Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas to you all.

One more sleep and Santa is here. Even though it has been 

a difficult year for everyone, I still think this year still 

has gone quite quick. 

So it's time to share my last Paper Rose card for 2020.

I thought why not stay in the Christmas spirit and share a 

Christmas card using the cutest Santa of all. 

Santa has been stamped using the new 20715 Summer Santa Stamp. 

 I'm not the best at colouring and shading thats why I usually 

avoid stamps that can't be coloured with a bit of ink splooged 

on. I recently purchased some Stampin' Blend markers, they are 

so easy to use even for a beginner like me. A bit of practise 

and I'll get better I'm sure. It is actually quite relaxing to 

sit and colour in front of the tv.

I stencilled through the 18885 Mega Spot Stencil using 

Mont Marte Light Moulding Paste.

Oh my....and how nice is the 20544 Lots & Lots of Rectangles Dies??? I've already got the circles and squares on my wish list.

The sentiment was cut out using the smallest rectangle from 

the 16576 Stitched Rectangles dies.  When putting the 

card together I raised the ball and sentiment using foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous Christmas 

and New Year. Stay safe xxx

Get Well Soon

 Good Morning Lovlies

Look at the 20129 Ornate Swirl Rectangle Frame die. It really 

is so nice in real life.

I just love that it cuts the small rectangle with holes 

around the edges. 

The papers that I have used are from the 

19486 Holiday Bliss Paper Collection. The branches I have 

used with the paper collection are 

18105 Baby Blue Large Eucalyptus Branch die 

and 18084 Blossom Branch Die.

And to top off the card with a perfect little sentiment is 

19023 Black and White Sentiments.

Wine O'clock layout

 Yikes... 22 more days until Christmas.

Time to catch up with friends and enjoy a wine or two if your haven't already!!

The papers in the 20285 Wine O'clock Paper Collection are just 

perfect for so many photos that I have with the Wine Club girls. 

I'll certainly be using the papers for cards as well. 

The sentiments are also very appropriate for the papers.

The die cut mandala that I have used in my flower clusters is 

the 19613 Mandala Circle Die. 

This is such a simple and easy layout to do using just a few 

sheets of paper from the paper collection.

Bubbly thanks

Hello...

Just over a month until Christmas. 

Holy heck where has the year gone?

It's always nice to send a thank you card. This year has 

been so crappy its nice to send a note of thanks and 

appreciation to those that love and support us the most.

If you follow along on here you will know that I'm a bit of a fan of stencils. I just love all the different ways you can use them. The stencil I used on this card was 19106 Bubbles Stencil.

So many products work well with stencils. A new product that I have recently just tried is Cosmic Shimmer Matt Chalk Polish. I only have two colours at the moment but will definitely get more. They are so easy to use. I just blended one colour through the stencil. Wiped the stencil clean and then blended the second colour over the top. I made sure I put the stencil down in a different position so that I got different coloured bubbles.

The stencilled background was cut out using the 

16575 Stitched Rectangles dies. I also die cut out the thanks 

sentiment 19592 Hugs Thanks Hello Chunky Script from the 

stencilled background paper. 

The 17583 Banner 2 die has been raised using foam tape and 

the for your friendship sentiment is from the 

20165 So Extra White 1.0 Sentiments

 

WOW Embossing Powder & Paper Rose Studio Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the WOW! Embossing Powder New Release giveaway Hop!  

We are so excited to show case to you the New Release collection. 

Thank you for choosing to stop by! Please make sure you leave a 

comment on each hop for your chance to win one of our $25 Gift Cards 

from both WOW! Embossing Powder and Paper Rose Studio shops by 

Wednesday November 18th, this is open INTERNATIONALLY!

So.... here is the card I created for the blog hop using both 

WOW Embossing Powder and Paper Rose products.

First thing I did was to stencil onto the white cardstock using the 

18391 Hud Stencil and Mont Marte Light Moulding Paste. 

I then poured some of the WOW Opaque British Summer Embossing Powder WK15R(OM) onto parts of the stencilled area and then added WOW Metallic Platinum 

Regular Embossing Powder WC06R(O) onto the rest of the stencilled

area. Be careful when setting the embossing

powder, the light moulding paste can bubble slightly.

The next step for this card is to die cut out the sentiment. 

