Lynne's A Taste Of Summer

A Taste of Summer

Lynne here bringing you my take on "A Taste of Summer",
 choosing from the wonderful collection,
lovely colours and elements,
to make my card.
Firstly I printed 3 different papers and the lovely frame.
I cut out the frame and backed with one of the papers,
I then used 2 papers to print back to back
to create my centre piece.
I cut 5inch square, folded four corners into 
centre to make smaller square then folded tip
 outwards creating this design.
I then printed some elements and placed them on card.
Well here it is - hope you enjoy my card.

Till next time - Have Fun Crafting!

Lynne

“Grandpa’s Garden”

Hi all, it's my inspiration day at
Dragons Lair Designs

I'm using...

A Taste of Summer Kit

Here is my project

My grandfather was a farmer and when he retired and built his house in "town" he couldn't quite leave the farm behind. He tended the town garden beds and he had a huge flower garden as well as a vegetable garden. You can leave the farm but I guess the farm doesn't quite leave you.

I hope my card has inspired you to get crafty. Now that you have had a look at this inspiration blog post why don't you visit some of the other areas in the Dragons Lair Designs family of sites. I thank you for visiting!

Till next time - Have Fun Crafting!

Sunny Afternoon in the Fall


Hi All, it's my inspiration day at 

 Dragons Lair Designs

 I've used the fun kit....
A Taste of Summer


Here is my project

Our dog Holly LOVES being outside in the summer. She loves rolling in the grass, so when her first Fall arrived, she was a little hyperactive when she found out that leaves.....fly!  I prefer the Summer Holly where she is always safely on the ground and rolling in the grass. 

I hope my card has inspired you to get crafty. Now that you have had a look at this inspiration blog post why don't you visit some of the other areas in the Dragons Lair Designs family of sites. I thank you for visiting!

Till next time - Have Fun Crafting!

Inspiration by Gwyneth - June 2016 - A Taste of Summer

Good Morning Everybody!

Hi everybody.

For our June posts every Dragons Lair Designs Inspiration Blog Design Team member will be working with the wonderful new collection "A Taste of Summer" that was launched in the Dragons Lair Designs Store on the 1st.

On my own blog on the 1st I did a launch day extra using the new collection.  For that I did a quite brightly coloured, digital, scrapbook layout.  So for my post today I decided to try and inspire you with items from the collection used in quite a different way.

I decided to use a limited number of items from the collection, together with cardstock, an embossing folder and some dies to make an engagement card and a sympathy card.



These are what I used:

Stamping Dragon Designs Item:
Items from the "A Taste of Summer" collection available - here - in the store.

Consumables:
250gsm Super Smooth A4 white cardstock; Tonic Funky Glue; Pinflair Glue Gel; Fingerlift Tape
Equipment:
Scissors; Craft Knife; Baby Blue; Hougie Board; My Craft Studio Elite Software; Assortment of Tattered Lace Dies; Tattered Lace Border Embossing Folder; Baby Blue Die Cutter

Method:

I used my Hougie Board to measure and score 2 x base cards of near enough 6" square, using my scissors to cut off the extra.

I printed out two of the square panels from the collection at 6" square and cut these out and stuck the bright one to the front of one of the cards using fingerlift tape.

I'd bought a small Baby Blue cutting machine when it was on offer so that my youngest nephews could have it to craft when they wanted to, but I wanted to show a way that by playing around the smaller machines could be used to decorate larger pieces.

For the second card I took the 2nd size down of some nesting dies and drew around the outside of it in the centre of the bluey/grey panel and cut it out roughly using a craft knife.  I then put the die on this cut out piece and put it through the Baby Blue to cut it properly.  I cut out the largest of the nesting dies from a piece of the white cardstock.  Using fingerlift tape I stuck the gutted piece of cardstock onto the front of the card, placed the white mat to cover the hole cut in the centre then put the piece cut from the centre on top.  Of course I could have printed out the panel the 2nd time and just cut a piece to fit in the Baby Blue, not used the round about method to gut the larger panel without destroying it, but remember I'm trying to show round about ways of doing larger projects with smaller die cutting machines.

I used the My Craft Studio software simply to place on two different types of flowers from the collection, resizing and copying them numberous times, as well as the hearts element from the collection, until I had a page full of flowers and hearts.  This page I then simply printed out onto the same cardstock I'd used for everything else.  I cut these out as well.

I took some more of the white cardstock and cut out a panel 1cm smaller than the card front.  This I cut into strips, cutting 1cm from the edge of the central panel.  I put one panel through the Baby Blue in an embossing folder, one with a heart die at the top and another with a melded heart die on it.  These three were then stuck to the card front, spaced out so that the background panel could be seen around and through them, using funky glue.

I used more Tattered Lace dies to cut out the praying hands, the greetings, one of them twice, and the flourish.  I used a toneing alcohol marker to colour in one of the greetings and used more funky glue to stick it behind the uncoloured one to create a shaddow.

I then used funky glue to attach flourish, praying hands, hearts and greetings to the front of the cards, and used glue gel to attach the flowers.


 Llongyfarchiadau is Welsh for Congratulations.  I think hearts and flowers from the collection make a nice embelishment on an engagement card.


Meddwl Amdanat is Welsh for Thinking Of You, So I wnated to keep this card quite simple and subdued for this sympathy card.

- o O o -
And that is it from me for today.
Please keep coming back regularly to look at new posts as, over the next few weeks, you'll find various "Inspiration by ..." posts appear on this "Dragons Lair Designs Inspiration Blog", as well as other posts by different Design Team members.  I'll be back with more posts over the coming months as well, so keep an eye out for those.

Till next time - Have Fun Crafting!

A Taste of Summer - 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 -
"A Taste of Summer" 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
on everything from the collection for a limited period from the 1st to 14th June.


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
A couple of days ago I teased you with a snippet of a layout I'd made using this new collection.

Well, today I'd like to show you the whole creation.



Susan
 During the last few days Susan has shown you this photo with June at an angle - sneaky Susan!
But today she's giving you a better look at June's page in her calendar made using this new collection



Jacqui
Jacqui must really like this collection, A Lot!  Because she's already given you three different digi-scrapbook layouts as sneeky peaks before the launch.  If you've missed them here they are.
The 1st

The 2nd



Diane
Diane teased you with one card she'd made using this collection a few days ago.

But she'd actually made three cards prior to the launch, and here are the other two.



Lynne
A lovely card made by Lynne using elements from the collection.



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!
