Docrafts Christmas in July 2015

I hope you have something nice planned for your weekend. I do, I'm off to The Range in Carmarthen today to demonstrate some of the new Docrafts goodies. I shall be in store from 10am until 4pm and would love to see you if you're nearby. 

I showed you a couple of the latest Docrafts collections yesterday and today I have some Christmas samples. The items in bold are the new products.

The Create Christmas range has had new products added for you to make cards, decorations and presents for Christmas.

Here I have used a jute stocking on this contemporary card. The stocking is open at the top and is perfect for a secret message. I punched some snowflakes from the silver glitter paper and added buttons from the Traditional Christmas colours bag. The black ribbon is from Anita's.

This card is made from one of the textured 5"x 7" card blanks which I've matted and layered with white card and a cut up green card blank. I've created the background with some of the mini snowflake stamps. I've used one of the gift tag stamps to create the topper. I've added red glitter paper cut in to ribbons, a glittered snowflake sticker, a die-cut sentiment and a Christmas bow. 

I've teamed one of the gift tag stamps with some glittered snowflake stickers for this card. The holly border is an X-cut punch and the silver ribbon is from Anita's.

This is another red card blank with a layer of Christmas tissue paper. I used a die from the Christmas Paper Cut Baubles set for the topper. The ribbon is from Anita's.

I've used two of the Christmas Paper Cut Baubles die-cuts on an embossed background. The centre bauble is a Create Christmas Wooden Shape that I've heat embossed in gold. The ribbons are from Anita's.

There are some fabulous new A4 Foiled Decoupage sheets from Anita's with a range of Christmas images from traditional to contemporary. I've used the Wreaths set to make this card and teamed it up with a Bellissima Christmas paper and the holly border punch.
I have a few more Christmas samples and will show those over the next weeks. Make sure you check out your local stockist to get your hands on these new seasonal goodies.
I shall be uploading my new samples to my Docrafts gallery tomorrow. The link is on the right.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Docrafts Demonstration March 2015

I've had a very busy week playing with some new Docraft's goodies. I had two collections and some foiled decoupage to work with and the artwork and papers are all wonderful. I also had a couple of lovely new embossing folders to work with.

Yesterday I had a demo at The Range in Carmarthen which proved very popular. Here are some of the samples that I made.

This first collection is Nature's Gallery. It's based on botanical and bird art illustrations and has an authentic vintage look.

There are decoupaged birds, ribbons and buttons in the collection.

Collaged images of birds, plants and butterflies feature heavily. 

And there are plenty of lovely floral images and pretty papers.

The second new release is the popular Craft Collection in pastels.

There are fabric effect papers, memory pockets and fabulous matching trims.

The cross stitch patterns, gingham and toppers are perfect with Kraft card.

The range also includes Urban stamps of sentiments, cross stitch and borders.

I discovered that the design of the new 6"x 6" Lace Circle embossing folder is a perfect fit for an X-cut Scalloped Circle die. Ideal for quick, pretty cards.

There are new foiled die-cut decoupage designs from Anita with two sets on each A4 sheet.

There is everything from cute kittens to pretty Spring images and much more.

I hope I've inspired you to head out to your local Docrafts stockist. If you'd like to see more of my samples created for Docrafts please click on the link to my online gallery in the sidebar.
