Steampunk Spells Layouts - Seymour and Voyages

Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 9 and 10. I have named these ones: Seymour and Voyages.

I have not yet decided which photos to use in this album - the options are endless! When preparing the photo frames, I have adhered only part of the frame and will slip the photo in underneath and then adhere as required.

I hope you have enjoyed my Steampunk Spells Layouts and will be inspired to create many multi- layered layouts! 

Thank you for following along with my album and hope to see you again soon!

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Keys and Potions

Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 7 and 8. I have named these ones: Keys and Potions.

Have you been following along with my layouts? Have you spotted the antics of black cat? Sometimes he is front and centre - other times he is cheekily peeking out from behind the photo frames...

Have you also spotted the stamped owl and little black heart stamped on every page? I enjoyed creating these pages so much that I think I will create a further 10 pages as I have so many more Halloween papers and elements!

Only 2 more pages to go for this album!

See you again soon!

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Faces and Howlet

 Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 5 and 6. I have named these ones: Faces and Howlet.

To prepare these layouts, I chose my base layers and the smaller layers first, then die cut many elements. I pre-planned the photo frames for each page, allowing for three photos to be added to every page in the future. I die cut one larger black cat, spiders, bats, webs, leaves, labels, frames etc for every page. I then laid all ten base pages on my table and spread the elements across each to ensure I had enough for every layout.

I then went through all the Graphic 45 die cuts and ephemera packs and sorted these according to the base pages. I placed all the elements into 10 separate pockets and then created all the layouts one by one. The sequins and rhinestones were all added last.

How are you enjoying these layouts? They are very busy, however I am in love!

Be sure to visit again soon for pages 7 and 8!

Steampunk Spells Layouts - Clock and Curious

 Hello

Continuing on with my album of 10 Layouts, below is pages 3 and 4. I have named these ones: Clock and Curious.

I have included a black cat, spiderwebs, bats and or spiders on every page!

I started with the base page, then layered with a smaller page which is the structure for all the other layers. Tucked in under this smaller page is a pocket which holds Journal Cards for adding details from the future photos. This was also a great way of using some of the ephemera from Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells range.

Back again soon with pages 5 and 6!

Thank you for visiting!

Butterfly and Dragonfly ''50'' Birthday Card featuring Stampin' Up and EK Success...

Hello,

When you use butterfly and/or dragonfly images, you know you will always create beautiful cards and for this reason they are great images to use when making those 'Special' Birthday Cards.

I have die-cut the butterfly and punched the dragonfly from a silver glitter card, which I have also used as a layer on the black cardstock card base.

The butterfly is a die from Stampin' Up - Butterflies Thinlits Dies.

The dragonfly is a punch from EK Success - Dragonfly.

The 'Happy Birthday" is die cut from Elizabeth Craft Designs - Happy Birthday.

The '50' is die cut from Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Vintage Market Alphabet.

Did you notice the patterned paper also features butterflies? You could even say a flutter of butterflies!

I'm fluttering off to be creative!

Stampin' Up Flourishing Phrases Birthday Card...

Hello,

This absolutely beautiful '80' Birthday Card features Stampin' Up's Die set - Flourishing Phrases and the Pot is stamped using Stampin' Ups' background die - 'Sanded'.

The card is made to A5 size - to be able to fit the size of the pot holding the flowers.

This is one of my favourite cards that I have ever created - the glitter layer along with the 'berries' being die-cut using the same glitter card and then followed by the small gold brads being used as the flower centres - give this card such a touch of elegance - suitable for an 80 year old Lady!

A very special card - for a very special Lady!

Celebrate your day!

Gatefold Dragonfly Cards

Hello

In my stash were these beautiful papers from Pastime Crafts. There was only two sheets each of 15 x 15 cm papers, and it seemed to be a shame to cut them up or cover them in a design, so I came up with this gatefold design

The card for each design is matched to the main colour in the papers, and the dragonflies are die cut from glitter card to match.
For each card 1 sheet of paper was used for one front panel and the inside panel. The second front panel was cut from the second sheet of paper. (The remainder of this second sheet will be used as a front panel on another card).
Double sided sticky sheet was added to the glitter card before die cutting the dragonflies. These dragonflies were then added to acetate which formed the gate on the card front.
The acetate panel was attached to the card front with double sided sticky sheet covering the back of the half section.
A small panel of card, stamped with a dragonfly was added to the inside of each card for a message.
A small glittered metal dragonfly and three rhinestones were added to the top left and bottom right corners of the front acetate panel, and rhinestones to the top left and bottom right corners of the card.
I am pleased with the result, as the dragonflies appear to be floating across the card.

Till next time
Keep happy
