Card Collections
The aim with card collections is to see if I can create 6 cards from one sheet of 30 cm square (12 x 12 ") decorative paper & a few scraps & peel offs etc.
All of these projects are my own creations. Please make and sell as many as you wish, but please do not sell the project sheets themselves - I give them to you freely, so please respect my wishes and do the same.

Indian Summer Card Collection -
Final Flourish
Here is a paper I have created for you as a substitute - if you can't get your hands on the original - you'll need to print two sheets to complete the entire collection.
This image isn't wonerful I am afraid,
but the actual download is crisp, clear & beautiful!

Paris Nights Collection - Ooh La La!
Nothing too difficult here!
Paris Nights Collection - Decadence
A pretty straight forward project without the need of gadgets - unless you want to of course!
You could easily zing this up a bit with a few die cut panels etc.
Paris Nights Collection - Cabaret
You can easily replace the central die cut circle, with a regular circle, or even a small doily - & you could use any paper flowers instead of these die cut ones. just use the same card as you use for the base.
If you are using the substitute paper below & printed off two sheets, you will have enough to put a matching panel inside this card - though not if you are using the 30cm (12") square original paper.
Paris Nights Collection - Amour
You will need a deep edge punch to create this one(or a precut card), if you don't have one ask a friend - it really does make the difference. But you could use any rectangular panel to replace the scroll.
Paris Nights Collection - Fleur
I have done step by step photographs on making the paper flowers & they are included in the project sheet.

Raspberry Chocolate Card Collection -
Summer Romance
Here I used paper clay leaves that I coloured with cosmic shimmer paints. You could use silk or paper ones. You could also use large paper flowers instead of these silk ones too!
Raspberry Chocolate Card Collection -
Oriental Sunrise
Here is the circle we cut from another card in the collection. Again, you could easily replace the embossed vellum with something of your own. to make this project work. (& I personally HATE the Thank You peel off greeting here - I am sure you could find something nicer)?
Raspberry Chocolate Card Collection -
Hot Summer Night
Any picture that is both in keeping with the theme & the right size will work as the focal point on this project.
Raspberry Chocolate Card Collection -
Oriental Sunset
You could easily replace the silk flowers with paper ones & the embossed vellum with another decorative paper or vellum of your choice. But keep the cut out circle you cut from the front - you will need it for another card in the collection!
Raspberry Chocolate Card Collection - Taj Mahal
You will need some kind of decorative punch for this card - this one came from Do Crafts, & I see they have a new range of them out now - so there is a wide range to choose from.
Raspberry Chocolate Card Collection -
Long Hot Summer
You could easily replace the silk flower arrangement with paper ones & ink the edges of the paper, if you don't have a heat gun & embossing powders. Any kind of butterfly - even a peel off mounted on scrap acetate & cut around - would be fine. Re-colour a brad with permanent markers if you need to.
----------------------
Cafe Latte Card Collection - Twin Butterflies
You could use peel off butterflies - some mounted on acetate in place of these die cut ones, & a regular rectangle of card rather than this embossed on at the base of the card.
Cafe Latte Card Collection - Framed Butterfly
You could use any embossed paper as the central layer & substitute the frame for another rectangular piece of embossed caed & then simply add a circle of card on top of that with the butterfy attached to it. This will give you almost the same effect.
Cafe Latte Card Collection - Corsage
There isn't anything on this card that you can't substitute if you don't have an embossing machine. Any embossed card would do for the inside, so long as it blended in with your chosen paper. The greeting panel on the bottom could just as easily be a piece of card - maybe layered up on another piece. The same goes for the circle the paper rose is attached to.
Cafe Latte Card Collection - Paper Rose
(Wish I had rolled that corner down a bit & then put the paper rose onto the actual card)!
Again, you can easily use peel off butterflies as a substitute to the die cut ones, just mount the top one onto acetate & then trim out so you can shape the wings.
Cafe Latte Card Collection - Flora & Fauna
You could easily recreate the frame for this card, simply cut out a circle from a piece of card & use corner punches or peel offs to decorate. As below: you can use mounted peel offs for the butterflies & just punched out flowers.
Cafe Latte Card Collection - Cameo
If you don't have glittery butterflies, simply use butterfly peel offs mounted to acetate & trimmed out for the same effect. For the 'cameo' you could use any number of things, from an image to a piece of parchment work. For the half circle frames - you could cut out a hollow frame from a yogurt lid & use an embossing tool to decorate it or simply add peel offs!
