I love the colours in the new Cottage Wall DSP and of course the coordinating stamp set Cottage Garden (available in Clear Mount or Wood Mount), so I had to use them in my creations I’m sharing with you today. Rich Razzleberry is just gorgeous in real life so you will definitely need to order some cardstock, inkpad and ribbon asap and hopefully I’ll entice you on the Cottage Wall DSP and Cottage Garden stamp set too.
My creations were inspired by one of Andrea Walford’s Demo to Demo planners from back in September 2008 using Upsy Daisy. You may have seen this one before.
I only said the inspiration came from this. I love the box for the cards so I altered it to fit Australian sized cards (ours are a little narrower and a little taller) and created 4 cards to go along with it and came up with this.
Aren’t the colours just gorgeous. The more I look at this the more I like it.
I hope that’s what you think too.
Here’s a close up of the box.
I’ve made the main part of the box using Orchid Opulence cardstock and my alterations mean I can get this out of an A4 sheet. For the lid I’ve used some Old Olive textured cardstock. A strip of the new Cottage Wall DSP, some images stamped and cut out from the Cottage Garden stamp set and the verse (also from Cottage Garden) has been punched out using the Wide Oval punch and then I’ve layered it onto one of the lovely new ‘Lots of Tags’ dies.
Now for a closer look at the cards.
If you’d like to make your own set of these I’ll be running this as a Project Class on Thursday April 29th at my house in Lalor Park NSW with both a morning and evening session available. Email me for further details or to book your spot. I’m happy to bring the class to you if you have a group of 6 or more.
