Belle Papier {pretty paper}

Etsy is a wonderful place to shop. It’s full of crafting supplies and better yet, handmade creations that will inspire you and be amazed at all the creativity these artisans and crafters have.
Some of you may know that I have an Etsy store. Because the last few years have been a little crazy, I put it on hold for almost two years. In the meantime, I’ve created quite a stash of handmade cards and projects. So many that I could never use them all up myself.

Now seems like the perfect time to jump back in and get Belle Etsy up and running again. I’ve been busy listing and here’s a peek at a few of the designs you can find there. I’d love for you to pop by and have a peak!

If you’re interested in my creations, stop back regularly as I have a ton of cards still to list. An easy link is at the top of my right sidebar and you can like the etsy shop on Facebook here.

Thanks so much for your support!

It’s Friday, the end of the week, and the perfect day for wrapping up my designs for the Card Kitchen.

Most of my projects are heavy on the embellishments but this kit and all it’s fun paper elements, made me look at paper and stickers in a new way. For the above card, I created my own floral embellishments by handcutting some rolled paper roses to accent some sweet diecut windows.

My second card has a finished inside panel as well. The sentiment starts on the front and continues inside the card. It was created by cutting up a journaling card.

Check out the full cards here. Thanks so much to Card Kitchen for asking me to guest design for them. I had a blast and the kit was fabulous!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Two more card projects have been cooked up for the card kitchen. These two designs focus on the great die cut embellishments that are part of April’s kit.

I love sponging the edges of die cuts with some soft subtle ink like my favourite Brushed Corduroy Distress ink. It’s one ink that I never put away as I hardly ever make a card without it.

I even sponged the edges of the word sticker before adhering it.

For the full versions of these cards, stop by the Card Kitchen Blog.

Take care!

Back in the Card Kitchen today with two more card designs. These two projects are all about pattern and playing with the print of the papers.

This first card was inspired by the grey grid paper. It makes a great background to alter and by adding 1 inch squares, you get a fun dimensional layout.

The second card plays around with the fun green chevron print. Cutting it apart makes for some interesting borders and a peak behind it at the butterfly print.

Check out the full versions of these card design on the Card Kitchen Kit Club blog here.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love guest designing as it gives you the opportunity to try out new things.  It’s always an honour and I’m so excited to be guest designing for the Card Kitchen Kit Club. I’ve been cooking (creating) up a storm with the April kit. I knew it would be fun as the Card Kitchen Kit Club is packed with great Jillibean Soup product which I always adore working with.

April’s kit is full of new Jillibean product and some fun accessories.  I have a lot (8 in total) cards to share this week so pop back each day as I share more fun ideas for this kit.

You can find the full versions of these cards on the Card Kitchen blog here.

Need to purchase the kit? Trust me…you do! Check it out here.

Happy creating!
