My Little Paper World

Hello and Welcome! Elizabeth Craft Designs are showcasing Masculine/Father's Day cards on their blog! Here is my take on this months creative theme. I decided to turn them in to birthday cards - but these are such a gender neutral design that you could put any sentiment on and it would work! I used Elizabeth Craft Designs: Geometric Background die along with Elizabeth Craft Designs: Your Day Stamp Set. I coloured the first card using Elizabeth Craft Designs: Watercolour Palette . Happy Crafting! Samantha

I’m back sharing a few cards I made for Craftie Café . Though it may not be wedding season here in Australia, it is in many other parts of the world – hence a whole bunch of really beautiful flower stamps and dies currently available. So I’ve made a few wedding themed (congratulatory/best wishes) cards to add to my stash for those special moments where I really don’t need to be rushing to create a card. The first card I made is very simple whilst the other two cards require a little more time. But this card series is a great way for me to share how I generally start creating. The first card is a single layer card and probably my go-to design for cards in terms of layout. I pretty much stamp a small area to see what it will look like – colour choices, medium choices, card focal point are decided here. If I have more time (which is an amazing event with three kids under 5) then I like to challenge myself by adding more to the layout of the card. In the video I share how this was...

Who's glad its the weekend - ME! It's been crazy busy - add three sick kiddies and I haven't stopped or slept. So this will be a super quick post to share a card that I've been trying to write up since Monday... I recently shared a card I made using some watercolour cards from a Simon Says Stamp kit. (Blog post here ). This card was made soon after that - this time testing out some new Jane Davenport pens I got from Paper Flourish ! I'm in love with this new watercolour medium. It was really easy to work with and the colours are so vibrant! Anyways here is the card and hope you all have a wonderful weekend! (Fingers crossed I'll get some much wanted craft time - I've posted a few goodies on Instagram I received during the week and really want to make a few cards). Happy Crafting! Entered into this weeks Simon Says Stamp Challenges - view here  and here . Samantha

Today I wanted to share a watercolour card I made during the week. The card came with the Simon Says Stamp May 2017 card kit and I finally decided to colour it in! I used my Zig brush pens and it was super easy to colour - the card is quite a thick card and good quality. I also really like that its a white white base rather then the slightly yellow watercolour card I've seen around. The card kit came with two of these pre-printed, colour in, watercolour based cards so I look forward to sharing another card soon - I got the new Jane Davenport pens too, so a perfect way to try these out! For those who follow me on instagram - I was a little hesitant to die-cut the card (especially once it was coloured) but I am quite happy I did and love how it turned out. Happy Crafting and thanks for stopping by! Samantha

Quick Share of cards - in a previous post I gave up on watercolour but I wanted to revisit it and play a little more once I was in a more patient mood! Here are the cards I made - and I must say that even though I still have a lot to learn (for example I'd have preferred the sentiment to be darker so instead of stamping it with the plants I should have done it afterwards) I am still rather happy with the results. I definitely want to practice using watercolour more and I felt that once I got into it I was able to get into a little rhythm - moving around to different areas which allowed the area just finished time to dry. Which then moved the whole process along - because lets face it I like to make cards quickly! Happy Crafting and I hope to share some more watercolour cards with you soon! Samantha

So yesterday I blogged this post - a card I made a few days ago and I just could resist having another little play last night!  Using Unity's 'on my way' stamp and my Rectangle nesting dies - TRIBAL . I coloured the image using my Zig brush pens and came up with this colour combo!  It really is a fun little stamp set :) Thanks for stopping by!
