Spring Colours for The Paper Players

The colour challenge at The Paper Players got my attention as the Subtles Collection is my favourite SU colour group. I made a card in a box with punched Spring flowers (Stamp Set - Beautiful Bunch) for a friend of mine.  The recipient will be her grandmother in Canada who is turning 86 this year.

The card base is made from some specialty paper I bought from an art supplies shop in Sydney (Eckersley's Art & Craft , York Street) called paper weave and the leaves are punched from the Bird Builder Punch.

Thanks for stopping by,

Thanks, Claire and the DT -

What a beautiful basket of blooms! They won't ever fade and you don't need to water or fertilize them, LOL! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Players this week! It's awesome, Bronwyn!

Hi Rene, I visited Eckersley's Art & Craft in York Street (a few doors down from the Grace Hotel in the CBD).

Photo Wallet and Butterfly Easel Card The Colour Combo for Just Add Ink's 57th Challenge Butterfly Easel Card I designed a butterfly easel card for my latest project at UStamp with Dawn and Friends using the Punch Bunch Stamp Set . For this challenge I popped the little butterfly from the Bliss Set , added some pearls and stamped the gorgeous flourish from the same SAB stamp set to form the background pattern for both die cut butterflies. I also sponged around the edges with River Rock Ink. PS: Thanks again to Nancy Riley for choosing this card as one of her iPicks for this week! Inside the Photo Wallet This would make a Lovely Hostess Gift (especially for a scrap-booking enthusiast) Complete with Photo Mats Instructions for the Photo Wallet can be found HERE .

Scalloped Tag Easel Card with Punch Art Vintage Caravan

Just popping in for a quick post with a cute little project to say a fond farewell to SALE-A-BRATION 2014 .  We had a beautiful and varied selection of free product to choose from (as always) and I think that the top two for me were the gorgeous Sweet Sorbet DSP and Banner Punch .       My brother is really into restoring Vintage Caravans (campers) and I bought a book for him today called, VANTASTIC - Retro Caravan Holidays in the Modern World by Kate Ulman, which inspired this bit of Punch Art on my Scalloped Tag Easel Card . Somehow, I think that I will be back with some more caravan paper creations as I really enjoyed making this one.

Butterfly Easel Card

  This card uses SU's Blushing Bride card stock and ink, the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die and Antique Brads . The sentiment is from the stamp set, Butterfly Prints and I have used the textured impressions embossing folder, Finial Press in this example. If you wish to see my tutorial, it is only available as a pdf file, with the purchase of the Larger Butterfly Easel Card Tutorial. Unfortunately, a few websites have copied my entire tutorial and published it without my consent, including all the photos and instructions.  It's just as well I add a watermark to everything.  So, after two years of sharing the love,  I feel I need to remove the instructions from this post to avoid any further plagiarism. Thanks for your understanding. ...........................................................................................................................................................
