Daily Routine

I have been having another play with my Mintay Day by Day Collection, I love the combination of soft pink and black/grey in this collection.

I have used two of the papers along with a frame and fussy cut topper, I also fussy cut some flowers and the light bulbs from another of the papers.  The sentiment and fishtail banner are from the cardboard sticker sheet and the pearls are from Hunkydory.

Out with the Old

I have created another card using papers from the Graphic 45 Fashion Forward collection, there are two sheets of each paper in the collection including two sheets of toppers.

I also used papers from the 12 x 12 Patterns and Solids paper pad along with some black card stock.  The sentiment is from the topper sheet and I cut the flowers from one of the Patterns and Solids sheets

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.

You are Beautiful

I created this card with a combination of the 12 x 12 and 8 x 8 papers from the Graphic 45 Fashion Forward collection, it is a small card and will fit into the Concertina Calendar Album that I am creating.

Everything is from the collection, all I have added is some black card stock, I cut the little scalloped border with a Clearly Besotted die -  I love this image, she is very glamorous isn't she.

80th Birthday

Just before Christmas my Mother-in-Law asked me to make a Birthday card for a friend of hers who is turning 80 this month.

Her friend likes Flowers and Pink so I decided to use my NitWit Annabelle Collection, it is full of pretty pink flowers.  I printed several copies of the flowers so that I could fussy cut them and layer them up using foam pads, the sentiment is from the DigiStamp Boutique, I changed the colour to match the papers and cut it out with a Hunkydory die.

Fashion Forward Calendar Album

Some time ago I purchased a Calendar Concertina Album Tutorial from My Creative Spirit, there are several options available and I chose the The Calendar Version of the Twelve Pocket Concertina Album.

This is the front of the January Calendar insert.

I though I would make up one the Calendar Inserts each month, hopefully I will complete the entire Concertina Album by the end of the year.

This is the inside of the Insert with the calendar and an ephemera card inserted into two small pockets. 

This is the inside with the calendar and ephemera card removed from the pockets.

This is the back of the Calendar Insert.

That's January completed, lets hope I manage to finish the other months and the Concertina Album by the end of the year.

Christmas Gifts

This is the card that I created for my eldest son, he lives on his own but he is in our bubble so he spent the Christmas break with us.

I used my Carta Bella Christmas Delivery Collection, I think this collection is perfect for masculine cards - I have the digital collection so I could print several copies of the gifts and layer them up,  I computer generated the sentiment.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, I had a little break from blogging for a while - it was just me, hubby and our two boys for Christmas this year, I have to say it was rather nice just the four of us for a change, very relaxed and a lot less work.
