A gift box for Rosy Owl

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to share with you my newest project for Rosy Owl - a small gift box.

For the background I used beautiful Craft & You Design papers. 

As always, I made foamiran flowers & leaves using fantastic Rosy Owl dies: 

Flowers AC1, Flowers AC2 and Hydrangeas.

To decorate my box and to add some dimension to my composition 

I decided to use Mitform Castings gears, natural sisal, embossed laser cut chipboard 

and elements from the Tropical Leaves dies set.   

I finished my design by adding tiny art stones and black and white splashes.

I hope you like my box.

Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by.

Tag & foamiran flowers

Hi everyone :)

Finally I decided to use some of these flowers I made over the last few weeks

and a tag was something I wanted to do for a quite a while

but I didn't have time :)

I used Galeria Papieru paper 03 from As if in a dream RETRO collection

and Studio 75 paper 01 from Mr & Mrs Black collection.

I think they look amazing together :)

I stitched the edges by hand as Im not very good with sewing machine.

Need practice more lol

I love chipboards... right after foamiran ;)

This time I chose Anemone - Vintage Birdcage

and Scrapiniec - Secret Garden - Ivy.

Of course I decorated my tag with foamiran flowers... lots of them :)

I cut them out with CraftPassion dies - Flower Set 03 and Flower Set 04.

I coloured just a large flower... with a pink oil pastel. 

To made rest of them I simply used different colours of foamiran... nothing more:

white, rich yellow, mocha, flesh tone, peach, salmon and olive green for leaves.

I added stamens as well... matt stamens, glass stamens and decorative plastic stamens.

I finished my tag with natural sisal, sparkly flower centre 10mm and gems.

I hope you like it :) 

Products are available in my shop - Love to Craft & Create. 

Thank so much for stopping by :)

Please let me know what you think about my tag in a comment section below :*

Have a lovely day,

Shabby & delicate...

Hi everyone :)

Today I would like to share with you a cover I made for an album I'm working on lately

as in inspiration for Love to Craft & Create.

As a base I used papers from an absolutely beautiful collection by Craft & You Design 

Beautiful Day 6"x6" Paper Pad.

The colours are stunning and all of the collection is so delicate and feminine.

Ideal for shabby chic projects :)

I liked it so much that I decided to use it to make flowers...

and CraftPassion flower dies were perfect for that.

I used 2 different sets:

I finished my flowers with white pearl stamens and Prima gems.

I could not use laser cut chipboards... I'm a big fan of them :)...

... so I decorated my cover with one of the captions from TricksArt Magical time set 

and Vintage Cage with a Bird by Scrapiniec.

 

To decorate my flowers I cut out a few leaves from a strip by Studio75 - Alice's Dream 09  

and added some sequins.

I hope you like my cover :)

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Rose Garden... and butterfly...

 A very romantic one... 

with Rose Garden papers from Craft & You Design, it's hard not to be romantic ;)

The papers are simply gorgeous... I love each one of them!

To make this card I used papers from both pads... 12"x12" and 6"x6".

     

The papers from the 6"x6" pad were used for the background and top layer of my card,

but the centre of the beautiful Royal Circle Frame (from Scrapiniec) 

I cut out of paper 06 from a 12"x12" pad

and decorate it with white 3mm transparent string.

To finish my card I used stunning handmade flowers

Handmade Glittered Roses - Shiny Roses

Handmade Glittered Roses - Ivory (2cm)

Handmade Roses - Light Pink (2cm)

Handmade Glittered Roses - Light Pink (1cm)

Handmade Roses - Ivory (1cm)

Handmade Rosesbuds - Autumn Tea
