Dovecraft Value Paper Packs


Trimcraft released a couple of Dovecraft Value Paper Packs not long ago. The papers are not only very pretty, are pleasing on the eye and can easily be combined with each other but they are also all double-sided.


The two cards in this blog post feature the 'Leyton' and 'Crowning Affair' papers in combination with textured black cardstock as well as die-cuts created with dies from various Trimcraft collections. Full product lists and instructions are available in my Trimcraft gallery. Just click onto the titles below the images to go directly to the project pages.

The World Outside the Window


Here is a card, which is a real First Edition project. It combines the First Edition window die set with papers from 'Paper Flowers' and 'The Promise' First Edition paper pads. And even the black textured cardstock is from a First Edition pad. The card blank and the adhesive gems are Dovecraft items, i.e. also Trimcraft products.

If you would like to re-create the card, you can find the full product list and instructions in my Trimcraft gallery. Please just do not enter the card into competitions or give the design out as your own.

Belle & Boo Polka Dot Cards


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.

 
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.

A full product list and step-by-step instructions can be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

Cards with Sequins


Part of the Sweet Paris collection by Trimcraft are sequins in red, black and silver. I felt that these were just asking for striking colour combinations. And here are now the results.

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.
