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

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

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.

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

Adore - my gorgeous kids

Hello everyone 

Today I'm sharing another scrapbooking layout using Paper Rose 

Studio papers, dies, stencils and chipboard.

 

My goodness the papers in this 22300 Little Mandala paper collection 

are so so nice. They were a must have the minute I saw them.

Even though I got the 6x6 size they were still perfect for my 

layout. Each pack has 3 of each design and there are 12 designs. 

I used two of one of the designs as my main background piece, 

I just simply joined them up behind my photo.

I used another design to matt my photo and one to layer 

behind the matted photo.

Before I attached the papers to my layout I stencilled onto 

the white cardstock using Mont Marte Light Moulding Paste through 

the 18123 Half Tone stencil. 

The Mandala die that I have used was the 21342 Mandala Circle Die. 

It cuts 4 different pieces. I have separated them on my layout. 

The chipboard title is from the 21924 Block Girl Titles Chipboard 

Set. This set of chipboard comes with 6 different words. 

Gorgeous, Stunning, Darling, Lovely, Adore and Beautiful.

 They are a great size, would be suitable for either scrapbooking layouts or cards. I have colour the chipboard with Distress 

Paint - Faded Jeans. I have used Distress Oxide - Faded Jeans for the splatters 

on the layout too.

To finish off the layout I have added some flowers from my 

never ending stash of flowers, some cotton thread and I have 

machine stitched around the edge of the layout.

Once again, thank you for stopping by. 

Take care and happy creating xx
