Docrafts January Projects

I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned. I will be be wedding dress shopping with one of my daughters as she is getting married later this year.  As usual, this week has flown by. I have been kept very busy with some exciting new projects. I will be able to  share some of them with you next week. In the meantime I thought I'd show you some more of the Docrafts samples I have made for the latest collections. I have picked out three projects.


I transformed an old chocolate box with some of the gorgeous self-adhesive fabric. I then used elements from the Sew Lovely collection to embellish it. 


I added lace and ribbon from the Parisienne Blue Capsule collection. Now I just have to decide what to put in the box. Maybe more chocolates?


Any of you who managed to get the new Goody Bag will have the handy diary. I again used the self-adhesive fabric to cover my diary and then decorated it with a canvas heart, a strip of  Madame Peyraud lace and items from the Sew Lovely range. A totally different look with just a few bits.


There is a fabulous sheet of tissue paper in the Madame Peyraud collection. It's a black on white collage of wonderful vintage adverts and text. I cut a strip and melted it around a plain candle. This idea is brilliant for unique presents.


I do hope you've treated yourselves to some of the new collections. There are so many lovely elements in each and they are easily mixed and matched as you can see from my samples.
I'll be back next week with some cards I've been working on. Enjoy your weekend x

  1. Very impressive, Andree Andree! They're all ok and that...but I'm seriously disappointed that you didn't give me any of the chocolates! Very remiss of you, so I think you need to pack it with more choccies (I like milk ones...truffles, pralines, nuts) and send it to me and then I might leave a proper comment! :o)

    They're all fab. Really loving the diary and candle...and EMPTY chocolate box!

  13. Your cards are both colourful, bold and gorgeous with lots of elements and embellishments. The papers are beautiful.
    The candle is elegant and very expensive looking, something you would spend a fortune on in a shop.
