Classy Lady

Today I created this lovely 8x8 card using a topper I coloured, some paper from my stash and a few flowers and a bit of ribbon. 

You could easily make a card like this in any colour scheme as you colour the topper yourself!

What a lovely lady

I spent a while colouring this lovely images and used some paper from my stash to create a sweet little card. all that was needed to embellish was a few pearls, flowers and a tiny bit of ribbon. 

Tattered Lace

Good Afternoon Lovelies, not long ago I did some more designing for tattered lace, using a wonderful CD full of images to colour. Here is some of my colouring and a few of the cards I made. I hope you enjoy looking at them, if you have any questions, leave a comment! 

As pretty as a picture 

So, for once I had some time to do a little bit of colouring and how cute is she? 

April's Child 

What beautiful spring colours are these? You could use this for a birthday card, christening card or even a new baby card. 

The simplicity brings class and charm, you could change the colours of the pearls for added zing or add stick pins to the floral arrangement. 

One for the Boys 

To create this lovely card I used: 

• Half a metre of gold ribbon
• One button style embellishment 
• Two antique corner embellishments 
• Magik Graphics CD for the topper and backing paper 

Tattered Lace Embossing Folders

Hello Lovelies,

I hope that you're all having a fabulous week! It's cold and raining here with a bit of snow expected tonight, how exciting.

Last week I was very busy doing some samples for the new Tattered Lace embossing folders. They're lovely and versatile and fill a card up really easily. Take a look at some of my samples below.

Sunflower Doily

Good Afternoon Lovelies, I hope you are well on this soggy Saturday (I’m referring to the weather). I would like to share with you another creation of mine. The dusty pink and cream colour way is one of my favourites and I think this a card that could be suitable for any occasion and demonstrates the diversity of Tattered Lace dies.

Ingredients:

8x8 Card Blank in Cream
3x A4 sheets of card in Cream
2x A4 Sheets in Dusty Pink
½ Meter of 25mm Dusty Pink Ribbon
Foam Pads
Glue Gun
Tattered Lace Every Day Essentials Glue
Tattered Lace Bow-Maker
Tattered Lace Sunflower Doily Die

Tina’s Tip; You could change the colour ways to black and white for a dramatic feel (a blog coming your way soon) or add some pearls or diamonds for glamour. One of my favourite options is to add some stick pins to the bow, creating an opulent feel.

 Good Morning Lovelies,

So, this is my first blog post, and I hope it’s a creation that you will all love!

Ingredients:

A5 Cream card blank

Tattered Lace Floral Panel

Tattered Lace Pearl Pin Dot Heart

Tattered Lace Small Essential Hearts

25mm thick cream ribbon (around half a meter)

Momento Love Letter Ink

Elegant Sentiments by Creative Expressions stamp “Happy Birthday”

1 x A4 Cream Card

1 x A4 Burgundy Card

3 x Burgundy Pearls (to match card stock)

Tattered Lace Every Day Essentials Glue (with fine nib attached)

Stamping Mount; Rock-a- Blocks by Crafters Companion.

Red tape- Do Crafts

Collall Glue

Foam Pads

Glue Gun

1. Cut the burgundy card to measure 20.8cm by 14.5cm. Save the rest of the burgundy card stock for later.
2. Cut the Tattered Lace Floral Panel. Save the rest of the card stock for later.
3. Adhere the Tattered Lace Floral Panel to the burgundy card stock (20.8 x 14.5cm). This should be done by using the Tattered Lace Every Day Essentials glue and strategically placing the glue so that the flower petals can be raised if desired.
4. Cut the Tattered Lace Peal Pin Dot Heart in the remaining burgundy card stock.
5. Cut one Tattered Lace Small Essential Heart to fit inside the Tattered Lace Peal Pin Dot heart, in the remaining cream card stock.  
6. Stamp your “Happy Birthday” Elegant Sentiments by Creative Expressions on to the Tattered Lace Essential Small Heart. The ink I used is Momento Love Letter ink. I also use Rock-a-Blocks by Crafters Companion.
7. Mount your Tattered Lace Essential Heart that you have just stamped on to the Tattered Lace Pearl Pin Dot Heat using foam pads.
8. Stick some red tape (I use Do Crafts) lengthways, around half way down, along the Tattered Lace Floral Panel and burgundy card you have already stuck together. Leave around 2cm of red tape overlapping at each end.
9. Cut a strip of cream 25mm ribbon to 25 cm’s. Place over the top of the red tape and smooth down. With the overhanging red tape and ribbon, tuck this underneath the Panel and burgundy card to create a crisp edge.
10. Use your Collall glue to stick the panel to the A5 card blank.
11. Make a bow using the Tattered Lace Bow Maker, using the remaining 25mm ribbon, I did a two loop bow.
12. Adhere the bow to the ribbon along the panel. I did mine on the left hand side with the tails overhanging slightly. I also used my glue gun to do this.
13. Next to your bow, adhere your matt and layered heart to the panel, I used foam pads for this to give it height.
14. Finally, using your Tattered Lace Every Day Essential Glue, adhere the three burgundy pearls to the matt and layered heart. 

A Beautiful card ideal for any birthday, you could even change the sentiment and it would make an exceptional Valentine’s Day card.
