Love Letters From Jane

Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing a card made with the beautiful new Love Letters collection from Relatively Thoughtful, and a tutorial from Paul Lang-Ford (Papercrafting with Paul)

The tutorial is available for everyone to watch for free, so I'm not going to go into how this was made, except to say that it's very clever, and fits perfectly into a 6x6 envelope.

I've cut and matted my layers from the Love Letters papers. The two 4x3s are from the Stamperia Romance Forever 8x8 collection that Sally has in the store.

I've also die-cut a sentiment for one of the panels.

And here it is! It stands up beautifully and then folds perfectly to fit the envelope. Paul really is a genius with his card theory and measurements.

These papers are just so pretty!

And the Romance Forever collection co-ordinates perfectly.

I've added a few pearls and gems for decoration.

And of course, a bit of stitching just to finish it all off.

As always, the collection is available in both A4 papers, and a digital download.

Here's Alice Again

Good morning, a very happy Sunday. I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We took our decorations down yesterday, and the house looks really bare now. It also means that I have to dust again, I can't just hide it all behind the cards lol.

I've made some clusters for my first project of the year for Relatively Thoughtful. Until a couple of months ago I didn't know what clusters were, but they are handy for adding to mini albums, either for journaling, or just something pretty to look at.
