Hello all.. Michelle here again and welcome to my blog..

 

I hope you have enjoyed the Mad about Scrappin Blog Hop so far and the work you just saw at

 

Louise White's Blog

 

  

Scrapbooking is my FAVORITE craft I have tried and tested in my travels. It is something that I am very passionate about and I love being able to share how I have created things with others. I am also well know for pushing the boundaries with products a little and tend to experiment a fair bit. I love being able to preserve my family memories in a very unique way that means a lot to me.

So with that in mind.. I would like to share with you what I have created today. I have been playing around with some yummy papers from Kaisercraft. I have fallen in love with the Magnolia Grove paper range.

 

 

I once again mixed it up with a few different colours of ink for my background. I like to be able to create a bit of dimension by stamping and inking the cardstock before adding any paper layers. 

 

 

I love the vintage look of the papers. I had lots of fun punching and layering it up to create the base of my layout. I must admit too that I dont usually like mixing up the pattern too much when creating a layout but this paper range made it so easy to do that. They helped to create the dimension and depth I wanted in my layout.

All that sparkles

Hello all.

Wow.. what a start to the month it has been.

With The Robin's Nest and Helmar blog hop things certainly have been very craft inspired that is for sure.

With that in mind I have been busy with birthday cards again. Seems that this month is just as busy with birthdays for friends and family.

This time around it was very close friends birthday that I have been busy creating for. So with a little help from some products from The Robin's Nest I was able to create a very elegant birthday card.

I also played around with some flourish stamps to created my stamped flourish on some recycled card. Then used the same flourish stamp to highlight parts of the heart. Just because your patterned paper is already patterned doesn't mean that you cant mix it up a little to tie it into your design.

  

The Robin's Nest products used :

Blue Awning Glitter

Daisy Stripe Teal

Glitter Writing

Bliss Ribbon

In Love In Italy Dew Drops

I had a lot of fun playing around with this card and it was super easy and quick to create thanks to products from The Robin's Nest.

Why not check out what they have in store.

Happy Crafting, M x

Getting into the holiday spirit with a hop !

Hi, Michelle here.

I am lucky enough to be a designer for The Robin's Nest AND Helmar designer! 

I was most excited to be able to play along for this hop team two amazing products!

So... seeings as how the theme of this hop is "Home for the Holidays" I got busy creating some cards all ready for Christmas. I do like to be organised and love to send homemade cards every year.

However.. as most of you may know I am NOT a traditional colour themed scrapper.
I tend to prefer to make cards out of whatever paper I have on hand and them make it suit the theme.

So I dug into my design team boxes from The Robin's Nest and Helmar and created four cards from A4 recycled card.

Because I like to keep the cards quick and simple when I have to create quite a few I tend to make the card 4" x 4" in size. That way they fit nicely into a standard size C6 envelope too for postage if they have a bit of dimension to them.

The Robin's Nest Products used:
Fleur French Vanilla
Loves Me Glitter
White Glittered Flourish
Dew Drops - In Love in Italy

Helmar Products used:
Helmar Tape Runner
Helmar Gemstone Glue
Helmar 450 Quick Dry
Helmar Liquid Scrapdots
