Latest craftstyle samples.

Craft style products have expanded their cut and create range here are the samples I made with the new designs.
 I decided to be more creative with the shape of my cards for this set of samples.
So here is the first one for this I stuck together two square cards the cut away slanting portions of two sections to create the zigzag. I then layered them with backing paper in this red industrial look, (which I think is great for boys cards) and topped it with one of the new dinosaur designs and sentiment.









The next card was a card in a box which is becoming a popular style of card. I found instructions for this here a very clear and comprehensive tutorial. This card featured one of the new robot designs and I felt the style of card went well with it. I enjoyed making this style of card and look forward to doing more like it in future.
 The next card is a style I've been wanting to try for a while, a lever card. It has taken me quite a while to find clear instructions I have found some here they are no in English but the pictures are easy to follow. I used two square card blanks to make this and covered them in different backing papers and added an assembled topper and sentiment.   I have added a couple more photos of this card so you can see how it folds.












For change from just cards I created this cute door hanger. I stuck together two pieces of the backing paper, (which is quite thick so is sturdy enough) and then decorated is with monkey toppers and stamped my own cheeky sentiment. I think its all rather cute and shows that you don't just have to make cards with this products your and expand and do home decor bits too.











My last two cards are abit more normal this purple dinosaur is put on an easel card. With backing paper and sentiment creating a stopper.














And this one showing the other robot design is on a normal card blank, I will say that these designs do make quite large toppers, and are very bold and bright, excellent for children. The photograph doesn't show it very well but some of the white patches on this card are a complimenting embossed card with a zigzag pattern on.






So there you go samples done and sent back to craftstyle.
More crafting coming soon and not too but longer before the bumper blog about all the crafting I have been doing to help with my sisters wedding.
