Paper Rose Circlet Cards

Happy Sunday xx

Today I'm sharing another set of cards that I have 

done for Paper Rose.

On these cards I have used the Circlet Background dies. 

There are three different dies that all work together or 

look great other own too.

On this card I have used the 16808 Circlet Layered Background 1 

and 16811 Circlet Background Layered 2 dies. I have kept all 

the cut out pieces from the Circlet Background 2 die attached 

for a different effect. 

I have stamped some flowers onto some coordinating paper. The flowers are from the 18183 Lovely Florals - Blossom stamp set 

and so is the stamped sentiment. The sentiment has been 

stamped onto a tag from the 17583 Banner 2 dies. 

Oh who doesn't love a little bit of hand stitching?? 

Call me crazy but it is a bit of therapy for me!!

I have stitched each row in a different tone of blue, 

starting darker in the middle and getting lighter at on 

the outside.

The sentiment stamped onto the tag banner is from 

17985 Beautiful Words Stamp set. The word beautiful is from 

the 17451 Beautiful Layered die.

And last but not least... this card has been made using 

all three Circlet Layered background dies. 

16808 Circlet Layered Background 1 Die

16811 Circlet Layered Background 2 Die and 

16814 Circlet Layered Background 3 Die.

The sentiment is from the  16874 Happy Birthday Large die 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovelies xxx

Outback Cards - Paper Rose

Hi friends 

I hope everyone is safe from the awful bushfires 

that are everywhere at the moment. It is just devastating.

I have created some cards this week using some of 

the Australiana dies and the Outback Tones paper collection.

Look how lovely this 17685 Gum Tree die is. 

Perfect for scrapbooking layouts and cards.

The paper from the 18171 Outback Tones Paper Collection is 

perfect to use with these dies. Represents the Australian 

outback just perfectly. The Happy Birthday stamp is from 

the 18336 Ticket Creator Stamp set.

On this card I have used the 18129 Super Hero Rays Stencil 

with the paper from the paper pack. I placed the stencil 

under my paper and lightly sanded over the green paper 

with my sanding block. I love how the paper now looks like 

there are sun rays shining in the distance.

The Best Wishes sentiment has come from the Ticket Creator 

stamp set.

I have used the 17718 Sheep family dies  and the 

17700 Farmer with Children Die also

Tearing paper is a simple and easy way to add a quick 

mountain to your background.  Again I have used the 

Gum Tree die, Farmer with children die and the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the Ticket Creator Stamp Set.

ARTastic November DT layout

Hi friends

What a great time of the year...Melbourne Cup Day.

If you're into horse racing like our family is, you'll know 

what I'm talking about. Nearly as good a Christmas!

Horse racing is a big part of our family. We have horses that 

we absolutely love, we get super excited when our horses have 

babies and we become grandparents. Our son has been working with horses for the last few years too. It's in his blood too. 

He has one special friend, and that friend is Fundamentalist. 

This horse certainly knows who Marcus is when he sees him. 

We have some great videos of Marcus and Fundamentalist 

together enjoying each others company.

What a perfect challenge Jane has done for the month of November. The criteria is to use Black and White and the inspiration 

artwork is from Kristin Hardimann - Stream out of the barriers. 

I have a little feeling that Jane may have done this challenge 

just for me!!

Picture Perfect Memories - Sketchy Boards November Challenge Layout

Howdy..

Challenge time again at Sketchy Boards.

This months criteria is to use blue in your layout and of course there is a sketch. The picture below shows you the sketch.

As soon as I saw this paper I knew I wanted to use it for this layout. Not the hexagons like in the sketch but hey that's 

why it's up for interpretation!!

We'd love to see what you create, come and play along and join in with this months challenge xxx

Cards for him - Paper rose

Happy Sunday to you all

There are always so many options to make cards for females.

Paper Rose have these fabulous Tool Set 1 - 16542 dies that 

are perfect for any male cards you want to make.

I love this Spot Background Die 16853, it is so versatile 

and can and will be used on lots of cards. You will notice 

I have used it different ways on all three cards. On this 

card I have cut it out just as it is.  

I have used the happy die from the  

Happy Birthday To You Layered dies 17631. The other dies 

that I have used is the Alphabet Dies 16844. These are 

perfect for any card sentiment and wonderful to use on 

scrapbook layouts for a title.

On this card below I have used the same spot background die.

Only difference is I have cut it down slightly and have left the dots in each hole. Once die cut I added some tape behind to 

stop the spots from falling out.

Another idea to use your spot background die. I have used 

some brown ink and a blending brush and used the die as a 

stencil to add light spots on the card background. 

See the two pictures below.

 I recommend if you stencil through your die like I have. 

Use the back of the die rather than the side that cuts.

It's easier to stencil through and you won't have a problem 

if you don't clean it properly.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting xx

White With One - November DT Layout

Well hello there...

Today I'm sharing a DT layout that I have done for White with 1.

As soon as I saw the inspiration mood board I instantly loved 

the numbers and the diamond shapes so decided to add them on my layout.

Hope you find some time to play along. This is the second last challenge for the year, why not give it a go xx

Scrap The Girls November DT Layout

Happy November..

My goodness the time goes quicker the older you get.

Today I'm sharing the layout I did for Scrap the Girls Challenge.

This months criteria was to choose your hangover.

My hangover is wine and a cheese platter!!! Those 

two things go perfectly together, it's one of my 

favourite past times. One thing I love just as much as 

drinking wine and sharing a cheese platter with friends 

is making a cheese platter. 

What is your hangover???
