Papermania French Lavender

Good Evening Crafty Friends

I have been busy preparing samples for a docrafts show on Create & Craft TV and I though I would share a few with you.

The French Lavender Capsule Collection is so pretty and I really enjoyed creating these cards.  The collection is a  beautiful and has lots of vintage inspired floral and lace designs.

You will be able to make lovely projects.  For  more inspiration visit www.docrafts.com

Lots of crafty wishes to you all.

Butterfly Card

Hello Crafty Friends

Just thought I would pop on by to let you know about the lovely papers and sentiments you can download on the docrafts website.

I made this card using the new butterfly papers - they are so pretty.

For inspiration I decided to use one of Jill's Sketches 855 - 861  which you can also download.

Once I had decided on the sketch I layered pink and green cardstock onto a white 5 x 7 card.  I then mat and layered butterfly paper onto matching cardstock. I added the sentiments and cut out butterflys from the paper and placed around the card and  finished off with some sparkly clear gems.

I love the colors they are so bright and perfect for a springtime Birthday.  I am  sure my friend is going to love it.

The docrafts goodies I used are:

Butterfly Collection (free download on docrafts FB page)

Sentiment Collection (free download on docrafts website)

XCUT Scalloped Circle Die

Papermania Adhesive Gems

Christmas 2014

Well I have been a bit late making my Chritmas Cards this year so  I have been crafting around  the clock this weekend to get them finished.  Here are some cards I have made for my family and friends.

Merry Christmas

Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad

Well I dont know what is the matter with me but I forgot my Mum & Dads wedding anniversary. Oops sorry Mum & Dad.

Anyway I had to make a card for them even though it will be late.  They love to see my handmade cards and Mum has kept everyone I have ever sent them.

I decided to get my xpress machine working this afternoon and decided to mix a few of the  xcut dies.
Using the bored dies from the English die set  and the birds and bird house from the Mixed die set.  which is brand new out I thought they work perfectly together.

Don't forget to pop over to www.docrafts.com to see all the new dies that we have got coming out.

I really like this new die set, the little birds are so cute and I can see them working well  with a Christmas scene too so watch this spot.

Hope your having a lovely weekend crafty friends.

Roald Dhal

Today I would like to share with you a card I made last evening for my niece who will be 21 next week,

 I went away this weekend to stay with my in-laws in their holiday caravan and took a few crafty things with me.  My Mum-In-Law also likes to craft,  and we had such a lovely relaxing time.

I think the Rhold Dahl collection by docrafts shouts celebrations.  The decoupage and the papers are so vibrant and have so much detail.

Sorry the photo is not brilliant as it was taken in the caravan with a mobile phone camera.

If you would  like to see all of the  Rhoald Dhal  collection then visit www.docrafts.com.

Hope you like it.
