Merry Christmas

 MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all...

Wishing you a wonderful time with family and friends, 

stay safe and enjoy your time together.

Today I'm sharing one last card for 2021.

This is another card made using lots of gorgeous 

products from Paper Rose. 

First I stencilled onto the white cardstock using the stencil, a blending brush and distress oxides.

This stencilled piece was then matted using silver shimmer 

card and attached to my card front.

Snowflakes were diecut from silver shimmer card 

and silver glitter card.

The sentiment was stamped using a grey versa fine ink pad. The sentiment was then cut out using the banner die.

Below are all the Paper Rose products that I used to 

create this card.

22429 Peace Love Joy Stencil

17580 Banner 1 Large Die 

23863 Merry Xmas Stamp 

16519 Snowflake 4 Die

19057 Silver Shimmer Cardstock

18454 Blending Brush 

Christmas Cards

Well hello again...

Are you ready for Christmas? 

Have you made your Christmas cards yet?

Today I'm sharing some cards I have made for Paper Rose using 

some of the Christmas Paper Collections that I have in my stash.

These papers are perfect for cutting up into strips and 

adding to cards.

I have used 18174 Festive Basics A5 Paper Pack, 

20357 B&W Christmas Paper and 

19772 Crisp Christmas Sentiment sheets to make these cards. 

Black cardstock was used to matt the christmas paper and 

the sentiment was raised using foam tape to make it pop 

on the card.

 

Happy Birthday

Yikes it's December already.

I hope you are ready and organised for this crazy month.

Today I am sharing two birthday cards I made for my twin nephews.

So now you know why they are same same but different.

I love using distress oxides and a blending brush through 

stencils. I have blended two of each colour through the 

stencil but I love how the pressure applied to the blending 

brush can also change the colour tone of image stencilled. I 

have used a Paper Rose 18454 Blending Brush.

For these two cards I have stencilled using the 

Paper Rose 18391 Hud Stencil and the 19619 Outline Alphabet Die. 

When cutting the die, it comes with an outline piece and a 

centre piece. I have used the outline of the letters on the green 

card and the centre of the diecut pieces on the blue card. 

For the background of these cards I have applied washi tape to 

the edges of the card base. I have then blended ink to the card, 

once done I have then removed the washi tape to leave a crisp 

white edge.

The stencilled image on the white cardstock is then matted 

with black cradstock to allow it to pop more on the card and matches well with the black diecut sentiment.

 

Summer Vibes Layout

 Hello....

Oh my goodness have you seen how cute the Paper Rose 

Beach Hut stamps and papers are??

Jump onto the Paper Rose website and check them out. 

To create this fun layout I have fussy cut images from the 

23752 Beach Huts 12x12 Paper Collection. The background paper and 

photo matt paper are from this collection too.

I have coloured stamped images of beach huts using Stampin 

Blend markers. The images have then been fussy cut.

The Paper Rose stamps that I have used are 23785 Beach Hut 2, 

23791 Beach Hut 4 , 23794 Holiday Hut and 23749 Little Boat Trio.

Cut the white cardstock to measure 25.5cm x 25.5cm. Distress the 

edges and stick onto the red spotty paper. Stencil across the white cardstock using the 19298 Cracked Stencil and some gesso or light moulding paste. Once dry add your photo and the fussy cut images. Add some gauze and sequins to finish off your layout.

Thanks for stopping by...see you in December YIKeS!

Hello my dear friend

 

Hello friends..

Time to share another project for Paper Rose. 

Those of you that know me well know how much I love hand 

stitching on cards and layouts.

For this card I have diecut using the 21060 Chloe's Coverplate Die. 

This is then stuck down onto a piece of paper from the 

21708 Watercolour Neutrals A5 Paper Collection. 

Poke holes around the diecut and stitch using coordinating 

thread. Once stitched it can then be attached to your card front.

Diecut your sentiment using paper from the 

21705 Watercolour Whimsy A5 Paper Collection. Diecut your 

small sentiment using 19586 Sentiment Strip Dies and cut 

from 20165 So Extra White Supporting Sentiments.

Lastly add a few small little flowers to finish your card off.

My Boy

 

November already....can you believe it??

Scary thing is, it will be Christmas before we know it.

It's my turn to share a DT project for Paper Rose. I love the 

papers in the new 23998 Dads Shed 12x12 Paper Collection so I 

thought I'd create a single page layout with it.

First thing I did was stencil some cogs lightly on the 

background paper. I have used 18867 Cogs & frames Stencil

and blended 18834 Black Hybrid Ink using a 18454 Blending Brush. 

I love using these brushes as you can add the ink as lightly 

or as heavily as you like.

Diecut out some cogs using the 17868 Cog Frame Die and some 

circles from the 21309 Track Circle Frame Dies. The cogs are 

cut from black and grey cardstock in my stash. The circles 

are from papers in the Dads Shed paper collection.

