A Card For A Friend

I recently made this card for a lovely friend of mine, who is so generous and lovely so I sent her a gift and made her a card, she has received it now so I can show it on here,

I used a book look style die from my stash as the base then layered up some gorgeous papers from Lemoncraft, from the Yesterday collection, these I lightly distressed on the edges,

I lightly wet the top corner of the main paper and then curled it under to look like a bent over page, on the top of this I added some of my handmade flowers using Lady E Design dies Flower 001and Flower 004 with 0.6 pink and white Foamiran,the butterfly is by Lemoncraft too,

On the other side I created some more flowers using the same dies but also using the tiny leaves and the swirls dies as well, I then used one of the clocks by Lemoncraft, I finished off the card with a few paint splatters, beads and some iridescent sequins, 

Happy Crafting!!

Mr And Mrs

Hi it's my last project i'm showing you today as GDT for Sarah who owns her online shop Craft All Day which has a resin embellishment shop included in it,

I have had some gorgeous resins to play with in my DT boxes, thank you so much Sarah, so last but not least is this wedding themed exploding box,

I used the Gorgeous Mintay papers Marry me for the box, these fit in perfectly with the resins from Sarah's shop, I used this fabulous Special Day plaque/sign on the lid then simply added some of my handmade Foamiran flowers around it,

I made a two layered box, which I will show you now,

In the centre I used this adorable Bride, I fussy cut the groom jacket out of one of the Mintay images then adhered it behind the dress, on the front of the dress I added some of my handmade paper flowers, with some more Foamiran ones at the base,

All the chipboards are by BlooMar design and are left in their natural colour,from the  wedding /love - heart 002, Words set 002, set 005 Love/valentines day set - 002, I added some more paper flowers here and there too,

I also used a fussy cut flower image here too,

Yet more fussy cut flowers and a paper flower again are used on this one too,

The back piece has this adorable bird chippie,

I've kept the lower layer fairly plain so not to add too much bulk,

On the front section I've added another of Sarah's gorgeous resins, this time a wedding cake, this I kept in it's natural state, the detail is beautiful,

On this section I made a pocket with the papers, simply adding fussy cut images on the pocket section, I made it for some money or a gift card to be added in the pocket,

On the opposite side I added another pocket but this time I popped a couple of tags in, these can be removed for a verse etc, again some fussy cut images from the Mintay papers finish this side off,

Last but not least is the back section, this has a gorgeous chippie again by BlooMar inside the pocket,

I hope you like the finished box, do check out Sarah's gorgeous resins they are lovely to work with,

Christmas is Coming

Have you seen the gorgeous chipboards by BlooMar Designs? they do some really beautiful chippies including some 3D, anyway this time I want to show you a card I've made using some baubles, Christmas Collection 01

I'm really loving DL style cards at the moment and these baubles looked fab with this type of card,

I used some stampendous Aged ivory on the baubles with some vintage photo on the base one,

The beautiful papers are by Lemoncraft and I created a flower scene above the baubles,

the Foamiran flowers are made out of the Lady E Design Poinsettia and leaves dies, the leaves are made out of paper then coloured with inks,

Wishing You All The Best

I thought I'd show you a card I've made today for a friend, 

I used the gorgeous papers by Lemoncraft from the My Sweet Provence 12 x 12 paper pack and the A4 pad too,

I layered up and distressed a few layers of the papers then created the focal point with a gorgeous frame by BlooMar design, onto this I added some of my handmade Fomiran flowers using Lady E Design dies Flower  001, I used Geletos to colour the flower petals, in Strawberry and Raspberry, 

I fussy cut a banner out of the A4 paper pad and added a touch of white Gesso here and there too,

I finished off with some seam binding in a similar colour then over the top I added some white twine then some tiny beads over the top of this too, the butterflies are lemoncraft as well,

I'm entering this into the Lemoncraft Facebook challenge,

Beautiful Autumn

I love this time of year, the colours are so warm and cosy, I love to create projects at this time of year which include pumpkins,

I bought some pumpkins off the internet which are not to big, but big enough to decorate,

I first painted the pumpkin with some white gesso for the paints to grab onto, then I took some Finnabair paint and let it dribble down the pumpkin, when dry I took some crackle Paste and added some here and there,

I took one of the windows with shutters 2 from Dusty Attic, gave it a little esso treatment then went over with  a text stamp with some Autumnal ink pad, this i glued to the top of the pumpkin,

I painted the stalk of the Pumpkin with some Dusty Attic Acrylic paint in Pesto,

I then added some paper flowers along with a Foamiran flower I made out of a punch, the white one shown above, inbetween the flowers I added some Toadstools again from Dusty Attic, these are painted with Finnabair paint on the tops and Dusty Attic Forrest Acrylic paint on the base,

I added some more Dusty Attic chipboards as well, these being different leaves leafy stem #2 and mini branches #2, these i added some crackle paste to and then went over with some more of the Dusty Attic paints,

I finished off the display with some handmade leaves cut out of watercolour paper, coloured with Lindy's Gang media and cut out leaf shapes from lady E Design, Flower 6 Poppy and leaves 6 Herbs dies,

I'm entering this into the Dusty Attic moodboard for October,
