Mini junk journal and matching bag

Hello, Henriëtte here with my last blog post as a design team member for Crafteezee.

I'm sharing a little junk journal with matching bag I've created using 

Lemoncraft Sense & Sensibility papers.

The matching gift bag is made using a piece of copy paper, scrap pieces from the Lemoncraft paperpad and mod podge glue. I found a tutorial on how to make these bags here.

I decorated the bag with leftover pieces of lace and paper roses.
The laces are tea dyed and the flowers are aged with distress ink.

The mini journal is approx. 10 x 7,5 cm.

The cover is also embellished with cheesecloth, laces and roses.

The closure is Sari silk.

The inside has one signature made of tea dyed papers and patterend papers from the 

Sense & Sensibility pad.

It has pockets and tags, sewings, pearl trims, envelopes and 

tea dyed laces.

I have a flip through video available on my You Tube channel. Just click on the link below:

Flower tags with Lemoncraft

Hello, Henriette here today sharing two big tags.

The tags measure 18 x 11 cm.

The paper I used is from Lemoncraft, called "Yesterday".

On this tag I used a Fantasy chipboard, Botany, which I colored with pink and green inks.

On this tag I used Fantasy chipboard Singing Fountains 2.

On both tags I glued lace, swirl and leaves die cuts and lots of pretty flowers.

The flowers coordinate very well with the patterned papers.

Thanks for visitng the Crafteezee blog.

Your comments are very much appreciated.

Card with Mintay papers - Secret place

Hello Crafteezee friends, DT Henriëtte here sharing a card I've made with the beautiful

 Mintay Papers - Secret Place.

There are lots of layers on this card with the patterned papers. All the paper edges are distressed.

 I also added a chipboard rectangle from Laserowe Love.

I gave the chipboard a green color to match the papers.

Behind the chipboard is a piece of beautiful lace "Lisa".

On the corners of the chipboard I added roses and leave die cuts from the Mintay papers.

The sentiment is from 13 arts Rose Fields Elements.

I thought it matches the papers and flowers very well.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

There's still a little time to enter out monthly challenge.

The theme is "LACE".

Here is the post where you can enter your project.

Card with Pion Design "Life is peachy" papers

Hi there, DT Henriette here today sharing a card with the gorgeous Pion Design papers - Life is peachy. I fell in love with these papers and especially the color combination blue and peach.

The Shani lace I used between the layers and the peach roses go very well with the papers and 

the adorable image. 

The little white flowers are from the lace, in the middle I glued white foam stamens.

I also added a two small Fantasy Chipboard  pieces (singing fountains 2) and the sentiment 

is cut from the Pion Design "Life is peachy" images sheet.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Home

Hello everyone!

It's Kathrin here again today - and I made a card that is all about home. Wether you want to welcome someone new in your neighbourhood or want to send a card to someone who moved into a new home recently - I think, my card'd fit. 

Have you been sad about maybe not ordering the Magnolia advent calendar last year? No need to be sad anymore, all the stamps and dies are now available individually. And I used a few of them on my card. 

For this card I picked brown and light pink papers from different paper packs and brands. I wanted to give this card a kind of a rustic look. Allthough I think with the pink and flowers it also got a vintage or romantic touch.

Between the papers I've added some lace, a doily, cheesecloth and also a piece of corrugated paper.

This is cute My Own Key Tilda. I colored her in with Copics and cut her out close to the stamped lines. While doing the coloring I went with soft colors to make the image fit to the papers I've picked. Most times I do the coloring first and then pick the papers that fit my coloring, but here was one of the rare times I did it the other way.

Those houses are new dies by Magnolia - and I love them! On the bigger one I've put a stamped "home" with a heart instead of the O. And the smaller one - and yes, you have to look close to see it, I just put next to/under it. 

 Of course I also had to add a few embellishments. There are flowers, a meadow spray, tiny pearls and also a bronze colored key charm. And since I felt like the top needed some decoration as well I've added one of the laced butterflies here.

 Have a happy day everyone!

Hugs, Kathrin

Edwin with Rose

Hello everyone!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner - so I have made a romantic card to share with you today. 

