Me to You - Not only for Mother's Day

It is really time to catch up with some project instructions. I will start with two cards featuring the Me to You Mother's Day collection by Trimcraft. But do not worry, the products are not just great for Mother's Day cards but for feminine cards in general.

For both cards in this blog post I used the glitter decoupage pad and the 6" x 6" premium paper pack. And I could not resist to incorporate some die-cuts created with the brand-new Belle & Boo die set (also by Trimcraft). I think this is one of my favourite die sets. I just love the border, the frame, the wee bow and the rabbit. And the balloon comes in handy for party invites, birthday cards or other celebrations.

I prepared again product lists and step-by-step instructions for both cards, which can be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

Me to You Valentine's Day Card

Many items from the new Me to You Mother's Day collection by Trimcraft are not only perfect for beautiful Mother's Day card, but can also be used for many other occasions. I used the papers, an image from the decoupage pad and one of the wooden buttons for this Valentine's Day card.

And yes, my beloved collection of First Edition dies also played a role again. This time I used one of the border dies.

The sentiment stamp is one of Dovecraft's 99p clear stamps, so purchasing it does not break the bank. I condition most of my clear stamps with a good quality rubber and go then over them with some sticky tape to take off the tiny particles from the rubber to ensure that they stamp beautifully with even ink distribution.

A product list and step-by-step instructions for this card can again be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

3D Pearl Effects Caddy

Today I would like to share another piece of craft storage with you. Since I got the two sets of Dovecraft 3D Pearls Effects they had been in the two plastic bags they came in. They not only deserve better, but it is also so much easier to use them when they are stored nicely with the full overview over the range of colours. And from time to time it is so nice to create a project that can remain in the own craft room without the need to part with gorgeous products.

The caddy is created with Dovecraft 3D Pearl Effects in mind, but I also tried it with the similar bottles of Stickles glitter glue, Liquid Pearls and alcohol inks from my stock and they fit into the caddy as well. Its measurements are 8.5cm (H) x 12cm (W) x 12cm (D). The lid is deliberately kept flat, so that another caddy or the embossing folder box can be stored on top of it.

The main elements of this caddy are products from the Dovecraft Sweet Paris collection by Trimcraft and kraft cardstock (I used 350gsm cardstock by Craftwork Cards). A full product list and instructions can - as usual - be found in my Trimcraft gallery. The templates are also added below, as the details might be easier to read on here.
