Altered Love Letters feat. Whispering Love Collection

Today I've altered some paper mâché letters to spell out the word "LOVE" using Dress My Craft's stunning Whispering Love Collection!

I started off by painting my letters gray.  I chose the pink papers from the collection so I'd have a cohesive look.  I traced, cut out, and glued the papers to the letters.  I also used the Daisy Border Punch on each paper to add a little extra interest to my letters.

For each letter, I built up layers of embellishments including clay moulds, pink and gray flowers, elements from the Whispering Love Motif Sheet, and floral images that I fussy cut from the 12x12 and 6x6 Collection Packs.

I also used my Easy Cuts Machine to make some die cuts.  I used the Foliage & Leaves #5, Foliage & Leaves #6, Heart with Swirls, and Tropical Swirls dies.

To compliment my Love theme, I added some Assorted Heart Droplets and Little Hearts to each letter. 

As a finishing touch, I glued some Princess Mix Sequins to the flowers.  Sequins always add that special something to any project!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my project.  I truly hope you liked it.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

xoxo,

Shannon

FLORAL GARDEN with Dress My Craft Flower Making Dies and Soft Oriental Paper

Dear Friends

Shalini Pahwa here today...In this ‘Month of Love’ & the ‘Month of Spring’, I have created something that is very close to my heart – FLOWERS. I believe Flowers are God’s gift to this earth. As the famous French writer & poet Gerard De Nerval once said, “Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.” They paint contrasting colors along the ground and bring joy to many. Their elegance and delicate touches have us all in awe and exhilaration. Flowers inspire us to ‘Open the bloom of your heart and become a gift of beauty to the world’.

To be frank I have been making flowers from paper since many many years. But the experience that I got last week in making these lovely flowers is just indescribable. This is because of the wonderful dies and truly exquisite papers of ‘Dress My Craft’ that I used in creating this breathtaking piece of art.

To make my ‘Floral Garden’ I created ‘Cherry Blossom’, ‘Rhododendron’ and ‘daisy’ flowers. To make these flowers I have used the dies of Dress My Craft. However the best part was the paper used to make these flowers – which is the best I have ever used in the past. It folds nicely, grooves evenly and gives that final lustrous and fresh look to the floral petals.

Besides the floral dies, I have also used floral beads of Dress My Craft & leaf die to create the intertwined leaves in my ‘Floral Garden’. To complete the Garden, I spread out my flowers on Dress My Craft Pattern Paper from Vintage Lady Paper collection, pasted cut out using ‘Background Dies’ of Dress My Craft and some lace elements using ‘Border Punch’ of Dress My Craft. Where there are such a lovely garden, birds can’t be far behind. So to complete my ‘Floral Garden’, I have done fussy cutting of birds from motif My Vintage Lady paper pad of Dress My Craft and pasted it. I also attached moss to complement the garden look. In the centre I created a space to paste a pic to someone who is as dear to you as mother nature to make my ‘Floral Garden’ more meaningful and an object of admiration. 

Hope you liked my creation. Do let me have your comments.

Enjoy your lovely Spring Days…

Simplest Things Can Be Beautiful-Rounded Tag Punch Card Tutorial

Dear Friends,

Shalini Pahwa here, today I am presenting to you my latest collection which is like a journal card with multiple leafs and tags. I got the idea of this card when I got hold of this great product of Dress My Craft – Rounded Tag Punch. This Punch creates tags of different sizes. And I have used this in this creation of mine which I have called “Tag Card”.

The multiple leafs and tags in this card can be used to express your deepest feeling for your special one – a great personal handcrafted gift for the upcoming festival season.

So let's start with tutorial:

To create this card, I initially used the white card stock to make base of 3 of the same sizes. 

Paper size: 4.25"x 9.5"

The bases then are scored differently based on which is the bottom most base and which is the top base.
Base 1-Score at 1.75" on left and right side, Base 2-Score at 2" on left and right side, Base 3-Score at 2.25" on left and right side as seen on picture

I then covered these bases with Dress My Craft Hydrangea Lawns Pattern Paper on the front side and the flaps. The back center side is left as it is.
The back sides of these bases are then joined together with tacky tape on three sides. The fourth (top) side is left open which will thence create two pockets.

In these pockets I inserted two tags made from Rounded Tag Punch. These tags are of different sizes which gives a great look to the creation. Size 2.5"x 6", 2.5"x 5.5"

The flaps created in the front after sticking the bases are also covered with pattern paper. On top of these flaps I have attached two tags horizontally thus creating a lovely closure through which a ribbon can be inserted to act as a closure for the flaps.

The card decoration includes hydrangea flower using motif sheet are fussy cut and pasted to give it a 3 dimensional look. Beads and sequences are added on the front flap for decoration.

I have used stencil-Swirls with modelling paste, sequence and beads on the inside of the flap for decoration as I have sparingly done.
The inside of the card (base visible after the horizontal tag closure is opened) is finished with a butterfly, bird, sentiment made using motif sheet and decorated with some Dress My Craft Blossom Green Sequence and Flower Pearls-Snow White.

You can, as I have done, finish the edges of the card with cutouts made from Dress My Craft- Daisy Border Punch, and added some fuzzy cut of Hydrangea Flowers.

The flaps, the inside of the card and the two pull-able tags inserted in the pocket of the base can be used to express your feelings or your messages to the receiver of the card.

I hope you liked the 'Tag Card' and would surely try to create something similar for your loved ones in the upcoming festive season. Do let me know if you have any queries regarding this card.

Do also let me know how you liked the creation.

Happy Crafting!!!
