Swashbuckling Sweethearts Release - JMC Designs

Happy Tuesday,

There is some amazing news....... Our lovely Julia will be back on Create & Craft Next Monday at 7.00am & 11.00am

You so do not want to miss this awesome, fun collection!

You can also win the collection by taking a stroll over here

My first make with this collection, was an over sized pop up card, I forgot to measure it and as I made it up as I went along.....I think its maybe 8-9" high.

The flap at the front lifts up to reveal an underwater scene , involving fish, shells and a crocodile. I am not going to lie, the underneath was a mare to photograph , each picture completly blurred :-( (so they are not shown on my post)

I used some onion netting an the front , and underneath a little sandpaper for the seabed.

Have a lovely rest of your day

Decoupage The Dolly Dimples Way - Part 3

Happy Monday

Am here today to share with you my trio of Christmas Goodies

These have all been decoupaged to the max and because I wanted the sentiment on the front of the box too - I used 2 sheets . You get ample on a sheet so the box without the sentiment you would only need one.

This sheet is one of my favourite's although this changes daily

The card is 6 3/4" x 5 ", (I know a bit of an odd shape)

The box is 5 1/2" x 4"

and then the little tag - which measures around 2" x 3"

I so, so, so loved making this trio -

and this is what I used

Dolly Dimples - Mixed Media Cardstock

Dolly Dimples - Vellum

Dolly Dimples Decoupage Sheet (2) - Season's Greetings #25

Crafters Companion - Glossy Highlights

Ribbon

Have a fantastic week

Decoupage The Dolly Dimples way - Part 2

Happy Monday,

I actually can't believe we are in September, soon be Christmas (more on that later in my post!)

I have again used my journal with the theme of men's cards the ones we all struggle with, not any more, over at Dolly Dimples there are oodles of Decoupage under the heading Men / Transport

I chose the page Piano, Which was a lot of fun!

His wild hair kept making me giggle!

I also used the stencil Screw Heads and Seals #008

I used this with some Distress Oxide - Vintage Photo.

The Sentiment is from Stickers with a difference

(My go to Sentiments)

Next week is going to be all about Christmas, it will be a lot more than a journal page so be sure to check back

Dolly Dimples Decoupage

Happy Monday

I am here today to share with you my journey of decoupage the Dolly Dimples way!

I adore Dolly Dimples crafts and I just love Decoupage .

I find it so relaxing , so if you find yourself a little stressed order yourself a sheet, grab some scissors, foam pads, or 3d glue (I always use this although in the coming months I may try the pads)

My first share is decoupage in the front of my journal.

The goodies that I have used are :

Decoupage Sheet - Green Orchid

Stencil - Fantasy Flower #25

Sentiment - Stickers With a Difference

I also used

Distress Inks - Mowed Lawn/Lucky Clover/Pine Needles

Glossy Highlights

Sequin Waste

I am not sure why in my photo my Glossy Highlights still look wet in real life they look so lush - I had so much fun putting this together my only wish is that I wish I had made it into a card so I could have sent it to someone , never mind there is always next time, and until then

Take Care
