Country View Crafts Challenges - Leaves

How can it be September already!

Jane has chosen 'Leaves' for the challenge this month.  Here is my first project:

This was a very simple, yet effective card to create.  The products I have used are:

Green Mirri card

Black paint

Lisa Horton Crafts Fern 3D embossing folder

Lisa Horton Crafts Banner Sentiments and dies

See, I told you it was simple!  

Those embossing folders are so deep that you really need little to crate a great looking project.  Check out the rest of the range here.

Thank you for joining me today.  Pop over to the Challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the design team and to join in with the 'Leaves' challenge.

Thanks for joining me.

Happy crafting!

Country View Crafts Challenges - Monochromatic

Happy August,

This month's challenge is 'Monochromatic' chosen by Debs.  Here is my first project for the month:

I rarely create a project using just dies but the new dies from Lisa Horton Crafts makes it very easy to achieve fabulous results.

I have used:

Mirror and Glitter card from my stash

Lisa Horton Crafts Diagonal Square Background Die 

Lisa Horton Crafts Funky Flowers Die set

Lisa Horton Crafts Squiggled Sentiment Dies

I was concerned that sticking to a monochromatic colour scheme at first, but I love my end result.

I hope you have enjoyed joining me today and I hope that I have inspired you to join in with the challenge.  Pop over to the Challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the design team.  

Happy crafting!

New Craft Brand Launch

Good morning all,

Today we see the launch of a brand new Brand to the crafty world, though through an artist we love.

Today, Lisa Horton launches her new brand, Lisa Horton Crafts.  You can see Lisa on Create and Craft at 1pm and 6pm.  What a very exciting day it is.

As a member of Lisa's design team I have been very privileged to see Lisa's new products - and everyone is in for a treat.

Here are some of the projects that I have created for the launch.

 

This card was created using Lisa's fabulous In The Loop Stamps and Co-ordinating Edge Cutz dies.

The papers are from Lisa's Capri collection.  These are based on Lisa's own background art.

This is another simple design using the same die and papers, this time teamed with an embossed sentiment.

Here, I have used the butterfly flourish edge cuts die and layered it over a stencil design that has been embossed using texture paste.

I have to say, I am a little bit in love with this simple background!

So there we are.  Three of the makes that I created for the launch.

I have more to show over the next couple of days.

Thanks for joining me today.

Do pop over to the Crafting With Lisa Horton Facebook group and see the wonderful projects over there.  And lastly, wishing Lisa every success in her launch today.

Happy crafting!
