Vellum - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Not sure where this week has gone but I've worked really hard and am looking forward to having a break over the long weekend. 

The Daring Cardmakers would like to see you use vellum this week.  I decided to make an little pocket for my bookmark out of vellum so that the wording on the bookmark still showed through.

I predominantly used a Hunkydory collection then added a Craftwork Cards sentiment and some die cut leaves.

The WRMK Envelope board punch came in handy to make my envelope and I used coloured vellum which I think goes well with the design.  I'm a fan of coloured vellum as it means you can still see through but with added colour.

You can see lots more inspiration on ways to use vellum from the Design Team HERE and I do hope that you'll join in.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Crafting with the Geometric Kraft Collection

Happy Friday!

I was recently looking for papers that would work for male cards. I've been a fan of the Papermania Geometric collections since they came out and had some papers from the Geometric Neon Collection that I enjoyed using. I just happened to come across a pre loved Kraft collection pack at a good price and had to have it!

My first creation was made for my Mum to give to my brother on his birthday. 

The second card I made was a commission for someone getting a new job. 

There are 3 alphabet sticker sheets in the pack which co-ordinate really well but I found the adhesive wasn't great on them so had to add glue which defeated the purpose. I used chalk ink around the layers to make them stand out a little more. 

For both these cards I've used foiled vellum as part of the layering. I'm loving vellum at the moment, especially if it's foiled!

My final card using the collection was made for a 60th Birthday. 

Thank you for looking and enjoy the bank holiday weekend!
