Alice

I have created a notebook folio with my Stamperia Alice collection this time, I still have a few papers left along with lots of journal cards but not a lot else!

Above is the front cover and below you can see the inside of the front cover and back of the the right hand flap, I have inked the edges of everything to go with the vintage feel of the papers.

This is the folio opened out, there is a small pocket on the left that has a card in it, you could add a gift card or just a message to the recipient, in the centre there is a larger pocket that contains a notebook, bookmark and tag, on the right side there is another pocket that houses some journal cards and another tag.

This is a close up of the items that are in the pockets.

You will be pleased to know that I will be having a break from my Alice collection and will have something Valentine related to share tomorrow.

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.

Mad Hatter’s Tea Party

I have something a little bit different to share today, I'm still using my Stamperia Alice collection but for a change I have decorated a shadow box.

I have two copies of the Stamperia Alice collection, the original and the new Gold edition so I cut down one sheet of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party scene and adhered it to the base of the shadow box, I then fussy cut the main characters from the other collection and adhered them using foam pads for dimension.  I also fussy cut lots of cups, a teapot, the cat, some playing cards and a couple of sentiments to decorate my shadow box.

I've had nothing ...

I'm late with my post today, my eldest son is home for the weekend and I like to spend as much time as possible with him, he lives alone and we are his support bubble.  He is a teacher and is working at school one week and then teaching from home for a week, he comes to us on alternate weekends after he has been at home all week.

This is another Stamperia Alice card, don't worry, I've nearly used up my paper pads!

I have used lots of paper and border scraps to create the background and I fussy cut the sentiment and tea pot from a couple of the toppers.  I inked the edges of everything and used foam pads to add some dimension.

Take some more Tea

I hope you're not getting bored with my Stamperia Alice makes, I'm determined to use up some of my many paper collections.

I only used one of the papers on the front of this card along with a scrap from another sheet, I cut down one of the frames and fussy cut the Mad Hatter and Dormouse having tea so that I could pop them inside.  I also fussy cut a sentiment, flower,  playing cards and little heart.

For a change, I decided to add a pop up on the inside of my card, I used two papers, two borders, lots of playing cards, a couple of tea cups and another fussy cut image of the tea party.  I'm really having fun playing with this collection, there are so many fabulous images and bits and pieces to fussy cut.

I shall be late!

I am sharing another card that I created with my Stamperia Alice collection, this card reminds me of a day out we had when our children were young, we went to an Alice in Wonderland themed park and there was a person dressed as the white rabbit, he looked just like this one - my eldest son, he was only about three years old, was terrified!

I used one of the blank frames and fussy cut the white rabbit and lots of other bits and pieces including the tag - there are so many images to fussy cut, I have been spoilt for choice.  I used two of the papers on the front and another on the inside, I also inked the edges of everything.  I think I might give this card to my eldest son, he is twenty five now and is also always late for everything!

White Rabbit

I have created another card with my Stamperia Alice collection, it was inspired by Kathy by Design's card kit that is available from the Button Farm Club.  It is an easel card with a little step at the front, I'm not sure what it is called - an easel step card perhaps.

I have used several of the papers along with a topper, there are also lots of fussy cut bits and bobs.  I have inked the edges of everything and layered the elements up with foam pads for dimension.

Time for Tea

I have been watching some more YouTube videos, I often have YouTube running in the background while I am crafting - there are lots of talented Crafters sharing fabulous projects and I saw a video featuring a Card Kit created with the Stamperia Alice collection, it is by Kathy by Design sold through the Button Farm.  Unfortunately Button Farm is in the US and the shipping costs are horrendous so I thought I would make some cards of my own inspired by Kathy. 

I used the Gold Alice collection, the same as Kathy, there are 22 sheets and they are printed on one side only so you don't have to waste any of the gorgeous papers or toppers.  I used one of the beautiful frames along with two papers to create this card, I fussy cut the tea pot, cup and flower from some of the papers along with the Drink me sentiment. 

I decorated the inside of my card with more of the papers and another frame that I cut down a little, the little tea cup is another fussy cut.
