The Riverbank

Hi everyone. Craft Consortium have recently launched the most exquisite new craft collection called The Riverbank which contains a 12 x 12 paper pad, stamps and pretty embellishments which you can check out HERE.

My card today uses the new paper pad along with their amazing non shed Glitter Card. I used Spellbinders 3D vignette die by Becca Feeken. I started to cut out papers from this collection which was the hard bit as so many gorgeous ones to choose from.

I next started to fussy cut a lot of my Riverbank animals and layered them up to give a 3D Decoupage appearance. I added some glitter onto the wings of my dragonflies to compliment my glitter in the background.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Backpack Adventures - Cherish The Memory

Hi everyone, today for my DT post with Cherish The Memory I have been having fun with their Ephemera and 3D Decoupage Sheets from Studio Light.

I started by cutting out my Spellbinders die from Becca Feeken in Kraft Card adding a layer of paper from the Memories of Summer pad to the background.

For my centre image I used the 3D Decoupage sheets layering with Silicone Glue and inking my layers at the edges. I added a mixture of media’s onto my flowers.

On my top layer I edged with a pretty lace for extra detail and added some more Ephemera die cuts and paper flowers.

I do hope you feel inspired to try a card similar to this using the Studio Light Collection.

Vintage Postcard

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by today to see my DT post for Cherish The Memory. Their Etsy Shop has a lot of amazing new products just arrived form Studio Light and today I have been creating with the new Memories of Summer Collection.

My card today uses one of the beautiful 6 x 6 papers. I used the Hemstitch Rectangles from Becca Feeken to add a little detail onto the paper and to bring your eye to focus on my 3d Decoupage in the centre. Adding a couple of flowers and a postage stamp from the Ephemera sheets. I love how my card has a vintage postcard look to it.

Craft Consortium-Wildflower Meadow

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog today. Did you see the beautiful new Wildflower Meadow Collection on Create and Craft last week by Craft Consortium? Unfortunately it sold out but the good news is it will be back in stock on the 25th April at Create and Craft on their show at 8am GMT.

Today I am sharing some more inspiration with these gorgeous papers on my card using Becca Feekens 3D Dies. The weight of this paper pad is great for these cards, as is the fantastic non shed glitter card which I used as an accent for a little sparkle and both die-cut so well.

I love how you can build a little scene too by fussy cutting aspects from the pads.

Adding some pretty embellishments from the Always and Forever Collection to finish and a wild flower topper from the paper pad.

Happy Mothers Day to my Mum

Hi everyone, today I am finally able to share with you all my card for my wonderful Mum on Mother's Day.

On this card I have used Spellbinders new range of Dies from Becca Feeken, please check out her amazing blog HERE.

These flowers are so easy to make and very effective. I used Lemoncraft papers to make my flowers, inking at the edges to add some definition to them and some Stamens into the centres.

I heat embossed the edges of my vintage picture with gold embossing powder and added a layer of gold glitter card from Craft Consortium into my layers and gold foliage stems to also compliment the card.

My butterflies were fussy cut from my Lemoncraft Ephemera Sheet, available from Cherish The Memory and I added some bling into their centres.

Finishing with a stamped fussy cut banner wishing my Mum a Happy Mother's Day.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, your visits are always appreciated.
