Vintage Page

I love this page, the background paper has a vintage, faded look to it and I added journalling, a photo and a beautiful 3D flower embellishment to keep the layout quite simple, and not overpower the beautiful paper.

Anitas 3D glitter decoupage

I love these decoupage sets, they're so pretty and girly. There are lots of sheets to choose from and they all come diecut so they are very quick to put together without all the fiddely cutting out.They have an RRP of just 99p and each sheet comes with three floral decoupage images which are beautifully glittered. 

Here are my first two examples:

I love this image, it's so pretty and the butterfly is lovely. I used a deep leafy coloured background with a pink mount for the greeting to tie in with the pink on the butterflies wings.

On this card I punched some daisies out of the corners to continue with the floral theme. I used a more pastel green for the background. This image is just such a wonderful pink colour.

Jolly Nation 3D Box Cards

Jolly Nation have done it again, these new 3D box cards are amazing!!!!!! Not only are they a masterpiece that will be treasured by the lucky recipient, they fold flat for posting too. The kit comes with 9 different designs from the ever lovable Jolly Nation range and include the luxury bath lady shown below, as well as 70's and 80's dancers, gardening and TV remote guy. At RRP £8.99 this works out at approximately £1 per card, but there are lots and lots of left over borders, greetings, and pictures to make more cards from, so this kit becomes good value for money. The contents include: 9 3D decoupage sheets, 9 box card blanks and envelopes, and accessory sheets containing borders, greetings and corners. (You could also try making a template from the card blank and give making your own 3D box cards a try......)

This is my first try at a box card and I just love the result, I'll post pictures when I've finished the other eight and of any cards I make with the leftovers.

Sexy Shoes

Try these fabulous shoes for when a simple card just simply isn't enough!!! These shoes are fabulous to hold table presents, can be sent in a box in place of a card or simply for decoration in your home!!

I got this idea from a craft magazine. If anyone would like the templates please e-mail and I will send them to you.




Step 1:

Draw around the template labelled "bottom" onto coloured paper or thin cardstock, cut out and fold where indicated.


Step 2:

Glue the tabs underneath to form the heal of the shoe.





Step 3:

Draw around the template labelled "top"onto coloured paper or thin cardstock, cut out and fold where indicated.

Step 4:

Glue the tabs under the sole of the shoe, I find double sided tape works best here.

Step 5:

Draw around the template labelled "toungue", cut out fold where indicated and glue in place.

Step 6:

Decorate!!!! ( I used ribbon to make an ankle strap and a chipboard shape as an embellishment)
