Simply Cards & Papercraft Scrapbook Pages & Tutorials

 

Today is the day that my first commissioned work will be published! I am so excited to share this bumper blog post with you! It contains 3 YouTube videos and coincides with today’s release of Simply Cards & Papercrafts (161) – containing these 3 scrapbook pages!

When I first received this commission, I felt a mixture of nerves and excitement. I got straight to work on these 3 layouts and here they are…

The Bouquet

I really enjoyed putting this layout together. I even got my sewing machine out and stitched around the edges of the page a few times.

 

Want to know what was in my bouquet? Pink roses, Lavender and Rosemary – and other green leafy things that I don’t know the name of! It smelled divine though!! In this video I explain some of my thought processes on decision making and adapting the lettering to suit the page.

 


Green Eyes

I miss my little Dusty everyday and I have this photograph framed – it’s one of my favourite photos of him. Making layouts about him helps and reminds me of all our good times and his funny little quirks. His tail was something of a talking point, but this layout is dedicated to his beautiful eyes. There will be a page about his huge SWISHY tail soon!

Check out the video, where I show you how to watercolour these beautiful flowers. It really is quite easy and fun to do. I explain my colour choices in the video.

 


So In Love With You

Sometimes I miss those days with a newborn and sometimes I don’t! The early days are so special and fly by so fast!

The moment I got my hands on this particular stamp set, I started designing this layout in my head. Taking inspiration from new supplies can be a good way to beating blank page syndrome! And yes, I do suffer from that sometimes. This video is a full length tutorial, where I show you how I put the page together.


Simply Cards & Papercrafts 161 is out today and comes with a free ornate stamp set and embossing folder. You can create some lovely projects with the ornate corner, border and heart stamps along with all-occasion sentiments for male or female greeting cards.
