Crafter's Inspiration 13


My latest project for Crafter's Companion Inspirers uses the delicious goodies that come with Crafter's Inspiration 13.


My card is 8x8" with the front folded diagonally, it's covered with papers from the CD that's included printed onto Printable light card which is currently on offer.



The butterflies were made using the deep die petals which I have embossed using the dotty folder that comes in the pack too. The smallest one was perfect for the body. I shaped the wings and raised them using Collall 3d glue gel.


The sentiment is also on the CD and is cut with the tag die that comes with the Gemini.
All of the petals were cut in one pass - 4 layers of  300gsm Centura Pearl!

Thanks for taking a look

Magical jar and matching card

My latest samples for Crafter's Companion were made using the Xyron Creative Station.
It's fabulous for laying a film of adhesive to all manor of things from delicate tissue paper to buttons and gems.


Most things (apart from those with dimension) were added to these using it.


I used an old sweetie jar and added the elements all round - Tim Holtz tissue paper, Sara's Autumn Morning fence panels, lace etc.


The inside was packed with pink tissue paper wrapped with led lights.



Thanks for taking a peek.

White Butterfly

Today one of my best friends said farewell to her Father - a very sad time!


I made her a card using an embossing folder from Sara's Signature Birthday Party collection (CC) and a Tim Holtz sizzix butterfly.
