Paper Crafting Journey

The new challenge at Paper Crafting Journey is sponsored by Jellypark and the Jellypark DT were asked if they fancied making a sample. The theme is a picture inspiration (for some reason I can't get it added to this post!) and here is my sample:


I've used the Wedding Cake digi and coloured it with Promarkers plus a smidge of glitter glue. My new X Cut die has been used - I had a bit of a time with the larger size using it to cut the card blank with my rather ancient red Sizzix machine as it wouldn't go through with two card thickness. I managed in the end though!!

The papers are Nana's Nursery - Baby Girl 8x8 stack which I shamefully admit, rediscovered in one of my drawers and its first time I've used it! I bought it in The Range a few years ago in the sale and I can't resist a bargain!

The ribbon and embroidery thread are from my stash. I've added a line of dotted liquid pearls around the edge of the card to finish it off. And the heart charm is from a necklace from the Poundshop!

Head on over to Paper Crafting Journey as you could win two Jellypark digi's!

Not An Easel Card!

I'm just about making the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge in time this week. Something to do with faffing around too much and not making a decision! I've been asked to make some Dedication cards for Sunday, and this is one of them:

I've used a Di's Digi image, coloured with Promarkers and a little glitter glue plus half pearls, prima flowers and a rosebud from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated and the papers are from Nana's Nursery 8x8 stack which I bought half price in the January sales.

And although you can't really see it, I've used a Martha Stewart punch for the panel down the centre. The ribbon in real life is a really good match with the papers - I blame the lighting in the kitchen for the bad colour! And it follows the Sweet Sketch Wednesday:


Got a few more Dedication cards to show over the next few days so stay tuned!
