Rainy day makes

Issue 176, April's Papercraft Inspirations magazine features a set of rainy day papers and card ideas I designed with cute little 3D umbrellas and patterned wellies! The patterns and toppers are available to download here for free and the card ideas are in the mag.

Also with this issue are a set of nested heart shaped dies and matching stamps I worked on perfect for Valentine's day makes, weddings and generic cards alike. There are some great ideas again in the mag so check it out!...

Summer Fete

I designed a lovely summary set of papers and cards this month for Papercraft Inspirations magazine Issue 165 with a 'Fete' theme. The papers can be downloaded here.

Also free with this month's mag is a heart/border die cutting tool I designed which is very versatile for decorating as lace, hearts, strips, making flowers etc. See below a couple of the lovely ideas I picked out from the mag!

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.

Babushka!

This has to be one of my favourite themes to design...

Craftseller Issue 53 had a Russian doll theme throughout the mag including some fun colourful papers I designed on a folky theme. I loved designing the windmills pattern, this is something I'd never been briefed to design before so a great new challenge, and the Babushka dolls card they designed using my papers looked super cute!

Issue 138 Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine also went down the Russian theme route with pretty domes, folk florals and dolls. These papers are still available to download here to make your own pretty cards!

Spotted!!

I have been patiently waiting for these designs I did for Peacocks boyswear to come out in the shops and they finally have, I spotted them today! (Fashion works generally a year in advance) I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out.
