SOMETHING A LITTLE EXPLOSIVE!

Hey Lovelies, I am back again today for yet another little surprise post for you all.. 

My beautiful friend Tori Bissell has teamed up with the lovely Theresa and they are releasing their first ever digital release!! How super exciting is that!! I love creating digital content and when I was asked to design for their first ever collection, well, how could I refuse!!

You can jump over to the website and secure your own beautiful collection of Quilted Hearts. The collection is so bright and colourful and absolutely charming.. I love all the different patterns and designs and they really give you that "quilted" look. Absolutely adorable. 

As part of the release today, the girls are doing  a little blog hop around to all the design team members that designed for this project. So make sure you jump around to all the different girls blogs and send them some love. 

Now onto my pretties that I created for this beautiful collection!! I decided that with all these stunning bright papers, they deserved to be on birthday cards and share the love around.. So I decided to play with a few cut files and create some pretty pattern pieced "quilted" cards. 

The first of my cards is this cute little postcard style cupcake card. I purchased all my cut files in the Silhouette Store. Once the cupcake was cut out, I started piecing behind the patterned papers I thought would look extra sweet on the cupcake. After adhering all of those papers on the back I added another piece of white card stock to hide the messiness. 

I decided then that the card was just a little bit plain so I decided to add in some sparkling lights with that beautiful geometric lemon paper. I cut out the diamonds and stuck them around the page with a few gem stones and glitter dots. To finish the look I hand stitched some beautiful light yellow dangles to hold onto the light.. Totally channeling a little bit of my inner Elsie here. 

 My second card was a little bit more detailed and really had that lovely stained glass look to it. My Cameo did all the work cutting it out but when I backed this floral patterned paper behind the cut file, it just screamed stained glass. I absolutely love the effect and added some clear gems to the flourishes to add in that extra glam feel.

I also cut out three hearts. Two out of the pink gingham patterned paper and one out of some gold printed vellum I had in my stash. I layered them all up and then glued them down the middle and fluffed them out to give them some more dimension.
