A Wedding Day Romance Folio

  Good morning and a very happy Sunday. It's Sue here, and today I'm sharing a folio  I made following a tutorial by the fabulous and much missed Cal Summers.

I've used papers from the beautiful Wedding Day Romance collection, together with chipboard embellishments, washi sheets, and self-adhesive stickers from the Stamperia Romance Forever collection.
This is quite a large folio with lots of flips, flaps, and pockets, so lots of room for photos.
Photo mats also fit into the pockets to take 6x4 photos.
There's also room for larger and smaller photographs. Aren't these Stamperia images fabulous? Some are self-adhesive stickers, and some are washi sheets. This is my latest favourite thing. You cut around the images and they are self-adhesive and just melt into the paper.
These photo mat folders are 8x6 and so will take 4x4 and 7x5 photos.
These are 6x4 photo mats made from the Wedding Day Romance collection. I think it looks really nice on kraft card.
And these are the pockets where they fit. You can fit a 6x4 photo on each side, and there are 6 of them.
And this is with the photo mat removed. Aren't the cut apart sheets beautiful!
More of the fabulous stickers and washi, and room for more photographs.
Such pretty papers!
And this is the lovely chipboard.  I can't believe how well these collections all fit together so well.

As always the collection is available in both digital and A4 paper formats here in the Relatively Thoughtful store.

Have a wonderful day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

Journal made by Lyneen

 Hello everyone 

We are sharing a stunning project made by Lyneen Jesse.

Lyneen says: 

"Today, I am sharing a 38-page journal I created with Titanic 2 double-sided digital pattern papers and my Thermal Cinch. 

The pages were printed on copy paper. The journal measures 6 x 8 ¼ inches.

There is so much ephemera to fussy cut and images to use in the Titanic 2 collection for a great junk journal.

I have made pockets, bands and fold-out pages. I am sharing the cover and the first 8 pages.

I hope this inspires others to create an awesome journal."

Wedding Day Romance collection

Hello everyone.

We are sharing stunning projects made by our Design Team.


Lyneen says: "The stunning Wedding Day Romance collection is perfect for wedding and anniversary projects. I used the "Wedding Day Romance" with the beautiful chipboard and ephemera from the Stamperia Romance Forever collection for an anniversary card." 




"The papers and flowers would work for any occasion. I love the beautiful, soft colours.
This card is a wedding card with a collage of things to remember the special day. I used Relatively Thoughtful Wedding Day Romance with ephemera from Stamperia’s Romance Forever also available from Relatively Thoughtful."




Sylvia says: "I made Fold Out Pockets to my Art Jurnal. I used beautiful vintage backgrounds and cutting elements from the "Wedding Day Romance" collection."



Helen says: "Today I'm sharing a gift card wallet and matching envelope made using the papers and some of the images from the 'Wedding Day Romance' set.  I have layered everything with gold paper using die cuts."



Ewa says: "When I saw the latest wedding collection by Relatively Thoughtful, I just had to make a wedding card with a beautiful image of newlyweds. Take a look at the gorgeous dress! Happy crafting with the collection!"



Małgorzata says: "I made a Birthday card with the newest paper collection. "Wedding Day Romance" is an amazing collection of papers with beautiful cut-out flowers. It's them who create the beautiful composition on the birthday card. I hope you like my card."




Shruti says: " I created this Beautiful Heart-Shaped tag and tried to give it a shabby chic look using the amazing collection "Wedding Romance."
Love the Beautiful elements - Roses, flowers from this collection.
We can use this as a card, home decor and gift for loved ones 
I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Welcome Aboard

  Good morning and a very happy Sunday. It's Sue here and today I'm sharing a travel wallet made with the beautiful Titanic 2 collection.

I made the base out of 1 A4 sheet of thick (300 gsm) black card so it's very economical with cardstock.
I cut it at 29 cm, then scored at 14 and 15 cm (so there is a 1cm hinge when the folder is closed) The card needs to be sturdy, but not so stiff that it cracks when folded.
For the pockets, I took an A5-sized piece of card and chopped 1/4 of an inch off the short edge.  I put a pencil mark at 5 1/2 inches and 2 1/2 and cut straight across.
As they are from the same cut they match exactly - phew!

To turn them into 3-dimensional pockets I scored at 1/2 an inch and 1 inch, then trimmed the corners and burnished really well.
This is the inside of the folder once the paper has been added.
And this is the outside.
These are the measurements of my pockets. I cut my Titanic papers 1/8 of an inch smaller all around.  I also remembered to reverse one (phew again!) I put some strong red liner tape around the outer edge, which will fold under to create the 3-D pocket.
Just stick them down making sure to create the gusset. I always add wet glue to the red liner tape to give myself some wriggle room.
Now for the fun part! I made lots of embellishments...
To go with the postcards that are included in the collection.
And here is the front all finished.
And the back. I really like how the tags look with the oversized paper clips.
This is the inside, all stuffed with embellishments,  postcards, and tags.
I really like how the photographs look in a die cut film strip.
And these tags are amazing.
As always the collection is available in both digital and A4 paper format.

Have a lovely day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x
