Finest Make

I've been playing with my Stamperia Atelier Collection again, this time I have created a vintage card with a little pocket inside.

I fussy cut some of the elements from the paper collection and created the little pack of vintage buttons and a couple of cotton spools.  I cut the flowers from some of the papers and inked the edges of everything.

Along with the pocket inside, there is also a little flap that opens out.

Santa Please Stop Here

It's time for another Rudolph Days Challenge and this is the card that I have created this month.

I used my Authentique Joyous collection to create a vintage Christmas Card.  Everything is from the paper collection, I used my Sue Wilson Dies to cut the Poinsettias from one of the papers and just added some gems, a scrap of Textured ribbon and a button tied with twine.

I would like to enter this card into the July Rudolph Days Challenge.

There are six beautiful toppers and two papers, I used one of the toppers and one of the papers to create this card, I just added some cardstock and a computer generated sentiment.

Love Builds a Happy Home

Those of you that visit my blog regularly will know that my eldest son moved out at the weekend, he will be starting a new teaching job in September and he and his girlfriend have moved into a new flat together - I created this little folio to give them to welcome them to their new home.

I used the Carta Bella Home Again collection, I have the digital version which means I can print as many of the papers and elements as I wish.

This is the front, back and inside flap, the little house is a Marianne Design die, I cut it from some of the wood grain paper from the Home Again collection.

This is the inside of the folio, there is a flap with some tags tucked in it on the left, the centre panel has a pocket with a card in it and the right side has a small waterfall - there are lots of fabulous sayings in the collection and I used several of them in the waterfall section and also on the card and tags.

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.

Stamperia Atelier

I have created a Sewing themed Folio using my Stamperia Atelier collection, my inspiration came from Kathy by Design again, you can find several projects that she has created with this collection HERE.

This is the front cover, everything is from the collection with the exception of the buttons - my Mother-in-Law gave me lots of buttons recently, there are some lovely vintage ones included in the collection.  I  cut the flowers from one of the papers using my Tattered Lace Flower Forming Dies.

There are three panels in the folio, they are all covered with the gorgeous vintage papers from the collection and there is a pocket on the left hand flap.

This is the inside of the Folio, there are two small shaped cards and a larger card in the centre pocket, on the left hand panel there is a flap that opens up and on the right hand side there is a small waterfall fastened with a vintage Bulldog clip.

This photo shows the flap opened out, the two small shaped cards and the larger card that are in the centre pocket. 

This is the larger card that is in the centre pocket.

Be Good to Yourself

These are another couple of the cards that I have featured in this months Making Cards Magazine, I  used the Yoga Craft Paper Collection.

As usual I have used very little other than the paper collection because the purpose of these cards is to show what you can create using just the free papers.  I have added some cardstock and computer generated sentiments.  I made the card candi myself using the cardstock and some 3D Crystal Lacquer.

I apologise for not being around as much as normal, my eldest son is moving out at the weekend.  He is starting a new teaching job in September and he and his girlfriend are moving into a new flat together, so things are rather hectic around here at the moment.  I'm going with him to pick up the keys and get a few essentials today before they move in properly tomorrow.

You are Mermazing

This is another of the cards that I created for the August edition of Making Cards Magazine, this is the final collection of cards that I have created for the magazine as I have decided to step down from the design team to concentrate on using up all of the wonderful stash that I have accumulated - all I need to do now is stop buying more!

I used the free and exclusive digital Craft Paper Collection - Mermaids, you can download them HERE, all I have added is some cardstock, a scrap of ribbon and a computer generated sentiment.
