Manor House Creations - Romantic Shabby Chic Card Set

Hi Ladies,

I have a set of 3 cards which were created a little while ago, but was unable to share until now as they were published with Australian Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft Magazine Volume 20 No. 12.

I thought I would show you how you can make a few quick and easy cards with a 6″ paper pad and product from the Manor House Creations.
Here are 3 cards I created, using MHC Flowers, Ornate Frames and Flexible Words.

 Love You Forever
MHC Product Used:  Layout Pack-Cheeky, Minuettes white, Blossom-Believe, Gothic Ornate Frame-black, Flexible Word (Love black).
Other Product Used:  MME Bramble Rose 6" pad, MME mini word stickers, Kaisercraft pearls, MM ticket

On this card I altered the blossoms to give them more dimension by pinching the centre back of the flower between your fingers.  Place a little bit of tape at the back of the flower to hold the pinched section, then top with a pearl, bead or brad.


I Love You
The large white flower was altered by lightly inking the edges of the petals with a pink ink and backed with some distressed mesh ribbon for a shabby chic feel. 
 
MHC Product Used:  Letters from Paris, Minuettes pink, Gothic Ornate Frame-white,
Flexible Word (Love white).
Other Product Used:  MME Bramble Rose 6" pad, Cottage Cutz daisy vine die, Martha Stewart pansy border punch, Craft Queen mesh ribbon and washi tape, Versamagic pixie dust ink,
Lindy's Stamp Gang saltwater taffy mist

Love Is Not a Because
 I have backed the frames with contrasting pp to draw the eye.   
 
MHC Product Used:  Letters from Paris, Tea Roses-gold, Lace Butterflies and Hearts pack, Gothic Ornate Frame-white, Flexible Word (Love white).
Other Product Used:  MME Bramble Rose 6" pad, Kaisercraft Lady Rose collectables, 
Versamagic tea leaves ink

Kaisercraft - Tropical Punch Collection

Hi Everyone,
Today I have projects to share using Kaisercraft's gorgeous new "Tropical Punch" Collection.  Totally loved creating with this collection, as it has a beautiful colour palette where you can go for the pretty Spring pinks and greens pp's or the bright Summer tropical yellow, red and orange pp's, or mix them together to create your own bold colour statement.

"Hello Beautiful" Layout
On this layout I have used pink and green pp's and Captured Moments cards to create an overall Spring feel.  The background was created by masking with the leaf template, then masking another layer over the top with the tiny hexagon template from the Quarters Stencil. I then added mist with a brush, so that it would puddle around the masked patterns and once dry I stamped over the top in green with the Moroccan texture stamp. Loved the lacy accents in this range, and of course couldn't go past fussy cutting the beautiful floral  glossy Specialty Paper to add in amongst my layers.




Kaisercraft Product: Tropical Punch - Lemonade P1640, Mocktail P1647 | Speciality Paper - Rosewater PS370 | Collectables CT808 | Sticker Sheet 12x12 SS258 | Captured Moments Cards - 6x4" Pineapple Crush CM316 | Paper Blooms Fairy Floss F640 | Clear Texture Stamp - Morocco CS191 | Template - Quarters T613 | Rhinestones - Soft Pink SB701 | Foam Dots T302
Other:  Modelling Paste, mist, ink, doily, paper flowers

"Life is Beautiful" Layout
Couldn't help myself and was drawn again to the pinks and greens, but added red accents to give it a bit more pop. The background was created by masking the Diamond Template with white crackle paste on Cardstock (cocconut weave), then masking another layer over the top with the tiny hexagons from the Quarters Template using Viva Inca Gold in mint green.  Once dry I sprayed the masking with some water, then added mist with a brush to create a watercolour effect. Finished off the background by framing it with some random punching around the edges in a pretty floral punch. To accent my photo I layered various pp's and a Captured Moments card in strips as the base for my photo and tucked in some fussy cut flowers in amongst the layers.

Other: mist, crackle paint, mist, metallic paste, punch

"Happy Days" Card
As you can see I was totally taken with fussy cutting the flowers on my creations, so I thought why not go with it and kept the theme going through to both my cards.  The 1st card the flowers were fussy cut and on the 2nd card I used the flower diecuts from the collectables, and cut them into smaller pieces, then layered them under the torn edges with some little lace accents and a bit of bling.  To add a touch of softness I flicked some white mist over both the cards.

Other: doily diecut, mist, lace

"Love Life" Mini Canvas
For my little reverse canvas I went for the yellow red and pink papers and diecuts, and to tie in with the lacy accents I made a border by punching some coconut cardstock with a lacy border punch to frame my canvas and make the yellow check pp pop.

Kaisercraft - North Pole Collection

Hi Everyone, 

Today I am sharing my creations using the bright and beautiful "North Pole" Collection by Kaisercraft.  This collection, as its name suggests. is a Christmas collection, but I love that this range has pp's which lend themselves to feminine and masculine projects as well.  

Here I have created a feminine non-Christmas LO with the papers and Captured Moments 4x6" cards, but there are also other papers from this range like the diamond, grid, diagonal stripe, zig zag, check and spot patterns which would be perfect on a masculine LO.

"Remember This" Layout

Other: mist, ink, metallic paste, gesso, punch, charm, rubon

With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to get started on creating cards for friends and family.  I was quite taken with the reindeers from this lovely range and was inspired to create 2 cards using the cute diecuts on the cards and reindeer pp on the matching envleopes.

There is always a need for a sweet little box to hold a special gift at Christmas time.  Here I altered a recycled box withe the pp's and matching diecuts.  For a little sparkle and bling I accented the snowflake flourish with a few Kaisercraft rhinestones and altered the paper bloom with a bling brad, then coated the top of the stamped pp with some Kindyglitz for a pretty glitter effect.
