I've covered a range of goodies from paper packs to toppers of all different sizes, plus fussy cut tags and  embellishments. These are perfect for all your cardmaking, album crafts, collage, scrapbooking, and home  decor projects. This range was requested by one of our lovely members, and I hope you like what I've created as much as I enjoyed making them.

Supplies list


Pre-scored white A5 Card Blank if from Crafters Companion you can find it here: https://amzn.to/3BHZlPf

I printed this onto my favourite printing paper for papers and toppers you can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/3YlVMHg


The loopy rectangle die is a bargain!! It can be found here on amazon: https://amzn.to/3U7Hisg


The fern die is from Spellbinders it can be found here: https://amzn.to/4eEqWQb


The 2 leaf dies at the bottom right of the flower i got as a pre-owned mixed joblot on ebay


The flower can be found here: https://amzn.to/4eGQXy3 - these are so quick and easy to use!! For the price they are fabulous!! I remove the petals from the stem so i can glue them flat to the card. I use 2 layers and offset them just like i do my die cut paper and card flowers then i add a little gem to the centre. I love the pale ones in the pack as well as you can add colour using your ink pads to match them to your project.


The thin ribbon is from my ribbon stash box


Adhesives:

I used my favourite tape pen from Crafters companion to adhere the backing paper to the card blank - https://amzn.to/402uas0 (I love this feature - as a prime member i have a subscription on these so i have tape pens come every month i never have to worry about running out and i don't pay postage. It is super convenient and if you don't need them one month you can just cancel it.


Foam pad tape on a roll - i used this one from docrafts - https://amzn.to/3Y5bMw3


For the embellishments i used my glue gun


Here are a few more creations i made for this collection:



The flowers were created with this little paper punch - https://amzn.to/3YlVMHg


The flower centres have been decorated with pearl micro beads they are from Creative Expressions (sadly the pearl isn't available on amazon at the moment so i couldn't pop a link on for you)


I used liquid pearls as an adhesive to add the micro beads



The outside of the tag was distressed with a navy ink pad - https://amzn.to/4dIB6xH


The kraft card can be found here: https://amzn.to/405Ukds
