New Cards I Made

Well I had a chance to sit and make some cards last night. I decided to print off some of my mandala sheet designs and make a few cards from them. They turned our super cute so I thought I would show them off. I didn't do any fancy techniques here. I cut printed out the sheets, cut them out with scissors and trimmer then glued them together so anyone can make these.

This first card was made with my Autumn Colours Mandala sheet. I used a dark tan card base and matted the mandala paper with dark red paper that had these tiny foil pieces in it which you can really notice in the Father's Day sentiment topper. I edged the paper and the stacked mandala parts with gold ink and added a goil braid trim.

This next card was made using my Blue Green Plaid sheet. Here's a white square card with white and blue card matting with the blue plaid paper. The mandala stackers and congrats topper are on 3d foam for a raised effect. Just added a couple of ribbon knots as well.

Last but not least is this card made with my Dark Blue Star sheet. Again really easy....I used the dark blue star paper on the bottom and some leather textured grey blue paper on the top of a white card base. I added the gingham ribbon across the card. I mixed a couple of silk flowers in with the mandala stackers..all raised on 3d foam pads...so is the little mandala and sentiment.

I've Been Featured!

WOW this is pretty cool. One of my cards was picked up and featured at Popular Crafts' magazine website. They have a listing of great Easter time crafting buys and they featured my Scruffy Bunny and Eggs Easter card shown below. I am so happy my work was recognised. Check out the site where I'm featured here:

Thank you Popular Crafts!! I appreciate it so much!

Colouring Session

My daughter and I had a colouring session and I made a few cards from our results. We used my Scruffy Easter Bunny Digital Stamp set. They sure turned our cute...hope you think so too!

This first card is the egg from the set. My daughter coloured the egg with my Copics...we both are learning how to use them though...lol. I made the card. I used a back card base them layered blue and black cardstock with with orange and pink glitter fibre paper that I got in a stack at Hobbycraft. I added the blue card around the egg as well. I printed out the sentiment myself.


My daughter also coloured in this Scruffy Bunny with my Copics. I made the card with a mettalic brown base card. The tan card layers is cool. It's very thick fabric feeling card and all wrinkly with tiny sparkles in it which you can't really see in the photo. I didn't have any matching pink cardstock so I trimmed a bit of white card with a fancy edge and used the pink Copic over the edges. The ribbon matched exactly though..which I got at my local market. There is a haberdashery stall and she has a big basket of ribbons and trims all 3 bunches for £1.00. Each bunch is between 4-5 metres! I have tons of this lovely pink satin ribbon left for future projects.


Last one I primise...lol. I printed out the Scruffy bunny and 3 of the eggs which I resized lots smaller. This is a nice big card. My mate Julie bought me some card stock for Christmas and some of it was glittery. I used the pretty pink one cut to A4 size which is folded in half. The plaid paper is from a KC&Co paster paper stack I bought 2 years ago. The yellow & pink papers are a Mulberry type paper again from my stash. All stamps are coloured in by me with my new Copics...still going through lots of You Tube vids to learn how to use them better. I printed the sentiment topper. Green dotted ribbon from Hobbycraft.

Thanks for looking at the cards...hope you enjoyed them!
