Rue Des Fleurs fabric

The fabric on this card is simply a little ruffle around the central image to highlight the feminine aspect of the picture.

The image is mounted onto one of the new label shaped Framelets for the Big Shot.

The card is finished off with some pleated satin ribbon, and also a lovely edge created from the Edgelets and the Adorning Accents - both done on the Big Shot.  I would love to teach you how to do this if you like it - simple contact me to book a workshop or party on my EMAIL address here.

Fabric leaves

This card features some fabric leaves - the leaves were made by adhering the fabric to cardstock, and then running it through the big shot to create the leaves using the leaves #2 die, and then put through the big shot again using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder to create the dotty texture.

The edges of the square card stock is roughed up a bit using the cutter tool with the distressing edge, and then the card is completed with some coordinating ribbon, and a simple greeting tied on with  linen thread.

Inside, one more little leaf!

Tea Shoppe fun

Another card featuring fabric - this time as the tie to put it all together. 

The stamp set is Tea Shoppe, one of the new stamps from the new Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue.

And inside some more lovely tea cups.

This card is just so appropriate for my darling husband, he loves his cup of tea!

Fabric Thanks

I've been having fun using fabric on projects lately, and here is one I teamed with the gorgeous Riding Hood Red pleated satin ribbon to create quite a simple but nevertheless lovely card.

The greeting is from Petite Pairs, and the frame is Elizabeth.  This is all framed on a topnote from the Big Shot, and then embellished with some flowers made from the Blossom Party die for the Big Shot and held together with a regals flower brad.  The piece of fabric underneath the Top Note is actually the piece from which the flowers were cut.

Baptism Card

This week at Just Add Ink Colour challenge  the colours are Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Whisper White - Which are EXACTLY the colours I was doing for my niece's baptism card - because I knew she would be wearing a lovely lemon Christening dress.  What an amazing coincidence!

This card is 5" x 5" to fit into the square envelopes.   I have stamped the envelope to coordinate with the card - using Special Blessings (retired) and Baby Prints.

The background paper is Attic Boutique which I put through the Big Shot with the Petals-a Plenty folder, and then used the debossed side.

Embellishments are the white organza ribbon, a so saffron flower brad, and half a paper daisy inked and then some sparkle added with dazzling diamonds.

A couple of pearl jewels finish off the greeting mounted onto a punched shape using the modern label punch, and the designer label punch cut in half to use as a backing piece.

The ink used for the cross is daffodil delight, and the hand prints are so saffron.

Vintage Torn Frame

I really love vintage scrapbooking, and I love to scrap some of the everyday things we do (even though I often forget to take photos of those little events) - so here's a page to combine the two - eating pikelets for breakfast while camping, and doing some vintage scrapping too!  This is also the theme for this months challenge for Just Add Ink - Just Add Vintage/Heritage and this is my entry.

I have used a torn frame for my featured photo, and the paper is Flirtatious which coordinates with the stamp set Delicate Doilies which I have used in the background.

I used the Simply Scored tool to create my floral medallian.

Most of the stamping is done with Soft Suede - which is my favourite ink as it gives a sepia effect, and it can transform most images into vintage just by the addition of some sponging !

Finally the little punched flowers created using the Boho Blossom punch all have a lovely little pearly jewel in the centre - as does the butterfly body.

Big Shot Timeless Type

This weekend I made a baptismal sash for my niece, and what a great opportunity to use the Big Shot to make a quick and easy project.

I've used the Timeless Type alphabet, and the Flirtatious Fabric.  The fabric had the adhesive added to it before cutting out the letters on the Big Shot, and then the words were added onto the sash!
