Card Crazy

Hi crafters!  It's Jo here with a few cards that I have been making using the gorgeous Vintage Rose Garden papers and also some of the new release dies.

I have had a few people ask about all the layering of my papers for my cards and layout so I have a  picture tutorial for you to show you how I go about it.

Here are the pieces I used for one of my cards.

Its then just a case of laying one over the top of the other

Now you just need to add a few embellishments and your done!

Here is a close of up of the other ones.

Thanks for popping by.  Hope I have inspired you all in some small way.

Until next time

Dream, Laugh, Live Layout

Hey everyone! Its me, Jo and its my turn up on the Couture Blog today.

I know its almost Christmas and I really should be focusing on Christmas cards and paper crafting but seriously I can't drag myself away from the beautiful Vintage Rose Collection papers!

Here is a layout to share today.

Here is how this layout came about.

First I cut a couple of slits in the top paper and distressed around the edges with my scissors.  I then added a little bit of texture paste and also some ink just for some extra interest.

I then built my page adding some more of the gorgeous paper.  I have added a couple of doileys using the Splendour die.  Half is tucked under my photo frame and also peaking out from the peek a boo section at the top.

I have made a frame using the nesting dies from the new Sweet Accents collection.  I cut it using 2 pieces of cereal boxes for a little bit of extra dimension and then embossed it.  Colour it by rubbing an inkpad over the top of it.

Here is a couple of close ups.  The gorgeous leafy swirl is a new release.  Very pretty!

A few pearls and some fussy cut butterflies again from the paper line and my layout is complete!


Thanks for stopping by and I hope in amongst in all the rush of the Christmas season you find some time to do what makes you happy - scrap!
