Once more this card was designed by Hayley Gillie, I am never sure where to start with a card structured like this so I am very glad of the template.
The stamp set is Bordering on Romance, coloured with marker pens and blender pens. The flowers have been enhanced with pearls and embossed butterflies complete the card.
Another gift box courtesy of Hayley, don't forget you can visit her blog here.
The image taking pride of place is from Bordering on Romance and is enhanced using marker pens, blender pens and pearls. The various layers of the box have been die cut using the framelits, one has been embossed with a coordinating folder and another is cut from Twitterpated designer paper.
Does this look familiar? It's a new take on the thank you card that I made for Alice to send after her birthday, you can see the original post here.
I redesigned it slightly to use for Make, Do and Send card club at the beginning of August, if you would like to join us please check out the details on my monthly clubs page.
I really love the Twitterpated designer paper that we have in the Summer mini catalogue, we only have it until the end of the month and I will be sad to see it go so I;m making the most of it now. so the paper gave me the colour pallette for the rest of the card; the butterfly is 3d mounted to look as though it has just landed and I used a dauber around the edge to give it more definition. A detail that I added to this version is the paper pricking in the top right and bottom right corners, I think you can just see it in the photo.
I am almost at the end of my Worthing craft weekend projects, there is just one more to share tomorrow. This was another class from Elizabeth, she created these scrapbook layouts which I can fill with my own photos later.
Taking the Jubilee as inspiration there is a red, white and blue colour scheme and some lovely bunting made by using the pennant punch.
These are the projects that I made in the No Sew class that Elizabeth ran at the Worthing craft weekend. We made a fleecy mug warmer, decorated a jar lid and made a fabric bookmark.
We used the Twitterpated fabrics, which coordinate perfectly with the Twitterpated designer papers, and we added some lush pleated ribbon, buttons and some Antique brads.
All the shapes were cut using the Big Shot which makes it so easy. Some of the fabric needed to be attached very firmly i.e. to the lid of the jar. To achieve this Elizabeth had provided the new adhesive sheets from Stampin up. I hadn't used these before and was a little unsure but one I got the idea it was great, they certainly stick well :)
I am in love with the Twitterpated designer paper! It's just so pretty. This card is cased from one that I saw in a Stampin' Up! publication, it was a sample made by a demonstrator that was shared at a regional training event. When I saw it I wanted to have a go myself and then I shared it further with the ladies at my monthly card club.
The card is made using the embedded embossing technique; I began with the darker patterned paper and using whisper white card and the paler floral paper I gradually created my Union flag design. Once it was all in place I tucked it inside the textured embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot. This caused all the layers to press tightly together giving the impression of one piece of paper, it almost feels like a piece of fabric. Finally I mounted it onto a navy base card and added a greeting.
I designed this card for last months Make, Do and Send card club. It's the first time I have really made use of the new framelit and edgelit dies that became available in the Summer mini catalogue. The framelit dies come in various sizes and coordinate perfectly with the Apothecary Art stamp set. The edgelit dies, which I have used here on the vertical edge of my card front and also echoed with the Twitterpated designer paper on both the front and inside of my card, create a beautiful decorative edge; there are also complementing embossing folders available.
For this card I kept to just one colour, Island Indigo. The image is coloured with Indigo ink using a blender pen.
