Glitz & Glamour

I bought the Glitz & Glamour Project of the month from Craftwork Cards the other day, and thought I'd share with you the first few cards I've made with the pack - some just as the instructions showed, others with a bit of my own twist to them.

Here is the pack with all it's contents:

Wish Upon A Card

Craftworks Card Competition - Sketch 7

I've been using Craftwork Cards papers and goody bags to make my some of my cards for a couple of years now. I first saw them on a stand at the Stitch & Creative Crafts Show in Esher. I love the goody bags as you get so much for your money, all for just a tenner each. I was looking at their blog the other day and see they've been running template competitions - follow their basic template and send in a picture of your card to win some goodies from them. Now, I've never entered competitions like this, as I usually don't see any chance of winning, but I've been making cards for a quite a while now and felt confident enough to have a go myself.


Here's my entry:

Other than following the template, the only stipulation is that you use their products to make the card. I used their monochrome goody bag papers and card that I picked up at a craft fair a year ago. 


Here's the link for their blog post about the competition:

Wish Upon A Card

Butterfly Birthdays

Here is the first of many cards that I have made. I love being able to get stuck
in and create designs with a personal touch to them for friends and family.

This card was made for fellow Wish Upon A Card designer, Hannah.

The embellishments are from Craftwork Cards - I love their designs and the

card candy is great for jazzing up a design in the simplest of ways. Quite a few
of my recent designs have been made using their papers and card candy
and I'll be posting up more for you to see in the coming weeks.

The edges to the card and the butterflies have been coloured with a pale pink ink pad. I love this subtle touch as it really helps to lift the shapes off the background paper.

Thanks for looking :)
