Keeping Busy?

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well and busy crafting. I've been visiting your blogs as and when I can over the last few days and there have been some beautiful projects to fire up the creative juices.
I have been creating myself but I can't show most of them just yet, some are DT cards and some are for Birthdays that haven't happened yet so I can't spoil the surprise for the recipients. I can however share these two little lovelies....

Both of these are made from a Papermania Decoupage pack
On the first one I added some die cuts to the design -

Marianne Designs Creatables LR0279 & LR0280

MFT Rolled flower die

Joy Crafts flower die

I cut these die cuts and the flowers from the peach coloured packaging and inked through the die (the corners) to give it dimension. This backing card was the perfect match and if you look closely you can see the little butterfly design from the pack.

The second card just has the die cut shapes from the pack although I did make the rosette.

Aren't these images so girly? Handbags and dresses, what more could a girl ask for? :0)

Docrafts Papermania 'Bellisima'

Hi Crafters,
Hope you are all well and enjoying a little bit of sunshine in your part of the world. Recently I have been trying to shake off a virus which is a persistent little beggar and just when you think you are feeling better it rears it's ugly head again and knocks me back. This is why I haven't been posting on my blog as frequently as I have in the past, I just haven't had the energy or enthusiasm to create much. However, I still have orders to complete so I have chosen to use the new die-cut decoupage sets from Docrafts to help me out with my mojo. This new range is called Bellisima and is very subtle in colour and great for these three Mother's Day cards that I had been asked for.

Sorry about the light in this photo but one minute the sun was out and the next it was cloudy so it is what it is.

Here they are individually-

 



All the layers are already die-cut for you so it's just a case of pushing them out of the backing sheet and layering them up, then I added some glamour dust on the decoupage and various parts of the card to make it sparkle. The backing papers came in the kit too but I used various dies from my stash to make the frames and sentiment labels. I'm loving this little corner die from 'La La Land Crafts' at the moment, it's very dainty and looked just right for these feminine cards.
I'm entering these in to the challenge at TTCRD - Anything Goes.

Enjoy your evening folks!