I used the 18297 Birthday Layered Word Die and the 

18261 Wishes Layered Word Die. The top piece was cut out of white 

cardstock and the bottom layer was cut from vellum. I embossed the 

top piece using WOW Opaque British Summer Embossing Powder WK15R(OM).

The circles were die cut from the 16548 Stitched Circles dies. Some

die cut in vellum, some die cut in white cardstock and then embossed 

using both the WOW embossing powders mentioned above.

You may notice a little bit of hand stitching on my card. Yes I find 

it very relaxing, crazy I know!! I have used DMC Cotton #642.

The embossed white cardstock has been distressed around the edges 

and foam mounted onto a piece of paper from the 

20201 Textures 1.0 6x6 Paper Collection.

Thanks for stopping by....have a wonderful day xx

Thanks so much x

Good morning all xx

Oh my goodness...have you seen the new embossing 

folders from Paper Rose?? 

I've used the 20381 Hand Stitching 2 Embossing Folder 

on the background of this card.  

And you know I love a bit of hand stitching, I've stitched 

on the white cardstock that was cut out from the 

17415 Circle with Lines die.

The gorgeous flowers are fussy cut from the 

20135 Sarah's Story 6x6 Paper Collection. There are so many 

beautiful papers in this collection. The colours are stunning. 

I've put the card together popping some of the flowers with 

foam tape to give it a little bit of a lift and dimension. 

The 19592 Hugs Thanks Hello Chunky Script dies have been cut 

out three times and glued together to give a little extra 

height and thickness.

The wonderful little 20165 So Extra White 1.0 Sentiments are 

perfect to finish off your card sentiment.

And lastly the white splatters have been added using white 

Dina Wakley Gloss Spray. 

Thanks for stopping by - happy creating xx

 

Autumn Leaves Art Journal Page

 

Happy Melbourne Cup Day everyone 

Today I'm sharing a project I have created for Paper Rose. I'm pretty new to all things art journalling. I had seen somewhere that you can alter your pages to make them see through. Thought I'd give it a go.

First thing I did was to trace around the 18213 leaves stencil. With a scalpel I careful cut around some of the leaves. I wanted to take the leaves across both pages of my journal so I decided to stencil with light moulding paste through the stencil.

To keep with he leaves/autumn look I die cut out a heap of leaves from old scrap cardstock. I used 18685 Lined Leaf Outlines die and 19190 Autumn Leaf Outlines Trio dies.

Using sand, cheddar and olive Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays I brushed them onto the pages mixed with a little water. I painted around the cut out leaves and splattered some of the paint onto the pages. The cut out leaves were then drawn around with a black marker pen. 

Finally a quote was die cut out of black cardstock using the gorgeous 19619 Outlined Alphabet dies.

Snuggly Christmas cards

 Hi friends x

Have you started making your Christmas cards yet?? I'm usually much more organised than I am this year...but hey this year has been fair from normal so I guess it doesn't matter than I'm unorganised.

Here are two cute Christmas cards made using the gorgeous 

20072 Snuggly Christmas paper collection.

This card I have used the 19601 Graph Paper Rectangle die which I have cut snippets out of. These gorgeous dogs are fussy cute from the paper collection. I have used a sentiment from the 19772 Crisp Christmas sentiment sheets. The few little sparkles of bling are from the 19499 Clear Crystal Mix.

The gorgeous little snowflakes used on this card are from the 16510 Snowflake 1 die. It's an older die from Paper Rose but it is so cute and perfect for Christmas cards.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful week xx

Lovely florals shaker card

Good morning

Here is another card that I'd like to share with you. 

Look at the gorgeous papers in the 19817 Black & Gold paper pack.

I have only used two different sheets of paper from the pack. 

One sheet I have used with the 18596 Circle Grid Coverplate die to make the shaker background. Some foam tape and 19499 Clear Crystal mix and the shaker is complete.

The other sheet of paper that I used was stamped onto using the 

18183 Lovely Florals stamp set. They are then fussy cut out and stuck to the front of the card with glue and some raised slightly with foam tape.

If you don't have any of the sentiment sheets I highly recommend you get some. They are so easy and quick to use and they finish off card so nicely. I have used the 19289 Big Black & white sentiment sheets. 

The thank you was cut out using the smallest of the 

16548 Stitched circle dies.

 

You make my heart smile

 Hello....

Today I'm sharing a layout rather than a card for Paper Rose.

The Snuggly Christmas paper collection is so damn cute, I just had to use it on a layout.

