A Country Cottage Card

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I have a lovely all occasion card that is positively smothered in lilacs.  I think this collection must be my all time favourite and I can’t get enough of the soft hues and the gorgeous papers.  The flowers are so easy to make.  Here I have used a Becca Feeken die – the Grand Cabinet  die and the cottage fitted inside this die so perfectly.  I have die cut three of the dies to add dimension.  I love adding the little birds from the Woodsy Wonderland collection as well.  They add life to the card.

I hope that I have inspired you to do something different with the lilacs.

Triple Easel Wedding Card Featuring Heartfelt Creations Flowers

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back.  Today I have a triple easel wedding card.  I had just sold a card on Trade Me and the one I had in the shop was not something I could send out.!  So I made another one using Lush Lilacs and Classic Roses and a different embossing folder to the previous ones I had done before.   Here is the link to my previous post and there is a link for instructions on how to make this card.  They are a lot easier than they look as it is just three different easel cards joined together.  Next time I will be placing the easels closer together but I was in a rush today.

These are so easy to make and I hope that I have inspired you to try one for yourself.
