Miss Nelly Card

A little card I have made playing around with the Miss Nelly Paper Pad. I will admit to recently 'discovering' the wonders of paper pads. The patterns are scaled down for card making and small projects. I am especially a fan of the Kaiser pads because they come with die cut sheets at the back of borders and tags, plus they include a number of specialty papers which are not in the 12x12 range with glossy and foil accents.
Also on this card I have used a Melissa Francis resin embellishment and a Prima flower (this is a packet I pinched for myself and had yet to open because I was hoarding!) plus some Liquid Pearls in the fussy cut flower centres. TFL!

Card - Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden

Here is a card using the Butterfly Garden paper pad and embellies from Pink Paislee. I have used a few different elements here - Cheery Lynn Doily Die, Ranger Crackle Accents, Liquid Pearls Platinum and Impasto Medium (Texture Paste) with a Crafter's Workshop 6x6" template.

This was the first time I have ever used texture paste so I wasn't really sure what to expect. You can see in the bottom right hand corner a little square of pink paper which I have used the Crafter's Workshop template and texture medium to create the decorative corner/texture. Another surprise was that is dries semi translucent which I was really pleased with. TFL.

Some projects to share.

Been so very busy of late that I haven't had much crafting time.  My mum asked me to make a series of canvases for her so below is the 1st of the series plus card I made using some Webster's scraps and my Sew Easy Stitch Piercer.  I am also working on a mini album for my mum too so that is filling any minute crafting time I get.  TFL

Another little card project.

Here is a little card I have made using some favourite products of mine at the moment. The paper is from Kaisercraft Hunt & Gather paper pad. I have punched out retro flower shapes in Tim Holtz Glassine paper and then scrunched up then layered together. I then cut out a rolled rose using my Sizzix 3D Rose die to go in the centre of the flower. I have mounted one of the ephemera shapes from Hunt & Gather then mounted on chipboard and covered it in Rock Candy to create the aged cracked effect. A bit of hemp twine tucked behind and a small strip of Tim Holtz film strip to finish it off. TFL

Doily Card

Okay, this is not the most inspired card you have ever seen but I wanted to play with the new Cheery Lynn Doily Dies so I whipped up a quick card to see how they looked. This on is English Tea Party - I LOVE it! So much nicer than a paper doily! The patterned paper is one of the sheets in the Kaiser Miss Nelly Paper Pad and the ribbon is seam binding. TFL and hope I have inspired you to take a look at the Doily Dies.  The details on these dies are AMAZING.

Just a little card . . .

I have been playing around with different styles lately and this is my latest.  I have been inspired by this lady's blog

www.papergirlcrafts.blogspot.com

She creates the most divinely feminine white on white projects and her clustering/layering is just awesome!

I have used Martha Stewarts Vintage Floral punches, Liquid Pearls, Seam Binding Ribbon, Webster's stickers & flower centre.  The paper flower I have dressed up using Glimmer Glam with some Diamond Dust sprinkled on the edges.  TFL!

Rocket Age Cards

Here are a couple of cards I have just made using the left over stickers and paper from October Afternoon's Rocket Age. The birthday sentiments are SRM Stickers - such a great way to finish a card when you are in a hurry and don't want to drag out your stamps! TFL
