Heart of Gold

I have another mermaid to share with you today, I'm really enjoying making cards with this Spellbinders Cardmaking kit.

I have used three of the pretty papers, a fussy cut mermaid and seahorse and a sentiment from the kit, the gold stars are also from the kit.

Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

You're Mermazing

This is another card that I have created with my July Spellbinders Cardmaking Kit - Under the Sea Magic.

I have used several of the pretty 6" x 6" papers, I cut three hexagons with my Gemini Elements Stitch Edge Hexagon dies and adhered them to the card base using foam pads for dimension, I then added a fussy cut mermaid along with some gold stars and a sentiment from the collection.

Jocasta Recipe Box

I have taken part in another of Clare Charvill's - My Creative Spirit classes, this time we have created a Recipe/Photo box and a Planner/Photo Book, this is my completed Recipe Box.

There are two classes one on a Friday evening from 6 pm to 8 pm and another on the Saturday from 6 pm until we have covered everything, this one is usually about 2 hrs as well.  In the first of the classes we created the box, Clare provides a comprehensive cutting guide in advance, we then put the box together in the class.

The box has a hook lock closure and metal feet, it opens up and has a little ledge to place your recipe card on when you are using it. I have decorated my box with Graphic 45 Farmhouse papers, it is all ready for some dividers and recipe cards.

Under the Sea Magic

Have you seen that Spellbinders now have a UK Website, no more import fees and there is free P&P on orders over £50, well I just had to take advantage of this and I have signed up for their monthly club kits - I have signed up for the VIP value club that includes all of the monthly kits at a fabulous price.

I have created this card with the July Cardmaking Kit called Under the Sea Magic, the thing that I really like about kits is that they often contain things that would not necessarily be your first choice and it challenges you to try something different - that is certainly the case with this kit.

I have used two of the beautiful 6" x 6" papers, one for the background and the lovely one with the mermaid on as a topper.  I added a sentiment from the kit and fussy cut some seashells from the mermaid paper.  Everything has been backed with gold Mirri and I added three gems that were part of the kit.

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

Sir Vagabond Folio

This is the folio that I created in a recent Facebook Live class run by Clare Charvill - My Creative Spirit, I used Stamperia Sir Vagabond Aviator papers to decorate it, the same papers that Clare used but I used them a little differently.

This is the front of the folio, it is closed with a ribbon.

The next photograph shows the folio opened out, there are three sections and each section has three leaves.

 

This is the left hand section opened out, there are acetate pockets on the two outer leaves and a waterfall section with a deep pocket behind that contains a large pullout.

This is the folio with both side sections open and the centre section with the leaves open, there are large pockets on inside of the two outer leaves.

This is the centre fold out section opened, it lifts up and pulls down to reveal two smaller fold out sections.  In the centre there is another waterfall section with a large tuck spot underneath.

This is the right hand section opened out, it is the same as the left section without the acetate pockets.

I really enjoyed making this folio, Clare is a great teacher and I love the Sir Vagabond Aviator papers.

Perfect Posies

This is the last card that I have created with my Hunkydory Watercolour Garden collection, I still have lots left so I will probably make some more at a later date.

I have used one of the pretty papers, a topper, a sentiment and some of the card stock, the card stock does have a pattern on it but I just used a plain section.  I used a Crafter's Companion die to create the corner and added gold Mirri between the layers.

I will be back in a couple of days to share the folio that I created in a recent Facebook Live class run by Clare Charvill, I am really rather pleased with it.

Beautiful Birds

I have another card to share today that I have created with the Hunkydory Watercolour Garden that is the free gift that comes with the new Hunkydory Diamond Club subscription.

I have used three of the printed papers that come with the collection along with one of the beautiful toppers and a sentiment - it is really handy to have the additional papers with the collection, they make the printed card stock go much further, I used some gold Mirri for the layers.

Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated.
