On my Mind

I created this card with the latest Sara Davies Signature Collection - Vintage Diary, I think she is launching another collection next week, they seem to be launching so many new products at the moment it is difficult to keep up!

I decided to create another slimline card using the teacup image from one of the papers, I die cut it from one sheet and fussy cut it from another so that I could layer it up for dimension.  I used two more of the beautiful vintage papers along with some corrugated card and inked the edges of everything to enhance the vintage feel.  The flowers were cut from the reverse of one of the papers, the reverse sides are all plain colours, I added another sentiment from my Lisa Horton Crafts Wordage Sheets.

A true friend ...

I have another vintage style card to share today, I have used the Sara Davies Vintage Diary Signature Collection.

The main part of the card has been cut from one of the papers, there are three sheets of each design, I then fussy cut the clock and bust again from one of the other sheets and layered them up with foam pads for dimension.  One of my blog friends, Jill from Ribbon Challenged, blogged a card with a pleated detail on it and I thought that it would be perfect for this style of card - thank you for the inspiration Jill.  The sentiment is one of the stamps from the collection and the flowers were cut with my Tattered Lace Fleurs Dies.

Just Because

This is another card that I have created with my Sara Davies Signature Collection - Vintage Diary, I've gone really shabby with this one!

 

I have used two of the beautiful papers, the green one that I have used for the base is from my Craft Consortium Grunge Craft Papers Collection, I have distressed and inked all of the edges and added some gold gilding wax.  The lock, key and sentiment are all from the collection, I fussy cut the post mark from one of the papers and created the flower using several different Spellbinders Flower dies, I added some twine behind it.

Daydreamer

As soon as I saw the new Sara Davies Signature Collection called Vintage Diary, I just knew I had to get it, it's just my type of collection.  However, when it was delivered, I was at a bit of a loss to know what to do with it!  I think the problem is, there are no toppers, there are some stamps but as those of you that know me will know, I'm not much of a stamper!

Anyway, after I'd had a good look through the 12 x 12" paper pad I decided that I could cut some toppers from the papers. This girl reading is part of a paper, I just cut it out with a stitched rectangle die and inked the edges. I used four of the papers and cut the banners using my Die-namics Fishtail Flag dies, I cut the flowers from the reverse of one of the papers and added a sentiment from Lisa Horton Crafts Wordage Sheets.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.
