Creative Cards | D-lish Scraps

Hello Scrappy Friends! I'm back with a new creative share for D-lish Scraps, the first in over a month while I've been off on 'Sick leave'. It's taken me a while to get back in to the swing of creating, so I thought what better way to ease into it than making some cards. These are quite easy to replicate with any pieces that you may have within you own personal D-lish stashes 😍 All cards are perfect for gifting along to a friend just to say Hello, something I need to do more often to remind those I cherish that they are loved.

The first 2 cards are super simple, gathering Creative cuts and faceted enamel dots from the D-lish Scraps store along with a lace butterfly, some ombre wordfetti and left over pieces of pattern paper from the Bohemian Dream collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. 

So quick to create, and such a sweet card to pass along to a friend to remind them to smile  😀

This card was also quick to create by gluing and stapling the pieces together with slight hints of dimension.

The next 2 cards were a little more fiddly, made using bits and pieces from last months Papercrafters Advent Calendar . Such a fun box of goodies that was for this crafter to open, although I only got to open half the month before being admitted to hospital with gallbladder issues. That meant I had to rip the remainder open all at once which was both a happy and sad experience as I knew how much effort went into packing all those bags and to not be able to enjoy opening them as they were intended was a bummer.

For the larger card I've started with a pattern paper from the new More than Words collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. I felt the colours of the floral pattern really complimented the colours of embellishments within the Advent Calendar goodies. I made one massive cluster using the large pink and green flowers, the pretty pink leaves, flair button, yellow tassel, journal it and a carnation from my stash. I cut apart the XOXO cut file piece and secured these in separate places and finished it off with some enamel dots.

Lastly this pretty card, such a happy little thing! I started with some pink cardstock layered with a 4 inch doily from my stash. I pulled the entire centre out of the yellow flower and rearranged it to sit flatter with a flair button in the centre. I tucked in a couple of the pink leaves and some resin flowers then finished it off with some sequins.

Well thats all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Hi Everyone, I'm back today with a super quick creative share. I'm still taking it easy since my gallbladder surgery last month, and haven't really spent much time in my craft room, so I thought what better way to ease back into it than with a couple of cards. Super simple and quite easy to replicate using pieces from the beautiful Bohemian Dream collection.

The first card I made using some offcuts of the 6x6 Paper pad cut into banner flags, 'strung' along the top of the card and stitched in place.

I used the paint smear stamp from the set in the collection and some yellow ink under the 'shine bright' sticker and layered another sticker above it to create a sweet sentiment for the recipient.

To finish the card I added a leaf from the ephemera pack and some enamel dots for a little extra pop of colour.

Second card was another super simple one but my favourite by far. I used a piece of the beautiful floral print ABUNDANT from the 6x6 paper pad behind some white cardstock, then a strip of GYPSY HEART under the chipboard word HAPPY from the collection.

I added in the word birthday with alphas from the Make a Wish collection as nothing else looked as good. Lastly I tucked in a couple of the leaf pieces from the ephemera pack, some hand writing to finish off the card and some machine stitching to hold it all in place.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, be sure to check in daily for more inspiration from the other Design team members.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Creative Cards | D-lish Scraps

Hi Everyone, It's Michelle back here today with my newest creative share. 

For this post I thought I'd do something different to my usual, by using remnants of the current and past Just add Paper kits to make some more cards for my ever growing collection. I've got quite the collection happening, as I keep forgetting to give them out!

All up I've made 5 different cards using kits and bits from my other D-lish stash. Here's a closer look

For the first set of cards I've used the March 2017 Pretty in Pink kit on the left ... and the current Primrose Lane kit on the right. The card on the left uses the flowers, vellum butterflies and twine from the kit along with the addition of a 4inch lace doily, Creative Cuts "Leaves", a pink Carnation, an Ombre Worfetti piece and some glitter dots. 

The card on the right is made from the flowers, journal it, white leaf that I've cut into, and twine from the kit along with a doily, wordfetti piece and enamel dots like the other card. I stuck with similar design elements for each of the cards to keep them simple and easy to put together.

Here's a look at the 2 kits used for the above cards to refresh your memory...

Next up I've used the December 2016 Peaches & Cream kit and the February 2017 Fresh Cut. I didn't have a lot of the Peaches and Cream kit left to create a generic form of card, so I've used the Journal It pieces, twine, a rose and a veneer arrow that I coated in glitter paste. To bulk up the card Ive used the same doily as the other cards, a flair button, 2 paper flowers from Little Birdie sets, a pick n place bow, ombre wordfetti and enamel glitter dots. 

The card on the right is made up of loads of goodies from the Fresh cut kit, I hadn't had a chance to create with it just yet so I had a full kit to play with! I kept the pip berry stem in its circular form and placed it over the doily from my other D-lish stash. I tied the twine around the cardstock piece and attached in place to keep it secure. I arranged the flowers in the bottom right of the circle, and added a flair from the kit as a 5th element to the cluster. Lastly I added a ombre wordfetti strip and some enamel dots to match. 

Here's another look at the 2 kits featured in these cards...

Last card of the bunch was made using pieces from the Peacock Avenue kit from November 2016. In addition to the kit contents ( crochet feather, twine, sequins, washi tape, flair and large purple flower) I've added my favourite Forget me nots, a scribble circle Creative Cut, doily, Wordfetti piece, enamel dots and ribbon from my stash. 

Here's one last look at the kit for reference ..

And lastly a look at all the cards together, showing how similar yet different they all are. 

I really enjoyed making and sharing something a little different this week! I hope its given you some form of inspiration.

Until next time, happy Scrapping!

