Lovely Xmas

Hi everyone, for my DT post at Cherish The Memory this week I have been playing with the beautiful Studio Light Collections.

My base layer I added a sprinkling of Frantage for an extra snowy feel and added some die cut snowflakes from white glitter card.

I arranged my images into a collage and layered on with foam strips for extra dimension.

I layered on all my elements and added some spider ribbon. Finishing with accents of glitter glue and a diecut Star.

Christmas Stories

Hi everyone, today for my DT post at Cherish The Memory I have been playing with the gorgeous Mintay papers and Ephemera sheets that are now stocked in their Etsy Shop.

I started by tattering my two base layers and inking at the edges. This was layered onto my card with accents of cheesecloth for a shabby feel.

I added fussy cut elements and diecuts to form my topper on my card.

Finishing with a festive floral arrangement and lots of snow and glass glitter.

I started by die cutting out my Christmas Crackers using my Tonic Die. Next I matted and layered my Mintay papers onto my Crackers adding some ink to the edges of my layers and a little sparkle from a glitter pen.

My front images were layered onto die cut snowflakes adding a Metal Charm and glittered twine.

Finishing with some pretty ribbon and lace at the edges of my crackers.

Memories Captured - Craft Consortium

Hi fellow bloggers and thanks for stopping by. Craft Consortium have launched a new range of paper pads called Essential Pads and they certainly are when you see them. I have been playing with two of these pads called Wood Textures and Vintage Emporium which are amazing.

Today I have been using both these pads on my latest 3D project. I have made a couple of these photo cubes in the past, one which has photographs of myself as a child on them which you may remember. They are fun to make and with all the amazing photographs in the Vintage Emporium Pad I knew I just had to make another one.

This one is made slightly different as I bought a pack of 4 wooden drinks mats to form my cube adding a square of chipboard onto the top and bottom. Next I edged all my corners with Washi Tape to help strengthen and give a neat edge. My dark brown papers are from the Woodgrain Textures Pad and were tattered at the edges and some brown ink added to them and glued in place all around my cube.

My newspaper styled paper and photographs are all in the Vintage Emporium Pad. I built Matt and layers onto my photographs using my Wood Textures Pad, tattering and inking the edges. These were then layered onto cheesecloth and doilies to add more vintage touches.

Finishing with lots of pearls, inked flowers, butterflies and embellishments from the Always and Forever Collection.

Craft Consortium Products Used-

Vintage Emporium Essential Paper Pad

Frosty Moments

Hi everyone. Today for my DT post at Cherish The Memory I have been playing with a selection of the Studio Light Pads and Decoupage Sheets available in their Etsy Shop.

After making several Festive cards I had a collection of elements left over and thought it would be fun to mix them up a bit. My rabbit and Christmas baubles I built up in the decoupaged layers and added some snow, glass glitter and some fine glitter for lots of sparkle.

I mounted onto some glitter card for more sparkle and dark coloured card to help my design all pop.

Little Fawn Christmas Baubles - Craft Consortium

Hi Everyone, for my DT post with Craft Consortium I have been playing with Christmas Baubles from their MDF range which also come with a handy Christmas stencil.

I decided to use the latest paper pad on my Baubles called Little Fawn and Friends which is every bit as beautiful as all their other pads.

I started by fussy cutting out all the images I wanted to layer onto my Baubles.  I sprinkled some chunky white Embossing powder onto my trees and heat set for a wintry feel and edged my animals with a little distress ink.

I then gave my Baubles a coat of Gesso and once dry I applied a layer of Decoupage Paper onto both sides with Mod Podge Matt. Once dry I sanded my edges to make it nice and neat and added a layer of Mod Podge Sparkle for a glistening effect. I added some metallic Embossing powder at the top of the Baubles heat setting in place and rubbed some Rose Gold Gilding Wax over the surface and around the edges for a metallic feel.

Now onto the fun part of layering up all my elements with Silicone Glue to create small scenes.

Finishing them off with glitter ribbon and these exquisite little pine cones, along with lots of sparkly glass glitter.
