Collettes Cards

Hi Papercrafters  I’m excited to share with you a layout I created featuring the new ‘Bohemian Bouquet' Collection from Ultimate Crafts.   It is such a pretty collection designed by one of Australia's own, the wonderful Denise Boddy, isn't she clever, I love the designs and the colours. I love that you get two sheets of paper of each design in the Paper Pad. This allows me to fussy cut and add dimension with the beautiful flowers in the bottom right corner. To crumple the corner, spray on some water and scrunch. This way the paper becomes very hard when it dries. I painted the chipboard with white gesso and added a touch of blue. Once I finished the layout I masked the photo and sprinkled on some fine glitters, it is hard to see but just added another glistening element to the layout that looked amazing! These are the products I used: Bohemian Bouquet Collection ULT 158030 - Paper Pad ULT58052 - 3mm Adhesive Pearls ...

Hi Papercrafters Today I have another layout using the beautiful ' It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' collection from Ultimate crafts. My son Jack loves to fool around and is so photogenic. I loves this pic, he was pretending the bobble on his hat was his mike and was singing Jingle Bells.  How I love Christmas! The layout is very straightforward and easy to copy. I embossed some vanilla cardstock with beautiful Christmas words ( ULT158301 - Winter Wonderland Embossing Folder), and die cut some snowflakes ( ULT 158320 - Snowflake Decorative Die) to add texture.  I also cut the poinsettias and layered them up. It's a great layout that you can do in advance for this Christmas, who says we can't scrap first and take pictures later!!! For my little sentiment I simply printed it out on the computer and rolled to edges to form a scroll. Product List ULT158298 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Hi Papercrafters I have had fun getting a little bit messy with this card. I used lots of the beautiful new dies and papers from the 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' Collection from Ultimate Crafts.  The collection is fabulously Christmassy and I always seem to sing Christmas carols to myself while I craft with it!  So for this little card I...... C overed my card base in paper from the paper pad. Die cut the gorgeous window die and rubbed some white paint on it. Attached some acetate to the back of the window. Cut some floral patterned paper for behind the window and attach it the card with foam tape. Attached the window with foam tape. Created the lovely little 'Christmas Spray' with vellum poinsettias, die cuts, flower buds and pearls and a little bit of fussy cutting for the leaves. Applied a fine sprinkle of glitter (after all it is Christmas and I do love bling!). Printed out on my computer a sentiment onto a scr...

Hi beautiful Papercrafters! Today is World Card Making Day and to celebrate I have made a sweet Christmas card with the beautiful , 'It's Beginning to look a Lot Like Christmas' collection from Ultimate Crafts.  As you know I have had fun playing with the collection this past month! I so love creating flower clusters on my cards. I sprtized and then painted this flower to get the colour I wanted!  That's why I love to buy white flowers, so that I can alter them any way I want! My new favourite toy in my craft room is Ultimate Crafts 'Go Press & Foil'. If you don't have one, right a letter to Santa ...... right now!  It is so awesome.  On this little card I foiled the sentiment and it looks so utterly gorgeous!
