I’m in Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine!

Hi Guys!

The lovely people at Cardmaking & Papercraft contacted me some time ago regarding some of my images being used in the November edition of their magazine. I’ve been so excited while I’ve waited for it to be released, I ordered a copy (Issue 110) and it arrived this morning. I am over the moon with it, there is a 2 page spread containing 4 cards made using some of my Christmas Digital Stamps.

If you would like the digis used and to see the original posts including my versions of these cards…

you can find the Stocking here,

you can find the Round Ornaments here,

you can find the Long Ornaments here

and you can find the Conical Tree here.

The magazine had an absolutely gorgeous stamp set free with it and also a book of patterned papers so I have even more reasons to be delighted with it :)

Coffin Invite

Hello!

I have a new set of Halloween images for you today, There’s a cut files set including a Skull and Crossbones, a Coffin, a Witch on her Broomstick and The Grim Reaper. Other cut files include a border I’ve made with the Skull, I’ve turned the Witch into a circle sentiment piece and popped The Grim Reaper into a frame, I love how sinister he looks. I’ve also added a couple of digi circles with sentiments for you to print off, one with the Skull and the other with the Witch image. I hope there will be something there that could come in handy for you :)

Today I made a coffin shaped invite, I’m not having a Halloween Party but if I was I would so send out invites like this. I cut the front panel in core’dinations card and embossed a line just inside the outer edge using my score board then sanded to reveal the colour under the black surface. I pierced some holes and popped in some brads to mimic nails then printed ‘You’re Invited’ on some grey card and used in place of a name plate. To make my card base I simply welded 2 of the coffin shapes together and sized it slightly larger than my front panel.
