Hi Everyone. Lisa here. Today I have some pretty cards to share made using an absolutely gorgeous range from Authentique called 'Delightful'.

This range is very pretty & whimsical at least that's my take on it! Christine recently made some fabulous Easter cards with this range & it would also be great for any spring themed projects. Now that's a versatile range!


My first card is a Centre step card, so easy to make! Decorated with lots of layers of patterned paper from the range, pieces from the sticker sheet, punched borders, flowers, ink, string & bling.



Next up is the ever reliable Easel card, great for when you just want something a bit fancier than your standard card. Decorated with lots of layers of patterned paper from the range, pieces from the sticker sheet, punched borders, flowers, ink, ribbon, string & bling.


A close up on a different angle, so you can see the embellishing.



I couldn't resist making some sweet little tags with some of my leftovers! So quick & easy and great to add to your stash when giving just a little something.
I die cut some layered hearts using my cuttlebug. I inked the edges for definition, added ribbon string & bling.

Make sure you check out the fabulous range of ribbons we have in store,the beautiful pink & green snippetes you can see on my cards today are Green Tara ribbons.

Have a great day!

Hi Everyone. Lisa here. Today I have a sweet Little mini album to share. I have used Authentiques' fabulous 'Genuine' range.
For those of you in NZ I have sent this mini to Liz to display in store, so if your in the shop check it out!


This is the album all closed up neatly with a co-ordinating ribbon that is attached to the mini. Decorated with some bling.


When open the album has 8 pockets for tags or secret messages.


Luggage tags which I purchased from my local newsagents fit perfectly in to the pockets. You could certainly make your own. I die cut some hearts for extra tags & embellishing.


I had fun experimenting with my stamps on this project. I used white ink which comes up really well. The stamp set I used was Kaisercraft 'Tigerlilly'  - such a great set of butterflies & a flourish.


I embellished with scraps of paper, stickers from the sticker sheet, bling, seam binding & I even cut some quotes & the title 'Authentique' from the bar code section of the patterned paper!

This is such a quick and easy mini to make. You only require one sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper!

I don't have a tutorial for this mini, but you can find plenty of tutorials online just search for mini tag album using 12 x12 paper. You'll be amazed what great ideas you can find when you start looking.


Have a great day!

Hi Everyone. Lisa here. This month at Artfull Crafts 'Authentique' is taking Centre Stage. WOW - what fabulous paper, the quality is amazing!
Today I have a layout & decorated gift bag to share using the 'Genuine' range lots of blues paired with yellow in this range. It reminds me of denim in fact.The range is great for feminine or masculine projects, due to the varying prints.


The colours & style of this layout are very different than my usual style. It was fun to do something completely different - to challenge myself. I love this photo of my son with our cat. Blue & yellow are apparently the 'in' colours this year...however I can find yellow hard to work with (I'll have to work on that..lol). So, I put some red in the mix & this is what I came up with. A bit of stamping, doodling, layering & embellishing. My journalling is hidden on the little note peeking out from the top of the photo.


Well, by now you probably know that I have to make something else whilst I have a range of goodies out. So this time I decided it would be fun to decorate a plain Kraft gift bag. A few layers - of punched edged papers, some ribbon,string & bling & your done.

Make sure you check out the full range in the shop. The sticker sheets that are in the range are a fabulous way to get those projects done quickly!

Have a great day.

Lisa
