Wonderful White Cards

Hi Lovelies, Today I'm sharing with you these seriously stunning cards designed by Helen.  Helen has previously designed many layouts, albums, art journal and mixed media projects and has finally taken to cards! The cards focus heavily on embossing and die-cutting so it's the perfect opportunity to rummage through your collection and pull out your favorite embossing folders and dies! All three cards are made from white card stock with a single statement colour. The splash of soft pink on this card is just so stunning.   Tiny little pearls are the perfect way to subtly include a feature colour in your cards and create a seamless finish.   Helen has used Glitzin' Glamour to beautifully highlight the embossing patterns and die-cuts without introducing a new colour. Texture is the key to making a standout card when using a single colour scheme.  Helen has created texture in these cards by using layers of intricate die-cuts...

Monday Cards

Hi Lovelies, After a lovely Christmas break things are back in motion this week!  We kick off the year's first Monday Cards class with the lovely 'Beautiful You' range by Celebr8.   The range features soft pastel tones and a plethora of succulents,  perfect for fussy cutting!  This stunning card uses the Tim Holtz inks Scattered Straw,  Shabby Shutters, Victorian Velvet and Weathered Wood to highlight  the colours in this paper range.  Liz has used the 'Succulent Garden' stencil with matte finish texture paste to  create this unique, textured background. With the finishing touch of a mounted cut-out sentiment,  this card is simply beautiful.  The background for this card uses the 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder  which is the perfect staple pattern for any background. If you are interested in finding out more about our card classes, please call the lovely ladies at...

Monday Card Class

Hi Lovelies,  The cards I'm sharing with you today have been designed  by the lovely Liz for a Monday Card Class. The Darkroom Door montage page 'Art De Fleur' includes various dusty red, pink and orange flower cut out panels and was used at the feature for these cards. Embellishments including seam binding, cabochons and lace  were added to compliment the montage cut-outs. Your favorite small patterned embossing folder, some muslin and a paper doily  is all you need to add to make a beautiful card like this, suitable for any occasion. This card features three of the montage pieces and fussy cut blossoms,  complimented with a die cut doily and a crochet cotton bow.   The blossoms were fussy cut from the lovely Fab Scraps page  'Botanical Bulb' from the C86 range while the backgrounds  of the cards used the reverse side of the page. I hope these cards have inspired you to do ...
