I've done a few more Craft style products samples which may be part of show going out on Create and craft on the 1st of February.
This range is called Occasions and is a selection of die cut toppers and coordinating backing sheets. The range includes, Valentines day, Mothers day, Easter, Fathers day, Wedding, Sympathy and Get well soon. Its nice to see a kit that give you these different themes, there's a lot of Birthday stuff out there already.
So on to the samples I made,The first one is from the wedding theme, I created a side stepper card from a piece of dot embossed card then used the backing sheet to cover the front section and across the back step, I also ran a thin strip of the embossed card across the front. Toppers were added to the large front section and the middle step and the card was finished off with some little hearts, also from the die cut sheet. I like the colours of this theme and think the bird motifs are right on trend, the foiling also gives it just the right amount of sparkle.
For this card I used one of the bases I was supplied with one side of which was purposely smaller than the other. (I'm personally not sure why so going to see if they are on the show and explained). I made the two sides the same size by adding a piece of striped backing paper from the sympathy theme to the back of the front side I then added another smaller piece to the front to create a layered look. On the topper sheet there is several sizes so I drew around one of the bigger ones on to white card and cut it out so it could frame the topper I had chosen to use. The corners were adorned with little flower embellishments.
The muted cool colour pallet of this theme works well for sympathy I think.
Another unusual shaped card this time a double easel card. Again I have used embossed card to make this base this time with a star theme to be in-keeping with the Fathers day theme. One side of the easel has a large topper on and the other a smaller topper with dot embellishments, which I added sliver stars to. the bas of the card has some of the backing sheet which matches up well with the larger topper, the stop for the easels is created using some of the boarder strip that comes on the backing sheet and more stars are added to the corners to keep up the red and blue theme. This is a fun theme with strong male colours and on trend moustache graphic.
With the Fathers day theme there is also a Mothers day sheet, which was used to create this card. For this I used some of the back sheet, a crisp bright pink polka dot. I placed strips paper shaped at the bottom to play on the bunting trend this also has the added benefit of filling a lot of the card while using the patterned paper economically (everyone wants to get the most out of everything.) The sentiment topper is added to the bottom corner and a strip of boarder from the backing sheet is placed across the banners. I added a circle of mirror card and a paper flower to one of the die cut flowers off the sheet to finish off this card.
The last sample I did in this set was a simple Easter card. I took one of the larger topper and cut out the bunny on another so with some foam pads could create some depth to the topper. I also added some gold card to the back of the sentiment so it ties in with the gold foiling on the other elements.This sheet also has some cute chicks on it.
So look out for my cards of the show.
