Super Girl Mel Saves the Day card (Mari image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for one of my lovely classmates (I'm currently learning interior decoration and surprisingly my knowledge with making cards has come in handy when it comes to colour combos, design, scale and proportion, etc lol). Anyway, she was so helpful when we were doing a team assignment I just had to say thank you in the best way I know how, make a personalised card! She loved it and said she'd keep it forever so that's always nice to hear :)

I used red glitter paper to die cut the sentiment and stars. The background was created with a stencil and some distress oxide inks.

Spaghetti celebrations (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I've had this guy for the longest time but not got around to colouring him up until now. He's perfect for a masculine card isn't he? I ripped scrap papers and just glued them all down onto a scrap piece of paper then cut off the overhanging pieces, it's an easy but effective way to use up scraps (which is what I keep doing at the moment while I'm trying to get through my patterned paper stash). I wanted a little splash of colour so added in the red. You can find the Italian chef at The Paper Shelter.

Girly 1st Birthday card (LOTV image)

Hi crafty friends,

My friend's sweet granddaughter just turned 1 year old so I asked her if she'd like me to make a card for her to give. I made an extra large card and played around with adding the little bears (from Lili of the Valley) and the balloon sentiment. I then created the background including the tree which I'm a bit proud of as I've never drawn a tree like this before. I accidentally got a couple of Copic marker dots on the background so I decided to add more and make it confetti, turned out ok and I don't think they'd realise it was a mistake now hehe.

Forever in Love Valentine's Day card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi crafty friends,

Happy Valentine's Day!

I absolutely adore these little lovey dovey elephants from DigiStamp Boutique. I decided to get creative with the background after watching some Youtube videos so I created a fence, trees, sky etc with my Copics after colouring up the ellies (very scary as I thought I may waste all my efforts and then not be happy with the outcome but I surprised myself, I know elephants wouldn't usually be found in a farm style paddock but... hehe)
