Concertina Tag Card

Hi all,

Popping on today with another Santoro Willow from Trimcraft card - I am loving playing with this collection at the moment and have a few more cards to show over the next couple of days.

For this card I have taken an A4 sheet of card, folded into 4 and then created a pocket at the bottom to hold tags.







If you have any items from this collection you will notice that the packaging is absoulutely gorgeous. I have taken advantage of this and have die cut all the toppers and their scalloped mats from the packaging of the clear stamps. I've added decoration across the pockets and tags using one of the gorgeous border dies and added a selection of die cut the flowers.

You can find a full product listing at Step by Step guide HERE

Double Card

Hi all,

Back today with another card made using the gorgeous Santoro Willow collection from Trimcraft.

Todays card is basically a card inside a card - I have taken a 5x7 card and trimmed a diagonal section off and then added another card trimmed to 10cm wide to the inside. I think it gives an effective look.






I have gone to town decorating this card - to be honest all the embellishments are so bloomin gorgeous I have been having to tell myself to put the embellishments down and step away from the card lol.

If you would like a full step by step guide and full product listing for this card you will find it HERE

Sugar & Spice

Hi all,

Popping on today to show you a cute little baby girl card I made using the adorable Tiny Tatty Ted range available from Trimcraft

The design is a quarter fold card with cut outs, with another little folded card slotted in.

 


I used the 6x6 paper pad & all the images have been cut out from one of the papers in the pack.

A space on the back to write a greeting and tied together with some fabby polka dot organza ribbon - too cute!!

Mirror mirror

Hi all,

Thought I'd share with you today an upcyled project. For ages I have had an Ikea mirror sitting in my alterable draw and never done anything with it. In my Trimcraft DT kit I was sent some gorgeous decoupage papers and so the inspiration struck.





The frame was white so I didn't have to do anything to it to start with, I covered it all in the torn bits of the decoupage paper and then I cut out the gorgeous lady image from the packaging and added it to the RH side. On the bottom LH side I added a selection of blooms, a feather and wooden bird and them added buttons & cogs randomly across the frame.

I totally love how its turned out.

Tea Cup wishes

Hi all,

Thought I'd pop on and share Gorjuss card with you today - whilst in hospital with madam we took a selection of the Gorjuss items in with us to keep us occupied and this is one of the cards I made.


I kept a very simple layout using the papers and toppers from the A4 collection kit- the fancy piece is actually cut from one of the cards in Card Kit and finished off with acute box and flowers.

Twisted Willow

Hi all,

Today I want to share with you a Twisted Easel card I have made using the fabulous new Santoro Willow range from Trimcraft. Oh my if you have not seen this range yet you are missing out. The artwork is stunning and there are so many gorgeous embellishments within the collection to choose from - you wont know what to choose first.







I decided this card needed to be a kitchen sink kinda card and so used and array of embellishments from the collection - large blooms, wooden buttons & shapes, those gorgeous peacock feathers, metalic pins & sentiment tags and the fabby shiny sequins.

I made a Twisted Easel to help showcase the gorgeous image - the card design itself so simple but looks stunning when decorated up.

Birthday Balloons

Hi all,

Popping on today to show you a card I made using the very fabulous and very cute Belle & Boo collection from Trimcraft.

I created a little Box Stand Card, with a little pull out tag that tucks into a pocket hidden behind the main image.



To make the card a little more secure - as it was a bit front heavy - I added a little stand onto the back of the card for balance.


I really enjoyed making this card & using this fabby collection.

Pocket Card

Hi all,


Today I have a cute little pocket card I made using the fabulous Santoro Mirabelle collection from Trimcraft.



I did this style of card with my classes a while back and have been totally loving the design since - and have made quite a few in different designs.

Its such and easy card to make, but looks so effective and makes it a bit more special having the little tag to pull out with the message on the back.

If you're interested in the measurements - I have popped them on my tutorial blog

In the Frame

Hi all,

So I thought I'd show you today some things I have been creating other than cards. I made myself a couple of framed items a while ago, and after showing them on fb have been having a few orders here and there for them keeping me busy.

Stick Figure Family - personalised with family members and pets


Word Art Heart Frame - again personalised to suit with names/words and colours

Button Family Tree - personalised with names and button colours to suit

I've also been making these as gifts for family and friends and they seem to have gone down really well - they make a fabulous gift and tbh apart from the cost of the frame they aren't that expensive to make.
