Mad Hatter Birthday card

I'm sharing my Mad Hatters Birthday card for our challenge this month over on our blog challenge at Daisy Chains with a birthday theme.

As one of my friends loves the Mad Hatter, I thought that it would make a perfect card.

The artwork for this card is by Debbi Moore and it can be downloaded for £1.50 from the link below:-

For my stepper card, I used an A4 sheet of cream 300gsm cardstock and some of the chequered backing paper from the download.

There was a good selection of different sized toppers for the panels on the card and I added some cog die cuts using some copper satin mirri board with a time charm on some antique gold ribbon.

A little glossy accent on the timepiece and some copper metallic enamel embellishments.

It all folds flat into an envelope too which is really handy when posting.

Have a look at the inspiration from the rest of the design team and what our crafters have been making for our blog challenge this month.

Tattered Lace Raspberry Rose DT samples

Sharing my DT samples from the Tattered Lace Raspberry Rose collection launching on Create & Craft TV tomorrow at 8am.

I had the following flower dies to work with:- Climbing Rose, 3D Decoupage Gardenia Diamond & 3D Decoupage Magnolia Diamond. 

3D Decoupage Gardenia Diamond

These dies have so much detail and have been printed onto bright white smooth 190gsm card using the matching charisma papers downloadable for free from the Tattered Lace website. Also using the backing papers from the collection. The little bumble bee is also part of this collection.

Using both the diamond frames, which have been snipped into to join them up

I have used the Tattered Lace Fine Filament Portifino die set and added an acetate panel to the front of the card.

The large square lacy edged die also makes a great insert for the card. The edges of the petals have been inked to add a little depth.

This time I have just used the flowers to make a flower ring without the diamond frame and used the Tattered Lace Filigree Lace die set.

The Tattered Lace Climbing Rose die, such a pretty rose with so much detail. used with the tall stepper die set from the Tattered Lace Pressed Rose collection and the Diamond Fresco Frame, along with the backing papers from the collection.

Using the charisma papers in My Craft Studio Elite I changed the colours of the roses to create a pale blue, more vintage pink and a lavender rose with coordinating ribbons and some of those bumble bees on acetate to look like they are hovering above my open book card. I used the Tattered Lace Notebook die with some of the papers from the collection and a pink leather look paper from a previous download.

Using the oval Foundation Nesting dies with some of the papers on a satin silver grey cardstock.

The 3D Decoupage Gardenia Diamond die has been printed onto glossy card and decoupaged onto  the diamond aperture. The aperture has an apple green vellum panel and I have used the diamond Foundation nesting dies along with magnolia backing papers from the collection.

A handbag card using the Tattered Lace Dimensional Handbag die set. The magnolias have been printed onto cream velour cardstock for a felt feel to them and decoupaged before adding a little sparkle using a spectrum noir sparkle clear overlay pen. I have used Kraft card for a more rustic look and some Kanban colour core embossed pattened card from my crafty stash.

These are just a few dies from the collection that I had the pleasure to work with and hope you have liked my inspiration from the collection.
