Easter Treats card


Hello!! Today I’m sharing an Easter card created with the pretty Flower Girl papers within the Simply Creative range from +Trimcraft Ltd .  No Easter is complete without a chocolate bunny amongst all those pretty eggs and so I have used the cute Bunny from the First Edition Animal die set for my chocolate bunny character.

 Step By Step:
  1. Using a Dovecraft 6x6 white square card blank with fold across the top, cover front with the checked paper from the Flower Girl 6x6 pad. Outline the paper with Dovecraft glitter glue in ‘Crystal’.
  2. From white card, cut a large egg or oval shape to fit the front of the card height wise and cover with the flower strip paper from the pad.  (Draw a simple shape or use a template, there is a downloadable Trimcraft pattern on the home page which you can resize for the egg shapes). 
  3. Outline egg with glitter glue and allow to dry.  Attach a small doily from the La De Dah range to the centre of the egg using a dab of glue or tape in the centre. 
  4. Take the sentiment set (2 pieces) from the Me To You Easter decoupage pad and adhere the bottom layer centrally onto doily. Take Dovecraft pink gingham ribbon and adhere across the panel, securing ends on the back with tape.  Using 3D foam pads attach the top part of the sentiment ‘Easter Treats’ on top of the ribbon and outline with glitter glue.  Add a length of gingham ribbon across top of egg securing ends on reverse. Take another piece of ribbon and tie a bow, trim ends and then glue in place at top right of top ribbon.
  5. Using the FE Animal themed set, cut bunny from FE Textured card in brown.  Add a tiny piece of pink to back the nose and pop some glitter glue on top.  Add chocolate bunny to card front using a double height of 3D foam pads.
  6. Cut a medium sized egg shape from Flower Girl lilac striped paper, outline with glitter glue and add Dovecraft white ric rac across centre using glue to adhere.  Use 3D foam pads to adhere egg to bottom left opposite bunny.
  7. Cut 5 small egg shapes from different pattern papers within the Flower Girl 6x6 pad, again outline with glitter glue in ‘crystal’ and attach to card front at angles using 3D foam pads.
    To finish add a little clear adhesive gem to bunny’s eye and a pink bow from Floral Muse to decorate.

Products Used:
Simply Creative FSC Paper Pad 6x6 Flower Girl
Dovecraft White 6"x6" cards & envelopes
La De Dah Die cut Doily Shapes
Glitter Glue Box - Pastels
First Edition Dies - Animal
Dovecraft Ribbon Box With Love
Dovecraft Floral Muse Mini Ribbon Bows
First Edition Premium Textured Cardstock – 12x12 Papers

More Luxurious Leather card from Papermilldirect




Hello and welcome to my weekly Blog Post with news of this week's special offer from +papermilldirect .

I know lots of you loved the previous offerings of this Leather effect cardstock when it was available in the White and Buff colourways.  This time it is a lovely Cream colour and available in both small & midi box sizes from just £5-70!!  It is sure to be extremely popular, so do grab it whilst you can - Link Here

I haven't had chance to create with the Cream yet, but if you would like some inspiration I can share a couple of projects I made using the White and Buff colours, I'm sure these projects would work equally well in the cream colour too.

First up is the little handbag shaped card, I drew a template and hand cut this design,  here is the link for the write up and materials list (what-to-do-with-white-leather)

Next up is the Wallet Gift Card holder, I created 2 of these, one for my father and one for my brother, these are simple makes but the Leather embossed card looks so effective, Here is the link for the write up & materials list: (more-in-buff)


The Leather embossed is in a very sturdy 300gsm and perfect for making 3D projects like this TeePee shaped card, link here: (leather-in-buff)



as well as giving a touch of elegance and luxury to regular card making.  I stamped and coloured onto the leather effect too, here is the link for this card too.(today-is-good-day)

I think the Cream would be ideal for wedding stationery too, especially with a coordinating ribbon and simple styling to show off the beauty of the grain.  I would love to hear what you plan to make or  have made with the Leather Effect card-stocks from Papermilldirect.

