Gorgeous New Bella ~ Easel Box....

Hi All
Today I'm sharing some fabulous new Tattered Lace goodies... including dies, an embossing folder set and loads of awesome embellishments! :)

I have made a drawer based easel card from some plain white card stock. Cut some panels for the sides and top from designer paper, then embossed them with the lovely new 'Script' embossing folder. These have then been edged with distress ink. I attached a length of the gorgeous new ribbon across the top of the drawer base before adhering the easel card.

I put together a 'stop' panel (the bit that stops the easel part of the card from falling down flat) and made a double looped bow and stuck it on. To which I added a couple of flat backed pearls and one of the beautiful new resin flowers... I also added one to the front of the drawer.

The new Bella's Body was cut from vanilla card stock, and also edged with distress ink. Bella has some wonderful new clothes and accessories available, of which I used Bella's Short Dress and one of Bella's Hair dies. I've cut one each of the short dresses and layered them....then cut a further 8 of the lacy short dress and made them into a double tiered long skirt back for her. I cut her a matching pair of shoes and gave her a lovely long hairstyle.

With a couple of Rose Corners, cut and distress inked for the easel top, and a parasol for Bella, all she needed were the words...Bella......Gorgeous New Chic Lady in contrasting brown cardstock to finish it all off. The easel card can be folded down and tied with the ribbon x

This...is Tatty Twinkle!!

Hi all :)
Just nipping in with a super quick post as I can hear my bed calling!! :)
I've finally got around to having a quick play with Tatty! Isn't she wonderful? She's so ....tatty...bless her :)  Coloured with Copics...and a brush of sparkle just to make her feel special :)

My new Cinch (book binding machine) from We are Memory Keepers arrived the other day too, so I just had to have a quick play.
I covered/decorated two pieces of mountboard...cut some pages to size ...made the holes and then added the wires. Made a tiny Tatty from shrink plastic as a dangly charm...bound the book and added heaps of colourful ribbon to the wires to finish :) 

                      Look...even her little shoes are tatty...bless her little cotton socks :)
Well...that was my flying visit for today...I must away to my bed. But I'll be back tomorrow with something a little less tatty!! ;) 
Night all xx

Book folding....

Sooo...you go away on holiday...can't take your craft room...but get that urge to play with paper!?!  So did I!! :)

This started out life as a hardback book which was just calling to be altered! :)

I folded all the pages on holiday and when I got back finished it off by inking the edges...stamping and embossing the inside covers and . I thought it kind of looked ballet dressish...so added a Prima wedding stamped lady to the spine and added a ribbon around the 'waist' x

Funky Candy!
