Collettes Cards

Happy 2018 my papercrafting friends! May all your dreams come true! To kick the year off I have made a video especially for you on the easy yet wonderful ... Multi Step Card! I have had so much fun playing with the Ritz Collection, have you seen it? It is full of neutral backgrounds and has amazing foils, panels, borders and die cuts. I must confess I have a few of the 12" and 6" paper pads in my stash .... it's just so easy to use and I love that! I have been making these multi step cards for years and my family and friends love them; so I thought I would share with you lovely peeps!  It is quite a simple and quick card to make and I am sure it will become a favourite card foundation! So go grab a cuppa and take 13 minutes or so to watch my video, I do hope you can find the time!

Hi Papercrafters :) My final Christmas Card for the year!  Yay!! A twisted easel card, they always look so grand!! Once again I have used 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' collection from Ultimate Crafts.  I have had so much fun playing with this classic collection and I know my family and friends love the cards I have sent them this year. This is a right fold twisted easel, which feels a bit back to front but looks wonderful when open. So with the fold on your right, take the bottom left hand corner and fold it against the crease line creating a mountain fold. Here is a pic of the card when closed, you can see the fold line down the middle.  Remember, the folded side of the card is on the right!  It should create a bit of fun when it's being opened lol! I fussy cut some of the beautiful big poinsettias from the paper pad and layered them in a pretty floral spray on the front. Other papers from the paper pad...

Hi Papercrafters. Today I am sharing a Christmas Sampler 🎄 I love that I get to create nine different mini layouts .... lots of dies, papers and photos! Once again, I am using Ultimate crafts 'It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas" collection .... you know how much I love it!! 💗 I am going to pop this layout into one of  the many 12" x 12" frames available from Couture Creations and display it on the wall this Christmas! I bet it gets noticed and admired by my family and friends! Here I have used the Build a Tree Layering Die to create a dimensional Christmas Tree. I love this matt gold mirror card and have also tied it into my layout by using it as one of the backing cards. I layered the 'Holly Branch Die' and shaped them into a wreath. 2mm pearls add an extra festive touch. The papers in this collection are so rich and Christmassy; I have added a few flowers to create dimension. Layers ...

Hi fellow crafty friends! As Christmas is just around the corner I find myself frantically trying to finish my Christmas cards.  I am looking for easy quick designs that look fab.  I think this one delivers, especially if you make them production line style! Once again I am using "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas' collection from Ultimate Crafts, it is my favourite for the season ..... but you probably have guessed that by now lol! Simple, pretty and quick.  So lets take a look at how I made this Christmas beauty! Cut a C6 Cream card blank so it is 3 1/2" wide when closed. Cover it with some beautiful Christmas paper from the 12" paper pad, cutting it slightly smaller than the card so you have a small cream border all around. Next cut a piece of green text pattern paper, (1 5/8" x 5 1/8") from the paper pad and attached it to a piece of matte gold mirror board cut 1 3/4" x 5 1/4".  Wra...
