Crafting with Esther

Hey Rosies!  It's Esther from Eagle Craftz, and today I am sharing a quick tip and a Very easy card. When I received my Love Story kit I used my Cameo to cut out the ScrapBerry embellishment page. It makes it much easier than fuzzy cutting.

Isn’t it beautiful!! Well I decided I needed all those pretties at the ready! I used my Cameo however I believe most die cut machines have a similar function. I scanned, traced, and let the machine do the magic.

Once I had all the embellishments cut it was easy to put cards together. I used some of the pretty hearts, the lace, and the stamp set that came with the kit. I added the blue cardstock from my stash. So cool to be able to create completely different looking cards with the same kit.

I finished it up with Nuvo Crystal Drops that also came in the kit. This card has less layers than usual, but I like the simplicity of it. I hope I have inspired you to dust off your Die Cutting Machines, pull out your kit, and make lots of pretty valentines. Don’t forget to share with us. White Rose Crafts Gallery, is a super place to share and inspire many Rosie’s! Join Us!!

Thank you all so much for stopping by.

Create with Kim

Good morning Rosies! Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.

This time I have created a fun mini art journal!

You are going to be seeing me use this little journal over the coming weeks as I create some fun art pages in it using more White Rose Crafts items, I can't wait!

The first step to making this journal is to gather up all my little bits and pieces I have left over from all my other White Rose Crafts projects.  I keep all my scraps in a bin when I am finished a project, and this is such a great way to use them up.

Once I have decided what I am going to use, I stack them on top of each other, remembering not to use too many as I wanted to sew down the centre of the papers on my sewing machine so they would be attached to each other.

Once I sewed all the papers together, I used a couple of pieces of Lemoncraft Yesterday Ephemera for my cover of my little journal. I used black thread on my journal to make it stand out and used a zig zag pattern as well for some fun.

I stacked two of the ephemera pieces together and added some sparkly blue tulle in between the cards for texture.

Once that was done, it was time to work on the cover for the journal. I used some fun material from my stash, and ended up making the journal 5 x 7 inches. This is a great size for a small journal as it can fit inside a purse and you can take it anywhere with you.

Once the cover was complete, I sewed in the paper stack by just doing another stitch down the middle of the paper and cover. Don't forget to back stitch so you have a good locking stitch and your journal won't come apart.

I attached some more of the fabric to the side of the journal for a closure.

Here you can see the inside of the completed journal.

I hope you like my little journal. I will be working on this journal over the next month and creating some art inside it to share with you all! So stay tuned for some fun White Rose Craft art journal pages from me. I have a complete list of the paper scraps I used for my journal below for you. 

I hope you will make one of these fun little journals for yourself with all your White Rose Crafts goodies and scraps!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here.

Where Will Your Dreams Take You?

Good morning Rosies! Kim here today with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.

We are starting off the New Year with a sketch challenge! 

I am using the gorgeous Graphic 45 Princess collection for my card today. I started off with one of the Neenah A2 parchment card and envelopes from the WRC store.

I then layered on lots of pieces from the collection, in the style of the sketch challenge, and edged all the papers with the Distress Ink Vintage Photo from WRC.

I added a fun little wooden crown from my stash and used some of the Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard to give the crown some sparkle!

I hope you will give this fun sketch a try, and check out all the great items in the White Rose Crafts Store!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here!
