Card Papers 5x5" sq used

 Hello Paper Artists

Two cards using the card paper collection again as well as the

 Cut & Creates on the insides of the cards

The white flower is embellished with gold foil; holly berries & leaves are added & a burgundy organza ribbon with satin edges is tied in a bow & the ties are glued & looped to add depth.

This is the inside of the card.

Belly bands in burgundy with gold sparkle ribbon are added to each side. Word Art printed on vellum is added on each band.  The Santa image is from the Cut & Creates, the burgundy tag is from the side of a card paper & the cream tag is from the collection.

The 2nd card also uses the Card Paper collection.

This cover really needed no embellishment.

I tied a cream organza ribbon around the centre of the card & had a fluffy bow

On the inside of the card, I did 'some' embellishing - maybe too much. I think I had started a mini album & then changed my mind.

Both sides used a frilly die which I cut on burgundy cardstock & added pearls

The left side of the card used 2 images from the Cut & Create collection; the word art is foam mounted; holly berries & leaves are tucked under the word art.

The right side of the card has a piece from the side of the card paper foam mounted to allow a burgundy tag to insert.

There is a 1/4" spine on the card to allow the foam mounting

Coming up next - some mini books - you know I had to do some of these.

Christmas Gift Tags in Burgundy with Cream

 Hello, everyone!
It's Nancy back with a new project share!

This is another fun idea for using the new Christmas Collection:

 Burgundy with Cream

This time I have made an assortment of Christmas gift tags:

Aren't they pretty?

This is such a beautiful collection of papers and elements!

The tag base in the top center of the photo, is one of the printable elements.

I simply cut it out, and layered a Santa image on top of it. 

This collection has lovely touches of gold throughout.

To bring out the gold, I have added a layer of Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.
To finish the tags off, I punched a hole and added a piece of gold cording.

They've all been left blank on the back,

offering a place to add names and messages.

Below is my favorite image! 

The finished tag measures 4"x 4".

That will give you a good idea of the size of all in the photo. 

Any of these tags would certainly dress up a Christmas gift!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

  Hello everyone,

Leanne here with you today and I would love to share a Christmas project with you. 

I have created a Christmas wall hanging using the latest digital patterned papers from Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy Store. 

The papers are called Christmas in Burgundy with cream. 

My wall hanging is constructed from heavy cardstock as the base. I then selected a sheet of digital patterned paper from the Burgundy with cream collection. This deep rich burgundy sheet was adhered to the base. 

To decorate I chose lots of ephemera pieces from the cut and create sheets. I have fussy cut the pieces then inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink before arranging each piece and fixing them in place. 

 

I added lots & lots & lots of embellishments - after all it is for Christmas. 

Layers of lace were added for that feminine touch. I then decorated a stick from the garden, this is used to hang my creation.

All in all I am very happy with how my project has turned out, it's now ready to display for Christmas.

So why not try your hand at creating your very own Christmas wall hanging this year; a wonderful project to display each year. 

Be sure to stop by Meg's Etsy Store for these papers and to check out all of the varieties of digital papers on offer.  

Wishing everyone a safe and Joyous Christmas.

  Hello everyone & welcome!

Leanne, back with you today and I am sharing another card that I have created using the "Lavender & Mint collection". 

These gorgeous digital patterned papers are available from Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy store. 

I have made a large card; it measures 11.5 x 21 cm when folded. This card would be wonderful as a Birthday, Engagement or as a Wedding card.

Simply make:

For the card base you will need a piece of white cardstock that measures 29.5 cm wide x 21 cm high. 
I have scored along the wide section at 9 cm, then at 20.5 cm, fold then burnish each score line.

Front panel:

Cut a piece of green cardstock to 8.5 x 20.5 cm, distress the edges of the paper with a distressing tool,
ink using distress ink: old paper, then adhere to front panel as shown.

Cut patterned paper to 7.5 x 19.5 cm, distress, ink using distress ink: milled lavender, then adhere to green cardstock.

Cut image from the cut & create sheet. Add a strip of gold & purple papers to the image as shown before adhering this whole piece to the centre of the front panel.

Inside panel:

Cut a strip of green cardstock 2.5 x 20.5 cm, distress, ink and adhere as shown. Add a length of lace to green cardstock.

Cut a strip from the patterned paper 6 x 20.5 cm, distress, ink and adhere to card. 

          

To embellish the front of my card I have fussy cut my butterflies from an ephemera piece, then fix each butterfly in place with glue. Next add some lace and string of pearls as shown.

I have punched out 6 small flowers from some patterned paper. The flowers were shaped, inked then fixed in place.

To finish my card I have added some stickles glitter glue to the rose image & small flowers.

Until next time.

Happy Birthday to You

Hello everyone & welcome!

Today, I Leanne want to share with you this Special Occasions card.
It was made with the delightful digital paper set "Lavender & Mint #MG501."

I have created a Centre step card.  

My card base was created using plain Lavender coloured cardstock.

I then cut a piece from one of the digital patterned papers, this has adhered to the centre panel. I have inked my papers with Tim Holtz's distress ink called Milled Lavender. 

Next, I die cut a piece of green cardstock, raised this with some cardboard before adhering it in place. 

I then die cut a piece of patterned paper, cardboard was added, before fixing to the die-cut green piece.

I have fussy cut the image from one of the cut & create sheets, this was adhered using 3D foam tape.

My butterflies have been punched out of some offcut pieces from the patterned papers.  

I don't like to throw any paper away as the scrap pieces are ideal for die cut & punched out shapes.

My card has been embellished with die-cut & punched out shapes, jute twine, lace, decorative trim and self-adhesive pearls.

Stop by Meg's Garden Papercraft Etsy Store for these digital papers & to see all of the wonderful paper collections on offer.

Please keep stopping by to see all of the Design Teams creations & inspirational projects.

We would love to hear from you also.