 I made a very soft card - mostly because I wanted to use those beautiful new papers by Mintay. 

For the base I used the Recipe Card Die by Magnolia and then put my designer's papers on top of it. You know me, I love layers - and I went a bit wild here. Inbetween the papers I've put some lace and a doily.

Do you see those beautiful flourish corners? They are made using the Wedding Lace die by Magnolia. I've just cut along the end of the die cut flourish to recieve individual corners.

This Edwin with Rose is a real cutie. He's been colored in with Copics but I only used very light tones to make the coloration match the papers. That's why there isn't as much detail in the coloring as I usually do.

I kept most of my decorations on the right side of my card. Since the typewriter die comes with a love note I just had to use this. Underneath there is a flourish and a die cut branch.

The silver birch bark heart was perfect in color since it has some kind of greyish-blue which goes great with the turquoise. I also added a pink Meadow Spray here.

Have a happy sunday!

a little box with Tilda

 Hello everyone!

For today's post I've decided to do something different than a card - so I made this little box. It is 10 x 10 cm in size and holds a bar of those square chocolats:

The box is cut from white cardstock and then I've used designer's papers by Lemoncraft and Mintay to decorate it. I went with pink and blue as the main colors. And yes, I already realized it myself - as soon as Magnolia is involved I tend to do a lot more layers again. But it's fun to do and I like the look of those finished projects.

On top of the bottom layer of paper I've put some white lace and between the papers there is one layer of corrugated paper which I've painted white partially. The box was too small to also add matting to my papers and I needed something to break the layers up a bit.

This Masquerade  Tilda is a real cutie. I had to color her in before I knew what to make with her. I did the coloring with Copics and covered the dress with clear Wink of Steall to make it sparkle.

Even if the stamp might be made with Mardis Gras in mind but I think dressed like this she might also be on her way to a very fancy party. And I know she'll be the star of the evening!

Since I used Tilda with her mask of course the matching dies were my first pick for decorations. There is her eye mask and I also used the feather, that comes in the same set. It's glued to the top right of my box.

The pink fabric flower was cut off from a piece of pink lace Gwendoline. Then I added a blossom and a tulip here. And when I've die cut the feather I had the idea of adding a real one as well - which I did above the flowers. It just adds a specia touch...

Have a happy sunday everyone!

Hugs, Kathrin

Frozen....

Hello everyone!

Honestly, I'd be ready for spring with its warming sun, the blooming flowers and outdoor times. But I know that we are still in the middle of winter and so I made a winter card today to share with you:

I thought, since I'm doing winter I'm doing it thoroughly and so I only used white and light turquoise combined with a hint of a grey-ish blue. 

I made a round card - when I started I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a lollipop flower or not. So I started with a large doily and put a paper rosette made from white cardstock on top of it. I ended up with just a card but if I change my mind I can still put a paper straw between the sections of the paper rosette.

The papers I used are all the light ones I was able to find in the Winter Feelings No 59 and No 60 paper pads by Studio Light. I've cut them in different shapes and put them on top of each other. And yes, even if there is no cheesecloth - I made this card! ;) But I had to put some lace between the papers...

This is Frozen Tilda - and when I first saw her I knew I needed to give her a home. She's just too cute! I've colored her in with Copics and cut her out. 

Behind the large circle I've also put the Pine Trees by Joycrafts and added a few flowers here.

On the right side I used one of the Landscape die, put it across the card and then added a few flowers - open roses and pixie blooms - here. I also wanted to use something different than just flowers and so I went with one of the stars made from birch bark. To make it match the colors on my card I've covered it with white Gesso.

And then I also needed some decorations on the top of the card. I used the new Invitation die by Magnolia here. It cuts two slits in one half and I used these to put the wax cord through. Then I've wrapped it around the "invitation" and tied a bow from it. I also used the heart shaped tag - the one that can be opened - here and tied it to the bow. The mittens in the background are from one of the older DooHickey Club kits. But I just needed to add them since they match so perfectly in theme.

Have a happy, frosty winter day eveyone!

Hugs, Kathrin
