Authentique - Accomplished Collection

How quickly time flies when you get lost in being a Woman and all the different hats that come along with it, Mom, Wife, Chef, Gardener, Interior Decorator, .......and the list goes on, never mind your actual career! Needless to say, I have yet again lost track of time but here I am to share Authentique's Accomplished Collection!

This collection was launched late last year and I 'fell in love' with it's boldness,substance and timeless essence. My personal stash of this range is about 80 sheets, it is so versatile.  I have used it for cards, gift bags, gift boxes, Heritage, Family, Birthday and Graduation Scrapbooking and just wanted to share above and below some of the things that I created.

I hope that you will be inspired by this and if you would like to get your hands on this range, please visit my website: 'Kits Online' and take a peak under 'Paper Collections', where you will find some stash! http://www.kitsonline.co.za

Until next time xoxo

Super Quick and Easy Card Design

                            with the Envelope Punch Board

This amazing tool is quite difficult to get your hands on as it sells out as soon it hits the shelf!  It not only punches  envelope templates, but also makes bows, boxes, tags, file folders and more. I have used this tool to make the bow on this card and for those of you who have the tool and are punching bows, the measurements for the bow on this card is as follows: for the bottom(tail of the bow) 10cm X 4cm punched at 5 cm on either side and the loop of the bow is 15cm X 4cm punched at 7.5cm on either side. I have used a flattened bottle top to hold the rose and pin.  This card looks stunning in black and white and bling for a 21st card and in ivory and cream for a wedding card.

I have used Authentique's Flourish Range! Thank you Authentique for your inspirational paper designs!

3 Quick and Easy Card Designs

Quick and Easy is probably my middle name and as my list of chores are never ending, I always have to seek out the BEST EFFECT in THE SHORTEST TIME!  I know that all the other Busy Bees out there are on my page, so looking through my stash of last year's paper ranges I thought that you might be keen to MIX it UP midweek with  Authentique's CHERISH and LOVELY ranges, 2 of my old favourites!

All the scalloped circles and heart cuts are 3-D  in order to add quick and easy Dimension and Harmony to these GIRLY CARD DESIGNS.

HAPPI CARD CRAFTING!

       

ScrapBooking with Authentique

Whenever I see and touch Authentique's Paper Ranges I think of Joan River's FASHION POLICE: " Gotta Have it? or Make it Stop?" and WE SIMPLY GOTTA HAVE AUTHENTIQUE!  Their sheer quality and absolutely versatility of design inspire me to want to use this product again and again.

I have used the Authentique Strong range below as well as the Ribbons and Rosettes, George and Serenade Cricut cartridges to Scrap this layout of my Precious younger son.  I hope that you find some creative time in your busy lives to Scrap photos of your loved ones, those that make the world a better place to be.

 

With the off-cuts, I scrapped these two Quick and Easy Cards, just in time for Fathers Day!
