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.

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

 Hello crafty friends

August already, can you believe it?? 

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

I know I've said it before but I am so grateful to be on 

their design team. All their products are of such a high 

quality and there are so so many nice items, its hard to not 

won't one of everything, my wish list is forever growing!

I don't know about you but I never seem to have enough male 

cards my card stash. So I thought I'd start making an effort 

to make more. This 18608 Vintage truck stamp is perfect for 

male cards. I have kept it all pretty simple. I stamped the 

image onto kraft cardstock and fussy cut it out.

The bottom part I have torn because I wanted it to look 

kind of rough like the ground.The stamped image has been 

raised using foam tape.

The background grey/black paper is from 18999 A5 Nature Paper 

Collection. I wanted to use paper that had some pattern but not 

too busy for behind the 19526 Abstract Stained Glass Frame.

With the Abstract Frame, I have kept some of the cut out pieces 

of paper attached...well for no particular reason except I 

like it like that.

The sentiments I have used are 17457 Cheers Layered Die and 

19023 Black  & White Sentiments Sheets. I have used 

19586 Sentiment Strips Dies to but the sentiment strip because it 

leaves that nice stitched looks around the edges.

Take it easy, stay safe and thanks for stopping by to take 

a look.

Happy crafting - Tanya x
