Birthdays – Vicky Wright

G’Day Friends,

Once again we have another challenge over at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. This month’s sponsors are Lawn Fawn & Newton’s Nook. I went with the Twist – Fun with Stencils!

Whether you’re into clean geometric shapes or whimsical hand-cut designs, stencils are a fantastic way to add personality and precision to your paper projects.

For my take on the challenge, I grabbed some Basic White Cardstock, a fun brand new Stencil, Ink Pad & Blending Brush. Once my stencilling was all done, I grabbed a Die that I think worked perfectly with the stencil, cut 2 different sizes in 2 colours & layered them over the top, trimming off any excess overlapping the sides.

The card was finished off by randomly adding splatters with a Black Posca Pen, layered onto Charcoal Black Cardstock & then to a Basic White Smooth Base Card.

Stencils are a low-pressure, high-reward way to experiment – perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike. So dig out those stencils, get messy, and show us what you create!

G’Day Friends,

I am continuing with the Rustic Spring Collection for our Anything Goes Saturday where Robbie & I share & create with what we have sitting in our craft room. I love this as it gives me the opportunity to play & create with whatever!

There’s something timeless and soothing about the raw beauty of nature – sun-dappled fields and spring’s early blooms awakening the earth. The Rustic Spring Collection captures that very essence, blending organic textures with delicate seasonal motifs to bring a warm, handcrafted feel to every creative project.

Be sure to check out Robbie’s project.

A Fresh Take on Rustic

The Rustic Springs isn’t your typical rustic – it’s elegance wrapped in wildflower bouquets, faded wood grains and watercolor washes. Each sheet evokes a sense of nostalgia while remaining beautifully modern. Whether you’re a scrapbooker, cardmaker, journaler or DIY enthusiast, this collection will elevate your storytelling with heartfelt depth.

Design Details

The paper on the card front features a eclectic print from the Rustic Spring pack, evoking that charming farmhouse feel. I created a very simple cluster with a gorgeous handbag with a big white bow, along with a beautiful pair of shoes, again with big white bows, which sit on a Basic White Smooth punched circle with a Blue Sky Shimmer Cardstock stitched circle underneath. To finish it off, I added a layered a sentiment direct onto scrap Blue Sky Shimmer Cardstock followed by randomly scattered Clear Rhinestones.

Why Rustic Spring?

What I love most about the Rustic Spring Collection is it’s versatility – they blend seamlessly for both soft romantic looks and earthy, grounded designs. Whether you’re making cards, journals or home décor, this collection gives your crafts a cozy, handmade warmth.

Perfect for Any Occasion

This card is ideal for spring birthdays, thank-you notes or just a sweet hello to brighten someone’s day. The natural hues and textures make it timeless and heartfelt.

If you haven’t yet explored the Rustic Spring Collection, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s a breath of fresh air and creativity – just like the season itself.

Until next time – stay inspired and keep creating!
