8 x 8 OSW Card #1 with Hidden Creek Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I have a new Collection to share with you for our Anything Goes Saturday.  This Collection is way out of my comfort zone but I love everything about it.  It’s good to get out of your comfort zone, right?

Be sure to click HERE to check out what Robbie has created.

I decided to go with square cards throughout the month for this Collection.  I think they may look even more special with this type of card.

Don’t you love the colours & the butterflies?  The flowers are just so dainty too.  I can see myself creating with this Collection until the cows come home!

Supplies

  • Hidden Creek Collection – Arden Creative Studio
  • Square Cards & Envelopes – Uniquely Creative
  • Old Olive Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!
  • Spotlight on Nature Dies – Stampin’ Up!

Click on the graphic below to see how the card come together & to see the 8 x 8 OSW Template.

Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Sweet Shabby Easter for Lavender Blu Designs Team Project

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Are you ready for another Design Team project?  This time Fiona from Lavender Blu Journals has released a Sweet Shabby Easter Kit, although my card isn’t really shabby.

Click HERE to shop Fiona’s Esty shop.

I decided to create with little snippets from here & there of the Kit.  I love it when I can do that.

This card is perfect for the Easter Cards we are currently creating for the Homemade Cards for Seniors Australia Group.   If you are in Australia & would like to join in, please click on the link to request to join.  Currently we are creating Easter Cards until mid-March.

I am loving the lovely soft pastel colours in this Kit – soft blues, pinks, apricots & purples.

The eggs were printed twice, with one lot being adhered straight onto the paper while the 2nd lot were popped up with Dimensional Tape.  In saying that I did add a couple of extra ones to the fold.  Can you pick them?  I repeated the same process for the flowers.

Supplies

Cardstock –

  • Basic White Smooth – Paper Rose Studio
  • Fresh Freesia – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Rococo Romance Valentine’s Day Digital Papers | Lavender Blu Journal Design Team Project

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

 

G’Day Friends,

It’s time to share another Design Team project with you but this time it’s for Lavender Blu Journals.   Click on the link to shop Fiona’s Esty shop.

I wanted to prove to myself that I could create a simple & easy card using the Rococo Romance Valentine’s Day Junk Journal Kit without being a Valentine’s Day card.  I really love it when you are able to use papers other ways other than what they were supposed to be used for.

I am loving the pretty flowers on this paper although I found them a little bold for me.  So with that in mind & if you know me, I went chop, chop, chopping!  In fact, 6 pieces!

The sentiment was stamped direct onto the paper prior to a circle being punched with a Circle Punch & adhered to a Very Vanilla punched circle.

Supplies

Cardstock –

  • Very Vanilla – Stampin’ Up!
  • Mossy Meadow – Stampin’ Up!

Thanks for stopping by today, it is really appreciated.

Until next time, Happy Crafting – Vicky
