Just a Note...

Afternoon All.
Back with a quick post today to share a little notelet set I made using some of the card from the Crafter's companion Thelwell Kit.

I added some Centura Pearl Card and blue card to make the box and card bases and used just one of the design sheet to create the toppers. A little bit of ribbon and Card Candi, and that's it - job done! Great for a last minute gift.

Hope you like it!

More Thelwell Inspiration

Morning All!
Just popped back with some more Thelwell inspiration. I love this papercraft kit and its fabulous images!
First up is a DL card where I added a punched border, twine and gems.

Next is an A5 card with an acetate front which really shows of the fabulous design cardstock behind the topper.

Then how about making one of the little rocker cards and decorating it with flowers and punched leaves...

Hope you like this little selection.

Bye for now

Morning All!
Did you manage to get your Thelwell Collection from Create and Craft yesterday? Such a fab assortment of Norman Thelwell's images for us to craft with!
Today I'd like to share a little easel card I made, perfect for using up those left over scraps of card and toppers from the paperkit.

I made the easel card using the Die'sire Chantilly Circle die cut from Centura Pearl and decorated it with a scalloped circle of patterned card stock, a topper, sentiment and a small piece of border for a stopper. I then finished off with gems and flowers.
Hope you like it!

Horsing Around with Thelwell

It's here! The day of the launch of the Thelwell collection by Crafter's Companion. Make sure you tune in to Create and Craft for this Four Day Deal to see all the fabulous inspiration to get creative with these new products.

Today I thought I'd share how great the images are with a simple fold back card made with one of the patterned pieces of card stock included in the paperkit which I edged with a punched border of red card. I then cut a scalloped square mat for my topper and added that to the fold back. I carried the punched border theme on with a lacey punched strip down the length of the card to bring the design together before adding a sentiment and some Card Candi. A really simple but effective card where the products speak for themselves.

Hope you like it!
Back soon

Thelwell Rides Again!

Back today with another sneak peek from the Thelwell papercrafting kit by Crafter's Companion, due for launch on Create and Craft tomorrow.

This time I have used one of the patterned card sheets and a topper to create an easel card. I focused on the turquoise blue in the design and teamed it with some matching plain cardstock to cut a lacey mat for the topper using the Die'sire Oval die. The addition of some flowers, punched leaves and a sentiment finished the card.

Anyway, hope you like it...and don't forget to tune in tomorrow to Create and Craft at 8am so that you can get your hands on this fun, fab horsey collection!

Thelwell Sneak Peek

Morning All!
Back again today with another Thelwell card. Love this collection!
Here are two cards using one of the concept cards from the paperkit. The first is made as the concept card, the second is to show how you can just use one part of it and add it to the fornt of a card. I added acetate to make the trophy 3D.

Hope you like them. Don't forget to tune in to Create and Craft at 8am on Monday where the lovely Sara from Crafter's Companion will launch this fab collection.
Best wishes and bye for now

Thelwell is nearly here...

Exciting news to share today...
On Monday 9th Feb at 8am, Crafter's Companion will launch their latest CD collection on Create and Craft. The fabulous Thelwell themed CD, stamps and papercrafting kit is such fun to work with, and once you see the samples, you're going to want to order a set of your own.
I was lucky enough to work with the paperkit which is the lovely Hunkydory quality we all know and expect, so I thought I'd share one of the 8x8 cards I made using the pink and purple themed cardstock and images in the pack.

Hope you like it...I'll be back soon with more to share.
Best wishes and bye for now
