All things bright and beautiful

Hi everyone. Today I'm continuing the Spring theme with an 8x8 card made from the All Things Bright and Beautiful Hunkydory kit, which is free with the current issue of Papercraft Essentials.



I layered up printed cardstock and paper from the kit before adding the large topper and sentiment.

I cut a butterfly from the paper and added it along with some pink gems.

It is such a pretty kit and using it has really ignited my mojo. Sometimes it's good to go back to basics with a products you love! Cathy x

Pretty Pastels

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. I have had a terrible cold this weekend so haven't done very much at all. Hopefully it is on the way out now.

I did cheer myself up a bit by making a pretty pastel card for the Bubbly Funk blog today. You can see the post here.


I created both the background and smaller panel for the card by blending Shaded Lilac and Spun Sugar Distress Inks through Bubbly Funk stencil #9, which is available to buy from the Bubbly Funk shop. I always blend onto Crafter's Companion Watercolour card.


The small butterfly topper and sentiment come from the Hunkydory kits which was free with the latest issue of Papercraft Essentials magazine. The gems are also by Hunkydory, as is the pink card, but I have no idea where the ribbon is from.


I do really love the finished card and it was lovely to bring a little bit of Spring into my crafting, even if it is a bit early.

Thank you for visiting and commenting today, I really do appreciate it x

Christmas memories

Hi everyone. A big thank you to everyone who commented on my last blog- it is so lovely to know that I still have fabulous followers despite being such a bad blogger.

Today I have another Bubbly Funk project. This time it is a Christmas scrapbook layout, made using Ephemera and a stencil from the website (full details here). The papers used are from Trimcraft.


Nothing beats the excitement of Christmas Eve and Christmas morning for children- putting out carrots for the reindeer then the first glimpse of the presents Father Christmas has left. Isaac was so excited to see that he had got the 150cm bear he was desperate for (he really loves it!). What the photos don't show are that Samuel had been awake since midnight and that none of us had much sleep that night!

I will be round to visit your blogs later and I'm looking forward to catching up with your projects. Cathy x
