This is such a versatile stamp (bird) by DoCrafts.

 

First mat and layer your base card, inking the

edges, and doing faux stitching for effect.

Adhere ribbon across the top right corner and

a bow to the centre.  Cut by hand a bird house

to suit the size of your base card using

kraft card stock and ink edges to distress.

 

Stamp your bird onto pink spotted paper and stamp the

wing part only onto blue paper cut out and assemble.

Using pink ink make a blush to the cheek area and add

white gel pen spots and a spot into the eye.

For the flowers it is a series of the heart wing stamped

onto brown patterned paper, cut out and stick together

in the shape of a flower. 

Add some bling to top left corner and your card is

complete.

 

 

Gorjuss

 

'Gorjuss' range.

The cards have been made using a stamp and

colouring in to suit.

The first card is made using a card blank

from the Gorjuss range and simply adding

a paper ribbon to the left and stamping a

sentiment into a tag and threading bakers twine

through.  Finish by cutting two corners from

the range and placing in the right top and bottom.

 

 

 

This card has been layered with papers from the

Ultimate kit, patterened tape and paper

ribbons across the join.  A paper heart and bakers

twine tied into a bow on top.  The sentiment

is embossed and cut out with fish tails.

The flower was made using Xcut bloom dies

and then each petal creased to add dimension, held

together with a brad.  To finish add bling to top

right.

 

 

The sign below is made using stiff packaging card

for the backing.  Papers from the Ultimate kit

adhered to the card and ribbon across the join.

Punch two holes in the top for your bakers twine to thread

thought and knot.  Punch two more holes in

the lower part of the card for some more

twine with a button to thread through. 

Two clothes pegs attached to twine to hold notes etc.

Decoupage the girl doing craft and adher to you

sign. Using Xcut doiley die cut matching paper and

stick to the opposite side to the decoupage.

Put together a box from the kit add some

ribbon and stick to doiley (this can hold all sorts of

bits and bobs). 

Using a Gourjus brad place in the centre and embellish

with buttons.  Black paperclip thread Gorjuss ribbon

and pin to the doiley.

The adhesive backed letter are also from the kit,

the title is mat and layered using more papers with

the corners punched to add interest.  The first letter

of each word is also glazed.

Forever Friends

 

This is a 6 x 6 stepper card which I have

covered with kraft card and FF papers.

I have distressed the edges of the

kraft card and papers with brown ink.

 

From the Ultimate kit I have used a

box that I have cut down to size to

suit this card, threaded pink

ribbon through it and glued to the

front step.  I have used a paper clip and

threaded a piece of fabric through like

ribbon to add a different embellishment.

Cut a piece of felt using Xcut scalloped die

and mounted a circle  FF topper to the

right of the box. 

To the top I have used a decoupage FF

hanging above the finished card and

using a paper ribbon across the centre

and three buttons to the side to finish.

 

 

All Aboard

This is part of the new range from DoCrafts.

These two cards are made using 5 x 7 Kraft card

I have used dark brown ink to distress the edges

of the card and papers.

I have used various saying and layered onto

background papers giving a collage effect.

The only addition to the range is the use of a

piece of ribbon to finish the top card.

The card below I have used patterned tape

like a ribbon, but have ruffled it together

to give a different effect.

Faux Tile Card

 

Vintage Notes again - here I have used a 12 x 12"

Kraft card folded and the card to fit into a 5 x 7"

envelope.

 

The front is covered with linen paper, die cut

Kraft card border with lace, Anita's ribbon and lace

crochet flower which has a blue (spots and strips button)

threaded with pink bakers twine.

 

 

I have used vintage notes doily paper decoupage flourish

and a large sentiment from the range the be the

centre piece.

 

 

The sentiment has been cut up to look like

a faux tile and then covered with clear glaze,

once dry this was then adhered to the main card front

to site centrally as shown.

 

Two inner flaps have been covered in the linen

paper and  hearts cut out from the paper pack

and placed onto the linen paper for interest.  Adhesive

fabric tape from the range also added

 

The inside of the card is also covered in linen

paper and a Kraft card boarder cut to match the
