Tea Party

This is another card from my final allocation for Crafter's Companion, I have decided to step down from the team because the main focus is now on Dies and I am not a natural die cutter - I really prefer working with papers and digital images.

For this card I used one of the Centre Fold Fancy Card Kraft and the Die'sire Tea Party Create-a-Card Die both of which are the Weekend WOW on Hochanda at the moment.

The papers are from the Downton Abbey 12 x 12" Paper Pad and the flowers are the Die’sire Classiques Delicate Flower Die.

I also used cardstock from the Luxury Cardstock Gold Pack and some Centura Pearl Lavender.

What A Hoot

This is a bit of a sad post for me - I have decided to step down from the Crafter's Companion Design Team.  I have loved working with all of their fabulous products over the past couple of years but as the main focus is now on Dies and I am not a natural die cutter - I really prefer working with papers and digital images along with fussy cutting and decoupage, I felt that the time had come to call it a day!

This card is from my final allocation and uses one of the fablous Die’sire Fancy Card Blanks, this one is the Easel Card - Black.

The main die is the Die’sire Create-a-Card What a Hoot die and the sentiment is the Die’sire Create-a-Card Thank You die.  I have used papers from the Sara Davies Autumn Morning Signature Collection 6 x 6 Paper Pad behind the dies and just added a couple of gems.

Make sure you tune in to Hochanda tomorrow, there will be lots of fabulous inspiration and demonstrations.
