Shabby & delicate...

Hi everyone :)

Today I would like to share with you a cover I made for an album I'm working on lately

as in inspiration for Love to Craft & Create.

As a base I used papers from an absolutely beautiful collection by Craft & You Design 

Beautiful Day 6"x6" Paper Pad.

The colours are stunning and all of the collection is so delicate and feminine.

Ideal for shabby chic projects :)

I liked it so much that I decided to use it to make flowers...

and CraftPassion flower dies were perfect for that.

I used 2 different sets:

I finished my flowers with white pearl stamens and Prima gems.

I could not use laser cut chipboards... I'm a big fan of them :)...

... so I decorated my cover with one of the captions from TricksArt Magical time set 

and Vintage Cage with a Bird by Scrapiniec.

 

To decorate my flowers I cut out a few leaves from a strip by Studio75 - Alice's Dream 09  

and added some sequins.

I hope you like my cover :)

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 Hi everyone!

Today I have for you card I made months ago. 

It was one of my first cards I made with gorgeous Lamoncraft papers - House of Roses.

I used House of Roses - A4 Sheet 1 as well - to cut out butterflies and a tag.

I decorated it with flowers - some of them are from Wild Orchid Crafts -
and Love to Craft & Create laser cut chipboard - Eiffel Tower.
I added Prima bow as a finishing touch. 

I hope you like it :)

Thank you for stopping by! Have a lovely Monday,

Let's talk about... mint

Hi everyone :) I hope you have had a lovely day so far...

Today I would like to share with you my new project I made for Love to Craft & Create. 

New products are available from today by Agateria - brand new company available on the British market!!!

They are known for making beautiful stamps and stencils/masks 

but you can find stunning papers as well :) 

The quality of papers is amazing. I love them and I had lots of fun making my card!!!

My favourite colour is mint and its not easy to find beautiful mint papers in UK.

Here is my card...

To make it I used Oh Hello Spring 3/6 paper. 

I used stencil/mask Snow - modelling paste I covered with glitter what gave nice sparkly effect. 

I decorated my card with chipboard Mirror Frame :)

To finished my card I used cheesecloth and Prima products: flowers, gesso, matte gel,

lovely Love embellishment and Art Stones.

I hope you like my card :)

Blue butterfly...

Good morning everyone :)

Today I have for you a delicate card made with beautiful papers

from the UHK Gallery Mushroom collection.

They are amazing!!!... ideal for wedding invitations.

I used two papers from Mushroom collection: Agaricus and Portabella.
I love to use metal dies and I did this time as well:
Distressed Dolly by Tim Holtz (Sizzix) and Rose Leaf by Magnolia.

I decorate my card with beautiful white tulle flowers, 

one of Ivy gate from the Secret Garden - Ivy Fence set by Scrapiniec 

and White Jute Twine. 

For the "cherry on top of the icing" I used one of the butterflies by UHK Gallery - Blue butterflies.

Most of the products are available in LOVE TO CRAFT & CREATE :)

I hope you like it :) Don't forget to visit me on Facebook and Instagram.
