A Vintage Anniversary at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for some more inspiration for our challenge over at The Paper Shelter Blog. This week our theme is Include A Sentiment, which is super easy and could be for any occasion or just a hello!

I used Pg39 from our Vintage Nostalgia colouring book to make my parents an anniversary card.

I added my sentiment using Photoshop before printing the image to colour.

No embellishments are needed, as the image has everything already.

Joyful Holiday Greetings at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's hard to believe that we're halfway through November already and there's only a short timr left to get that Festive crafting done!

This week at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog our theme is Dots and/or Stripes, which leaves plenty of room for interpretation. 

I couldn't resist using "Happy Baby Deer" for a Christmas card, as this image already has dots and stripes. 

I just added a few more dots and stripes with my paper and embellishments!

A Banging Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm back to share my inspiration for the last Paper Shelter Challenge of October!

The challenge is run from my home country {England} and back home soon they will celebrate Guy Fawkes Night (it's an odd thing to celebrate, I know), so the theme for this challenge is Make It Sparkle.

You can choose to interpret this any way you wish, but I just had to add some fireworks to my project! I have used 'Autumn Starter Kit' as she seems ready to go out for some sparkling fun.

 

I created a layered card using card scraps and die-cut elements.

The image has lines on the pants, so I decided to turn them into a plaid design,

I stamped and embossed the fireworks, then used embossing pen to add some extra bits and fill in missing bits.

My husband bought me a Cricut Joy Xtra for my birthday, so I used that to cut the sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
