Rachel's Cards and Crafts

  Hi all   Hope you are well.   I’m here today to share with you my DT card for the Crafter’s Companion Monthly Challenge Blog     This card is for my husband for Valentines Day today.   I have used the Everyday in Mulberry Wood CD from Crafter’s Companion for the topper, paper and insert. I have printed the topper onto watercolour cardstock and the papers onto satin finish printable paper.   I have also used one of the new Darice folders which were released on Create and Craft yesterday. This one is the Lips folder. I have embossed red cardstock and then added some gold ink to each of the lips.   I have made a chocolate box ribbon and gems for details.   Thanks for stopping by. Don’t forget to check out the challenge blog for your chance to win a £30 voucher to spend on the Crafter’s Companion website.   So what you waiting for? Go check it out.   Thanks for stopping by

I had the Birch Tree and Flames Folder to use. I have made 6 samples in total. The first three are made using the Birch Tree Folder. Here’s the first one: I have used one of the Die’sire Dies from Crafter’s Companion and created a posy using some flowers and leaves from my stash of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers range. I have used ribbon and pearls from the ribbon box . The base card is a 5x7” scalloped edge from Papermania. I finally gave a the whole card a spray with Crafter’s Companion Spray and Sparkle Pink.   Here’s my second card: For this card I embossed some Core’dinations card stock and then gently rubbed over it with my silver ink it up pad and then sprinkled some snowflake sparkle heat it up embossing powder on. I must admit I like this effect, it’s the first time I have ...

This is the card I have made for the Crafter's Companion News Blog Challenge - Share the Love and Win . I have used the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge 224 .  I decided to use the cute stamped image of Snow and Pup from the new Starwberry Kisses range from Crafter's Companion. I cut out the hearts with my eCraft and stamped the image onto some Neenah Cardstock, which I then coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens. Just loving this stamp collection and my Spectrum Noir pens set. The backing papers and embelishments are all from the Strawberry Kisses CD Rom.  I have added the peel off greeting, ribbon and heart embelishments from my stash. I have matted all of the layers onto centura pearl cardstock from Crafter's Companion.  I am also entering this card into: There's magic in the air - magical monday: Challenge From the heart Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge - Challeneg 20 Love is in the air Creative card Crew - Seeing Red

This is a card I made last week for a valentines card order. I have used an image the gentleman supplied be with but have given it a red hue. The gentleman wanted to use the picture of the heart as his girlfriend lives in Italy. So he wanted to use the world globe to represent the world between them. This is what I came up with. I cut the heart out and added it as a second layer curving it to give the rounded effect. The backing paper came from my bearly mine extreme cd.
