White wedding

Posted on by Liz

Monday again! First of May is right around the corner and we are having the first signs of spring! Rain! Alright, we’ve had some lovely sunny days as well, but the temperatures are still low. Looking forward to not having to wear a coat every day for sure.

Monday means new challenge over at Paper Playtime! This week’s challenge was a difficult one for me; embossing. I am entirely useless at embossing! The little embossing I have done have been made with the handy folders. This card has been made using one from Marianne Design which does both cutting and embossing, and I have made a wedding card out of it. I have also used various punches and dies from Die-namics and Martha Stewart. The ribbon and bow are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Pre-coloured toppers are fantastic! They are so easy to use and helps make a card a lot faster because there is no colouring involved! The adorable one is by Sylvia Zet at The Hobby House. It was easy to pick colours to go with for sure. The papers are from Papermania and Tim Holtz. The lace is from a local shop and the ribbon, bow and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The small buttons are card candi from Craftwork Cards, the spirals are by Kort og Godt and the sentiment is by Lili of the Valley and inked with Memento. The leaves are, as usual, made with a Martha Stewart puncher.

You and I

I have an essay due tomorrow, so rather than write it I figured I would make a card! Inspiration generally comes flowing when you have other far more important stuff that needs to be done. It worked like a dream! This card took no time at all to make and I am quite pleased how it turned out.

The papers are from Papermania. When I was on holiday I was set on not purchasing anymore paper as I really do not need anymore of it. That plan lasted until I spotted this gorgeous paper pad! The adorable pre-coloured image is from The Hobby House. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the lilac ribbon and bow. The lace is from a local, the sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley. I reckon the doily might also be Papermania, while the cute little buttons on the side are card candy from Craftwork Cards. The leaves are made using a Martha Stewart puncher.

Spring Christmas

Posted on by Liz

Let’s face it. Spring is on hiatus, so a Christmas card feels just as appropriate as a spring card and we’re nearly in April already! I am loving my stay in London. We spent last night at the Savoy Theatre for the ‘Let It Be’ musical and it was very good indeed! Although I admit I loved my little shopping spree in the M&Ms world afterwards as well, heh.

Anyway, card! This one is made with blank white card, purple card and pion papers. The image is from Inkido and the ribbon is from a local shop, as are the purple pearls I believe. As always, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branches are made with a Martha Stewart puncher. I cannot recall where the snow crystal is from unfortunately.

Here is my first project as a member of Paper Playtime‘s design team. For our challenge this week, we have the theme “anything goes”.

I made this card using paper from Pion (the back of a fancy one), a paper pad I’ve had for years and I cannot remember where the one with the hearts are from as I used bits I had left over from last year. The reason that the background looks a bit bright is that the paper is shimmering so got caught in the light, and it is the same paper I have used the back of for the deep red lines and leaves which also look dull. Their colour is more similar to the colour of the bow, that’s how far off it is! Anyway, enough rambling. The elephant is a pre coloured image from Lili of the Valley and the sentiment stamp is also from there. All flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
