Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

If you love fun folds, then today’s project is definitely for you!

I’m excited to share a Christmas card featuring the beautiful Christmas Wishes Collection by Paper Rose Studio and a fun fold that adds an extra little surprise when the card is opened.

Fun-fold cards are always a favourite AND they don’t have to be difficult to make.  Once you’ve got the measurements and a few simple score lines sorted, this card comes together beautifully.

A Festive Christmas Favourite

For this project, I’ve used the Christmas Wishes Collection to create a traditional Christmas feel with plenty of festive details.  The patterned papers, coordinating colours and Christmas-themed elements make decorating the card so easy.

Of course, there’s plenty of room to add your own personal message inside — perfect for sending a special Christmas wish to someone you love.

Father’s Day Card | Wings & Wheels Card Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Father’s Day cards don’t have to be complicated to make a big impression!  Today I’m sharing a simple and easy Father’s Day card created with the Wings & Wheels Card Collection by Uniquely Creative. This design combines a few masculine textures, gears, vintage-inspired elements and patterned paper to create a card that feels detailed without requiring a lot of complicated steps.

The best part?  You can easily recreate this layout with supplies you already have in your craft room.  Swap the papers, dies, colours or embellishments to make it your own!

Supplies

Here’s what I used for this Father’s Day card:

  • Wings & Wheels Card Collection – Uniquely Creative
  • Wings & Wheels Creative Cuts – Uniquely Creative
  • Cogs Texture Die – Uniquely Creative
  • Midnight 12 x 12 Cardstock – Uniquely Creative
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio

Don’t have the exact supplies?  No problem!  This is one of those layouts where you can easily substitute what you have on hand.  Look through your stash for gears, vehicles, masculine patterns, texture dies or even scraps of coordinating cardstock.

Try changing the focal image to a motorbike, airplane, classic car, tools or anything else your Dad enjoys.  You could even make a birthday, retirement or masculine thank-you card using exactly the same basic layout.

Simple doesn’t mean boring.  By combining layers, texture, dimension and a strong focal image, you can create a card that looks intricate while actually being very easy to put together.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Digi Choosday | Polkadoodles Crafts | Christmas Card

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

Once again, it’s Digi Choosday time!

Our theme this week is “Get Organised for Christmas”!  To me, that means creating Christmas cards but it could be anything that you may do to get ready for Christmas!

I’ve created a cute little Christmas card with the cute Reindeer Dress Up Bella Christmas Bear Digital Stamp.

Bella has been coloured with Copic markers, using soft blending to add depth and warmth to her adorable blue reindeer suit.  I paired the image with the Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 3 to create a design that lets Bella remain the star of the card.  Isn’t she just the cutest in her little blue suit?

For the background, I used gentle ink blending to create a soft winter sky before adding tiny stars with a White Posca Pen.  Those little white dots add just the right amount of sparkle and help bring the scene to life.

Bella is all dressed up and patiently waiting for Santa to arrive.  She’s even remembered to have a carrot ready for Rudolph after his long journey on Christmas Eve!  It’s such a fun scene that captures the excitement and anticipation of Christmas night.

Page 1 | Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony | The Scrap Room

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’day Crafty Friends,

Today I’m sharing Page 1 of my 6 x 8 scrapbook album, created with the beautiful Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony 6 x 8 Paper Pad, paired with the coordinating 12 x 12 Vintage Basics Kit.

I love how easily these collections work together.  I love creating 6 x 8 pages & albums & are  perfect for building the foundation of a smaller-format scrapbook page, while the 12 x 12 Vintage Basics Kit gives me plenty of extra elements, patterns and layers to bring the page to life.

For this first page, I started by selecting one of the patterned papers from the 6 x 8 pad as my base.  I then added layers from the Vintage Basics Kit, creating a little bit of texture and dimension without making the page feel too busy.

The Timeless Harmony Chipboard Pieces were perfect for adding those finishing touches.  I love using chipboard on scrapbook pages because it instantly adds dimension and helps certain elements stand out.

I also tucked in a few pieces from the Journal Bits & Pieces pack.  These little pieces are so versatile and are a great way to add extra detail, journaling space and those lovely vintage touches that make a page feel finished.

For this first page, I wanted to keep the design layered, vintage and slightly eclectic, while still allowing the gorgeous papers to remain the star of the page.  Mixing the different sizes and textures gives the layout plenty of interest and makes the smaller 6 x 8 format really fun to work with.

I’m really happy with how Page 1 came together and I can’t wait to continue building the rest of the album using this gorgeous collection.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

The Paper Funday Challenge | Fun Fold

Published on by Vicky Wright6 Comments

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for another Paper Funday Challenge and this month we’re adding a little something extra to the twist in the way of a fun/fancy fold!  The challenge is sponsored by Altenew & Whimsy Stamps.

For my project, I reached for the gorgeous Daisy Art Junk Journal by Stamperia and had so much fun turning it into a fun fold.  I love how a fancy fold can take a simple card or paper project and make it feel that little bit more special — there’s always an element of surprise when you open it!

The daisy-themed papers were perfect for this project, with their pretty florals and cheerful colours bringing the whole design to life.  I added coordinating die cuts and embellishments to complement the papers while letting those beautiful daisies remain the star of the show.

Product –

  • Daisy Art Junk Journal – Stamperia
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Crumb Cake Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!

So grab your favourite papers, get creating and have some creative fun with us!

We can’t wait to see your projects!
