Tattered Lace Enchanted Tales Collection

Sharing my samples for the launch of Tattered Lace Enchanted Tales on Create & Craft TV this afternoon.


A lovely collection and the selection of dies that I had to work with were a joy to work with.  Due to illness, I didn't have long to work with them but this is what I had and made.

Enchanted Book, 3D Castle, Hourglass, Take a bite (apple), Having a fling (mice), Stepping out, cardstock to match the collection.




Using the 3D castle die and flowers from the book die to make a princess party invitation. I simply love the turrets of this castle.










 


Using the little mice characters from the Having a fling die and the Enchanted Book die, I decided to make a seed diary. I thought it would be a nice gift for a friend who liked gardening.  So I had a look at all the seeds that I had collected in various labelled paper envelopes in my tupperware box from last summer so see what I could pop in.












I found some lovely free downloads online for seed packets and this one had a little note to go with it that I thought was adorable from another blogger by the name of Shoregirl's Creations.
I thought you could make a note of when you planted them etc. There are lots of free downloads on Pinterest for seed packs if you wish to diversify.

I have just made 4 simple pockets for this book but it would easily fit more along with a lot more varied detail.  I have just decorated the front of each with a nature theme to fit the use.











Or for a special young mans birthday card, this little house mouse from the Stepping out die and the Enchanted Book die transformed into an ideal card for him I think.






For the Take a bite apple die, I also made it into a little notepad.





Just using the outer frame and spine of the book card combined with the Hourglass dies





Used with the Tattered Lace Portofino square lace die. 






A rocker card just seemed quite apt for these Having a fling mice accompanied by the delicate flowers from the Enchanted Book die. The die has been placed onto an acetate panel with one of the picturesque backing papers from My Craft Studio.



And finally my model fairy castle. using the 3D Castle die. I wanted to see if it was actually possible to build a reasonable looking castle from this die as I am not sure that is what it was intended for.
So what do you think? ...........









I will certainly look forward to using certain dies from this collection a lot more in the future. I love anything to do with mystic enchantment.


The charisma papers to match the dies shown can be downloaded for free directly from the Tattered Lace Website.

Tattered Lace Heavenly Hybrid Collection

Following the launch of the Tattered Lace Heavenly Hybrid Collection on Create and Craft TV, I'm sharing the samples that I made as part of the launch.

The dies I used from the collection were: - Vintage Bookmarks, Treasured Time, Mimosa Mouse, Vintage Hydrangea Square Frames, Hydrangea Infusion Mulk Jug, Hydrangea Sugar Bowl and matching charisma papers for the dies. Backing papers from cd rom & cardstock from the collection.





A mix of the Vintage Hydrangea Square Frames along with the Hydrangea milk and sugar bowl.  
The hydrangea flowers have been decoupaged to add dimension.





Using the  Tattered Lace Foundation Doilies from the Designer Vintage Collection with the Mimosa Mouse and Sugar Bowl. I used the flowers from the mouse to form the border around the card.











The Vintage Bookmark was my favourite from this collection simply because of its possibilities
I even used the smallest flower dies to make my embellishments on the tag.





I have used the Tattered Lace Designer Vintage Triangle Wrap die for the card shape to form the pocket for my tags. Adding the decoupaged Hydrangeas from the Hydrangea Square Frames dies.  I have also used the backing papers from the collection and here I have printed them onto sumi paper.





On the reverse, I have stamp some friendship sentiments.







I made this into a picture frame card using the peach charismas from the cd rom collection which have been printed onto vellum and decoupaged before being added to the acetate frame.





I have used a combination of vellum and card for the flowers and frame for the cover and although it is not clear in the picture, the wood grain patterned paper on the inside has been printed onto pearlescent paper.





These Hydrangeas are lovely, they have little dips in the dies to naturally push the little petals out on these flowers to give them a more natural shape and are not very fiddly to decoupage, which some flowers with small petals can be.  I have used the Vintage Bookmark as an easel card.








A neat little card  using the Vintage Bookmark and the Treasures Time dies.





Easy to snip into to make a well done in your studies card.




The charisma papers to match the dies shown can be downloaded for free directly from the Tattered Lace Website.
