Cards are very simple to make with this kit and the end result provides you with quick elegant cards. This first one was just a matter of cutting the image from the cardstock and gluing it to a card back, I added a flower to the center of the oval but you could choose any embellishment you wish to highlight, for example if you were making it as a birthday card you could put a number inside to represent their age.



This second card was just as simple, again the images on the paper are so beautiful themselves and accented with glitter that they really don't need much, a simple inking of the edges and a sewn on boarder and you're done! My husband even said he would buy that card. I thought it was too simple!



Here is a quick card that would be good for a party invitation...

Here I used the white scalloped ribbon and simply ran an ink block along it to give it a coloured and textured look. Again I just cut two images from the cardstock and layered them to create another quick card.




In this sample I used the letters provided but with a little ink and glitter I dressed up the chipboard, it wasn't necessary the letters also looked good in their raw form, but you have options on how you wish to used them!



And here is the layout from My Mind's Eye that was posted in the preview on the side bar. To purchase the kit to make all these great paper crafts be sure to visit www.createdwithpaper.com

Happy New Year!

Today marks the first day of 2012! It also marks Created With Paper's launch of the Love Letter Collection by Little Yellow Bicycle. This month I have the need for lots of thank you cards for gift sent to our newest little arrival Sophia Violet Lightwood who was born a week before Christmas, so that what I used the kit for. It just goes to show the versatility of this kit, because it is Love themed, but it doesn't have to be, the colours and embellishments can be fashioned in so many different ways for many different themes.

Lost & Found Christmas Collection!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" over at Created With Paper! Today marks the launch of a great Holiday Kit. This is an unusual mix of sparkly bling and vintage tones but it really works well together. The kit is shown as above and below is a must have add on kit!

Here are four quick yet elegant Christmas cards you could easily put together with this collection. The "Merry & Bright" sentiment comes from a patterned paper!


You may notice in this card that the tree is oriented differently than it came. Originally I put this card together not realizing that the tree was laying on it's side, but not wanting to abandon this layout I used my circle punch to cut the tree out and rotate it 90 degrees to the left.


Here the Noel was also cut from patterned paper, the ribbon is from the die cut Noel cut off (that was used in the second card) and I machine stitched a quick line down the side.
