Jan:Pretty Paper 2

Why 2? well it seems Blogger was playing games with my last post.
So if you're a paper addict like me you need to pop over to the shop to drooole buy  the pretty paper Jean has for us. They are from a French company and the colours are positively dreamy. I made a cute Z fold card for a friend's birthday using this paper and I only needed to add a few pearls to the background to make it look really special.


  So if you're in need of a paper fix pop over to the shop as I can see that Jean has just uploaded some new arrivals. Yummy....

Buttoned Up...

Buttons and cabuchons....very pretty on their own but even prettier when you add



some simple felt shapes

and stitch them onto something......

I think they look fab stitched on to this pear.....

Julie: Dahlia Flower Cabochon card

Hello again.

Here's a quick and easy cardmade special by the addition of three dahlia flower cabochon:

I used Nesties to build up a few layers before adding a vintage image, a greeting, and finally the resin flowers:

I don't think I'm alone in sometimes thinking "I'll only use one of these on here." when I like an embellishment so much I want to make them stretch a bit further! Yet sometimes it's worth being bold and using more than one at a time, because they can look so nice clustered together in a group, especially when they coordinate with the colours in the rest of the card:

And here are the cabochon I put to use today [click image to visit the shop].

 

 Thanks for visiting here today and if you haven't visited the shop today then just follow this link to see the latest products which have landed on the 3DJean doorstep.

Julie :: Cosmo Cricket Christmas cards

Hello again.

Today's project is something a little bit festive: a set of cards featuring papers from the Cosmo Cricket 'Dear Mr. Claus' 6x6 pad along with a pack of the Mixed Christmas Colour Carnation Flowers, both of which are available in the shop now:

The cards I used were only 3x3 inches, and I had an idea to select out a central image from the paper designs and give them the  feel of a festive - retro - postage stamp:

I covered the front of the cards with one of the less patterned designs, stitched around the square, wrapped seam binding / raffia / lace around them and then layered a perforated stamp die-cut on top:

Finally a stamped greeting and a single paper carantion took up the last bit of decorative space on these tiny cards:

That's my last post here before Christmas - so Season's Greetings to you!

Julie :-)
