My Little Paper World

Hello! Welcome back! This card was shared over at the StickerKitten blog last week - I'm playing blog catch up this month (because October has been absolutely CRAZY!)  Today I'm sharing a few cards I created from the latest collection box from StickerKitten! Its called Alpaca Wishes and just like the name suggests its got really cute Alpaca's and a soft Christmas Wintery feel to it. It's one of my favourite collections so far!  When I decide to create a set of cards I generally like to pick a technique or idea that can be creatively developed in different ways. These cards all focus around banners and I've included a quick tutorial below.  Supplies List: Alpaca Wishes Collection Box Alpaca Wishes Christmas Sequins Alpaca Wishes Die-Cut Ephemera Alpaca Wishes Christmas Paper Pack Alpaca Wishes Photopolymer Stamps (Christmas Alpacas) Other: Cardstock Grey Ink Sewing Machine Tape Runner/Glue dots/Multi Medium Matte Paper Trimme...

Hello! Today I wanted to share a whole bunch of cards I created as a guest designer for Uniquely Creative's October Creative Kit Club . This kit is now available on their web store - here . It is full of fun crafty items using Kaisercrafts First Noel collection.  I managed to create six cards with the majority of the ephemera - I love using Kraft card for Christmas cards and I like to make simple Christmas cards because they're generally made last minute and I need a lot of them. These kits are perfect for doing just that! Here is what I came up with. I love the ephemera and paper in this collections - the gold is so pretty and bright.

Hello! Last month I received my first collection kit from StickerKitten . With it I created a fun set of three cards (you can view them here .) Soon after as I was cleaning up the mess I had made I came up with another layout to use up some more ephemera and pattern paper from their paper packs. Here is the card: Card Instructions: Step 1: Create a card front using pattern paper from Unicorn Fairground paper pack. Use a corner punch to the top right corner. Measurements: 10.5cm x 15cm Step 2: On white card stamp the sentiment 'celebrate' as shown. Trim to size. Measurements: 8cm x 7cm Step 3: Add machine stitched details.

Adhere card front to a side folding card base. Tips: Instead of machine stitched lines use a white, light purple or light grey felt tip pen to create faux stitch...