Making a simple Easter Basket with Papermilldirect card

Good morning, I've been trying to shake off a heavy cold for the last few days, immune system is a bit low, my B12 injection is due really soon and I always seem to catch a cold or some bug in the couple of weeks leading up to it.  Anyway, enough of that and let's get back to the crafting!!  


This week the +papermilldirect  Design Team are working on their Easter projects and I decided to make a little Easter Basket which when filled with chocolate eggs, would be ideal to give as a gift or use as a table decoration.


I used my Cricut Explore to create a simple design, bringing together a few elements in the Design Space software.  (I have the DS link to share with you at the bottom of this post if you would like to create this project, the link will open up with all the elements correctly sized, you can of course edit and use other colours if your prefer).

The basket part was cut in just 2 segments plus 1 handle using papermilldirect plain white card, the score tool in the Explore makes folding the segments easy and you only need to glue two flaps to create the basket.  The handle is shaped so that it pushes through and has little 'lugs' so that it doesn't pull out. I cut 4 grass sections using the Apple Green Card and attahced one to each side of the basket.  A little bunny with a lilac bow was attached using 3D foam pads (I have included 2 bunnies on the DS link in case you want to pop one on the back too, but it's easy to 'copy & paste' if you want more).

The layered sentiment of 'Happy Easter' has been created using 3 colours of card, and then attached to a strip of heavyweight acetate, I used acetate to enable the greeting to be placed where desired when filling the basket with chocolate eggs.  You could easily add a personalised greeting in addition or instead.  Pale green tissue paper was gently crumpled and placed in the basket before I added some brightly foiled chocolate eggs.  You could of course add different treats if you prefer.


Materials Used:  


Mocha Brown Plain Card 240gsm - Papermilldirect
Apple Green Plain Card 240gsm - Papermilldirect
New Lilac Smooth Card 140gsm - Papermilldirect
Acetate, Tissue Paper, Chocolate Eggs
Adhesives - Clear Cosmic Shimmer Glue, 3D foam

Tools Used:
Cricut Explore using the Design Space software
Easter Basket: Design Space link as follows: https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/25671504

Love and be Loved!! with Papermill and Visible Image Stamps

We are well into January now and crafters I'm sure will be working on their Valentines projects.  Have you checked out  +papermilldirect's new seasonal landing page 'Valentines'.  Don't forget to also check out the 'Special Offers' section too, a brand new offer has just been added,  20 sheets of 250gsm Black Card for just £4-00

So with the Valentines theme in mind I thought it would be nice to combine some stamping and colouring along with my cricut explore this week. 

The base card was cut on the Explore using papermilldirect white linen card and Post Box Red card.  I love the texture of the linen and along with the red, it's a classic Valentine combo.  Using a grey pen I added some faux stitching detail around the edges of the white card front, sort of stitches with dots that I hoped echoed the rivets on the Tin Man.  Using the sentiment stamp of 'Love and be Loved' from the set, I stamped with black Memento ink into the heart aperture area of the red card.  I then attached the white heart aperture panel to the red card base using 3D foam pads to create depth.

The 'Oz Tin Man' stamp set is really cute  and this was my first chance to play with it.  (there are other characters in this series by +Visible Image which celebrate 75 years of Oz) Using black Memento ink, I stamped the Tin Man and his little clockwork heart onto smooth white card and coloured with Promarkers.  I kept the shades subdued with just a few greys, pale blues and dashes of red shades. (unfortunately it was a dark dull day when i took the pics so I used my daylight lamp and not sure if it washed out the colours a bit but hopefully you can see some colouring :D)  I then carefully cut around the Tin Man and Heart and added them to the card front using 3D foam pads.

For the inside of the card I used the white linen heart shape that was cut from the front panel, it gave a co-ordinated look and was ideal size for the sentiment.  It's nice when you are able to use the shapes that would normally be discarded.

