   Hello Chit Chatters.....

Robyn Leeanne here and this month is Mintay Month.

 We at Craft on the Run have heard a few rumblings from people who seem to struggle a little with the beautiful Mintay Collections. Yes we to know that sometimes they can be a little intimidating. Sometimes I would rather just frame each paper and put them on my walls.

We all love Mintay Papers but often they are so stunning that sometimes we dont know what to do with them, so the Craft on the Run Design Team is here to help with how they approach these collections so you have the confidence to use these papers. 

As an added bonus and to encourage you to play along and give these tutorials a go we are doing a Mintay Giveaway...

Mintay - Nightfall - Cards - DT Robyn Leeanne

 Hello Chit Chatters.....

Robyn Leeanne here with you for my next project for the month of June. 

I do hope you were able to be crafty with us at our cyber crop during June. 

Anyways this month I have a some cards for you for a change that I did with the new Mintay Nightfall collection, which as you know by now is just stunning.

I started with selecting my blank cards and I thought I would use the new Mintay Fancy Cards.

Its always nice to try something new.

Today I have 3 cards for you.

Card 1

I started by using a diecut I had made for the base of the card.

I also inked some cabochons for decorations later.

The back edge of the card is an offcut of the original diecut. 

I used this to accentuate the edge of the card

The I thought about using the Mintay lasercuts heart but never did on card one as it was to much fussiness.

In the end I decided on a simple diecut oval (Uniquely creative Die) and a diecut "Happy Birthday"

"Happy Birthday" was colored Gold same as the added cabochons.

In the end it was quite simple but I have to admit I struggled a little with it.

Card 2 

Again I have used Mintay Fancy Card blank, I glue a piece of the nightfall collection paper on the decorative side and knife cut the pattern into the nightfall paper.

The Rose in the center came from my stash, I have been waiting a long time to find the right place for that.

Then along with a line of bling through the center of the front and the other half being very plain I thought it would make a nice "thoughtful" type of card. Which is why I added the colored sentiment "Thinking of you" 

Nice and elegantly simple don't you think.

Card 3

Well by the time I got to card 3 I had decided to use up the scrap pieces from the first 2 cards.

So strips of Mintays nightfall and of cardstock were left from the die cutting.

The strips of cardstock were put down with foam mount tape. and again the edge trimmed to the pattern that is already on the Mintay fancy card blanks.

Then I added the Mintay lasercut heart and sentiment,

 both colored with oxides, to complete the card.

 I hope my cards inspires you to have a play with these very pretty papers and great lasercuts from the Mintay Nightfall collection.

Mintay - Nightfall - Layout - DT Robyn Leeanne

 Hello Chit Chatters.....

Robyn Leeanne here with you for the month of June. 

I do hope you have been able to be crafty during June. 

As you may already be aware we at Craft on the Run have a very busy month ahead. 

Craft on the Run is having a Cyber Crop on the weekend of the 12th and 13th June.

If you would like to join us for heaps of fun and challenges just request to join the Craft on the Run Chit Chatters Group. I will be there doing the Blind Crop.

Anyways this month I have a layout for you that I did with the new Mintay Nightfall collection, which by the way is just stunning.

I started with selecting the papers I would use with a slight idea in mind.

Then it was about cutting and placing what I wanted were. 

There were a few different variations until I settled on the one above.

Ok now its time to get the variation I liked stuck down. 

Some as you can see I used foam tape to elevate slightly.

Then came the photo for me. 

This pose from my 2 girls was just perfect.

Now my friends Mintay are making there own lasercuts. This being the doily in the pictures.

They are very sturdy and easy to use.

 I cut the doily in half for this layout, the other half I can use later. 

Mintay are also doing the words in there lasercuts which I have used on this layout.

They are big and take color well. 

The picture below shows original coloring and the ones above have been lightly colored using oxides.

 I have also added a little bling in the form of some diamante's and sequins.

And here my friends is the finished product.

 I must say it is lovely and easy to work with such a beautiful collection.

 I hope it inspires you to have a go with this very pretty papers and great lasercuts from the Mintay Nightfall collection.
