Easy Card Design | Words of Wisdom Collection | Paper Rose Studio
G’Day Crafty Friends,
Sometimes the simplest cards become the most meaningful — especially when they’re created from pieces you already have on hand. Today’s card design is a wonderful reminder that even scrap paper can be transformed into something beautiful with a little creativity and the right finishing touches.
Using the gorgeous Words of Wisdom Collection along with the Embossed Die Cuts, this project is quick, easy and perfect for making the most of your leftover supplies.
A Simple Design with Big Impact
One of my favourite ways to use scrap paper is by combining coordinating patterns into clean, layered designs. The papers in the Words of Wisdom collection work beautifully together, making it easy to mix patterns, textures and colours without overthinking the layout.
Final Thoughts
This easy card design proves that beautiful handmade cards don’t need complicated techniques or lots of supplies. With a scrap from the Words of Wisdom Collection, Embossed Die Cuts, you can create something thoughtful, creative and uniquely yours.
So before you throw away those leftover paper pieces, see what inspiration they might become.
Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Ultraviolet Delight Card Collection | Easy Fun Fold
G’Day Friends,
There are some collections that you reach for once… and then immediately want to play with all over again. The Ultraviolet Delight Card Collection is one of those collections. Even though I am not a purple person, the rich purples, layered florals and elegant details make it so easy to create cards that feel both striking and effortless.
It’s one of those collections that works beautifully for birthdays, thank you cards, thinking of you cards and even just-because happy mail.
Today I’m sharing another one using this beautiful collection, including an easy card layout and a simple fun fold that comes together quickly but still feels special.
If you love cards with a little extra interest but don’t want anything complicated, this easy fun fold is a great option.
The colour palette really makes this collection adaptable for almost any occasion.
Supplies –

Final Thoughts
I’ve absolutely loved playing again with the Ultraviolet Delight Card Collection. The colours are stunning, the designs layer beautifully and the projects come together so easily.
I hope this idea inspires you to create a few cards of your own.
Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Polkadoodles Crafts Challenge | Father’s Day
G’Day Crafty Friends,
This week’s challenge is all about Dad where we’re celebrating Father’s Day!
Digi Choosday runs each Tuesday over on the Digichooseday Blog, so there’s always something new to spark your creativity. I’d absolutely love for you to join in.
Even though we don’t have Father’s Day until September in Oz, in other parts of the world Father’s Day is drawing close. To me, this little gnome jumped out to me for Father’s Day! Don’t you just love the hat? What about that long lovely beard!
In saying that, the digi image could be used for all occasions & all year around. I’ve skipped a sentiment of the card front as I wanted the image to be the “star”!
The papers are from the Gnome Men Dad/Father Digi Papers. I’ve printed 2 of the pieces prior to chopping them down to size & layering each onto a piece of Blue Cardstock.
The Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome for Men digi has been printed onto Express-It Cardstock prior to being coloured with Copics.
I fussy cut a couple of stars from the same digi papers to create my own embellishment. The beer mugs at the bottom of his feet have been printed once again, coloured with Copics prior to being fussy cut & arranged & adhered to the card front.
I was going to colour the image with earthy colours but I wanted it to bright & happy. The colours were taken from the colours in the papers I’ve used. Don’t forget to use your pattern papers to help you with your card making & selecting colours.
Easy card, easy layout! Cards for the male don’t have to be fussy!
