Crafters Companion “Through the Looking Glass” Collection Card Gallery

I love the red white & blue color palette and collage style of this card making kit – all centered around Alice in Wonderland characters and imagery. I stamped a bunch of the sentiments that have some great font combinations and kitschy phrases, then I also stamped a whole page of the little imagery – Alice, pocket watch, playing cards, drink bottle, tea cup, cupcake, top hat – and colored them with some shading to add dimension. And of course lots of die cuts in black, gold, red and blue papers.

After crafting my embellishments, I created my card bases and added the vintage collage papers as a background – if you look closely, they have story elements sprinkled throughout – so darling!

I tried to incorporate a new technique for me – stenciling in background layers and full front images. It just adds so much whimsey.

Another way to add a texture is repeat the stamps in the background. I especially love the tone-on-tone look. And check out the shaker card foil hearts confetti – so cute!

All the cards just have a wonderful “Wonderland” quality, so the recipients can have their own mini adventure, finding something new each time they look at them.

This collection is also perfect to craft into this fancy dimensional book on a book stand. The inspiration keeps going on and on!
