Let Love Grow

Today, I am sharing some cards that I have made using the Crafter's Companion Natures Garden Wild Flower collection, this is such a pretty collection

For my first card I have used the Mailbox Flowers Die and Stencil Set, the flowers are dies and the little wrap is created using the stencil.  I have used two of the papers, cutting the hexagon shapes from one, the sentiment is a stamp from the collection.

I used the embossing folder from the collection for the focal point on my second card, I coloured it with Copic Markers and added a die cut frame.  I used three of the papers along with my Stylish Swirls Create-A-Card die, I added a stamped sentiment and die cut butterflies from the Flutterby collection.

For this card I used two of the papers, the Mailbox Flowers Dies and a stamped sentiment from the Wildflowers collection, I made a little envelope to put the flowers and sentiment in and added some more of the die cut butterflies from the Flutterby collection.

For my final card, I used the hexagon dies again, this time I cut them out of one of the papers and placed a different paper behind.  I used the Mailbox Flowers Dies again along with a stamped sentiment from the collection, the butterfly on this card was fussy cut from the Mintay Wing Fussy Cut Book

Farmlife

I have created another card with my Mintay Farmlife collection, I have used different papers this time and lots more of my favourite fussy cutting.

I like the gingham papers in this collection, there are several different colours.  I cut the little fence from one of the woodgrain papers using one of my very old dies, the Marianne Creatables LR0205 and this time I used the Square Scribble Frame from Tonic.  I distressed the edges of the papers and added a sentiment from my stash, another very old item, this time from Craftwork Cards.

Life is Beautiful

I have finally concluded my battle with Dyson and had time to play with my Mintay Farmlife collection.

I have been fighting with Dyson for over two months since my V11 Cordless decided to stop working, it as still under warranty, they now have this remote diagnostic and repair service - well that certainly doesn't work very well!

They wrongly diagnosed the fault, sent the incorrect part, lost the filter from my V11 when it was returned to their workshop, no replacement filters available, sent more replacement bits that did not have a filter, replaced the V11 with a new V15 that had a fault, eventually, replaced V15 with a V11 Outize which actually works but is so heavy I can only clean one room at a time because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I give up, I don't think I will be buying anything from Dyson ever again!

Anyway, this is the card that I created.

I used several of the papers from the Farmlife collection, I distressed the edges for a country feel.  All of the flowers and bits and pieces were fussy cut from the collection and I cut the frame with my Tonic Studios Circles Scribble Frame, the sentiment is from Hunkydory.

Suntastic

I have created another card using my Mintay Suntastic collection, there's nothing wrong in dreaming is there!

I love the gorgeous colours in this collection, I have used two papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and fussy cut the elements from the 12 x 12 paper pad.  The sentiment is from the Cardboard Sticker sheet and I cut the flowers from some of the papers using my Tattered Lace Fleurs dies.

Chill Out

Can you tell I am dreaming about warm summer days, the only trouble is, when summer arrives I will be complaining about the heat - there is no pleasing some people!

I decided to use my Mintay Suntastic collection to create this card, I used papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and fussy cut the elements from the 12 x 12 paper pad, the sentiment and little banner are from the Cardboard Sticker sheet.  I used my Tattered Lace Fleurs dies to cut the flowers from some of the papers and added a twine messy bow.

I haven't spent much time crafting recently, it is so cold me and hubby have been lighting our wood burning stove and sitting in the warm reading and watching films - it makes a nice change.

Relax Time

This is another card created with my Mintay Day by Day collection.

As before I have used two of the papers and a frame but this time I have used several fussy cut items, there is a whole sheet of bits and pieces to fussy cut.  I die cut the flowers from another of the papers and the leaves were fussy cut from one of the papers, I also added some Hunkydory pearls and a sentiment from the cardboard sticker sheet.

Love to Read

I have seen lots of slimline cards on blogs recently, I also watched a video by Alicia from Paper Craft Secrets so I thought I would have a go at creating one - I used my Mintay Day by Day collection.

There are always two sheets of toppers in Mintay collections, on the reverse there are lots of different frames, I cut out one of the frames and fussy cut the book image from the topper sheet.  The flowers were fussy cut from one of the papers and the sentiment comes from the cardboard sticker sheet that is available separately, I layered everything up with foam pads to add a little dimension.

Stop thinking ...

This is another paper pad that has been languishing in my stash, it is the Mintay Dear Diary collection - I have lots of Mintay pads so you can expect to see more in the near future.

I used one of the beautiful toppers along with some of the lovely papers, I inked the edges of everything and die cut the flowers and leaves from the papers.  The sentiment is an older Crafter's Companion Sentimentals stamp and I added some Hunkydory Glittering Gemstones to the centre of the flowers.
