Tattered Lace Starlights Collection

Hiya crafty friends,

I'm back!! I've not been able to post for a while because of major issues with my blog, but fingers crossed things are now resolved and I can share all my crafty adventures with you all again.

Well, my first post back with you all is going to be so big and not to overwhelm you with so many photos I am going to do it in parts! Part 2 will be with you tomorrow


I hope you could all tune into the Create and Craft craftinator this morning to see the launch of the stunning new Starlights Collection from Tattered Lace. 

I was lucky enough to work with some of the dies before the launch to make samples for the shows.

The first is using the Happy Birthday Starlight Plaque, which I have used to go 'over the edge' the edge of the card (I will post soon how you can achieve this).

 
I also used the Happy Birthday Starlight Plaque to make this wall hanger



 I ABSOLUTELY love this embossing folder set from the Embossing older multibuy. The one I have used is Floral set. I debossed the large background design on to white card that can take alcohol marker pens. I then coloured the recess' using my Promarker/Flexmarkers. The colours I used are:

Large Rose - Pale Blossom (Flexmarker)
Rose Bud - Blossom (Promarker)
Leaves - Meadow Green (Promarker)
Vines/base of buds - Honeydew (Flexmarkers)


 


Using the corner and border embossing folders that are also included in the set I made the card belo.

The folders are cleverly designed so I was able to deboss all four of the corners of he gold card without flattening any of the designs as I move around.


There are two border folders in the set and I used the first to emboss four strips of  kraft card, I then mitered them so I could form the square. The second border folder was used on some more kraft card, which I then coloured the design using Distress Marker Pens and I them fussy cut around the edges and arranged around the Happy Birthday Starlight Plaque and added a double bow which can be made using the Embellishment Attic Bow Maker.





Join me tomorrow, where a share a few more makes.
 
See you then

Tattered Lace August Challenge - Decadence

Hiya craft friends,

It's time for another fantastic Tattered Lace Challenge with the fabulous theme of Decadence. So why not join us over at the challenge blog and be in with a chance winning a Tattered Lace prize! What a fabulous excuse to go all out, which is exactly what I did and loved every minute.And what can be more decadent than a masquerade ball.



Step by step
1.       Cover a mask with wide lace using a tacky glue
2.       Using gold card cut a Venetian Border (http://www.crafting.co.uk/index.php/tattered-lace-dies-venetian-border-accent.html ) and adhere above the eyes on the mask and apply some flat back pearls underneath
3.       Cut a Derwent Border from gold card and apply to the back of the mask overlapping the top. Cut the accent  from the Venetian Border (http://www.crafting.co.uk/index.php/tattered-lace-dies-venetian-border-accent.html) from gold card and snip away the flower from the centre and adhere to the centre of the Derwent Border at the top of the mask.
4.       Again using gold card, cut a Venetian Fern (http://www.crafting.co.uk/index.php/tattered-lace-dies-venetian-fern.html ). Snip the flowers from each side and place to the corner of the mask. Cut the accent  from the Venetian Border (http://www.crafting.co.uk/index.php/tattered-lace-dies-venetian-border-accent.html) from blue glitter card and place at the bottom of the flowers and apply a large gem in the centre.
5.       Cut the centre of the Venetian fern that was left over from step 4 in half and add to both corners of the mask.
6.       Cut various length of ribbon and attach to both sides of the mask.


 


Thanks for stopping by

Tattered Lace Chalenge - Elegance

Hiya crafty friends,

The fabulous Tattered Lace challenge is here again and this month it is all about Elegance

To m you csn't get more elegant than the Tattered Lace Dies, so I wante stageed them to take centre stage. 

With more than a huge dollop of inspiration from my favourite crafter of all time Becca


The basket was made with two different corners dies,  Studley Corner and Hardwick Corner and the handle was made using the Studley Border


When it come to elegance I always feel less is more so I didn't add too much just some pearls and a satin ribbon bow and ribbon rose.



Hope you can join me and th rest of the fabulous design team over on the challenge blog