For the finishing touches I added some red faux gems in heart shapes and a little trim of red & white bakers twin tied in a bow.

Materials Used: 
White linen Card, Smooth White Card - Essentials Range - Papermill Direct
Post Box Red Card - Colours Range - Papermill Direct  
'Oz Tin Man' stamp set - Visible Image Stamps 
 Promarkers
Grey Glaze Pen - Sakura
Bakers Twine and faux gems from my craft stash
Adhesives - Double Sided Tape, 3 Foam Pads
Tools - Hougie Board to score and Cricut Explore for base.


Challenges Entered: 
I'm going to enter this card in the 'January - Show & Tell' over at Visible Image's facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/visibleimage/photos/

Joy to You & Yours ... with Papermill & Oakhouse Studio

Waving hello and welcome to another +papermilldirect blog post.  This week's Special offer is the super popular 'White Felt Embossed' card which is just £6 for a small box of approx. 80 sheets!! (Link here).

The Design Team are still working hard on Christmas projects and I have a new one to share with you too. (challenges, links, materials lists, etc at end of post).
 This time I thought it would be nice to test out some new toys (spray inks from +oakhousestudio) and see what happens when used with Papermill's 'Plain White' card.  This versatile card was put through it's paces to create this Christmas Bauble card.
First I embossed the background panel, then proceeded to cut and emboss the various elements to make the bauble design.  The card base is also 'Plain White' card scored and folded, and then I gently swiped 'Pumpkin Pie' ink round the outer edge.  More 'Pumpkin Pie', along with 'Tempting Teal', 'French Lavender' and 'Glorious Gold' was applied to the individual parts to layer the bauble.  I used a mixture of swiping, spraying and painting with a paintbrush to bring out the design.  I love the effect of the  'Glorious Gold' when sprayed, it gives a beautiful speckly sparkly effect (my apologies the pics here do not show up all the prettiness).  I sprayed the background panel and also the die cut pieces with lots of gold ink to create shimmer.
 The bauble design was layered up using 3D foam pads to give lots of depth and texture.   I added a vintage gold coloured sheer ribbon to the top, tied in a bow, and faux pearls in different sizes to decorate.
 My little crafty playtime ink testing turned into a completed project, and I do love how it turned out.


Materials Used: 
Plain White Card - Essentials Range - Papermill Direct
Glorious Gold, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Teal, & French Lavender - Ink in a bottle Spray Inks - Oakhouse Studio
Ornament Set #657974 (embossing folders & Dies set) - Sizzix 
Ribbon and Faux pearls from my craft cupboards


Challenges Entered:  (Sadly I was too late to enter the Oakhouse Studio Challenge)

But I am entering the Nostalgic Christmas Challenge over at http://countryviewchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/decembers-festive-challenge.html
The theme is Nostalgic Christmas and not necessarily vintage, pop over and take a look at all the fab entries so far.  I choose to make this card as the bauble design reminds me of christmasses past and some old glass ornaments that were my grandmother's, I still try and pop a couple on the tree each year but they are so fragile and break easily.  The wording too conjures up a heartfelt sentiment.

Botanical Notes...with Trimcraft

I was recently given some brand new paper collections to play with, and well, to be honest I couldn't stop oohing and ahhing over this one called 'Botanical Notes' it is from the premium 'First Edition' range by +Trimcraft Ltd  and the designs, colours, patterns and finishes really wowed me.  So much so that I spent a few days just stroking the pages of the pads before I could bring myself to take scissors to them!!  I'm sure if you're a paper-crafter then you will understand. I almost had an 'I am not worthy' moment before pulling myself together and getting stuck in. :D

So what did I make first?  I was immediately drawn to a rather beautiful floral pearlescent paper that made me think of silk, and I spied a bright gold foiled paper too.  I do like to use black as a contrast and the minute I placed some black alongside these papers it almost created itself.  I think this card has a bit of an Oriental feel about it and if you'd like to find out more then please do pop over to the Trimcraft Gallery where you will find a materials list and step-by-step instructions.  (Link Here).

