Flower Bike Card - CC

 Hi all,

Today is a simple card day. I die cut the gorgeous Flower Bike Card a couple of times then stamped the image onto a sheet of the 12 x 12 pretty papers. I adhered all of these together. I then matted this with the foam tape onto die cut mesh (from the Steampunk range, older collection) and white cardstock. I used Blue Jay cardstock as the card base which is an A5 card. I trimmed one of the cut -aparts for the quote, some bling and it was done.. A simple but effective card I thought and I really like it..   

 I hope I have inspired you

Tag Booklet CC

 Hi all,

As you can all see with my latest makes I am loving the Vintage Tea collection. I decided to combine this collection with dies from my other old favourite collection 'Steampunk'.. 

All measurements are in inches... I cut the base at 8 1/2 in x 5 3/4 in, score at 4 1/8 in & 4 3/8 in, burnish well.  Cut three pieces of white cardstock 3 7/8 x 5 1/2.                                                                  Cut a front panel with the gorgeous paper at 3 5/8 x 5 1/4.   Adhere the white panels to the front and inside of the booklet. 

Cut two pockets at 4 x 3. Cut two mats with pattern paper at 3 3/4 x 2 3/4. Cut two piece of vellum the same as the pattern paper.  Adhere the base pockets to the inside of the booklet only using a little glue on three sides leaving the top open. Attach the patterned paper to the pockets then add the vellum to the that only adhering the top of the vellum.

Cut tags, stamp images and adhere some together.  Place some trim in the holes and place in the pockets. Stamp & die cut the stacked tea cups three times, adhere together to give a nice solid base. Place pearls on bits of the stamped image. Adhere this onto a paper doily on front of the booklet. Decorate as desired.. (have to love the Ephemera Set)


First time using the Precision Stamp Press and to be honest I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use. I was concerned with how much pressure I could put on it but it really didn't need a lot so bonus for my old hands. 







 I hope I have inspired you

Expandable Envelope Pouch - CC 1

  Hi all,

Today I am making an expandable envelope pouch with the gorgeous new Vintage Tea Collection from Couture Creations.. I intend to fill this up with bits and bobs I make for the next couple of months and then I will do a video to show you all of them when I am finished.. I will add the link here when I do.. There are heaps of ideas on you tube, 'Treasured Books' being one of my favourites.

So, I started off with 8 envelopes and trimmed the flap of them all. You can use any envelope of your choosing. I placed double sided tape in the center only, but you can cover the whole envelope if you like. I just like the effect of this with only the middle done.

  

Line the envelopes up and stick together front to back as shown. I added more tape to both the front and back envelopes to have a good bond with the pattern paper. Measure a piece of patterned paper (mine was 12 inches x 8 1/4 inches) having a 1/8th inch extra on the sides of the envelopes. Fold the paper up leaving 1/8th inch for the front of the envelopes.

Fold over the top and decorate as you choose. I punched out a scallop circle and added a big brad, then wrapped twine around the brad and then around the pouch. 




The envelopes were too white so I adhered the strips off the edges of the 12 x 12 paper pages to add some interest.

Vellum Pouch - CC 3

  Hi all,

I am following along with the idea of filling my expanding envelope folder and decided to make a Vellum pouch.. Cut a piece of paper at 4 1/2 in x 7 1/4 in. Score at 5 Inches for the top to fold over.

Cut the wonderful vellum at 5 in x 4 3/4 in approximately. I sewed around the two sides and bottom joining the paper and vellum together to make the pouch. Using a pair of scissors with a zig zag blade I trimmed around the vellum to give more interest. To finish it off I added lace, a quote, button with ribbon and a lovely piece of ephemera from the Vintage Tea Collection using 3d adhesive foam dots. I filled the pouch with scrap strips of the papers.

Vintage Rose Card CC

Hi all

A simple but effective card today. I love the Vintage Tea collection I really do but this 3D embossing folder is special.

I simple embossed the Centered Flowers folder with white cardstock. I place this on a card base of ULT200070 12 x 12 Cherry Cola Cardstock with some sequin  to enhance.. How pretty is this!

Hi Tea Scrappage - CC

 Hi all, 

I wanted to show you my scrap page I created with the wonderful Vintage Tea Collection. My granddaughter loves having high tea parties so we decided to go for high tea for her birthday. This paper is ideal for the photo of us together.. I love doing simple layouts to showcase the beautiful papers and the photo. Some stamping and die cutting was all this needed really.

 I stamped the stacked cups on a few layers to give me some height but added the top layer with the vellum that comes with the collection. I added the actual name of the collection as my heading 😊




 I hope I have inspired you
