Paper is a big part of everyone's daily life and comes in various colours, styles and thicknesses. Each thickness and type is created to suit individual paper needs, from wedding invitations to modelling and advertising. Paper offers a blank canvas to showcase great inspirational artwork and much more. Although it is a simple piece of stationery, it plays a significant role in every walk of life.

I have a friend with a birthday on St. Valentine's day, so I make her a love themed card every year as part of our joke about it.

Hello crafter's. Are we all well?

Today I'm sharing with you a quick and easy card... The theme is 'Brown' which is not a colour I would typically reach for as a main. Little bits and pieces here and there, yes. But, not normally in such vast quantities. You know though, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. What do you think? I'll talk you through it..

Block designs can be so simple but really effective, and this design can be easily made using your Cricut and the basic shapes and fonts on design space.

I’ve used the stunning Pink Plain Card with Neon Pink Glitter Card and Raspberry Pink Plain Card with Cerise Pink Glitter Card, on a White Card Super Smooth Large Square Card Blank.

Hello everyone. I hope you're all well!

I'm sharing with you today ANOTHER card made using this embossing folder. I have to admit, I have an unhealthy relationship with this embossing folder as I seem to be using it in too many of my projects of late. Truth is, it's so versatile and portrays such luxury.

Without further ado, let's go through this card....

Hello guys and gals. How are we all?

Today I am showing you what should have been a straightforward card, but there were many errors along the way! I think as crafter's we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get things just so, but many of our 'mistakes' won't be visible to the non-crafting eye. Even when they are, they're not held against is. Imperfections are all what make handmade, handmade right?!

I'll show you exactly what went wrong...

Hello guys and gals. I hope we're all well.

I was tasked to make a card using ivory and purple. Challenge accepted! Now I won't lie, initially, I was a little apprehensive about the combination. Ivory is typically a 'wedding' colour so predictably I opted to make a wedding card. This card was so easy to make, we all love that crafter's, don't we?! So, I'll show you what I did...
