The start of my Uniquely Creative journey - so many cards with the first kit!

Hi and welcome to my blog!

I started as a Guest Designer for Uniquely Creative back in February 2020, right when the pandemic hit so it happily got me through all the lockdowns we had here in Melbourne, Australia. 

This first kit I created with was beyond amazing and I used every last bit of it, and this was a 12x12 scrapbooking kit, I'm not talking a 6x6 paper pad! I made around 50 cards so I thought I'd share them all on this blog post. 

I'm going to try and add a blog post with each Uniquely Creative kit collection I've used so that should keep me busy along with my YouTube channel. Please check out my YouTube if you enjoy watching card making tutorials, it's full of crafting tips and tricks, and of course, loads of card design inspiration and ideas. The tab for my YouTube channel is just below my blog heading or click HERE.










































Let me know if you have a favourite card from this bunch. Wasn't it a beautiful collection? It's sadly no longer available to purchase but if you have papers in your stash, you could use them instead. Or you can go to Uniquely Creative's website to see all their beautiful new collections, just click HERE.

That's it, have a wonderful crafty day,

Santa Selfie Christmas card (The Paper Shelter image)

 Hi crafty friends,

I hope you are all well and safe from the nasty virus.

I really wanted to celebrate The Paper Shelter's 10th Birthday celebrations as they are such a wonderful company with gorgeous digital images. I especially love that each one comes in a black and white outline and also a pre-coloured version, even with a background and everything if you decide to make a quick card. Their shop link is The Paper Shelter.

So I have used a pre-coloured image but created the snowy ground and coloured around the image with my Copic markers.  



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Let it snow

The Paper Shelter - A special celebration

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a safe New Year,

Cheeky Rudolph Christmas Card (The Paper Shelter image)

 Hi crafty friends,

I hope you are all well and safe from the nasty virus.

I made this card with a cute Rudolph image from The Paper Shelter and gorgeous papers and embellies from Uniquely Creative. Check out both stores by clicking on their names.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas card

Hi crafty friends,

I hope you are all well and safe from the nasty virus.

It's been a while since I've posted on my blog as I'm very active on my Instagram page now and there just doesn't seem to be enough time to do all the social media (or is it just me?)

I really wanted to celebrate The Paper Shelter's 10th Birthday celebrations though as they are such a wonderful company with gorgeous digital images. I especially love that each one comes in a black and white outline and also a pre-coloured version, even with a background and everything if you decide to make a quick card. Their shop link is The Paper Shelter.

So I have used a pre-coloured image but created the sky and snow background with my Copic markers and some Nuvo white drops. 



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Let it snow

The Paper Shelter - A special celebration

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a safe New Year,