Fussy cut out cogs and double matt your photo using papers from 

the Dads Shed paper collection. Put your layout together. 

Draw around the edge of your layout using a black marker and 

splatter onto your layout using black ink.

Thanks for stopping by, see you back here on the 12th xx

Tool Shaker Card

Good Morning Friends

Today I'm sharing another card I have made for Paper Rose Studio.

This card is a shaker card using diecut pieces as the shaker bits.

Diecut out three 20874 Slimline Card Creator 2 Circles  

from cardboard and one from black cardstock. 

Tape them all together in layers; first black cardstock then 

add a piece of acetate behind the black cardstock before adding 

the three cardboard.

Next step is to die cut out four hammers, four screwdriver and four wrenches from silver cardstock. Diecut one saw from white 

cardstock using the 16542 Tool Set 1 dies.

Place the silver tools inside the circles before attaching to the 

21624 Slimline AU White Card Bases front to make a shaker card.

Add a sentiment from the 19023 Black & White Sentiment Sheets.

Snuggly Christmas Tri Fold Card

Hello there....

73 sleeps until Christmas, thought it was time to start 

making some Christmas cards.

Isn't this tri fold Christmas card just a little bit cute? 

I love this 20072 Snuggly Christmas A5 Paper Collection.

Here is a little step by step look at how I made this card. 

Fold the front cover of your card in half length ways.

This is how it will open.

Cut out your chosen papers for the three panels leaving some 

white card showing. I have sanded the edges of these papers.

Don't tape or glue down the papers just yet!!

 

Add your fussy cut pieces and the die cuts to your papers.

Before taping or gluing, prick holes into the paper and 

stitch using thread to hang the baubles.

I have used 16599 Stitched Christmas Ornaments and 

16510 Snowflake 1 die.

Lastly I added a Christmas sentiment to the card using 

19772 Crisp Christmas Sentiment Sheets. Now you can attach the 

papers to the card. This was done last so that the hand stitching 

didn't go though onto the card.

 

Best Wishes

Happy Sunday Peeps

Time to share another card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

Thought it was time to make another male card, I never 

seem to have enough.

I really love how this card turn out. 

 First thing I did was mix two or three different colours of 

distress oxides with light moulding paste. 

With my spatula I smeared across the 18427 Waves Stencil mixing the 

colours as I went until I was happy with how the background looked. 

Next I stamped my image onto white cardstock using the 

18330 Work Boots Stamp, I coloured the image using Stampin 

Blend markers. Then I fussy cut out the boots.

The silver matt and 16844 Alphabet letter Dies where cut out 

from 19057 Silver Shimmer Cardstock.

The work boots have been raised using foam tape.

Watercolour Whimsy Card

Well hello..

Today I'm sharing another card that I made for Paper Rose Studio.

I had a little play with my alcohol inks that I hardly ever use. 

The colours worked well with one of the sheets of paper in the 

21705 A5 Watercolour Whimsy Paper Collection.

I used white cardstock in between the alcohol inked paper and the watercolour whimsy paper to break the colours up.

Next I die cut out two of the 19166 Rose Bloom Die. I glued the 

diecuts together to give extra thickness and dimension.

The sentiment is from 19023 A5 Black & White Sentiment Sheets

 

Do what makes you happy - Art Journal Page.

Happy Sunday to you, hope you're having a great weekend. 

I've done something a little different than normal for 

my DT project for Paper Rose Studio. 

I have so many of their stencils, I may be a little bit 

addicted to them!!!

So I thought I'd have a little go at art journalling using 

some of the stencils in my collection.

The first thing I did was colour my pages with Life of Colour 

Paint Stix. I added a little bit of water and blended the colours 

with a tissue. Most people would just use their finger but I'm not

 good at getting my fingers dirty.

The next thing I did was add stencilling all over my page with 

lots of different Paper Rose stencils and different mediums.I have 

used Paper Rose Inks, Colour Blast Colour Pastes and Mont Marte 

Light Moulding Paste. I finished by drawing with White and 

Black Uniball pens to add circles and lines and to trace around 

some of the stencilling.

See below for a list of the Paper Rose stencils and inks I used.

I stamped onto American Deli Paper using Versa Fine Clair pigment 

ink and 17883 Beautiful Mandala Stamp. The stamped images were 

then torn  and stuck to the page using gel medium.

The Paper Rose stencils I used on this page were:

18427 Waves Stencil    

21543 Leafy Circles Stencil

19118 Industrial Circles Stencil     

19121 Industrial Elements Stencil 

18397 Checkerplate Stencil     

19109 Crosses Stencil

18123 Half Tone Stencil    

18885 Mega Spot Stencil

19127 Snake Stencil

The other Paper Rose Products I have used were: 

19619 Outline Alphabet Die

18834 Black Ink Cube

18798 Poppy Ink Cube

18831 Cement Ink Cube

18810 Grass Ink Cube

18801 Tangerine Ink Cube

18825 Berry Ink Cube

18813 Pool Ink Cube

18455 Blending Brushes

 

Stitched Circlet Card

Hello...

