My wishlist........

I don't know about you but my favourite crafting product is paper. Yes paper, I love the stuff. If I'm stuck for inspiration I just flick through my paper stash until I find one that inspires me to start a new project. However, last night while flicking through my paper box, I noticed that it was getting a little empty!!!!! So here's my wish list for what I want to fill my empty box with.........

1. Cosmo Cricket Early Bird 6x6 paper, 36 sheets.

RRP £6.75.

I love these papers, they are quite bright and fun and match all my spring time projects.

2. Cosmo Cricket Double Deck Lil' man and snorkel, 12x 12, 48 sheets.

RRP £23.99

I thought these would be fun for my summer scrapbooking.

3. Papermania signature range, Regency A5 paper pack, 48 sheets, 12 designs.

RRP £6.99

I l;ove the muted soft colours in this collection, and thought this would be nice to indulge my girly side.

4. DCWV, Safari Chic Stack, 48 sheets, 24 designs, 12x12.

RRP £19.99

I love the animal inspired prints and tribal designs, plus the paper's textured too.

 

5. K and Co Paper flowers,24 double sided 12 x 12 pages of flowers, leaves and extras, there are 578 die-cut pieces ready to fold and embellish.

RRP £14.99

I really fancy giving these a try. They are something new that I haven't tried before and I love the K and Co patterns and colours.

Pepper and friends.

I just love the new Pepper and Friends stickers. They are thick cardstock stickers with glitter effects. They are just RRP 99p a set which is great value for money.

The three sets I've bought are:

• Just Pepper (top)
• Friends together (middle)
• Buds and butterflies (back)

Below are some examples of how I've used theses stickers.

Cole Photo Frame:

In this example I used DCWV Spring Stack paper to cover a hamemade frame cut from chipboard. I then decorated the outside edges with a Pepper sticker and some bugs. Th summery feel of the photo is reflected in the frame.

Top Tip: When making your own photo frames, stick a card blank onto the back to make it stand up.

Daddy's Girl Card:

I'm really loving personalising my cards with photos at the moment. I used DCWV Spring Stack paper as a background and cut the greeting from a cosmo cricket 12 x 12 page (Everafter: Elements). I think the hedgehog adds a cheeky touch.

Thinking of You Card:

I cut the greeting from a cosmo cricket 12 x 12 page (Everafter: Elements) and used some patterned paper from my stash mounted onto a blue base card. I really love this Pepper sticker as he looks like he's lying in the grass daydreaming.
