Sometimes it is good to use some supplies with out lots of other complicated embellishments and that's ideal if the card you are making has to be posted. Today I am going to make a card using just the docrafts papermania mr mister 12 by 12 pack. This 12 by 12 paper pack is great. It has a fab selection of papers with different designs in it. So using the two above papers I simply cut the tools page slightly smaller than the card base then used foam adhesives to give that layered look.. I then cut a smaller square piece of metal looking paper included in the pack and again used foam tape to raise the image. If you look closely at the word paper you can cut out the words the worlds greatest. You could use die cut letters to add another word after if you wanted to say brother or friend. I have left it blank. lastly carefully cut out one of the tools and stick this on two. Actually a very simple but effective card just using papers. Now I told myself that I wasn't going to buy anymore craft magazines when I came across this one! Paper craft essentials. I was sold by the free gift a stamp set and an embossing folder. My youngest loves monkeys so I just had to get it. I am not into colouring in, I would like to be but I haven't found a medium I really like to use. I am on the look out for some watercolour type felt tips to help me master colouring in. I did try! As you can see I stamped some onto yellow card and cut them out to see how they looked. Then I had an idea. My nephew will need a card soon so this made perfect sense to make him a colour in card. I have simply stamped him the image onto the card and a sentiment I will include some colours in the envelop so he can colour it in himself. I love this idea. So we better talk about the magazine. If you haven't bought one of these they talk about lots of new products from a wide range of companies. They take a paper pack and they make 4 cards with it and tell you how. They do lots of these and even tell you how long it should take. I like that they pick a theme and match up products colour wise from lots of different places. If you are stuck for ideas then this is full of them. Flower of the week. Paper flowers are massive at the moment so I have decided to make a different one each week starting with a 3d spider mum flower by Bits of paper. this flower is available in the silhouette store. You have to cut out lots of these flowers and stupidly I didn't look at the instructions as the two smallest pieces are yellow so I inked mine yellow. You need a good blade to cut these as they are small. Then you need to curl all the pieces and stick together largest pieces first. This took ages and whilst its really pretty I wont be in a hurry to make another one of these. Follow the link for the full instructions. So now if your going to follow me with this then keep it safe as we have a use for them once we have finished so make sure you check back next week for the next flower.
