Thinking of You

Hi everyone, I thought I’d share a card I have recently made as a gift for a friend that has recently gone through heart surgery.

This card uses papers from the stunning range called Summer Garden from Paper Boutique.
It also uses a variety of dies from the John Next Door range.

The yellow flowers and Ferns are both retired dies from Susan Tierney Cockburn.

The Doily is also a retired Cheery Lynn die.

Thanks for stopping by.

Beastie Box

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by my blog today. For my DT post at Craft Consortium I have been creating with the stunning eclectic 12x12 papers and stamps from The Emporium collection to make my Beastie Box. 

The stamps as you can see stamped beautifully and I heat embossed the images adding extra layers for dimension and some glossy accents for a life like feel. I added a little cotton ribbon onto the top of them to make it easy to be lifted out my box.

Please do check out Craft Consortium and follow them on Facebook and Instagram for regular inspiration and giveaways.

Introducing The Emporium

Hi everyone, today for my Design Team post with Craft Consortium I am sharing my first project using The Emporium Collection which has just been launched. As you can see from the photo below this is a stunning collection which includes stamps and ephemera. The papers are exquisite in design and are a joy to create with.

I decided to make a stationery gift box containing cards/notelets with matching 4x4 envelopes.

My card designs I kept to a minimum to show the beauty of these papers adding on some sentiments using the stamps from the collection.

My bug I added some glossy accents on top of the body to give a domed effect.

Here are another couple of pics for you to enjoy.

This collection is available HERE and at most leading craft retailers.
