The Sea is calling ...

This is the second card that I have created with my Authentique Voyage collection, this one is a bit more shabby that the other one that I made.

I distressed the edges of the papers and I decided to tear the bottom of the two smaller layers, the tag and small sentiment are both from the collection.  The little lifebuoy is a die from the Sara Davies Nautical Signature collection - I cut it twice, once from some pale woodgrain paper and again from some red, both from the collection, I then snipped four pieces from the red die cut and layered them onto the other one.  To finish I added some rustic twine and some hand made card candi.

Spring Celebration

I have created another card with the Hunkydory Spring Celebration collection that was the Club Gift this month, I decided to create a Z-fold card.

I used one of the beautiful printed card stock sheets, I cut a piece from the bottom to create the smaller section of the card and fussy cut the bunny and the lamb.  I fussy cut the sentiment from the packaging and used a sheet of adorable scorable as my base and to back everything.  The butterflies are from the Dovecraft - Butterfly Kisses collection.

Set Sail

I saw some nautical cards created by Alicia McNamara on YouTube, she had used a Twitchit Craft Kit but I thought I would use my Authentique Voyage collection to create something similar.

I used three of the papers along with a topper, I used my Die-namic Fishtail Flag dies to create the banner and I cut the little Anchor using a die from the Sara Davies Nautical Signature Collection, I cut it from Kraft card stock and added a little gilding wax.

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.

Celebrate Spring

I have created a card with the latest Hunkydory Club Gift called Spring Celebration along with some bits and pieces from the Dovecraft Butterfly Kisses Collection, the colours in these collections complement each other perfectly.

There are patterned papers to go with the Spring Celebration collection as well as the usual patterned card stock, I used four different patterned papers/card stock sheets, a topper and a sentiment, I also added some purple Adorable Scorable card stock.  The flowers and butterfly are from the Butterfly Kisses collection.

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.

Birthday Butterfly

This is the final card that I have created with my Stamperia Spring Botanic collection, I have lots left though, plenty to make some more in the future.

I used four of the papers along with some pink card stock and inked the edges of everything again.  I used one of the beautiful toppers, there are so many of them, it was difficult to choose which one to use, the sentiment is another one from my Lisa Horton Crafts Wordage Sheets and I used my Tattered Lace Fleurs Dies to cut the flowers.
