Trimcraft Mirabelle Card Inspiration

Hi all 

I am back with a selection of cards i made using the new Mirabelle Collection. 

For this card i used the Lost Song stamp to create a card topper which i coloured in using the First Edition Marker Pens

The layers are created from paper scraps which i have trimmed and layered up. I then added buttons and ribbon

I used the A4 decoupage pad for the topper and  used simple layers to create this card.

For this card i wanted to experiment with circles so i cut out a few in different sizes and cut a few of the centers out. I then layered them over each other.

I used the All For Love stamp set and i cut it out. The heart i cut out s and then glued to the hand using beading elastic so it dangles.

Trimcraft First Edition Introducing Pretty Posy

Hi all

I am back today with some of my makes using one of the new First Edition pads called Pretty Posy. This pad is lovely and floral.

I used the Open Butterflies from Things to Alter and painted them

I drew around the butterflies onto patterned paper and then cut them out before gluing them to the back of the MDF butterflies.

I then glued them together with PVA and decorated them with Simply Creative embellishments

I have a few cards to share using the Pretty Posy papers.

I've gone for more layers this time because the paper is so pretty i wanted to add more on. I tear the edges to add more texture to the layers or you can use scissors.

I painted the wooden frame with DecoArt Crackle paint and once dry i dabbed a brown ink pad over the top to give it a worn look. I picked up a few bits from the new A Beautiful Life collection which is exclusive to Poundland. I used the Pearls and brads on the flowers.

                                             Hi all
I have some cards to share which i made using the new Back to Basics Berry Blush Collection.

I wanted to try creating a card with lots of layers.

Heart shaped cards give off a vintage feel and work well with the floral papers.

Another card i made with lots of different elements including a ribbon rosette and flourishes.

/This one is a rocker card made by cutting out a 6x6 card blank with a large circle die.
