Ciao Bella Paper Sparrow Hill Collection - quick card ideas
Ciao Bella Paper's beautiful Sparrow Hill Collection has something for everyone. There are 12" x 12" papers, 8" x 8" papers, 6" x 6" Fussy Cut Pad, stencils & stamps too. For the cards I am sharing today, I have used 8" x 8" paper pad, 6" x 6" Fussy Cut pad and the Rose Bush stencil.

Happiness is Homemade
Using the Rosebush stencil, I embossed the design on my die cutting machine & then coloured the raised parts with Perfect Pearls. The panel I have used, I pre-cut before starting the embossing part.
Next I cut out lots of different elements from the 8" x 8" papers, plus additional embellishment pieces from 6" x 6" Fussy Cut Pad. I prefer to leave a little white border around my cut out elements. Main reason is that I find I can cut out everything quicker!

Together is the perfect place to be
This time I covered the Rosebush stencil in clear ink and then placed my die cut panel on top. Using my embossing sandwich I ran it threw my die cutting machine. This left the ink on the recessed panels but raised up the rose features. Whilst the ink was wet, I colored it with Perfect Pearls.
I raised my decorative panel up with 3D foam and added to my card base. As before, I cut out different focal elements from 8" x 8" papers adding them to my background.
Some of these elements have been raised using foam pads and others tucked under and over . As a finishing touch, I added a few faux pearl gems.
The Sparrow Hill Collection from Ciao Bella Paper is a beautiful soft colour palate. The imagery work beautifully with scrapbooking/memory books or perfect for card makers too.

Accordion Memory Book
I have already used the papers in a previous project to make an accordion memory book and have both blog posts and a walk through video -
