Twist & Pop Christmas Card

Hi all,

I tried something new this week, using the Christmas paper download from Trimcraft which you can get for free HERE

Looks like a normal card right?

Wrong.

Some of my fellow teamies at Trimcraft spoke of a 'twist and pop' card.
I was intrigued, so I enquired how to make it....
I was directed to this video, which I followed to make the card.

Here's a picture of the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Autumn!

Hi all,

Well, autumn is in full swing.. it's chillier and the leaves are just starting to turn.

I haven't been able to get to a country park yet for a photography day - whenever we've had chance the weather has been dull and gloomy! Fingers crossed we'll make it in the next couple weeks.

To keep me going (I really wanted to get started with some autumn bits), I had a wander to the edge of our estate where there's a green with some trees on up a hill. I piled leaves up with my feet (they're a bit sparse on the ground) and took the picture on my phone... Autumn has just started but already the colours are so beautiful. 

This is my first ever A4 layout and I used a little flicked acrylic paint on the background. The papers are a free download from Trimcraft and you can get them here. 

I made a little card with the papers too. I love love LOVE the colours on the papers. So bright. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Layout

Hi all

Another spooky make to share.

On Saturday we were going to see family in the afternoon. Seeing as it was Halloween, we thought we'd get a little something to dress up with and scare everybody... I took a selfie with my parents in our 'costumes' before we set off.

Like the card I made last week, I used the Halloween download papers from docrafts. I hate fussy cutting but sometimes you just have to...

To make the flowers I painted plain flowers with black acrylic and sprinkled over some glitter before the paint dried. The glitter is just nail glitter I bought on eBay but it's really nice to use.

Until next time...
