and used two of the decoupage images I also used papers from the 8" paper pad. 

The sentiment is from the co-ordinating stamp set, I stamped it on one of the papers and fussy cut it.

I also lined the little drawer with one of the papers.

Vintage Fashion

I have been using up some of my old stash for a change!  I used the Dovecraft Couture du Jour collection to create this card.

I inked the edges of everything and layered up the decoupage image with foam pads.  I also used papers from the 8" paper pad and a sentiment from the co-ordinating stamp set.

The little accordion heart also comes with the collection, I carefully removed the button and threaded it with twine, before sticking it back on - I really do not like bare buttons.

Family Christmas 2018

I am going to make a conscious effort to do more scrap booking next year so I thought I would start with some family photographs from Christmas day.

I used some Dovecraft Heritage Christmas papers and some old alphabet stickers from my stash.

A very Merry Christmas

I have been creating some simple Christmas cards with my Dovecraft Magic & Sparkle papers, these cards are relatively flat - perfect for posting.

I have used papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and fussy cut the beautiful stag from the cover of the 12 x 12 paper pad.

The sentiment stamp has unfortunately lost is packaging so I'm not sure who is is from.  I hand cut the banner and added some pearls to embellish.

21st Birthday Wishes

This is the card that I made for my youngest son to give Hannah for her Birthday, we went out for a lovely meal with her and her family to celebrate on Saturday night .

I used papers from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Baby Steps collection - it is a baby collection but there are several pretty papers that are suitable for all occasions.

I paper pieced my Woodware Huge stamp and cut the Hannah with Lawn Fawn dies, I cut the name from grey card stock and then again with from yellow so that I could inlay them.