There is such a variety of papers in 'Botanical Notes' you can create varied looks.  The paper pads come in 3 sizes 12x12, 8x8, and 6x6 something to suit all your paper-crafting needs.  For my 2nd make I decided on a little notebook with a matching pencil.

I do like a little 'play on words' from time to time and the music note paper sort of went with the theme of 'Notes' and the birds, hopefully bringing the design together.  Again if you would like to see more pics, including the inside, the materials list and also a step by step 'how to' to make your own notepad, then do please pop over to the Gallery (Link Here)

I have another project to share made with this collection, which I will post later this week. If you fancy WINNING the 'Botanical Notes' and the 'Sail Away' collections then do pop over and enter the Monthly Competition (Link Here). 

If you want to check out all the projects created by the Design Team, then do check out the Official +Trimcraft Ltd  Gallery (Link Here)

Thank you for stopping by and if you have any questions at all or just want to say hello, then please do post a comment :)

Getting Merry... with Papermill

Hello again, and as promised here is my 2nd make with the Special Offer 'Warm White' card from +papermilldirect  (£6-77 for a small box or why not treat yourself to the Midi  box at £20). 

This time I'm getting all Merry with a little festive pyramid box that would be great to pop little treats or gifts in and hang on the tree or pop on the table for Christmas dinner guests.  (Materials List, Links and a quick 'how to' are at the bottom of this post)
Using my Cricut Explore I used a design set called 'Fancy Boxes' and cut the Pyramid shaped box from Papermill's 'Warm White' card.  This was the first time using the Cricut's scoring tool and it worked quite well on this 270gsm cardstock making the job of folding much easier.

The Centre panel has been cut from lovely 'Post Box Red' card and the brightness helps to set off the jaunty 'Merry' sentiment.  For the holly shape I first coloured in promarkers and then topped it off with green and red glitter glues to add a touch of sparkle.

I found a red & green tartan ribbon in my ribbon drawer and threaded it through the holes at the top of the pyramid shape tying it in a loose bow, so it can be easily opened to get to the treats inside.

Materials Used: 
Warm White - Special Offer Card - Papermill Direct
Post Box Red card - Colours range - Papermill Direct
Promarkers in Red and Green, Glitter Glues in Red and Green, Tartan Ribbon



This project was created using a Cricut Explore and the Design Space Software, as follows:


In Design Space, search for the 'Fancy Boxes' Image set and locate the Merry pyramid box shape and insert image onto your screen mat. 
You can resize the shape by using the resize tool at the bottom right corner of your image and pull it to desired size.  (I often find it difficult to visualise the completed size of a box - so to make it easier for myself, I found (in Design Space) another image of a basic Square and inserted that onto the mat to use as a template to help me size the bottom of the pyramid box.  I wanted the bottom to measure roughly between  3" to 3.5" square, so I sized the new square to those dimensions and then placed that over the pyramid box to guide me to the size to drag the pyramid box shape to (much simpler than I made it sound).  When you have the right shape for your pyramid box then you can delete the extra square as it is not needed.
(Pic to help show the sizing on the Cricut Mat)
 Then be sure to pop your scoring tool into your Explore so that it can cut and score at the same time.  Once it's cut out, you can fold the box along the score lines.  The extra panel (I cut in red card) is also in the Fancy Boxes design set and can be cut out or you could just cut a panel of card by hand to fit behind the 'merry sentiment'.  Glue the red panel in place behind the front 'Merry'.  

Colour the holly with green and red pro-markers, adding some red and green glitter glue if desired.  Thread your ribbon through the holes in the top sections of the box and gently pull together to close it, you may wish to tie your bow very loosely so it can be opened easily to put treats inside and get them out again :)

Merry Kissmas!! ...with Papermill

Gosh it's December already, where did my year go?  feels like Christmas is really coming up fast now, but there is still time to make those projects and cards and +papermilldirect have lots of goodies on their Special Offers page including a new one for this week, it is a gorgeous 270gsm Warm White card at just £6-77 for a small box or why not treat yourself to the Midi  box at £20?

