Ballroom Dancing | Card & Envelope

Hi crafters! 

Today I'm using printed vellum sheets to create a see-through panel for the card plus a matching envelope. 

The card's theme is ballroom dancing so it's going to be soft and delicate and also easy to replicate! Scroll down for more pictures and a video!

Have a great week!

Underwater Wonder

Hi, hope you are having a great summer day!

Today's card is just another example of combining busy papers with intricate dies. And yes, it's underwater world again? What can you say - I live really far away from sea (5 hour drive to the nearest seashore) and I miss it badly.

I have also tried some some experimental background techniques: see how the die cut trellis at the background is changing into a blue and gold ghostly pattern and then changing back? Watch the video to see how it's done!

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Ballet Shaker Card

Hi there, hope you are having a great weekend!

Today's project is going to be an extra large shaker card. Since my daughter is taking ballet lessons I thought this would be a great card to give to her teacher. 

I have featured some dies from the latest Quintessential Conservatory release by Paper Discovery (watch the supply list below)! Scroll down for some close up pictures and a video tutorial!

Thanks for stopping by!

Jaw Dropping Display Box

Hi friends!  Today is a special day for me because my new QUINTESSENTIAL CONSERVATORY release has come out!

In this tutorial I am going to demonstrate how you can use the main largest die set (the Quintessential Conservatory die set) along with some additions to create a jaw dropping display box for small collectible items (figurines, succulents or anything that fits inside the box). I placed my favorite Sylvanian Families / Calico Critters toys inside.

The box measures 8'' x 8'' x 3''. All the add-on dies can be used on their own or with the main building shape. Watch the video for more info!

Also, join me live at CraftWorld at 1 p.m. UK time on 22 May - there will be a new release overview as well as a GIVEAWAY!

Amazing Foiling Effects on Patterned Paper

If you are following me you already know how much I'm blown away with Graphic45 Ocean Blue collection (watch the supply list below!).

 I normally combine these papers with intricate dies but sometimes papers alone are enough to make a beautiful card. This is exactly what I planned to do this time but of course, I couldn't help adding some details to bring something of my own into these gorgeous papers. So I went with various foiled details - hot foiling, mirror cardstock as well as some shiny sequins. To me all this gold adds some sunshine warmth to cool blue shades and it feels so much like summer!