To create this layout I cut 25 4.5cm x 4.5cm squares out of all different papers from the 20072 Snuggly Christmas paper collection. You could also use the smallest square die from the 16578 stitched square dies as they are the perfect size.

The flower dies that I have used are 18168 Blossom Outline dies. I have cut the back or the flower out of vellum and the outline out of the paper pack papers.

The sentiment has been die cut from the 17451 Beautiful layered die. Again the background has been cut from vellum and the outline from the paper pack.

And finally to complete the layout I have added two little sentiments using the 19023 Black & White Sentiment Sheets.

Happy 50th

Hello - Thanks for stopping by.

My favourite die list has just gotten bigger!!!

I have always loved the 16826 Victorian Oval Lattice Frame die. 

This time when using it I put the centre oval through an embossing 

folder to add spotty texture to the centre.

A couple of new dies that I recently received are the 

19589 Happy Birthday Chunky Script Die and the gorgeous little 

17952 Mini Alphabet dies. They both may be now on my favourite list...hehehe! I did cut down the T and H on the 50TH.

I have covered the Happy 50th Birthday words with Nuvo Crystal 

Glaze to finish them off with a shine.

And last but not least are the 19190 Autumn Leaf Outlines Trio Dies. 

They are awesome. I will be using these on lots of scrapbooking 

layouts too. Add a few flowers from my stash and tra la..card done!

 

STAMPtember Exclusive

 

Check out these gorgeous Paper Rose stamp set designed exclusively for Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember. 

These stamps are only available at SimonSaysStamp.com 

Here is the card I have made using the gorgeous stamp set. 

I'm a bit of a fan of poppies. Red poppies always remind me of those that have served our country, and to them we are truely grateful.

 

To make this card I have stamped the images, applied some Colour Blast Artist Ink roughly with a paint brush to colour the images and then cut them out when dry. 

Inks and stamps are perfect together when you aren't an expert at colouring. I added some mini drills to the centre of the poppies. 

 

Wishing you a world of happiness

 

Hey, how exciting...it's the weekend again. 

They sure do come around quickly!

Today I'm sharing another card using Paper Rose products.

I love a bit of hand stitching on cards and scrapbooking layouts. 

I find it quite therapeutic, crazy....I know!

To make this card I have cut out paper just slightly smaller than 

my card from the 19042 Vintage Rose Paper Collection pack.

Then I've cut white cardstock slightly smaller than the grey paper.

Using light moulding paste and a mixture of blue distress oxides 

I have mixed a few different pastes. Using the 18876 Damask Stencil 

I have stencilled the paste.

Die cut out three 19193 Simple leaf duo dies from the same paper 

as used from the paper collection. Fussy cut out the flowers, 

leaves and sentiment from the paper collection.

When the stencilling has dried, distress around the edges of the stencilled cardstock, add the fussy cut pieces and stitch around 

the edges of the white cardstock before attaching to your 

card front.

Finally add a few of the new cute little 19499 Clear Crystal Mix 

to the front of your card.

Fragments card.

 

Howdy, time to share another Paper Rose card with you.

If you haven't been on the website lately, I'd suggest you pop on over and take a look. Even a die hard fan like me can't keep up with all the new stuff being added constantly.

To make this card I have used white cardstock. First thing I did 

was to lay my 19223 Fragments Stencil over the cardstock and attach 

them to my messy matt using washi tape. 

Using a 18454 blending brush  and Distress Oxides I blended three different purples over the stencil. The Distress Oxides that I used were Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord and Shaded Lilac. 

Once the stencil was removed I then diecut the stencilled piece of paper using the fourth smallest 16575 Stitched Rectangle die. I cut four pieces. They were attached to my card using foam tape to raise them slightly.

Using the second smallest of the rectangle dies I diecut out a piece to attach my thanks sentiment too.

The thanks sentiment was diecut using the new 

19592 Hugs, Thanks, Hello Chunky Script dies. To get the matching purple for the sentiment I blended the Wilted Violet Distress Oxide onto a scrap piece of white cardstock and then diecut it out. 

Sometimes its too hard to try and match papers to suit so why not 

just colour your own paper.

And last but not least - the rest of the sentiment is from the 

wonderful 19023 Black & White Sentiment Sheets. So many options for sentiments with this pack.

Thanks for stopping by....enjoy the rest of your week.
