Enchanted Forest - All You Have To Do Is Believe

Hello Folks,

Today's card is all about Crafters Companion Sara Davies new Enchanted Forester Collection. 

I have used a square white card, Gemini, Square Diecut to cut the centre piece out of the papers and front of the card. I used the white card from that to do the section on the inside. I have used Crafters Companion Butterful Garden Patterned Paper, white card stock colouring all pieces using Spectrum Noir ink Pads Pale Fig, Damson Wine, leaves was used with coloured card stock, I have also sprayed the card with some Crafters Companion Spray n Sparkle Iridesecent. Then I have used Sara Davies Enchanted Forest Toadstool Garden Embossing Folder, Sentiments was from the Rubber Stamp Believe, various Leaves Diecuts, English Country Garden Grand Floral Diecuts, Glamour Flourishing Corner Diecut and some Gem Stones.

Floral Happy Birthday

Hello Folks,

Todays card was a challenge I set myself, stilling learning as its not quite as bright as I hoped but I have learnt what my mistake was. The challenge was to combine the techniques I have learnt this year from the Crafters Companion Subscription Boxes but also think outside of the box with regards to if you don't have some of the items such as a Create a Card Diecut. 

I have used a rectangle white card, white card stock for everything else, this allowed me to colour items how I wished them to be, this is where I made a bit of a mistake, should have coloured some more a little bit darker to make them pop out more. My first step was to cut out of the white card stock the first layer to go against, which I then used Sara Davies Floral Delight Ornate Trellis Diecut, this I then coloured with Spectrum Noir Ink Pad Pale Fig and glued to card. Next I cut another piece of white card stock a little bit smaller than the previous, took a Spellbinders Oval shaped Diecut and placed it in the middle, one cut, removed that piece and put the rest through the Gemini machine with Sara Davies Together Forever Vine Leaves Embossing Folder, glued this to the card. I then took another piece of white card stock white a Spellbinders Scalloped Oval Shaped Diecut, as a smaller Spellbinders Oval shaped Diecut, placed them one inside the other and through the machine, this allowed me to use just the outside of the scalloped oval diecut which I coloured with Pale Fig, would have be better if I have used the Damson Wine one. After I glued this to the centre area of the card, I diecut some sentiments and a shape for them to sit on I coloured with ink pads, glued it all together and onto the card. From here I cut and shaped many of Sara Davies English Country Garden Grand Floral Flowers, coloured them as well as shaped and then layered them adding a gem to the centre. I also diecut some leaves from the Crafters Companion Subscription Box 5, coloured in green with an ink pad, laid them all out on the card in several ways first to find the one I liked where as I then glued them in place and this completes my card which is also a lesson.

Pale Fig and Damson Wine Square Sympathy Card

Hello Folks,

Today's card is sadly a sympathy card, one of those ones that are not easily to do and that I needed to make I am afraid.

I have used a white square card, My Colours card stock in Snowbound, Bazzill Basics Rain Forest card stock, Sara Davies Floral Fantasy Petal Flourish Diecuts, Sara Davies Butterfly Lullaby Butterfly Dance Diecut, Sara Davies Butterfly Lullaby Fit & Flutter Diecuts Sara Davies English Country Floral Duo Diecuts, Sara Davies Floral Delight Leafy Flourish Diecut, Spellbinders Circle Diet Cut, Sentiments Diecut, Gem Stones, Collall 3D Glue and Spectrum Noir Ink Pads Pale Fig and Damson Wine.

As it was the first time for using the corner diecut I was uncertain how it would turn out and I think next time I will try using a ink pad to make it stand out a little bit more.
