Mountains or Coast | The Paper Funday Challenge | May

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for a brand new challenge over at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog!  Our sponsors for May are Gina K Designs & Pajama Crafter Stamps.  The Twist is Mountains or the Coast.

If going for the twist like me, be inspired by the calming waves of the seaside or the fresh air of mountain landscapes.  Think sandy beaches, ocean animals, pine trees, scenic views – or anything that brings those coastal or mountain vibes to life!

Need Some Inspiration?

  • Create a beach scene with soft blues and sandy textures
  • Design a mountain card with earthy tones and bold patterns
  • Use an ocean animal as the star of your project or as a fun accent

There are so many ways to interpret this theme, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Be sure to join us for this month’s challenge – we love seeing your creativity and celebrating your unique ideas.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Pooh Bear | Hundred Acre Collection | Kat Scrappiness

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

I’m back today with another Kat Scrappiness Creative Affiliate project and this one might be extra special because it features the sweetest little Pooh Bear.  I mean… who doesn’t love that honey-loving cutie?

I wanted this card to feel warm, soft and cozy — like a big hug in paper form — so I mixed a little colouring, pattern papers and lots of die-cut shapes to bring it all together.

Colouring the Image

I started by colouring Pooh with my alcohol markers.  These are my favourite for smooth blends and soft shading.

I kept the colours classic:

  • golden yellows for his fur
  • that signature red shirt
  • soft shadows to add depth and dimension

Supplies – Kat Scrappiness

Finishing Touches

Once everything was layered up, this card just felt so cheerful and nostalgic.  Pattern paper + colouring + dies is truly one of my favourite combos — and Pooh just makes everything extra sweet.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope this project inspires you to pull out your markers and play with your paper stash.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Sweet Piglet | Simple Layers with a Handmade Touch

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

I have another Kat Scrappiness project to share with you today, created with the fun Hundred Acre Quokka Stamp Set, Pattern Papers & Craft Dies

This card is all about soft colour, texture and charm.  Adorable Piglet takes centre stage, coloured with alcohol markers for smooth blends and gentle shading that really brings the character to life.  Keeping the colouring fairly simple lets the image shine without overpowering the design.

I paired Piglet with the matching patterned paper to add interest and a bit of playful contrast. Mixing patterns is a great way to add depth while still keeping the card flat and easy to post. The matching sentiment stamp finishes the card perfectly, tying the whole design together with a clean and polished look.

To add dimension without bulk, I die cut the bees from the matching Hundred Acre Bee Hive background Craft Die.  This gives more lift to the panel and sentiment.  Die-cut shapes instantly elevate a card and make even a simple layout feel more finished and professional.

This is a lovely design for everyday cardmaking – quick to assemble, easy to personalise and perfect for using up favourite papers.

Supply List

A very cute piglet, soft colouring and a few simple layers – sometimes that’s all you need to create a card that feels truly special.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Birthday Quokka Card | Fun, Cute, Colourful & Easy to Create

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Today I’m sharing a sweet birthday quokka card created as part of my Kat Scrappiness Creative Affiliate Team project.  It’s perfect when you want something cute, quick and a little bit special.   The star of the show is this happy little quokka, coloured with alcohol markers for smooth blends and soft shading.

The smiling quokka steals the show, paired with a little present to set the birthday scene and a bright mix of patterned paper for extra fun & tones the colouring down a little.

To keep things playful, I paired the image with patterned paper and an easy fun fold.   This fold adds interest without being complicated – great for using up paper scraps and perfect for beginner or time-crunched crafters.  A small present on the side along with the birthday sentiment finishes the card and really sells the birthday vibe.

This is one of those projects that is perfect for batch cardmaking.

Supply List

Simple, cheerful and guaranteed to make someone smile—because honestly, everything is better with a quokka.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Poinsettia Gift Card Holder | Design Team Project | Kat Scrappiness

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Today I’m sharing a quick and festive design team project for Kat Scrappiness featuring the small poinsettia craft dies and gorgeous pink faux glitter paper.  This project was so much fun and came together beautifully with just a few supplies.

I created a gift card holder that also works as a money holder, making it perfect for birthdays, Christmas or any occasion where you want to give a little something extra.  The poinsettia die adds an elegant focal point, while the pink faux glitter paper gives it a modern sparkle without the mess of real glitter.

What I love most about this project is its versatility.  Simply change the sentiment or colour palette and you have a handmade holder suitable for celebrations all year long.  It’s a great way to dress up a gift card, slip it inside a handmade card and make it feel extra special.

Thanks for stopping by—I hope this project inspires you to try poinsettia dies in unexpected colours for your next handmade creation!

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!
