Garden Party Bumper pack

Issue 158 Cardmaking and Papercraft featured a 'Garden Party Bumper Pack' I designed with bird and teacup stamps, embossing boards and papers...

Be my Valentine

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's day this year? I should really have shared these Issue 148 papers in advance but they're still great for general card makes as the papers are quite versatile with the puzzles, chevrons and floral lace pattern! They are available to download for free on the Papercraft Inspirations blog, as are the 'Romantic Getaway' photographic style papers I designed for them last year Iss 135.

Roses and superheroes!

Papercraft Inspirations magazine June Issue 126 is out now and comes with a freebie gift set of 'Lilly Rose' stamps and matching papers that I designed to go with them!

In this month's issue there are also a set of Father's Day papers and card ideas that I designed with a superhero theme! These were great fun to design and a very different theme to any I have done before! It includes characters, metal effects, stars and speech bubbles etc and can be downloaded for free from their website here and printed to make your very own cards!

Country Chic!

My country-rose themed papers made the cover this month in Cardmaking and Papercraft's May Issue 130! I filled these patterns with textures to make them feel more like fabrics. Not only are they printed in the mag but they are also available to download here on their website, and there are some great card ideas in the mag too.

Loved Up!

It's almost Valentine's Day, so for some great cards ideas check out Iss 122 of Quick Cards, where they show you how to use my bonus floral themed Valentine's paper designs! The papers are available to download and print yourself for free here. 

J'adore Paris!

Issue 122 of Papercraft Inspirations is also their Valentine's special, so their free papers and card ideas from me this month were of a romantic, Parisian feel, with birds, roses, the Eiffel Tower, lace and corsets! I loved designing this collection, hope you like them...

Peacocks - Boho Traveller

A while back, I designed pattern and graphics towards the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection at Peacocks, which has started to creep into stores recently. Shown below are a few snippets from the 'Boho Traveller' girlswear range...

These chiffon 3-D roses came out great in fabric...

I worked on several variations of a rose floral, which I am happy to see has been used in a few colourways and applied to a variety of fabrics such as jersey and wovens. It has even been applied to a matching waterproof jacket which is lovely.

Time for Tea!

The latest issue of Cross Stitch Crazy has been released along with a free cover mount I designed for them; 4 'tea time' theme gift sets containing cross stitch designs for cards, tags, greetings and borders for home ware and gift, plus 4 matching patterned papers. I'm really pleased with how these turned out- it's always hard to imagine your flat designs as a cross stitch until you see them made! It is available to purchase here.
