Forget-me-not Cards

These cards were simply a delight to make from the Forget-me-not collection!! I'm loving all the gold accented pages that you can find in the 6.5" paper pad... and I'm still reveling in the joy of making square cards ... why I didn't convert to this format a long time ago I'll never know!!LOL

I kept the cards pretty simple as usual, just using a few of the Collectables to decorate the beautiful papers with and a little bit of bling ... a little bit of bling really seems to make a difference to any project.

I also find that the cards with something 3D on them always sell first, people seem to like a bit of meat on their cards ... must have more of a hand made feel to them? Or maybe it just seems like more bang for your buck? In any case I always 3D something on my cards these days for this very reason ... either with a 3D flower or a die cut raised up on 3D tape.

Thanks for popping over for a look...

Have a wonderful day.

Sat. Sketch #4 Dec 2012

For todays Saturday Sketch I have used the Forget-me-not collection, I'm really developing a bit of a crush on the whole hexagon thing that so defines this collection, but I gave it break today to pursue some of the other patterns in this happy range.

Here I have also used loads of bees and butterflies... I LOVE LOVE LOVE those little wood flourish bees... they are off-the-charts cute!

I've also used some of the new printed tape from kaisercraft (widely referred to as Washi Tape) to make that gorgeous border ... I actually do have a Kaisercraft stamp that could make the same pattern  but the tape was just soooo easy I couldn't resist. This was a sample I got to try out... I believe the product will be available for purchase next month!

This is the original sketch from the Kaisercraft Blog... as you can see I have flipped the sketch to the right to make my layout...

Forget-Me-Not Layout

 Today I'm introducing the elegant and beautiful Forget-Me-Not Collection ... the colours in this collection so deep and mello at times yet highlighted perfectly by the playful and airy peach colour that so defines it! I can tell this little collection is will popular...

I have used the die cut speciality sheet and much of the sticker sheet to create this layout of my sweet little Daisy... I especially like the effect of all tose honeycomb shapes all about the place ... I'm such a fashion victim ... these hexagons are all the rage in scrapbooking at the moment and I can see why... they are just that bit different and fun to work with!!

Thanks for popping on by for a look... cheers from Kel.
