Magical Birthday Wishes at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

it's time for another challenge at The Paper Shelter and this time it is our Summer Break Challenge, which will run for 4 weeks to give the teams some time off. 

The theme is Anything Goes, so you can let your imagination run wild.

I have made a birthday card for my friend, using 'Cloudcrest Dragon'. Isn't he the cutest? I love to try new folds and found this Tower Fold Card inspiration on Pinterest. It's really simple to make, but gives stunning results with the extra dimension,

I went over the black lines of the clouds with white pen to give them a softer look.

Magical cards always need some sparkle!

A Christmas Treat In July at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I've been super busy recently getting ready for my daughter's birthday party this past weekend. It was Fortnite themed, so I had lots of inspiration to work from! Thankfully I still had time for some other crafting, including my DT project for this week.

Our theme for The Paper Shelter this challenge is Sweet Treats. You can interpret this how you like  - it doesn't have to be food. I decided to go with food though as I really wanted to colour a cupcake. I used Pg59 from the Christmas Cupcakes colouring book for a simple layered card.

I stayed with traditional colours and added lots of sparkle, including this glitter felt that I've had for a while and keep forgetting about.

I added lots of sparkle to the image using gel pens.
