Dovecraft Bohmeian Collection - Live Your Dreams



Today I would like to share another card with you that I created using the beautiful Dovecraft Bohemian collection. The colours are just mesmerizing and brighten up a cold and at times extremely wet day like the one we had today.

To ensure an even ink coverage and great results when stamping I conditioned the clear stamps before the first use. I went over them with a good quality white eraser without using too much pressure and then took off the eraser residue/dust with a piece of sticky tape.

I have again prepaperd a product list and step-by-step instructions, which you can view in my Trimcraft gallery.

New Dovecraft Bohemian Collection


This week the brand-new Dovecraft Bohemian collection by Trimcraft landed in my craftroom. What a treat! The papers are colourful and absolutely gorgeous. There are designs with glitter effect and with gloss effect as well as pearlescent designs.

For today's card I combined one of the stunning designs with a wooden shape and lace ribbon from the same collection in combination with kraft cardstock. I also used First Edition tea party and border dies as well as pastel pink 3D Pearl Effects by Dovecraft.

You can find a product list and step-by-step instructions for this card in my Trimcraft gallery.

Dovecraft Value Paper Packs


Trimcraft released a couple of Dovecraft Value Paper Packs not long ago. The papers are not only very pretty, are pleasing on the eye and can easily be combined with each other but they are also all double-sided.


The two cards in this blog post feature the 'Leyton' and 'Crowning Affair' papers in combination with textured black cardstock as well as die-cuts created with dies from various Trimcraft collections. Full product lists and instructions are available in my Trimcraft gallery. Just click onto the titles below the images to go directly to the project pages.

The World Outside the Window


Here is a card, which is a real First Edition project. It combines the First Edition window die set with papers from 'Paper Flowers' and 'The Promise' First Edition paper pads. And even the black textured cardstock is from a First Edition pad. The card blank and the adhesive gems are Dovecraft items, i.e. also Trimcraft products.

If you would like to re-create the card, you can find the full product list and instructions in my Trimcraft gallery. Please just do not enter the card into competitions or give the design out as your own.

Belle & Boo Polka Dot Cards


Today I would like to share two cards with you that I created using the adorable Belle & Boo collection by Trimcraft and Dovecraft pastel polka dot card blanks (they come with matching envelopes). In both cases the images are from the Belle & Boo decoupage pad.

 
The 'Belle & Boo - Play' card also features die-cut letters for which I used First Edition 'Script' alphabet dies by Trimcraft. The textured cardstock is from a 12" x 12" First Edition cardstock pad. All other elements on these cards are available in the Belle & Boo collection.

I have put together project instructions for both cards. Yo can view these by clicking onto the titles of the cards below the images.
