Butterfly Blossom Card Creator

 Hi Everybody,

Today sees the launch of a brand new pack called Butterfly Blossoms and it has beautiful filigree butterflies in there for you to add to your cards.

There are also some solid shaped butterflies, in colours and just white,  that can be turned into easel cards, shaker cards or simply used as the shape to the card itself.

It is designed to help those that are new to card making as well as the more seasoned one of us that likes to make a quick but beautiful card

There is so much you can do with this pack and the papers are really pretty. 

Some of them are foiled and there are many many sentiments for you to add.

For this card I have added the filigree butterfly to the top of a shaped plain one that has been covered in the paper.

Each portion of the pack can be bought individually

Here I have tried to give you some ideas on how to use the pack but I am sure that you will come up with many more as you start to play

For this card I have added the plain shape to a card front and then topped it with silver one from the paper pack and a sentiment.

Alter the size of the card too and create DL or Slimline cards as well as the larger sizes.

The world is your oyster ... so they say.

And you don't have to use the whole shape. Trim it down to fit your design and see what a difference that makes.

For this DL card I have used the papers from the pack and added the filigree shape to a plain one. I have allowed the wings to be free to give some movement to them

Have fun and you will be amazed at just how many cards you can create from this collection

More tomorrow ...

Rainbow Wax Seal Cards

 Hi Everybody,

I have been playing again and this time I have been creating a rainbow look with my wax seals.

I bought some more beads from Amazon in Matt colours and they came the day after I ordered them at a really good price too.

I also got some more spoons so that I could melt things a little quicker

I have included the links to the items that I got from Amazon in the list below.

The stamps I have had for donkeys years and although I have searched online for them I cannot find them and so they may no longer be available.

But you can always make ink blobs yourself or use any stamp that you like to create the look.

                

I have another idea that I will share with you later this week again using the wax seals and I will use the new spoons that I bought as they have a lot deeper pan to them ... which I will need for my next attempt with them. 

More tomorrow ...

Decoupage Delight Collection - Camellia

 Hi Everybody,

Last week Pauline Hickey and I had a get together at my house and we decided to do a little crafting in my craft room.

 I thought it would be a good idea and a bit of fun to film the process as we made the flower.

We used the Camellia Flower to make the blooms and then we added them to our cards.

 I did one for a birthday and Pauline made a sympathy card with her beautiful lilac flower.

The video is not long but once it was done we went out for lunch and had a lovely steak sandwich.

This is one that I made later in the day after Pauline had gone back home again. I also added a wax seal to this card

Friday Freebie - Butterfly Florals

 Hi Everybody,

It is the turn of the butterflies this week and this pack has a lovely stamp and die, from Pink Fresh Studios, to add the butterfly to your cards.

There is also another stamp set in the pack that has text and florals as well as sentiments and the lovely squiggly butterfly trail to complete the look.

You will find lots of inspiration inside the pages of the Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine.

I personally love adding text to my backgrounds as I think it makes them look so special. But I am sure that you will come up with lots of ideas if you should win this offering.

All you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post and then be sure to come back and see if your name is shown as the winner. Your comment must include your FULL NAME or it will not be entered into the draw.

And don't forget to join in with the Live Craftathon that Lou is hosting  all day today.

More tomorrow ...
