Broderie Cardstock

Lynn asked me to put this box here on the blog which I recently made using the stunning Broderie Cardstock. It is a perfect weight of cardstock for making boxes and gives a luxurious, expensive look.....don't you think?

I simply backed and lined the box using Bazzill cardstock, made a bow and added a rhinestone pearl heart embellishment.

This cardstock is perfect for making your own wedding and special party stationery which comes in 12"x12" sizes.

Available in the shop are these pre-cut packs of 4 cards and envelopes which come in 5" x 5" in single colours.

If you check the Wedding Gallery you will find plenty of inspiration using the same cardstock (all the cards have been designed by Catherine).

We have a  range of Wedding stationery on-line  and available at the shop, Flutterby Crafts.

Christmas Easel Card

Nicky made this Easel card using the First Edition - Festive Treats Paper Pad.

There are 48 sheets 8" x 8" paper pad with glitter effects and double sided designs.

 

They are a new fun Christmas collection from the illustrator Helz Cuppleditch for First Edition Paper. Helz has mixed hand drawn designs of tiny gingerbread houses, candy canes and lollipops with tradition Christmas elements such as festive wreaths, snowmen, santas, and holly leaves. The colour palette is an eclectic mix of traditional reds and greens with a flash of cool blue.

 

Each pad contains 16 different designs - 8 with a glitter effect and 8 with a double sided print.

Here Nicky has made a paper ribbon from one of the sheets in the pack and 

decoupaged the house.

The paper ribbon on the card looks really effective layered onto the gorgeous Noel paper 

from the same pack. 

Nicky has added the Father Christmas element onto the card which looks lovely 

with the glittered effect.

Here is a side view of the Easel card.....great for special Christmas cards!

We have everything you need to make fabulous Christmas Cards and Gifts! Gorgeous Papers, Buttons, Stamps and stickers...we are sure you will find something to inspire you!
