Tattered Lace Autumn Allure Collection Launch - DT Samples

Following the launch of Autumn Allure collection from Tattered Lace on Create & Craft TV, I thought I would share my DT samples with you using the dies that I had to work with.

• Crystal Love Tapestry
• SpecOWL Delivery Tapestry
• Autumn Radiance (decoupage flowers)
• Neverending Frames Tatting
• Neverending Venise Frames
• Neverending Corner Frames

An aperture card made using the Crystal Love Tapestry die and Autumn Radiance decoupage flowers.  The centre panel of the card has been raised and the die with its own charisma paper has been mounted onto pink vellum. The colour of the charisma image will vary depending on the paper/card that you print onto.  I wanted a pastel image for this card but you will notice the difference with the congratulations card how more vibrant the image is.

For this 21st Birthday card, I have used part of the Crystal Love Tapestry die along with the Autumn Radiance decoupage flowers and the Neverending Frames Tatting. They have been used with their matching charisma papers. This die is easy to snip into to adapt to the type of card you want to make. I only wanted the lady in the glass for this 21st birthday card for instance.

The same Crystal Love Tapestry die with matching charisma paper has been used for this congratulations card. The charisma was printed onto glossy cardstock and then die cut.

A Dutch style card made using the SpecOWL Delivery Tapestry die with the Autumn Radiance Decoupage flower dies and their matching charisma papers along with the Neverending Venise Frames/corner dies.

Using the same SpecOWL Delivery Tapestry die, along with the Autumn Radiance decoupage flowers and Neverending Venise frames with corners onto white pearlescent card. I have made an aperture easel card with snowy acetate for my snowy owl onto kraft card.

I thought as this beautiful barn owl die has tapestry in its name, that I would make exactly that. For this hanging tapestry, I have used the Autumn Radiance decoupage flower dies and Neverending Frames Tatting with corners. You could actually add a mini calendar to the bottom panel and make it into a hanging calendar.

I have used the SpecOWL Delivery Tapestry die with a bit of mixed media this time, making a tag using royal peacock megaflake gilding flakes by Indigoblu onto black card and a steampunk embossing folder, coloured with antique gold gilding wax.

I have added a little shimmer to the flower band on the decoupaged flowers to make them stand out.

I particularly enjoyed making this A5 pocket invitation.  It has an RSVP card in the pocket. I have used the Autumn Radiance decoupage flower dies with their matching charismas along with the Neverending Frames Tatting and corners.

Using the Autumn Radiance decoupage flower dies with their charisma paper and all the frame dies, I have made an easel draw card with notelets. A pretty and versatile collection of die which I enjoyed using.

Birthday Book Card

For this months blog challenge on Let's Craft and Create, I am sharing a Birthday Book card made with Dreamee products and a Tattered Lace die set for our "friend" theme.

First I printed the wood grain backing paper, double sided onto hammered card for a little more texture using The Dreamees Sweet Sunflowers cd

Die cut the larger book dies twice and then join the spined dies together using a strong pva based glue like cosmic shimmer. The smaller of the large die can be used for pages inside your book or for panels as I have used them on the top and bottom.   I've also die cut the label using peach satin board by Create & Craft.

I stamped the sweet sunflowers onto the Dreamees velour paper, which has a lovely suede feel to it, using their dinky inkies to colour them in with one of their water brushes.

This card/paper takes the ink really well, whether you stamp onto it or colour.

I then die cut the flowers and layered them up.

Velour paper

I had a small zip and decided to cover it with some cream cotton lace to give the book front a prettier look to it with the sunflowers bursting through the centre. Pinflair glue gel is a perfect glue for this sort of project.  Using the Dreamees dotty alphabet stamps for the name in the label.

Dotty Alphabet stamp set

I stamped some white tissue paper with the largest stamp in the set, which made perfect coordinating paper to wrap it in.

Using the same velour paper I stamped my puppies using the Dreamees Pretty Pets stamp set.

I included the little mouse from their Autumn Days stamp set and used my Pearlescent dinky inkies to colour them in with the water brush again.

Onto cream card I have printed a leaf and sunflower backing paper (double sided) and made a box base to fit inside the book.

Using a piece of green lacy webbing for the grass and the sunflower leaves as foilage behind and around the puppies which have been adhered with pinflair glue gel, giving great dimension.

I used red liner tape to fix the box in place into the box but a strong pva glue like cosmic shimmer would also work well.

I have also stamped the Dreamees Friendship Dish recipe stamp onto coordinating wood grain card to form the plaque for the inside of the book. The Friendship Dish stamp was one of the first stamps I bought from The Dreamees.

A little Ranger glossy accent on the puppies eyes and nose to finish them off.

I have to say I love this precious nested book die by Tattered Lace, it has so many uses.
