Craft Consortium - Leather Bound #3

Hi everyone

For my project today I'm sharing a tag I made using lots of elements and papers from Craft Consortium's 'Leather Bound' & 'Vintage Emporium' pads, stamps and embellishments. I must admit I don't often create mixed media projects, so I was a little out of my comfort zone when I made this....but I did enjoy the freedom. The tag was featured on Hobbymaker TV, and I got a lovely shout out from the presenter Hayley West which was wonderful.

The papers and stamps worked brilliant on the tag, giving it lots of much texture without the added weight and bulk of the real thing. I did start out with a pared down version of this, but then decided to add gems and glitter. I have included both version. I hope you like them. :)

This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches. 
On TV

Version 1

Version 2

This Is What I Did
I covered the tag with paper 'Leather Bound' collection then stamped stains and texture over the top. Ink was applied around the edges along with some gold wax. Postcards were cut out of the 'Vintage Emporium' pad and glued onto across the tag. I die cut a doily with paper from the LB pad, inked it up, cut it in half and glued it onto the tag. 

An ornate frame was die cut several times from kraft card and once from patterned paper; they were glued together. Part of the frame was added to the tag, the rest was cut off. A die cut paper flower was created using papers from the LB pad, an embellishment was glued in the centre and gold wax was applied all over it. I stamped out a sentiment, inked it up and added it to the top. 

I continued to die cut leaves and embellishments using papers from both pads and glued them onto the tag. Punched out butterflies, gold glitter hearts, clock, wooden hearts and gold pearls were also added to the tag. This where I stopped on the first version of the tag. 

On the second version I added gold coloured gems and lots of gold multi glitter. Which version do you like?


Other Things I Used: 
MDF Tag, Kraft Card, Clock, Resin Flower, MDF Stars, Gold Gilding Wax, Butterfly Punch & Die, Botanicals & Lazy Daisy Die (Crafters Companion), Cosmos Flower & Lace Doily Die (Creative Expressions), Celebration Die Set (Katy Sue Designs), Heart Stencil (Marianne Designs), Tea Dye & Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Gold Glitter Card, Gems, Glitter, Black Ink, Glue

Craft Consortium - Leather Bound #2

Hi everyone

Did you catch the fabulous Craft Consortium show on Hobbymaker TV highlighting the stunning 'Leather Bound' collection, and the 'Vintage Emporium' paper pad with Helen Kirkham. The collection is ideal for all project types especially masculine ones, journaling and mixed media. It's so versatile!

Unfortunately the card I'm sharing today wasn't shown on the show, so I'm sharing here and on social media. To create it I used the papers from both the 'Leather Bound' & Vintage Emporium' pads to make a Spring/Easter card. Most of the elements were cut using my Silhouette cutting machine and a cutting file, with the addition of a few craft dies from my stash (see below). Everything was cut out and layered up to give a mini 3d effect ideal for popping in the post. I think the papers work brilliant, giving everything so much texture without the weight and bulk of the real thing.

This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches. 




This Is What I Did
I trimmed down a piece of paper from the 'Vintage Emporium paper pad to fit the front of a 5" x 7" white card blank. Next I cut out all the elements for the rabbit and box using the 'Leather Bound' paper pad. The eggs, greenery and flowers were cut out using coloured card, some using dies. Everything was layered up to create the scene. The sentiment was cut out 3 times (2 x brown card and1 x gold mirror card), glued together and added to the front of the box. To finish the card, I added natural adhesive pearls to the flowers along with a punched out butterfly.


Other Things I Used: 
5” & 7” White Card Blank, Silhouette Cutting File (Artist-Your Magic Line), Silhouette Cutting Machine, Butterfly Punch, Ornate Frame Die Set (Hunkydory), Stitched Border Die (Lawn Fawn), Spring Foliage & Best Wishes Die Sets (Creative Expressions), Card - White, Pink, Brown, White, Lilac, Cream, Yellow, Red, Green, Glue

Craft Consortium - Leather Bound Collection #1

Hi everyone

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago I've re-joined the Craft Consortium Design Team, which I'm absolutely thrilled with. The company is a British family run business and they are a wonderful company to design for.  Craft Consortium's products are always extremely high quality and stunning to look at. Definitely check them out!


So for my first post I'm sharing 2 of my latest projects made using the wonderful stamps and papers from the newly launched 'Leather Bound' collection (see above). For my creations I teamed the collection up with a few papers from the 'Vintage Emporium' paper pad, mirror card and a few gold pearls. The collection will suit all types of project especially those difficult masculine ones, but for my cards today I decided to give them a feminine twist and add flowers to one and use a heart die and paper piece on the other. I think the colourway in the pad is perfect for those people who don't like pinks and blues etc. You can find the collection on the Craft Consortium online store (see the link below). 

This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. In the USA, it will be distributed by Notions Marketing. You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches.
Card #1

Card #1
This Is What I Did (card #1)
I stamped coffee strains and water mats onto a piece of patterned paper from the Leather Bound 6" x 6" pad, then trimmied it to fit the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, I left a slim border around the edge. 

Next I die cut a fancy frame 3 times - 3 x kraft card and 1 x pattern paper. The kraft card die cut frames were glued together. Using the journaling sentiments I stamped 'Family' with Versamark ink onto the paper frame, added gold embossing powder and melted it. The frame was then glued onto top of the kraft card frame, and added to the centre of the card front. Using a beautiful flower die set I cut out several flowers and leaves from papers in the pad, and arranged them around the left hand side of the card. To finish the card, I added gold adhesive pearls to complete the look. 

Other Things I Used: 
6” x 6” White Card Blank, Gold Glitter Card, 'Be Bold Blooms' Die Set (Spellbinders), Square Fancy Frame (Polkadoodles), Peeled Paint Distress Ink, Kraft Card, Versamark Ink, Gold Embossing Powder, Black Hybrid Ink, Double Sided Tape, Glue

Card #2

Card #2

This Is What I Did (card #2)
I trimmed down a piece of patterned paper from the 'Leather Bound' pad to fit the front of a 6" x 6" scalloped card blank. I stamped 'Love Life' on the bottom of the paper with black ink, and punched out the corners. I splashed the area with watered down gold paint, when it was dry I glued it to the card front.

Next I die cut the heart design from white card (back) and it's accompanying floral cut out (front) and glued them both together. Using several of the papers from the 'Leather Bound' pad, the 'Vintage Emporium' pad and some gold mirror card, I die cut all the elements I needed and paper pieced them in place. To give more dimension I die cut 3 more 'backs' and glued them together to the back of the heart front, and adhered the whole thing to the card front. To finish the card, I added gold adhesive pearls to complete the look. 

Other Things I Used: 
6” x 6” White Scalloped Card Blank, 'Triple Step Blooming Heart' Die Set (Concord & 9th), Corner Rounder, White Card, Gold Acrylic Paint, Black Hybrid Ink, Double Sided Tape, Glue

Or why not join us on social media at  'We Love Lili Of the Valley' Facebook Group run by the Design Team, the official Lili Of The Valley Facebook page and on Instagram.  We'd loved to see you.

Please Note - I am part of the Lili Of The Valley's Design Team and I receive their lovely images to play with and share with you; I do not receive any monetary reimbursement for my samples, however on occasion I receive a free stamp set as a thank you gesture for my advertisements or participation. I do, what I do for fun and relaxation. Thank you. x

Thank you so much for dropping by, and please don't forget to say hi :)  I'll be back soon with more sneaky peeks of the fabulous new LOTV Love stamps. TTFN

Hugs