I have 2 makes to share with you this week, both using this week's Special Offer 'Warm White' cardstock, and I will share one tomorrow too, but first up is a simple design based around a theme of mistletoe and kisses.

 I used my Cricut Explore to design this card and created an oval aperture card from the 'Warm White' offer card. The silhouette of the couple embracing was cut from Navy Blue card and positioned inside aperture, (I sat it on the oval that was cut from the card front).
I cut Mistletoe shapes using  'Apple Green' and 'Post Box Red' Papermill card and attached to the front just above the aperture.  Liquid Pearls provide the berries.

The sentiment 'Merry Kissmas' was also designed and written with the Cricut Explore using a Cricut pen in 'Metallic Copper'.

I think the Papermill 'Warm White' card worked really well for this project especially using Navy Blue rather than black for the couple.  I could have embellished further but I really like the simple styling and think it works well with the theme.  


Materials Used: 
Warm White - Special Offer Card - Papermill Direct
Navy Blue, Apple Green, & Post Box Red card - Colours range - Papermill Direct
Liquid Pearls, Cricut Metallic Marker Pen in ' Metallic Copper'

The Magic of Winter...with Papermill

Something really pretty about snowflakes and sparkly fresh snow, even though i don't much care for the coldness of it all, it is still something really pretty and festive when it snows.

If you get the newseltters you will have seen the beautiful snowflake embossing that Sharon has done with This week's +papermilldirect offer it's something a little different, it's a fabulously blue shiny 270gsm card called, yes you guessed it 'Shiny Blue' and it's on offer for just £6-23 per samll box, grab it whilst you can as I doubt stocks will last.

This week I'm sharing a design I have made to stand on my own mantlepiece this Christmas, featuring an Ice Dancer dancing in the snow.  (As always Materials, links, and Challenges entered are at the end of the post :) )

This one sort of evolved around my love of a scene in the movie Edward Scissorhands, where the girl is dancing in the snow flakes / ice.  Whilst my figure is an ice dancer it just conjured up that feeling of joy as the crisp pretty sparkly snow falls.


I designed most of this one on my Cricut Explore.  The base card is cut and layered using Papermill Teal and Sky Blue card.  I added a piece of white hammered card which I had torn and added glitter jewels along the torn edge to create a snowy feel.

The ice dancer was cut from Buff, Baby Pink, and Plain White papermill card. I added some subtle detailing with a versamark pen and the blades of the ice skates have been coloured with a pale grey pro-marker.  Mini faux pearls and a metal snowflake charm were added to her dress.  I attached her with 3D foam pads to give depth to the design.

The sentiment was cut and layered from Teal, and Sky Blue card, I used Buff card to create the shadow base.

Some of the snowflakes were cut with my Cricut Explore but the majority were dies run through my Big Shot.  I added various adhesive gems and pearls in pale blue and pink to the snowflakes. I love the colour combo of the pale pink and blues with the buff and teal.

Materials Used: 
Plain White and White Hammered card - Essentials range - Papermill Direct
Teal, Sky Blue, Baby Pink, and Buff card - Colours range - Papermill Direct
Faux gems & pearls, metal snowflake charm, tiny faux pearl string
versamark pen, promarkers and glitter jewels

P...P...Penguins!! ... with Papermill

Hello, welcome to another week and news of a +papermilldirect special offer.  
 This week it is a 120gsm Snow White Pearlised paper at a bargain price of just £16-22 for an A4 small box (approx. 160 sheets that should keep you going for a while!!)

Let's talk Penguins!!  Penguins are cute and seem to be everywhere at the moment, so I thought I'd theme some Christmas cards around this popular cute character.

