Handmade Hexagon background Baby card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Another way of using up my scraps of paper pads is to die cut hexagons and glue them all onto the background, I love this look too, I'm so addicted to hexagons at the moment! I think this is a Kaisercraft baby paper pad, are the papers beautiful?

Welcome baby bear scene card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for a magazine commission which was baby themed. I inked up the background sky with distress oxide inks and used Lawn Fawn die cuts to create the grass and flower background. The cute little image is from Bugaboo and I punched out a few little butterflies to finish the card.

Purple, green and blue thank you card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've had some papers forever and not known quite how to create with them. Lately I've been creating strips of the papers and adhering them to a scrap piece of paper then faux stitching on the joins. I love how these turn out. Let me know if anyone wants me to take photos of the process I do as it's really simple but I think it looks really effective, hopefully you think so too.

Congratulations on your baby boy (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my first of 5 cards to show tonight, I've been on holidays this past week or so and I think it shows lol, I can't stop making cards when I'm home and not doing housework! This card I created for a magazine commission, I created the background paper with a lime green copic marker, just roughly making lines across the paper. The die cut green frae was coloured the same way so that all the papers and image were the same colour. The image is from Little Miss Muffet but I haven't added the link like I usually do as the website wasn't up.

Oh how I loved creating this background with my washi tapes. I rarely use them so this was really fun to try something new. I die cut some glitter foam stars to finish it off. I also have a black strip of cardstock on the left hand side but it's hard to see because I photographed the card on a black background.

Simon Says Stamp (Mon) -  Stars and stripes

Black & Silver Striped Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I played around with my washi tapes today and this is one of the cards I came up with. I've been creating striped papers with my paper scraps recently but I thought I'd give washi tape a go this time and I love how they've turned out (the photos don't do them justice sadly).