Today I'm sharing another card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

Hand stitching ....There is nothing I love to do more when 

relaxing at night in front of the TV. I poke all the holes then 

get myself comfortable and start stitching. I always use DMC thread. 

It comes with six strands but I only ever use three when stitching 

on cards or scrapbooking layouts.

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

to cut out one circlet.  I have glued it to a piece of kraft 

cardstock which is the same size as my card base. Then I 

poked holes as shown above. Hours of stitching in front of the 

TV and a little bit of fussy cutting of flowers, hearts and 

a bird from the 20685 Winter Rose 12x12 Paper Collection 

and the card is nearly done. 

Next I added some gauze and then glued the flowers down. 

The hearts were raised using foam tape. The Happy Birthday 

sentiment was from this same paper collection.

 Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting and stay safe xx

Vintage Rose Cards

 

Well hello again.

 I'm just sharing a couple of cards I have created

for Paper Rose Studio using lots of their gorgeous goodies.

Firstly I made a shaker card. Those of you that know me, know 

that I'm a bit of a fan of shaker cards, I find them fun to make. 

For the shaker card below I die cut out the background using 

the 20874 Slimline Card Creator 2 Circles Die. 

Some people use foam tape for their shaker cards but I prefer to 

just cut lots of layers and glue them together. I cut out the 

slimline card creator circles five times from white cardstock 

and once using 19057 Silver Shimmer Cardstock.

Between the top of the white cardstock and the bottom of the 

silver cardstock I tape acetate to cover over the circle holes so 

that when I add my 19499 Clear Crystal Mix it doesn't fall out. 

I always tape the acetate as it sticks better than glue and I'm 

less likely to have smudge makes on the acetate when using tape.

The next step for this shaker card is adding the shaker mix 

and then covering the back of the circles with a piece of 

paper from 19042 Vintage Rose A5 Paper Collection.

I chose a pink toned piece of paper that matched well with my 

ribbon that I tied around the die cut card creator. 

Finally I fussy cut out a couple of flowers from this paper 

collection and finished off with a couple of die cut pieces 

from 20976 Spring Bloom.  The little sentiment was from 

19023 Black & White Sentiment Sheets. 

The last thing to finish off this card is to attach this all to the card base. I used 21624 Slimline AU White Card Bases. They are the perfect fit when using Paper Rose Studio card creator dies.

After I made my shaker card I had lots of left over circles 

that I wanted to do something with. Don't ever waste all 

these little left over pieces of goodness. I actually have 

a little felt zip up box on my desk that I put all my left over 

die cut bits and pieces; I often use these pieces on cards and scrapbook layouts. 

I decided to make another card using some of the extra stuff 

from what I had been using to make the shaker card.

For the card pictured below I cut a piece of Silver Cardstock 

to measure 9.5cm x 15cm. This piece was then embossed using the 

20381 Hand Stitching 2 Embossing Folder.

The pink piece of paper from the Vintage Rose collection 

measures 15cm x 8cm and is torn along the bottom. I have 

sanded all the other edges of this paper which gives a nice 

white edge to help it pop when sitting on the silver cardstock.

Now to add three of those left over circles. I hand stitched them 

once they were attached to the paper before it was all attached 

to the card base. I fussy cut out some more flowers and 

die cut leaves and flowers the same as the previous card. 

The sentiment is from the Vintage Rose paper collection. It 

has been die cut using 16575 Stitched Rectangles die. I used 

this die because the stitched edges look nice with the hand 

stitching and the embossed stitching on the silver cardstock.

So there you have it... two lovely cards very different 

but similar at the same time.

Cheers - Tanya x

Baby It's Cold Outside

Good morning crafty friends

Today I am sharing a layout using papers from the 

Paper Rose Studio 22804 Winter Blooms 12x12 paper collection. 

On this layout I stencilled onto the background paper with 

Speckled Egg Distress Oxide blended through my

21519 Big Alpha Stencil using a 18454 Blending Brush. If you 

haven't used one of these brushes I highly recommend giving 

them a try...they are the bees knees!!

The paper strips I have addd to the layout are just the reverse 

of the barcode strips at the bottom of the papers. Don't bin them 

like I usually do, they do come in handy on a card or layout.

I have fussy cut out floral pieces for this layout from papers 

in this paper collection. The 'Baby it's cold outside' sentiment 

is from the reverse of the background sheet. Fussy cut out from 

under where the photo is sitting. I then cut the sentiment 

properly using  21438 Nestled Pierced Rectangle die to give a 

pierced edge around the sentiment. 

I have added 18078 Baby Blue Medium Eucalyptus Branch die cuts 

to my floral clusters using spotty blue and white paper from 

the collection.

The other die that I have used on this layout is  the 

16969 Quatrefoil Layer 1 die which I have diecut and then cut 

into pieces and placed under my photo.

Thanks for stopping by...happy creating
