Chilling out with Belle & Boo

Over the weekend I indulged a bit moe in Belle & Boo products. I had already a card with the cute ballet decoupage image in mind where I wanted to use white die-cut corners and leaves for a light summery feel. But I also wanted to create an MDF plaque with a seaside scene utilising the ice cream scene. And this one is not for gving away, it is just for me and my new home and therefore extra special.

Base of the plaque is an MDF coaster. I used a Crop-a-dile to punch a hole and then covered both sides in patterned paper from the Belle & Boo II collection with the help of glossy First Edition Deco Mache glue.

All die-cuts used for the two projects are created using First Edition die sets.

I have again prepared product lists and step-by-step instructions for both projects in case you want to re-create them. Just go to my Trimcraft gallery for details.

Belle & Boo Summer Crafting

The new Belle & Boo products by Trimcraft are just lovely for nice summery craft projects. And I just cannot resist the cute rabbit Boo. So the items came in pretty handy for some crafty relaxation on lovely days with loads of sun like we are allowed to enjoy them at the moment. The result are two plaques and a card with a folded sheet of patterned paper, which you can see in this post. I hope you like what I have created.

Product lists and step-by-step instructions as well as larger images of the projects can be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

Belle & Boo Christmas Plaques

During 2015 my crafting focus has really shifted from cards to home decor items. I never thought that I would enjoy it so much to create decorative frames and MDF items. And my handcrafted Christmas decorations, for example, that are currently surrounding me are - in my humble opinion - even nicer than many bought items.

The two MDF plaques in this blog post are created around the adorable Belle & Boo Christmas collection by Trimcraft. The plaques were prepared with white gesso and First Edition deco mache papers. A final all over application of First Edition deco mache gloss decoupage glue gives them a nice shiny and smooth finish.

Product lists and step-by-step instructions for both projects can again be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

Christmas with Belle & Boo

Belle & Boo Christmas - Winter Magic

The popular and so adorable characters Belle and Boo are making a return in Trimcraft's 2015 Christmas collection. And I could not resist to have a good play with the new products, which I combined with some of the brand-new Dovecraft Christmas Basics products, while watching today's rugby matches.

For the first card that features Belle and a reindeer I have created a faux embossed effect with the fabulous Dovecraft Christmas Basics snowflake dies. I love especially the corner die from this set. And I think I need to organise more of the Dovecraft Christmas Basics A4 cardstock that I used for this project. The card in this multipack comes in kraft, white, red, green and a dark burgundy tone and is so nice and smooth and lovely for die-cutting and embossing.

Belle & Boo Christmas Mini Card

Christmas cards do not always need to be relatively large and time-consuming. Making a Belle & Boo mini card with the new Dovecraft Christmas Basics A7 cards and envelopes was fun, effortless and so quick. And that is just brilliant for those of us, who need to make a significant number of Christmas cards.

Belle & Boo Christmas - Festive Cheer

The final card for today is again based on a 6" x 6" card blank, which I used as tent-fold card. Most elements on this card are coming from the Belle & Boo decoupage pad.

I have again prepared product lists and step-by-step instructions for all three cards. Just click onto the titles below the images and you will be taken through straight to the relevant pages in my Trimcraft gallery.

Here come the boys

Belle & Boo - Gone Fishing

It was really time to work again with the Belle & Boo collection by Trimcraft and to create some cards with those adorable images. For the two cards featured in this post I concentrated on the boys. It is so refreshing to have craft products that also cater for them.

Product lists and step-by-step intructions for both cards are again available in my Trimcraft gallery. Just click onto the titles below the images to be taken through directly to the details for the card in question.

Belle & Boo - Birthday Boy

Belle & Boo Polka Dot Cards

Belle & Boo - Tea with Boo

Today I would like to share two cards with you that I created using the adorable Belle & Boo collection by Trimcraft and Dovecraft pastel polka dot card blanks (they come with matching envelopes). In both cases the images are from the Belle & Boo decoupage pad.

Belle & Boo - Play

 
The 'Belle & Boo - Play' card also features die-cut letters for which I used First Edition 'Script' alphabet dies by Trimcraft. The textured cardstock is from a 12" x 12" First Edition cardstock pad. All other elements on these cards are available in the Belle & Boo collection.

I have put together project instructions for both cards. Yo can view these by clicking onto the titles of the cards below the images.

Belle & Boo - Little Pirate

Here is my first project with the lovely new Belle & Boo collection by Trimcraft. I like especially that the collection contains stamps and decoupage images for cards for the guys. So it might not come as such a surprise that this card is created around the pirate decoupage image.
