 close ups of my project with TIPS & TRICKS:


the background is created from three different papers - BOOKS and LIBRARY CARD pattern papers, and VANILLA cardstock. 

TIP! before adhering the papers together, emboss the middle strip with ORNATE FLOURISH PLATE embossing folder and ruffle the outer edges of the different papers with paper distresser.



for the 12" stripes i used BOOK COVERS foil paper12″ STICKER sheet and CREAM LACE. once everything was on its place, i sprinkled ANTIQUE GOLD and WHITE mist on top.

TIP! adding different materials and inking the edges of your die cuts, will give more depth to your project!






i don’t know if you’ve seen them, but KAISERCRAFT has released amazing COLOURING books and wonderful KAISERCOLOUR gel pens to match them. i have MYSTIC TREASURES at home and I can tell you that the imaged are whimsical and cute and there is something for everybody! the paper is thick and even if you apply three layers of colour, which I did, it won’t leak through. also, the binding of the book is very strong! i had to put a lot of effort into taking the page with the dragonflies out…

TIP! mix a few gel pens together to match the colours of the pattern paper.




TIP! outline the most important word stickers with white gel pen to draw the viewers attention to them!



i hope you enjoyed today's post!

have a lovely week!

hugs 'n smiles,
