Paper Couture...

"Fashions fade, style is eternal" ~ Yves Saint Laurent

Good morning everyone...

Hope you've all had a wonderful week. It's been another busy one here and the weekend, well...that looks like it could be more of the same. I'm surrounded by piles of paper, ink and every tool under the sun and if you need me, I'm buried under it all ~ somewhere...

As the Craftwork Cards fans out there know, the wonderful Julie Hickey was gracing our TV screens yesterday with the stunning Paper Couture collection, (if you like the look of what you see, then it's still available to buy, HERE), together with a couple of new paper pads, Harbour Boulevard and Al Fresco, which are now available direct from Craftwork Cards themselves. The studio looked absolutely amazing with all the wonderful samples from the Design Team and I think you can tell how much we all enjoyed using every collection with the amount of samples that were made.

But for me, I just loved Paper Couture and below is a card that I created for the inspiration sheets, featuring mine and many more projects, that you receive with the kit. I'm not going to tell you how I made it, for that you'll need to buy the kit...lol, but I wanted to just show you all the detail and as always, I hope you love what I've made!




Lots of gorgeous die cut detail using the papers!


I even used the papers to decorate the inside of the card!
So, that's it from me for today and thank you so much for stopping by today. I really appreciate all your visits and wanted to say a big hello to all my new followers...thank you for joining my blog and hope you'll enjoy the ride!

Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend and hopefully, the sun will shine bright where you are!!
See you next week...love Emma xx

Needle & Thread


Evening friends...
Today, I am saying goodbye to the Merly Impressions DT. I've had a wonderful time as part of this team and I wish the new team the best of luck in the future but there's one person I really want to say a very big thank you to, and that's Chrissy ~ thank you for all your support throughout the 18 months I have worked alongside you and I know that I will be working with Kaisercraft goodies in the future and I already have three wonderful projects to be featured in the future issues of Making Cards Magazine!
So, as I say farewell to move onto new and exciting projects...here is my last card and in my opinion, I think I saved the best until last... As always, I hope you like it!
You can click HERE to be whisked over to the Merly Impressions blog to see how I made this card and what I used.
The mannequin is a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Alterations die and that HUGE flower is die cut from chiffon material, using the Tattered Florals die. I thought I'd make a statement on this card and I just love how it turned out!!

So, that's it from me for today and I'm now going to head to the kitchen, see what's in those cupboards of mine and make dinner!
See you all very soon with another creation from Chez Williams'
Bye for now...love Emma xxx

Classy and Fabulous

Good morning friends...hope you all had a lovely weekend! At the moment, these weeks are going by so fast and the weekends seems to disappear in a flash, I only blinked and it was Sunday night!!

Anyway, I've just popped on to share another card using those fabulous papers from the Grace Taylor paper pad, available at QVC. I hope you like it...
Once again, I kept the overall look of the card in the style of shabby chic, adding some die cuts, paper rolls and then stamped one of my favourite quotes from Coco Chanel. To be honest, I think I should've lived in the 1940's or 1950's. I just love everything about that era...for me, this era epitomizes how a woman should be ~ classy and fabulous and do it all with style!!

Right, time for me to go...at the moment, my mojo has gone astray and it doesn't want to be found!! So, wish me luck in looking for it because I have deadlines to meet and nothing to show for them yet!!
Eek...

I'll be round to see all your creations, later today!!

Bye for now and see you soon!
Love Emma xxx
