Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell CRAFT!

Hellooooo!

Christmas card making is in full swing and I have some cards to share using the Simply Creative Jingle Bells 12x12" paper pad by Trimcraft. The colours in this pad are really vibrant and there's some traditional designs in there too. It reminds me of the really old Christmas decorations I used to put up at my grandma's when I was little.

This one is a simple grid design with stitching and cute character stickers.

This one makes a bauble out of an aperture, surrounded by die cut buttons. 

And something a little more CAS - three snowflakes each topper with a sticker.

If you want to find out more about how I made these projects then head over to my Trimcraft gallery.

Humber Bridge Layout

Hey everyone,

The layout I'm sharing today is a really bright one using a picture I took of the Humber Bridge back in February on a visit to Hull. We were driving home and it was a lovely sunny day so we stopped off at the country park next to the bridge and I took some pictures. It's so strange standing under the bridge as it's so tall, just looking at it made me feel dizzy!

I had trouble getting the title to stand out against the bright paper so I painted an area with white acrylic to provide a clearer base, plus another area in the corner for the date, and also to add a bit of balance to the layout.

Totally Tropical Cards!

Hi all,

Just stopping by to share some bright, tropical themed cards I made recently.

The first I think is my favourite card I've ever made. Just something simple using embossing, die cutting and using washi tape with the aperture of the feather... lovely!

The second one started with a strip of scrapbook paper I had left over. I cut it at an angle and folded it to create the concertina effect and you can see the other side of the paper showing through - red and white stripe.
I finished it off with some pink embellishments.

And finally, a card made using the flamingo die free with Papercraft Essentials this month, plus papers downloaded from the Papercraft Magazines website. I printed off the paper and covered with vellum. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Neon Fairground Layout

Hi all

Sharing a neon layout today. I love making things with neon, so when I saw this merry go round on the South Bank in London I couldn't resist taking a snap and making a neon layout with it.

I also recorded making it in timelapse.

Until next time...!

Trendy Sentiments layout

Hi everyone

Just hopping by to share another make using the Papermania Neon collection, and the Trendy Sentiments free download from docrafts. You can download the pack HERE. It's full of funky papers and sentiments that feel so fresh and modern - great if you're a younger crafter or crafting for a young person. It works so well with the Neon collection.

Until next time...!

(P.S)... stay tuned for something VERY cool on Wednesday or Thursday or Friday depending on the post... eeeee!!!!
