Tag Book

This is a demo project.

 

A tag book made from Kraft card.

 

Madame Payraud stamp 'Post Card' stamped onto

the same range of papers in sepia ink.

 

I have used pockets etc. within the book.

 

 

The front has had Sew Lovely ribbon used to hold the

book together.  Big bloomer flowers and typed letters

saying ' Travel Tags'

Masculine Cards

 

 

Two male cards made for a demo using

Anita's decoupage.

 

Both have been mat and layered using Madame

Payraud papers as these work well for male cards.

 

The first card has had the front of the card folded

back and I then used a craft knife to cut around the

frame of the image and in between so its like a

flip card/aperture.

 

 

 

The only addition added was a sentiment and ribbon.

Sew Lovely - Sewing/Buttons

 

Here is a selection of quick demo cards using the Sew Lovely

Range from Docrafts.

 

Button stamp images have been embossed and threaded with

bakers twin.  Heart canvas has been stamped in black ink for

the sentiment and metallic purple for rose.

 

 

This star card aperture has been hand cut and layered with fabric

after spritzing with red mist spray.

 

 

The sewing machine was cut out of sturdy card and

layered with Madam Payraud fabric and bakers threaded

through.

 

Washi tape has been pleated on this card to add interest.

 

Measuring tape ribbon, various buttons from the range

and the free stamps from the magazine have all been used

on this card.

 



Two more fabric covered sewing machine templates.

 

All items used are from the sew lovely range.

 

The is a CAS card (Clean and Simple) just buttons

arrange into an arc and a simple stamped sentiment.

 

Baby Card

 

This is an A5 card which has been covered

in PARISIENNE Blue papers.

 

Anita's decoupage sheet for a new arrival

baby boy.

 

Parisienne Blue Cameo

 

This is an A5 card which has been covered in

Parisienne Blue paper

 

New Xcut A5 die set has been used to cut sparkly

black paper for the corners and the oval.

 

A piece of Madame Payraud velum has been

embossed in a quilt folder and

adhered to the oval.  A cameo cut in

white card and place on to blue to make it

stand out.  A piece of Parisienne blue ribbon

tied into bow added to finish.

 

 

Button Tree

 

This is another canvas which I have painted in metallic

copper and the sun in gold metallic.

 

 

 

I have then draw the tree and painted in acrylics.

Once it was dry I added white to highlight sun

rays on the tree and glossy accents for the bark.

 

 

I then adhered various sizes and colours

of buttons.

 

I have also stamped a small verse to add interest

but this cannot be seen well in these photos.

Cogs on Canvas

This is Cogs on Canvas

 

I have used silver paint on a white canvas then

spritz with metallic blue from the Artiste range.

 

Hand drawn a tree and painted with acrylic paints

browns and greens once dry went over some of

the main stem with clear accents to give some

depth and makes it look more like bark. 

 

 

 

Cogs have been die cut using Xcut dies.  Each

cog has then been painted with metallic paint

and put together with a brad.  The brad is only

holding the cogs and do not pierce through the

canvas.  They have been adhered using silicone

clear gel.

 

I have stamps a couple of verses to add interest.

 

Hope you like this and it gives you some inspiration!

Steam Rollers

 

Yet again I have not been posting my makes

in an organised fashion, here are some of my steam

engine cards made last summer!

 

These are made using a stamp by 'Stamps Away'

and are coloured with water colour pencils.

 

 

The gears are die cut with the Xcut die

range and the screw head brads are Papermania.

 

 

Bakers Twine is from the Gorjuss (Docraft range).

 

Most of the papers are from Minds Eye pads.

All cards are 6 x 6 Kraft Card.

Victorian Kissing Balls

 

This is one of the prettiest things once made.

 

These are made using dried rose heads and individually

glued to achieve this result. 

 

 



 

As this is a natural product no two balls are ever the same.

Butterflies

I have used a butterfly die to cut the aperture and

to also cut patterned paper for the finished butterfly.

Once the aperture was cut  I stamped my sentiment then

I embossed with a quilt embossing folder (Xcut) then

covered the back of the aperture with a similar colour

paper to the butterfly. I Cut two strips of completely

different patterned paper for each side of the embossed

this draws the eye into the butterflies.

I have also highlighted each cross on the quilted emboss

with a fine glitter but this is not shown up in the photo's.

 

 

 

More butterflies, by Miss Payraud (12 x 12 paper pack)

Xcut Die and Miss Payraud velum for the centre of the aperture.

Green ink to the edges to add to distressed look.
