Paper Rose Perfect Pairs Paper Collection | Scraps

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose.

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

After my first card using the Perfect Pairs collection I had alot of little pieces of paper. This card is purely made up of those papers.

Strips of paper were cut at 1.3cm wide and vary in length. 

 
Product List Below 
I used the So Extra Black 1.0 sentiment pack as these cards were a last minute sub-in and now discontinued. So I have linked the All Occasions Sentiment 22339 set which really is the set I mostly used. I had the So Extra on a retreat to use up.
 
 
This card is a mix of scraps and cut pieces. Glued down after working out a nice composition of colours.
 
 
 
Main panel is cut at 8.5cm x 13.5cm adhere to the far right edge. Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches aren't a big thing here in Australia but the image was soo cute and in the So Extra pack there was a perfect sentiment of "Hands Down, best ever" I personally have never tried it but it was soo cute I couldn't help myself. :)
 
That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.

Moving Along With The Times | Floral

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Altenew. This month's theme is "Floral" on the blog Moving Along With The Times and who else does floral better than Altenew.

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size 9.3 x 13.7cm (3 5/8 x 5 3/8) 
Matt 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 
 
 
 
Product List Below 
 
Leaves - Moss 
Flower Centres - Paper Bag
 
 
 
I stamped and used 3 flower images and cut off any areas that were coming off the edge of the cardstock. These pieces were used to fill in other areas of the card panel. All flowers were raised up with foam tape. The sentiment shadow was cut out 3 times and layered up to give more dimension as it would of been much harder to apply foam tape and still have it higher than the flowers again.
 
 
I hope you join in on this months challenge. I look forward to seeing your creations.
 
Thank you for your time.

Altenew Level 3 AECP with Michelle Lupton

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Altenew

My friend Michelle Lupton, as part of the Altenew Level 3 Education Program, taught a free online class last weekend.


 

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 



I love both of the cards but I think this one is my fav!

Watercolour background, heat embossed on vellum and coloured using Copics


 For the second card we used coordinating stencils for a rainbow flower. It is a much softer flower.


It is hard to see in the photo we used an embossing folder to give added dimension. I used Altenews Ribbon Embossing Folder. Michelle had a much more geometric folder which I didn't have.

 


 

That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.

New Designer Craft Addiction UK | Cottontail

Hi All, 

 Today's card is using products from Craft Addiction UK. 

My friend Louise Dunne has made her first stamp set and it is super cute. Louise and I were on a Design Team together and when I went to Europe last year we had to meet. She sent me this set but unfortunately due to the postal system... somewhere it was late for the release so I'm playing catch up.

 


Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 
Feature Panel Size 9 x 12.8cm (3 1/2 x 5) 
 
Product List Below 

Craft Addiction UK Cottontail but for Aussie Peeps you can find it here 
 
Copics Used
BG49, BG13 and BG11 
BV04, BV02 and BV01
 
 
This background die is the postage die from Gummiapan however, I decided I just wanted the inverted  scallop on one side. I have left the stitching detail on all edges. 
 

A fairly clean and simple design with a little texture on the bunnies, this was made using small very light flicks. Darker colours in areas where there would be shadow and placed close together and slowly getting less and less. If you want a video of this technique let me know.
 
That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.
