Tattered Lace Sunset Beach Collection Launch - DT samples

Following the launch of the Tattered Lace  Sunset Beach launch on Create & Craft TV I am sharing some of my samples.

I had 4 die sets to work with:-

Sunset Beach - Ella

Tattered Lace Dies Sunset Beach Collection Ella die, used to make a shadow box card. The dies have been paper pieced and I have used Tattered Lace backing papers to make this project, with the exception of the sandpaper used for the grainy sand.  I printed the paper onto card, double sided, to get the same wood effect print inside too.

Sunset Beach - Bathing Beauties

Tattered Lace Sunset Beach - Bathing Beauties collection. A gatefold card using candy striped Tattered Lace papers. I have again decided to paper piece the dies for an array of colour. In this collection, you have Sandy, Grant and Francesca.  

Sunset Beach - You are Clawsome

The mdf plaque has been painted with chalk paint and I have used sandpaper for the grainy sand. Finished off with some little shells from my walks along the beach.  I have used Tim Holtz spiced marmalade distress ink and clear embossing powder on the crab which has been die cut from hammered card to give a little more texture.

I have used the same Sunset Beach Collection - you are clawsome die to make a card, using embossing folders on the backing papers to add a pattern and texture.  I just used the spiced marmalade distress ink on the crab instead of embossing it.

Sunset Beach - Sandcastle

Using a balsawood postcard I covered the front with Tattered Lace paper, adding some cream lace around the edged and decoupage the sandcastle die with peach mirri card.

The Charisma papers were not ready for me to craft with when I made my cards for the launch, so due to short deadlines, I decided to paper piece the die cuts and leave the last die dimensioned in mirri card. From the mirri card you can still see the depth of detail from this die.

Tattered Lace - Loving Memories Collection DT samples

Following the launch of the Tattered Lace Loving Memories Collection launch on Create & Craft TV I am sharing some of my samples.

I had 3 die sets to work with:-

Precious Nested Book Die

This makes a lovely Christening/Communion book

 I have used parchment paper for the pages and printed a verse onto it, accompanied by one of the crosses and using a piece of the chain die from the Tattered Lace Neo Victoriana collection.

Using the same Nested Book die set I have made a memory book with Tattered Lace papers and coordinating paper flowers and ribbons.

Inside, I have included a pocket with a bookmark. The pocket has been made with the small Nested book die.

 For the little Communion Memory Book, I have used the smaller Nested Book die from the set.

Attaching a gold woven tassel for a page mark/decoration

Plenty of pages to write and record memories and thoughts of the special day.

Gilded Cross Die

The cross has been decoupaged onto matt mirri card to create delicate layers and I have paper pieces the lilies.

.

 I have used a slice of ash wood as its bark ties in so well to this project and some white woven ribbon with hessian ribbon intertwined.

Using the same die I have made some Christmas cards to show the versatility of the die.

Monochrome card using the rich sapphire blue and white.

  I have used the same white linen card for the decoupaged cross to coordinate with the card base.

 For this Christmas card I have used the match Charisma topper which is downloadable from the Tattered Lace website to match your die perfectly to get edge to edge colour from your die cut.
I have also used their rounded corner and lacy diamond trellis dies for this card.

Memorial Cross die

For this card, I used more subtle colours incorporating the Nested Book die for the card base and also using the matching Charisma die.

I had the following die to work with:

Summer/Beach Plaque

My DT project this month over on  Daisy Chain is a wall plaque to follow the summer/beach challenge. 

The Sunset Beach collection has just been launched by Tattered Lace on Create & Craft TV and there are free charisma papers available for the dies whilst the dies are still in stock.  Charisma papers are the toppers made to fit the die perfectly.

My mdf plaque has been painted with blue chalk paint and I have used sandpaper for the sand, which gives the perfect texture for the grainy sand on the beach.

I have used Tim Holtz spiced marmalade distress ink on the crab die which I die cut from hammered card to give it a little more texture.  Then the crab has been heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

A few shells from the beach and a little mdf heart was enough to finish my seaside plaque off.

Take a look over Daisy Chain Challenges by following the link and see what our fab DT have been making this month.  The challenge is just for fun but why don't you join in and share your creations with the group.
