Oh! Hello ...

Hi Everybody,

This fun card was made a while ago and uses one of the magazine freebies from 2016.

I took my inspiration for this design from my friend Christine Smith over at Crafti Potential as she has some of the most fabulous fun cards that are easy to make

I made it into a shaker card and added sequins and glitter to the jar and it made a novel birthday card to send to male or female and any age group

The Hello has had Glossy Accents added to give it that shine to the two tone look

It is a 5x7 card but the jar would fit onto a smaller design if you preferred

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie 25 - Shabby Chic

Hi Everybody,

Pretty in Blue for this card teamed with coffee flowers. I have also added metal to this one in the shape of leave and the owl

There is lace along the bottom and sparkle to the flowers and I will leave it to you to discover what else is on there if you are the winner

It is a 5x7  card and the inside is lined on this one and I don't think you will be disappointed with it if you should be the winner

Papercraft Essentials 148 - Sunflower Dreams

Hi Everybody,

Papercraft Essentials 148 will be in the shops tomorrow and with it there is this lovely gift named Sunflower Dreams

I decided not to make my flowers yellow but to try something different to show you how versatile this stamp is

For this card I have gone for a Distress ink background and turquoise flowers and I quite like the effect. The video is here for you to view ... PE148 Sunflower Dreams

As well as the stamps and the embossing folder you can also download some papers  to save you time

I printed them off onto a 160 gsm paper as this is not flimsy and will give you a good look.

For this card I used only the papers and the labels from the paper stack.

On the revers of the packaging there is a seed packet template so that you can cut out any that you need to add a gift card or money too ... or even a packet of seeds.

Have fun as you play with this useful gift from

 Papercraft Essentials 148

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
