Mintay Wedding Card

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a 6x4 inch faux shutter card that I've made for a friend's wedding.

I used the beautiful Mintay 'City of Love' 6x6 paper pad, which is full of florals, damask patterns and gorgeous scenes in pinks and creams.

At the front and back of the pad there are some images to fussy cut which I used to embellish my card, popping them up on foam pads for dimension. I also used some diecut white hearts to help separate the patterns, then added the lovely sentiment to the top.

I added a white stamped panel to the back for my message.

Hope you like it :) 

Graphic 45 Platform Pop Up Cards

 Hi All!

It's been a while since I've shared my makes on my blog, so I thought I would remedy that with some pics of some Pop Up Cards that I have made, combining Graphic 45 papers with the Lawn Fawn Pop up Die.

The collections that I have used are Graphic 45 Grow With Love, On the Boardwalk, Botanical Tea and Warm Wishes.

I have included a little video link to my Youtube site here to show you how I made them.

Thanks for popping by!

Good Ole Sport

 Hi All!

I recently had a rummage through my stash looking for images and papers to make some masculine cards, and I chose the lovely vintage 'Good Ole Sport' collection from Graphic 45

There are lots of sports covered in this collection so I grouped some together and tried to theme my cards to Rugby, Driving - cars and motorbikes - and then Golf and Tennis. These are the three cards I came up with, grouping lots of fussy cut elements and having fun creating my collage layouts, then decorating the insides with some of the border strips.

Hope you like them!

 Hi Everyone!

Sorry its been a while!

Yesterday I demo'd at the lovely Gillies Crafts in Ellesmere Port with some of the latest ranges from Crafter's Companion.

Below are just some of my demonstrations for your inspiration.

Many thanks to all the lovely ladies that attended - we had a great day sharing crafty tips and chat!

Mintay 'Little One' Cards

 Hi Everyone!

Just popping by to share a set of little Baby cards that I made using Mintay's Little One collection. I used elements from the 12x12 Pack, and the 6x8 pad. 

The images are lovely and the colours are subtle, so they team up really well with Kraft Card. The card bases are made from Mintay's Fancy Card Packs. I did plenty of fussy cutting and also added some of the images inside the cards. The sentiment is a stamp from Lawn Fawn which I thought fit really well.

Hope you like them :)

Stamperia 'Sweety' Cards

Morning Everyone!

Today I thought I'd share some fold back cards I made recently using Stamperia's 'Sweety' 12x12 papers and chipboards.

The images and colours are fab in this collection and perfect today for all those Mum's who are likely to be eating chocolate and cake, and in memory of all our lovely Mum's who used to love chocolate and cake, as we celebrate Mother's Day here in the UK.

This collection is perfect for so many occasions and I know for me they will make great birthday cards in the coming months.

Hope you like them!

Mintay Lavender Farm Triple Floating Diamond Fold

Hi All!

Today I thought I'd share a Triple Floating Diamond Fold Card that I made with the beautiful Lavender Farm papers from Mintay. This card was made using only the 6x8 Pad which is a great size and still includes plenty of images for fussy cutting. 

Hope you like it.

If you would like to know how to make this style of card, instructions are on my video here of another one I made previously in different papers :)
