Creative Expressions - Dotty Flourish

Just one project today - a lovely Thank You card that uses the lovely Dotty Flourish 3D Embossing Folder from Creative Expressions.

I used a traditional emboss on the back layer, with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide. The green layer is also using the folder. I embossed a piece of wax paper, ironed it onto Faber-Castell Mixed Media paper, and then inked over with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide. At first look you wouldn't believe that the green layer has been created with the folder!! 

The sentiment is Julie Hickey Designs Everyday Sentiment Stamps, and the flowers are Elizabeth Craft Designs 1368 Garden Notes Dahlia.

A Pink Thank You

It's getting to the time of year when lots of people are looking to say thank you to teachers and other school staff. I was asked to make a couple of thank you cards - this is the first of them.

The base is a 7x7 scalloped card blank. I started by adding a piece of pink paper (I think from Kanban Love and Marriage paper pad), and softened it by adding a piece of the printed acetate from Sara Signature Flutterby collection. The outer pink frame (cut with Spellbinders Grand Squares) and the inner pink mat are from a very old Create and Craft Textured Card pad.  

The patterned papers are from pads bought at The Works. I then used Crafter's Companion 5x5 Country Garden Create a Card, to cut the decorative mat from Centura Pearl Snow White card. For the coloured parts, I re-cut the die with pink papers and fussy cut the pieces out. 

The sentiment is Crafter's Companion Classique Only Words, and the circle mount is the centre of Crafter's Companion 6x6 Aurora Create a Card die. I finished off with paper roses from The Range, and organza ribbon. 

Back soon (hopefully)

Internal Box Card

Morning. Back today with another make using the new Create a Card dies. This one is the Flutterby die set - which of course has gorgeous butterflies with it.

So, this one is made from Centura Pearl Snow White Hint of Silver, on the back of which I printed a couple of the green Fabric Papers from Crafter's Inspiration 13. 

I added a few flowers using Die'sire Essentials Flowers for All Occasions 3, and the leaves from the Sara Signature English Country Garden Lazy Daisy die set. The sentiment is Classiques Only Words.

Watch out for the shows on Hochanda coming soon.

Brand New Create a Card Dies

Evening all!! Been a little while since I posted - but have some fantastic sneak peeks to share of the new Crafter's Companion Die'sire Create a Card dies. 

What's different about these, is that they come in two separate parts. So it makes them really versatile. And really helped in creating this K-Card. This particular die is called Spring Garden, and comes with two embellishment dies as well as the two main parts of the Create a Card.

 

As well as the die, I used the largest of the Die'sire Essentials Circles dies, with the Classiques Only Words "Thank You" sentiment. The base is made from Centura Pearl Snow White Hint of Silver card, with papers from Sara Signature 6x6 Shabby Chic paper pad.

Be sure to look out for the launch of these new dies on Hochanda at the weekend.

A Little Thank You

Morning! Am back with another creation using the 5x5 and 5x2 Create a Card dies from Crafter's Companion. This one is a little Thank You box using both the Thank You Sentiment and the Floral Lace Heart die.

I have to admit that the ends of the box needed a little more length on the flaps to stay in properly, but I used the wrap instead to hold them firmly in place.

The box is made from Ivory Double Sided Centura Pearl, and the blue paper is from the Downton Abbey 12x12 Paper Pad.
