The Scrap Room | Violet Dreams Card Collection | 3Quarter Designs

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Today I’m sharing three cards for all occasions created with the beautiful Violet Dreams Card Collection by 3Quarter Designs for The Scrap Room.

This collection is filled with gorgeous shades of purples and soft greens, all with a lovely, slightly vintage feel. The colours work so beautifully together and make it easy to create cards that feel soft, pretty and just a little bit romantic.

One of my favourite things about the Violet Dreams Collection is all the lovely die cuts included.  There are plenty of beautiful pieces to layer and cluster, making it easy to add lots of interest and dimension without needing a huge number of extra supplies.

For my three cards, I mixed and matched the patterned papers and die cuts, building up layers and letting all those gorgeous purples and greens do the work.  Each card has its own look, but they coordinate beautifully thanks to the collection’s colour palette and vintage-inspired details.

I kept the sentiments versatile so these cards can be tucked away in my stash and used for all sorts of occasions.  Sometimes it’s nice to have a few pretty cards ready to go when you need one!

If you love purple, soft florals, vintage touches and lots of beautiful layering pieces, Violet Dreams is such a fun collection to create with.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these three cards give you a little inspiration for your next cardmaking session!

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Violet Dreams Card Pack Collection | The Scrap Room

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Today I’m sharing a card I created using the gorgeous Violet Dreams Card Pack Collection by 3Quarter Designs.

I actually made this card a few weeks ago but somehow forgot to share it with you!  Better late than never, though, because this is definitely a card worth sharing.

If you love purple, then I think you’re going to love this one.  The beautiful papers from the Violet Dreams Card Pack Collection do most of the work, with all those pretty shades of purple and soft, dreamy details.

I’ve added a light green panel to the card to pick up the soft greens featured in the patterned paper.  I also used some of the die cuts included in the pack, layering them onto the card to add extra interest and dimension.

And, of course, I couldn’t resist adding a little bling to finish everything off!  It’s amazing how a few sparkly touches can bring a card together.

I’m really happy with how this one turned out — pretty, purple and just a little bit sparkly!

Sticks & Bones | Dinosaur 2 | Digi Choosday | Polkadoodles Crafts

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I’m happy to say it’s time for Digi Choosday over on the Polkadoodles blog.  Don’t forget to head on over to see all the lovely inspiration.

Our theme this week was to use Acetate or Vellum on our projects.  I was a little torn with this as I didn’t know which to go with.  So, I put both names in a hat & drew out the name lol.  Soloution solved!  BUT, then the real dilemma on what to do & how to use Acetate!

Today’s project is a cheerful birthday card featuring the adorable Sticks & Bones – Dinosaur 2 Digital Stamp!  Bright colours, along with the playful Sticks & Bones – Testured Dinosaur Papers 2 came together to create a card with plenty of personaliy that’s sure to bring a smile to any dinosaur lover.

To add something a little different, I created a tent fold card with the acetate as part of the fold.  The acetate highlights the paper used on the card giving the card an interactive element, making it extra special when the recipient opens it.

A simple birthday greeting from the Zodiac Collection – Birthday Sentiments & Greetings Digital Stamps and a few coordinating embellishments finish the design without taking away from the fun dinosaur theme.  The result is a bright, happy card that’s perfect for celebrating birthdays of all ages.

Shopping Rebel | Polkadoodles Crafts | Digi Choosday

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

It’s Digi Choosday time!

Today I’m sharing a simple & easy card featuring the ever so cute shopping Rebel Girl Digi Stamp.

Shopping Rebel is all set for summer, dressed in her hot pink dress, carrying her lime bag & sporting her oh so vibrant orange hair.  Don’t you think she looks like she is having such a fabulous day out & about doing a little retail therapy!

To compliment the image, I teamed it up with the  Rebel Pretty Printable Paper Patterns – Bundle 1, which coordinates perfectly with the bright, fun summer colours.  The  sentiment is from the Rebel Messages with Attitude set.  I love these sentiments as they add the perfect finishing touch with a little sass!

To complete the card, I added some soft ink blending to the background, coloured the image with Copics prior to fussy cutting it and incorporating a little scoring for extra detail and dimension.  Sometimes these simple techniques really let the adorable image and colourful papers shine.