Creative Cards | D-lish Scraps

Hello! Super quick post today to share some cards I made for this months D-lish Scraps Inspiration Board

The Board this month is FULL of pinks and pretty inspiring pictures which is perfect for lovers of D-lish products as theres so many things that come in pink!

Lets take a closer look at each card..

This one took no time at all, and can easily be replicated. I've used a white card base with a piece of Pink pattern paper cut to size, a lace doily in the 4 inch size, a bunch of pink Forget me Not flowers (literally from the bag I received them in) a pretty sequin bow, cardfetti strip and a couple of mini glitter enamel dots. Super quick and easy!

The second card required a little extra time, and way more flowers than the other. I've used the same white card base with the reverse side of the pattern paper from the other card, another 4 inch white lace paper doily, some paper flowers, fabric flowers, an older crochet flower, some resin pieces, coloured wire, cardfetti strip, my favourite glitter enamel dots and some stamens.

Thats all from me for now, hopefully these cards have given you some form of inspiration!

Be sure to check out the D-lish Scraps blog to see what some of the other designers created for this board. Oh and make sure you check out the Scrap Suite on Facebook too! A place where everyone can share D-lish Inspired creations!

Until Next time, Happy Scrapping!!

Creative Cards | D-lish Scraps

Hello Friends!! I'm back today with my second share for D-lish Scraps this month which is based on the newest Inspiration board. A mix of my favourite colours Hot pink, Teal, greys and white. Yay!

For this board I thought I'd try my hand at creating some more cards to add to my collection. I really like how these turned out and can't wait to send them off to friends as a little note to say Hello.

Both cards have similar clusters made up of pretty Paper Flowers, sequin bows, a tag and some wordfetti/journal its 

Here's a closer look at them both 

With this card I layered a 4inch doily with a Dip-Dye tag behind the sequin bow, Journal It arrow and Typed phrase. The flowers I've grouped together are 2 of my favourites - Forget me nots and Carnations, along with 2 others no longer stocked and some Stamens tucked into the top.

For this card I've used similar blooms as the other card, plus a beautiful Magnolia. I've fussy cut around a coloured Jumbo 'Note' ticket and layered it with a 4 inch doily, some aqua Punchinella, Cardfetti and minifetti, a Hot pink Sequin bow and then finished it off with some Enamel shapes.

Thats all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Back tomorrow with my final share for the month

Until then, Happy Scrapping

Creative Cards | D-lish Scraps

Hi Again everyone!

It's a super quick D-lish Scraps post from me today.  

I've been enjoying stepping outside the "layout" box each month and sharing something different with you all. I'm still not convinced that I'm a card maker, but I think these turned out pretty good..

 I kept them quite simple, and based them on the colours from the Inspiration board. 

I got a little creative with a cut file and had maybe a little too much fun with my Minc... 

For this card Ive used a felt doily, resin butterfly and some cardfetti strips

and for this card again I've used my Minc.. and teamed it up with some hand dyed muslin, a resin bird, enamel shapes and a cardfetti strip

A little note to apologise 

While linking products up in this post, I've just realised the felt doilies and Hand dyed Muslin are both no longer stocked. I'm pretty bad at hoarding things I really like and using them too late to share lol

Again thank you for stopping by to see my creations

Back tomorrow with one last 'Off the page' Creation! Cant wait to show you all 

Happy Crafting ;)

Hi Everyone!

This is my last share for D-lish Scraps this month, and its just a quick one.

I was so inspired by the current Inspiration board that I wanted to make a couple of cards to add to my ever growing collection. I really must remember to start giving them to people, that is why we make them right?

Super sweet and oh so easy to make. 

Card on the left made using : A strip of washi tape, piece of punchinella, mini coloured doily, printed tag, cardfetti strip and a bunch of paper flowers.

Card on the right : A strip of washi tape, mini coloured doily, piece of punchinella, cardfetti strip, glitter feather, a bunch of paper flowers, and a hand punched tag from my stash.

Super easy to re-create, just remember to give them out instead of forgetting them in my stash like I do :)

Thanks for stopping by today

Loads more inspiration coming up from the remainder of the team this month, so be sure to keep an eye on the D-lish Scraps blog! 

Happy Scrapping

Creative Cards | Hip Kits Guest Designer

Hi again! Im back with one last Guest Designer share for Hip Kits. 

I've made some super quick cards with some left over bits n bobs from the January Kits

I'm happy to say that Im not the best maker of cards, but I am happy with how these turned out

I wanted them all to be completely different and individual, and I think it worked!

These two would have to be my favourites

To start this process I cut all the card bases from cardstock within the cardstock add on kit, then added to them with different papers and embellishments from the other January kits

For this card I've used another one of the cut files by Nicole to create large hearts, and sewed them down as if to replicate a bunch of balloons. I covered the bottom of the strings, which are hanging loose, with a sequin bow from my stash

Next up I made a smaller card with some scraps of paper, a chipboard frame, sticker by My Minds eye and doily from my stash. Super simple layers and a cute little reminder to Make today Amazing!

This card took no time at all once the glitter paste was dry on the veneer piece. Sadly mine was a little worse for wear when it arrived in its packaging, as you can see by the ginormous ridge along the e & o. Covering it in glitter seemed like the best way to hide its imperfections, and its a good way to make it stand out from the fun crazy pattern paper background!

Lastly there was this card, which took all of 2 minutes to complete! A strip of torn washi tape, vellum word from the kit, sewn through with my machine, then embellished with a gold chipboard heart and a tiny word sticker, then splattered with some gold color shine.

Thats all from me as a Guest Designer with Hip Kits. Thank you so much Kimberly for giving me the opportunity to share my work with everyone, and thank you to all of you that have stopped by to take a look. For now, Happy Scrapping
