Dylusions Dyalog goodies....

Hello,

A bit of a different post for you today...

I watched a Ranger Ink youtube video recently here where Dyan Reaveley showed us her Dyalog range and I instantly fell in love!! How could you not!

So I purchased 1 of each of the covers...

and I selected which of the inserts that I knew I would use...

2 of the "Background" inserts, 1 "Handwriting" inserts, 1 "Ruled" insert, 1 "Black" insert, 2 "Blank" inserts, a set of the "Pocket" inserts and a pack of the bands.

I must admit it felt like Christmas when I opened my eagerly awaited parcel!!

Woohoo, after taking my photos to share with you, I have unwrapped and set up my two Dyalogs.

I am sure you will fall in love with this range of products!

Baby Cards - Kaszazz

Hello

A quick post today with some baby cards, created with products from Kaszazz.

The first card has an image from Early years collage sheet, die cut into an oval then layered onto pink, then white scalloped ovals die cut from pearl card. The stamped sentiment is also layered onto die cut ovals. These are then attached to an embossed, ribbon wrapped panel of white card and placed on to a white card base.

The Trio of birds has been stamped on to white card, coloured with watercolour pencils, then die cut. This was attached to a lemon pearl card die cut, then to an embossed, ribbon wrapped paper panel. This was all added to a white card base and a stamped, punched label attached.

The final card has vintage teddies stamped on to vanilla card, coloured with watercolour pencils, die cut and attached to ribbon wrapped patterned paper. A stamped die cut label was added and coloured buttons, tied with twine finished the design.

These cards are quick to make and give a great result.

Till next time

Birthday Cards for Kids

Hello

Do you know a little someone who is having a birthday?
Here are a couple of ideas for cards for them.

This card was a special order. The happy birthday is cut from a die by Kaszazz. The Grandson and the #2 are dies from Stampin'up. A dinosaur (Stampin'up - No bones about it set) and tracks was stamped on to white card, then the dinosaur stamped a second time on to more white card, and fussy cut. A leaf frond was embossed then lightly chalked, behind the stamped dinosaur, the die cuts were added, then the panel was matted to patterned paper then on to a white card base. The cut out dinosaur was mounted on to the card. A hand drawn border was added to the panel, and a couple of candy dots finished the design.

These cards have the magical touch for those who love princesses, knights in shining armour, and of course, unicorns.

Princess card coloured with watercolour pencils, and the other two with alcohol markers. Gemstones and touches of glossy accents were the final additions.

The little ones would love these cards.

Till next time

Covered Spiral Notebooks...

Hello,

Todays selection of notebooks are spiral bound and have been covered using three different but similar techniques...

This first notebook was covered using patterned paper. I also cut an image from the paper and have added this to the front with added dimension. Rhinestones, glitter washi tape and ribbons complete the embellishments.

The next two notebooks were covered with layers of cardstock, the top layer has been stencilled with texture paste, spritzed with a homemade spray (re-inker and water) and stamped with random images.  Purchased flowers have been layered and added to the blue notebook along with a rhinestone flourish.  A ribbon selection, crocheted and burlap flowers and die-cut white leaves embellish the white notebook.

Lastly, these two notebooks were covered with adhesive material. Kaisercraft flowers, a selection of brads, washi tape, die-cut leaves and a simple ribbon attachment have been used to complete these.

Define Notebook...

a small book with blank or ruled pages for writing notes in

a book of or for notes

a book for notes or memoranda

a small book or binder of paper pages, often ruled, used for purposes such as recording notes or memoranda, writing, drawing or scrapbooking...

For whatever reason you use your notebook, I am sure everyone owns at least one!

Have a noteworthy day!

Kaisercraft Captured Moments - 60th Birthday Card...

Hello,

Todays' beautiful card is created with multiple layers of card, glitter card and features Journal Cards from the Kaisercraft Captured Moments Antique Bliss Journal Card pack.

The pack contains 4"x6" cards so I created a larger card base and offset the layers with a bronze glitter card.

I die cut and applied glossy accents to the numbers, the 'happy birthday' is stamped from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and the 'Beautiful life' is also cut from a Journal card from the pack.

I applied glossy accents to the wording on the front of and embellished with sequins and rhinestones.

A couple of the other cards in this pack feature beautiful sayings and images so I cannot wait to use these in future creations...

Live, Laugh and Love,

Fairies Mini Album

Good Morning

I haven't shown you a mini album for a while, so here is a fairy album recently created.
Stamped images and rhymes are from Lavinia stamps. Other magical sentiments are from Kaszazz.

The album is 6 inches square and has 8 internal pages.

I have added pockets and tags through the album so there is plenty of room for photos and stories.

The album is bound with rings to allow pages to be added or removed

Rhinestones, Stickles and Wink of Stella pens add sparkle.

Till next time

have a magical happy time

Mini photo albums using Tim Holtz Alterations, Stampin' Up and Cuttlebug...

Hello.

By using a selection of embossing folders, coloured and white cardstock, lettering dies and an envelope pocket die, I have created covers for these instax sized photo albums.

The envelope die is from Stampin' Up - Big Shot Scallop Envelope...

Lettering Die used here: Tim Holtz Alterations Vintage Market... 

Blue Lettering: Tim Holtz Alterations Typeset...

Red Lettering: Tim Holtz Alterations Chip Block...

Embossing Folders: Green - Stampin' Up Textured Impressions Square Lattice

Blue: Cuttlebug Script

Red: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots

Each album has an elastic closure and of course doesn't necessarily need to be used for photos... any small memento eg ticket stubs etc can be treasured in these albums. 

Hope to see you again soon,

thanks for visiting
