Tiny Scraps

The perfect design for those tiny paper scraps! Punch little shapes out of the offcuts left from other cards. Hearts are so small that almost any scrap is big enough. It was a little fiddly to stick all the hearts onto the card front, but well worth it in the end!

Love you just the way you are

Love this butterfly punch from Martha Stewart Crafts. A few pearls or rhinestones are the perfect addition to make them sparkle.

This sentiment is from a lable sticker sheet from My Minds Eye. So cute. I love a sentiment that is a bit different from the standard Happy Birthday or Thank You.

Challenge #188 - 21st Century

The challenge today over at the 365Cards blog was to be inspired by technology from the 21st Century. Well I thought about social media and mobile phones and was inspired to use text talk for my sentiment.

Here's my card - hope you like!

The Paper Pad Challenge!

Yesterday I recieved my order from Anna's Craft Cupboard and set myself a challenge. I was going to use every piece of paper from a paper pad, right down to the scraps! It was fun and was deffinately a good way to make use of a paper pad fully. I usually find I've only made a card or two from many, many paper pads I already have. I got 18 cards from the paterns and only used a few extras like letter stickers and some sentiments I had pre-cut.

These are just a couple of my favourites!

Super Sketchy

Here's my take on the Sketch for challenge #165 over at the 365cards blog. Love these papers and embellishment but I've been a little stumped as to how to use them so a sketch was the perfect inspiration!

Tri-Fold



Here's my interpretation of a tri-fold card for challenge #169 over at the 365cards blog. I love this cute penguin and the bright colours! So fun



The sides of the card meet flush down the middle and the penguin frame is attached to one side so that it is central when the card is closed. I like this method for making a tri-fold card look whole and not split down the middle.