It was my birthday recently, and one of my B'day pressies was the new Cricut Explore, although I was a bit naughty and tested it early (well I needed to know it worked okay ;) )  One of the features I was wanting to test out was the 'writing pens' and the 'cut & write' at same time, so these cards feature my first attempt at that.

I started out by cutting the Penguin with candy lollipop using the Cricut Explore and the ‘Winter Frolic’ image set. I used the white hammered card for the body of the penguin as I felt the texture would add interest and a hint of fur to the penguin's tummy.  I was really surprised how well the cricut cut the teeny tiny cane / stick for the lollipop, I was using the papermill buff card for this and it cuts so smoothly and cleanly even with that tiny sliver.

 The wording ‘Sweet Winter Wishes’ has been created using the ‘Cricut Alphabet’ font using the ‘write’ option and a ‘Midnight’ black cricut pen. The wording panel has been cut and written at the same time in the cricut (first time I’ve tried this) using papermill's ‘Plain White’ card, the writing was even and sat neatly on the papermill 'plain white' card surface.

A touch of detail Glitter has been added to the Santa Hat and some ‘Glitter Jewels’ by Cosmic Shimmer provide the snow for the penguin to stand on. The Penguin has been attached to the card front with 3D foam pads to give a little depth to the design. I made 2 cards with a ‘Post Box Red’ card base and 2 using the ‘Sky Blue’ card. Each card measures approx. 5.5” square.  I think it's nice to use bright colours for card bases, you can add a white insert and it really makes the designs more eyecatching, Papermill Direct has a whole rainbow of coloured card to choose from.



Materials List:
Plain White Card - Essentials Range - Papermill Direct
White Hammered card - Essentials Range - Papermill Direct
Post Box Red, Sky Blue, Black, Daffodil Yellow and Buff card - Colours Range - Papermill Direct
'White Shimmer' Detail Sparkle - Imagination Crafts
Cosmic Shimmer 'Glitter Jewels' - Creative Expressions
Cricut Explore (using Winter Frolic, and Cricut Alphabet)

Party!! with Papermill

Hello and welcome to this week's makes with +papermilldirect

The theme for the Design Team this week is Parties!!  Yay!!  and if you're holding a party over the festive period or looking to New Year then you may be thinking of making your own invites.

Have you ever checked out the Special Offers section?, well worth taking a look as not only is a new special offer launched each week, but there are often some previous offers still available whilst stocks last.  This week there is a yummy sounding Biscuit card (240gsm) at just £5-50 for 80 sheets.

So back to the party then!! and sharing my design for a New Year's Eve party invitation but it could be adapted for other occasions too.




 I started off by creating a tent fold card base from 'Navy Blue' card to which I added a panel of 'Sky Blue' card across the centre.  I used my little Cricut Mini to cut a layered clock design from Navy Blue, Grey, and rich cream hammered card.  Adding the numbers '2015' die-cut manually from 'Post Box Red' card.  (As the clock is basically layered circles you could also cut with a manual die cutter if preferred). I also cut the 'Party' sentiment in post box red and navy blue card, and layered slightly to give a slight shadow effect.

The layered champagne glasses were cut from smooth white card and the 'glass' part coloured with an ice grey promarker, the 'champagne' was coloured with a pastel yellow promarker and topped with Detail Sparkle glitter glue, I was hoping to give the impression of sparkling bubbly wine.

The simple  shapes are easy to line up and if making a large quantity you could get away with not having so many layers to the clock and maybe stamping the '2015' and 'party' wording.
 I like using the red card to add a pop of colour to the classic blues and greys.

So will you be having a Party this year?  Are you making your own invites?  If you have any questions or just want to say hello, then please do comment, and thank you so much for popping by today :)
 

Materials used: 
Navy blue, Sky Blue, Grey, Post Box Red card - Colours Range - Papermill Direct
Rich Cream Hammered card - Essentials Range - Papermill Direct
Detail Sparkle in 'White Shimmer' for the 'wine'. 
Ice Grey & Pastel Yellow promarkers
Mostly cut using Cricut Mini
