Tattered Lace Portmanteau Collection DT samples

Following the launch of Tattered Lace Portmanteau collection, I am sharing my DT samples made from some of the dies for the launch on Create and Craft TV .

I had the following dies to work with:- There's no place like home, Centre of Attention, Fields & Foliage, 3D Decoupage English Ivy, 3D Decoupage Buddleia, Bell Iar.

This is by far my favourite die of those I had to work with, in the collection. I love a bit of diorama.

I used kraft card for the base and papers from one of the Santoro Gorjuss paper pad collections.  This die set also comes with the luggage labels and wording. 

You can use up your textured papers to achieve the leather look straps.

I used most of the label for the inside fo the case and then started to add the contents which comprised of 2 origami paper shirts, a miniature atlas(free dollhouse download) glasses embellishments, miniature handwritten letter embellishment and a book which I made using a download from Pinterest.

I also made a feminine version incorporating the centre of attention die.

Instead of backing paper I used some sample wallpaper from my stash, that I have been looking for a use for ages. I also added the spine die on this portrait version using snow white centura pearlescent card.

I have used the centre of attention die with the lacy panel on the inside along with some embellishments to fill the case.

Not everyone wants to use the charisma papers which you can download direct from the Tattered Lace website, along with papers (where available) but they can be downloaded using the link below.

For this particular die I have used papers and card from my stash to achieve the looks I wanted and them paper pieced them, which is really easy on this die.

I think this combo would also make a really good birthday card, especially if you are looking for something a little different.

I have used the There's no place like home die with the fields & foliage die for a scenic open bookcase using snow white centura pearl card, Hunkydory mirri card (from their darks collection) and olive green pearls from The Dreamees. I have used the matching charisma paper for the fields & foliage die.

I could just about fit the decoupaged fields of foliage inside one of the panels with some green backing paper from Tim Holtz coordinations cardstock.

A stack of cases using Tattered Lace papers printed from their wallet collection  which have been printed onto white cardstock. 

Also with the there's no place like home die set is a small wallet die which I have used as a clutch bag.

I have used some of the luggage labels as tickets and another printable fold up map.

These cases have been stuck onto a sturdy circular base.

Following on from the fields & foliage die, I decided to play around with a different card shape, using the Tattered Lace Harlequin dies.

Using kraft card, colour core card and bronze Dreamee pearls.

I have also used the decoupage branch from this die on the front of the card with the doves.

I have also used the 3D decoupage English ivy with the fields & foliage for a larger card, adding a few layers.

Using the centre of attention die again and papers from Stephanie Weightmans Designer collection with some dies from the Tattered Lace Vintage Designer collection for a shabby chic card.

This die comes with 2 outline dies (unity dies) which enables you to use them together or on the edge of the card to achieve the shape on your card.

I thought the papers worked really well with this die and added a touch of lace behind the dress to complete the look and the frill from the dress as a shawl.

A trio of mannequins using some luxury wallpaper as backing paper and some pearlescent papers for the dresses. I have also used a blue/grey double sided pearlescent card for my base card.

Using the unity die to cut the shape from the gatefold card.

I also used some of the accessories dies from the Tattered Lace celebrations pop ups collection and some gold rope ribbon.

Just to show how the unity die works when used with the gatefold card.

Now onto the bell jar. I had an idea of trailing flowers from glass case and this is what I came up with.  There are 3 parts to this die, the flowers, the background and the outline of the bell jar.

I used the charisma papers with the die and just decoupaged them, chopping the rest up for my flurry of flowers.

This card actually worked out a lot better than I had anticipated.  Sometimes I have these ideas and them have to fathom out how to make them work. I used a little hot glue to join both pieces together.

Then mounted it onto a circle easel, adding some more flowers to the base. I used colour core card from Create & Craft for the base card and layers.

For a neat thank you card I used the ribbon dies from the Tattered Lace Violet Haze collection, with the corners from the There's no place like home die and some glossy accent on the base of the bell jar.

I also added some Tattered Lace glittered acetate I had left and only 2 levels of decoupage so that I could add the from to the jar.

Its a sweet die and ideal for smaller cards or toppers.

It also works perfectly with the Tattered lace Tri fold card die.

For this A5 leaving card I have used the lace panel from the Tattered Lace vintage designers collection with the expression of lace diamond frame and the 3D decoupage buddleia dies.

I used the matching charismas with the buddleia dies.

I used the 3D decoupage buddleia with the 3D decoupage English ivy dies for this get well card.

I also used part of the Tattered Lace Tall stepper card for the card base.

Finally another idea I had.  Often seeing how ivy climbs across walls and fences, I decided to create my own card base using a brick stencil, Tim Holts distress ink in gathered twigs and some kraft card.

I used the 3D decoupaged English ivy with the 3D decoupage buddleia for a more rustic looking card.

I hope you've enjoyed my selection of cards

Happy Crafting!

Sweet Nothings Collection by Katy Hudson

I thought I'd share my DT samples from a collection I have been working on which are ready for the launch on Create & Craft TV tomorrow.

I love these adorable squirrels using the Perfect Pair die, accompanied by the sweet nothings die and those little blue tits.

The charismas cards come in a pack accompanied by an equal amount of vellum ones to die cut.  The card stock is super smooth and a good weight, with crisp images. No need to download, and ready for you to start crafting.

For each die, I have also made one using the vellum charisma. I included the Thank You die in this card but cut it in half so that I could use the flowers at both ends, not losing the sentiment. On all these samples I have used the matching cardstock, which again is a good heavy weight of card, perfect for card bases or layering with your dies like I have done.

Each die has a topper sheet to match which includes sentiments that you can mix and match with the card from the collection. I have used the Pretty Posies die and charisma for this card mixing it with the topper and card.

With a good selection of toppers you can also make smaller cards. Here I have used the vellum charisma on an acetate panel for my card with the toppers and card stock from the Pretty Posies.

Using the New Home die, matching toppers and card on my easel card.  All the other dies used in these samples are from various Tattered Lace collections.

My favourite colours on this card and some pretty card to accompany the collection also.

For my tent shaped floating acetate card I have used the vellum New Home die with the same toppers and cardstock.

The Its a gift die from the Tattered lace Vintage Designer collection was an ideal shape for the Special Couple die due to its bird cage like shape. I have decoupaged it and used it as a hanging topper on the front of the card. I have also included those cute blue tits from the Sweet Nothings dies.

Again I love these colours and its a pretty collection, with lots of elements to use.

A vellum wrap card using the vellum charisma wrap that I have not die cut, just adding the Sweet Nothings die to the edges of the card.

I have used the matching cardstock, some mint green vellum as an insert and the toppers as an insert panel.

A thank you card using the Thank You die and the matching cardstock behind the lacy frame die which has been die cut using the Sweet Nothings cardstock.

An acetate bowed fronted card using the same Thank You die but this time on the vellum.

Back to those cute squirrels adding a touch of the pretty posies on my tent card using the triangle wrap die from the Vintage Designer collection.  The toppers in this collection are easy to mix and match.

This collection does actually have an insert pack available to purchase but it wasn't part of my collection.

Katy Hudson is launching her new papercraft collection on Create and Craft, a full-time Illustrator based in Bristol became obsessed with drawing animals and telling stories.  The idea stuck which led her to studying for a degree in illustration and creating some wonderful illustrations.

All these items can be purchased as a whole collection or individually from Create and Craft TV.

Happy Crafting
