BRONWYN EASTLEY DESIGNS

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing my second Paper Rose Design Team Projec t for the month of October.  I've re-visited one of my most popular card designs (from 2020) and have made an Extended Z-Fold Card with Planter Box featuring products from the new Golden Days Collection . Paper Rose Studio is based in Australia but it has a global marketplace. I kinda feel like I need to make a Spring version of this card to balance things out a bit! Anyhow, all products from PRS are gorgeous to work with in my opinion and for my Northern followers, I hope you're enjoying Fall!  I love the autumnal colours in this collection and the cute images from the pack of Golden Days Embossed Die-Cuts . I'm a total fan of being able to create fun fold cards easily with products that coordinate so well together and there's no stamping or die-cutting required for this design.

Hi there. Welcome to my blog.  This month I was assigned the absolutely adorable Boho Baby Collection to 'work' with for Paper Rose Studio. I love the beautiful neutrals and greens in the collection and wanted to feature as many of the papers and embossed die-cuts that I could.  For the first project I decided to make a Z-Fold card with a pop-up baby crib.  Boho Baby Z-Fold Card I've made a few that are similar in construction but this one is a little different because I've made the crib with the Stirling Fence Metal Cutting Die . You can see how I constructed it further down in this post. I didn't need to add a lot of die-cuts to the card as the beautiful patterned paper is so detailed; I love the cute toy box scene! A rectangular die-cut was added to the back of the card to provide a space to write a message. To finish off the card I glued a cute embossed die-cut to the envelope. My second project, a Zig-Zag Album, also has a pop-up baby crib on the inside cover....

Hi and welcome to the September 2025 Funky Folds Blog Hop. Tonight I'm sharing a Shaker Shadow Box Card featuring products from the Fairytale Christmas Quick Cards Collection (Paper Rose Studio).  The Funky Folds group consists of like minded paper crafters who love to make projects with fun folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless ... and it also includes journals, albums etc. All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' fold! If you love to make cards, journals, albums etc. with creative folds and would like to  participate  in our monthly  Funky Folds Blog Hop , you are welcome to join up through our community group on  Facebook  -  facebook.com/groups/fun...

Hi and welcome to my blog. I'm back with my first Design Team Project for the month of August; a mini version of a Tags & Envelopes Folio. I chose to feature the gorgeous papers and embossed die-cuts from the Poppy Garden Collection from Paper Rose Studio , along with the very versatile  Stitched Tags Metal Cutting Dies .  I learned how to make the larger folio in a class taken by my lovely friend Lynne at LJ’s Crafty Corner , so I adapted the  design to use with 6x6 papers. Smaller envelopes were used in this project - a notecard and a standard card size (C6). The folio design consists of a small tag for the front cover, a larger tag for the back cover and the two different sized envelopes for the middle pages, joined together with an inside hinge and sewn together with a pamphlet stitch using wax thread. Let's take a look at all the pages - Isn't this collection gorgeous!! Poppies, birds, butterflies, scenic landscapes, vintage background papers ... a truly beautifu...
