Dragons Lair Designs Butterfly Garden...

Welcome to my first post as a new Inspiration DT member! I am going to share my layout using the wonderful Butterfly Garden collection.

Gardening with a Puppy

I love this new collection as the colors are perfect for using with little boy layouts. There are lots of great single elements that give you quite a few choices in what you want to create!  The Butterfly Garden collection will be available in the Dragons Lair Designs shop! Thanks for stopping by, swing by my blog for lots more inspiration for your projects!


Till next time - Have Fun Crafting!

Buy, download, then either work with the items digitally, start digitally then print out and complete your crafting as a hybrid project, or print straight out and do your usual papercrafting.

Inspiration by Gwyneth - May 2016 - Butterfly Garden

Good Morning Everybody!

Hi everybody.

For our May posts every Dragons Lair Designs Inspiration Blog Design Team member will be working with the wonderful new collection "Butterfly Garden" that was launched in the Dragons Lair Designs Store on the 1st.

I decided to go for a home decor item this time.

And this is what I came up with::


These are what I used:

Stamping Dragon Designs Item:
Items from the "Butterfly Garden" collection available - here - in the store.


Consumables:
Hunkydory Foiled Frame; 250gsm Super Smooth white paper;  Assorted Nuvo Embelishment Mousse; Tonic Funky Glue Pen; Pinflair Glue Gel;
Equipment:
Scissors; My Craft Studio Elite Software

Method:

I took items from the collection into the My Craft Studio software and re-sized and copied as I wanted.  I also added wording to the "plant label" element.

 Pili-pala, Iâr fach yr haf, and Gloyn byw, are all Welsh names for Butterflies.

I printed everything out and cut out the label, butterflies, background, etc.

I then tore pieces from two of the plainer backgrounds and made spirals before folding and twirling into torn paper roses.  Some of the same background was torn into a panel and I went over the edge with the Tonic moose before sticking it to the background panel.  I used two different colours of the Tonic mousse on the torn edges of the roses, and the another colour on the foiled frame.


Putting the matted background panel inside the back of the pre-scored frame I folded up the box frame and stuck the foiled frame on top.

I then used glue gel to stick the flowers and butterflies within the frame and the label and one small butterfly on the edge of the frame.
I hope you like what I came up with.

Butterfly Garden - New Digital Download Collection Launch At Dragons Lair Designs

Some of the design team members from this "Dragons Lair Designs Inspiration Blog", and our sister blog "Dragons Lair Designs Challenge Blog", have already been teasing you with a few creations they've made using the latest new collection from Dragons Lair Designs - even before it was available in the online store!
Aren't we a naughty lot of DT members? LOL!


Well - the launch day has arrived!-
And everybody can now get their hands on the new -
"Butterfly Garden" Collection
Here!

All the DT members who've had a chance to play with it before the launch agree that it's a fab collection, and that it can be used for all sorts of crafting. Whether you are into scrapbooking, cardmaking, or other forms of papercrafting, it has lots to offer.
And because it comes in a digital format, that you download as soon as you've bought it, you can print and start crafting immediately, or you could do some digital or hybrid crafting with it.

There's even a

40% Discount

on everything from the collection for a limited period from the 1st to 14th May.


And if you choose to buy the two packs that form the main collection together, as one item, you will get an extra few items completely free (ones that are not available any other way.)


And if you read to the end of this post you will find a link to get another part of the collection completely Free!
---

If you've missed seeing any of the "Sneaky Peaks" around the online crafting world over the last week or so then have a look at them now - I'm sure that they will inspire you to get crafting with the new collection.  There are also a few items you won't have seen, so something new to inspire you even if you have seen all the "sneaky peaks" and "teasers".

Gwyneth
With the title "Butterfly Garden" I decided to go through some old photos of our garden and chose three from August 2003 for a simple digital layout as a teaser before the launch.

I'm also going to give you a sneaky peak today of part of something I've got to show you on this DLD Inspiration Blog tomorrow.  Can you work out what I've made?


Jacqui
Jacqui has made great use of different items from the collection for the sneaky peak she gave on the 25th.

In fact, Jacqui has been really busy with her digital scrapbook layouts and gave everybody another sneaky peak on the 27th.

And yet another sneaky peak on the 29th.


Diane
Diane teased everybody with this lovely creation that used Hoppy Frog - My Prince as well as elements from the new collection.

And also gave you a peak of some of the elements from the collection on this card.


And for the launch Diane has made this lovely card.


Nan
A lovely choice of a quote from Nan, presented in a lovely way.


Lynne
A lovely "flower pot" card where the butterflies come out for greetings to be written on them.



As you can see, this is a wonderful digital collection that works well for all sorts of crafting, not just digital crafting.

I think that the stunning items made by the Design Team members show the versatility of this collection, so don't miss out on getting it at the launch discounted price and go to the store now to make your choices and get what you'd like.

Freebie!

 As I said near the begining of this post - we have a freebie exclusively for readers of this blog - a quick page layout -


- which you can download by clicking - Here! - it comes as a zipped up file with ToUs etc.

Enjoy Crafting!
