More Delightfully Detailed

Oh my gosh - this Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Designer Series Paper (there's a mouthful for you!) is just divine - here's another card I made with it, and it's just as gorgeous as my last card was.



I love the delicate look of this paper.  Again, it's the 'ombre' look of the card underneath that makes this look like it's a little overexposed to the right of the card.

A reminder that you have to be very careful when cutting the Delightfully Detailed paper, and to adhere it I used Liquid Multipurpose Glue and sponged it over the whole piece of paper. I didn't want to run the risk of the some of the detail getting scuffed as it was slipped into the envelope.

I used the Perennial Birthday stamp set to stamp the sentiment.

This was an easy to make card.

Take care,

Delightfully Detailed

Thank you for stopping by!

I've used a couple of items from this suite for the first time - and they really are super easy to use, as long as you're careful.

Check this card out:

The Delightfully Detailed Note Cards are a great buy - they match sizewise with the Delightfully Detailed Designer Series Paper, and they come already coloured. The area to the top right of this photo is not over exposed (although it looks a little like it could be), but that's the way the card is. There are several different colours and styles of note card. They come with matching envelopes in Very Vanilla as well - ready to go!

I finally got brave and cut into the Delightfully Detailed Designer Series Paper. This has gorgeous lacy patterns - and there are some that you can use on these notelets, some you can use as borders. They are white on one side and Very Vanilla on the other.  You could always sponge some colour onto them as well.

I found the cutting very nerve racking, however once I got started it was fine.  You do have to be quite careful, and I did find that when I went to take the rest of the DSP out of my cutter I had to be very careful as it kept getting caught.

I decided to sponge the Liquid Mulitpurpose Glue (also known as Tombow) onto the back of the piece I was using and I went all over with this piece as I could see pieces getting bent as I put them into the envelope.

The sentiment and flower were out of the Perennial Birthday stamp set, and I used the Triple Banner Punch to cut the 'flag' end of the sentiment.  I stamped in Rich Razzleberry Ink, and I used the Light Rich Razzleberry Blend to colour the flower.  I then adhered the sentiment using dimensionals.

As you can see - most of the work is done for you, and with care, it's easy to create masterpieces!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Pinterest Favourites for this week

Welcome to my blog!

Today I'm going to show you what my favourite Pinterest saves were this week.  I have to be very careful on Pinterest as I can waste heaps of time...so I've learned to put a timer on, and then actually stopping when the timer goes off!

Anyway - without further ado, here are my favourite picks:

JanBcards.com

Stampingwithtracy.com

stampininthesand.blogspot.com

runningwscissorsstamper.blogspot.com

heartsdelightcards.com

stampwithamyk

I was thinking about this as I put this blog together, and it's a really nice way of showing you projects made with products that I don't own.  As much as I would love to 'have it all', that's not possible.  Also good to show you different styles to my own.

I hope you enjoyed my selection

Take care,
Andrea

Love What You Do

Those who know me would tell you that I'm very deliberate about things I do, and my crafting style follows this - everything that can be straight I aim to have perfectly straight.  I've been seeing lots of people ripping paper to give a less rigid affect, and I finally used it myself for the first time.



This is a super simple card, but I think it's lovely - and the ripped paper stops it from being too clinical. 

I started with a base of Crumb Cake cardstock, and used Berry Burst card stock for the mat.  Next I have a piece of the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, and then a smaller piece of another sheet of the same series of paper.  The pink striped one I ripped very carefully - it was easy to rip it straightish (or I would never have managed to be happy with it).

I finished off the card with a piece of Whisper White cardstock, and I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black ink.  The sentiment is from the Love What You Do stamp set.  Three of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls 

I hope you enjoy making this card.

Have a good Sunday

Andrea
