Shabby wedding card

Hi lovely friends,

hope you are well!

I wanted to make another shabby chic 

wedding card. So when I found this delightful

vintage photo, I knew I had to use it 

for this project! 

As an artist, I love creating things and 

 I also tend to be a perfectionist too, 

which can be a bit of a problem at times!

I put a whole lot of love, time and 

attention to detail

into the things I make.

It's a wonderful feeling when you've made 

something you love and that you are 

proud of. 

Here, I have created a flower collage 

using some beautiful mulberry roses 

in pink and blue tones. 

I have also added frayed cheese cloth 

and light pink pearls which have been 

adhered over the top of a clock embellishment.

The papers I have used are from the summer basics 

collection by Maja Design and My wedding 

collection by Craft & You design. 

To finish off my card, I have used some 

 vintage cream lace and two ivory pearl hearts.

I also added a blue butterfly and the word 'memories'.

Hope you like this card as much as I do?!

Remember the wonderful

Hello again lovely friends, 

here is another altered tag 

that I have made. 

This time, I have used a vintage 

Photo Booth image of a beautiful lady. 

I started by using a plain white tag and 

adhered these wonderful papers. 

Next, I used a script stamp along with a

Tsukineko brilliance dew drop ink pad in the

colour Platinum planet. 

I have also used a small piece of Tim Holtz

film strip ribbon and attached it using 

an epoxy brad from the Downton Abbey collection, 

by Crafters companion. 

Next, I stamped a Tim Holtz number 

stamp in Platinum planet at the top of the tag. 

Then, I added the words "live your best"

I have also used three tiny blue Petaloo flowers,

and I adhered some grey flat back pearls to 

their centres. 

Finally, I added the words "remember the wonderful"

and some ruler washi tape. 

I have also used faded jeans distress stickles 

to the butterfly to give it a little sparkle. 

Thanks for stopping by,

see you on the next post

Live your story

Hello lovely friends,

hope you are well! 

Here is a tag that I have recently made.

I just love this vintage photo of this dapper chap! 

I covered a plain white tag with this 

lovely clock paper and then I adhered 

the image.  I have used a stitch stamp along

with vintage photo distress ink. 

Next, I tore some french text paper 

and adhered that to the tag. 

I printed out the words "live your story" 

which I thought fitted the image perfectly. 

Finally, I fussy cut some yellow 

butterflies to compliment the mans wings. 

Thanks once again for stopping by

Hi again lovely friends,

here is another mini folio 

that I recently made.

For the cover, I have used this beautiful 

Medieval Queen image 

which I coloured using staedtler pencils.

The gorgeous papers are from 

Docrafts Madame Payrauds' collection.

I have also added beautiful vintage cream lace trims.

Inside, I have created pockets which include tags.

Thanks once again for stopping by,

see you on the next post.

Vintage travellers mini folio

Hello friends,

hope you are well!

It's been sooo long since I last posted on my blog,

my crafting mojo had gone A.W.O.L !

But, the pesky little thing has now been found,

it was hiding away amongst all my crafting goodies!

Here is a mini vintage folio that I completed

making yesterday evening. 

I have used plain black card stock and 

beautiful papers from the vintage colored palette,

by a company called Craft sensations.

For the cover, I have used this wonderful 

vintage photo and Tim Holtz film strip ribbon.

For the inside of the folio, I created

several pockets and added another 

vintage photo of this dapper looking chap!

Whenever I use vintage photos in my

creations, I always wonder who these 

 fabulous people are and what interesting

 stories they have to tell! 

Here, I have created a pocket and a mini booklet,

perfect for journalling.

Here, I created cascading tabs using black

card stock, then hand sewn 

using a saddle stitch. 

The cascading tabs are interactive and display 

photos, tags and tickets, which are layered.

It was my first time using a saddle stitch 

and I must say I am really thrilled 

with how it turned out!

On this page, I used a Tim Holtz 

vintage script and an Eiffel tower stamp to 

create a very old looking letter. 

The last page in the folio features

another pocket and I added a 

french postcard, which I thought fitted

just perfectly! 

Anyway, thanks for stopping by 

to take a look. I really hope you like this folio?

I had such a fun time making it! 

Hugs
