The colour palette really makes this collection adaptable for almost any occasion.

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

I have a new Paper Collection & project to share with you today.  Check out this lovely paper by Lindy Lou Paper Crafts.  Another small Australian company.

There’s something timeless about daisies – they’re cheerful, soft and full of charm, making them perfect for Mother’s Day crafting.  The Daisy Whispers Paper Collection captures that feeling beautifully, with delicate florals, pastel tones and lovely coordinating elements that make cardmaking feel effortless.

If you enjoy fussy cutting and clean, simple layouts, this collection is a dream to work with. Let’s create a heartfelt Mother’s Day card that’s elegant without being complicated.

Why Daisy Whispers?

The Daisy Whispers Collection is all about gentle beauty – think soft yellows, blush pinks and calming neutrals paired with dainty floral patterns.  It’s ideal for creating cards that feel warm, thoughtful, and personal.

One of the standout features?  The floral sheets are perfect for fussy cutting, giving you endless custom embellishments straight from your paper pad.

Supply List –

  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Pink Raspberry Shimmer Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Daisy Whispers Collection – Lindy Lou Paper Crafts

Tips for Beautiful Results

  • Take your time fussy cutting – Small scissors make all the difference for clean edges.

Card #4 | Ultraviolet Delight Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Before we get into today’s project, I thought I would let you know that I now have a separate page for all my free card & project tutorials.  It is a work in progress so please bear with me.  You can find the ones already uploaded HERE.

Once again I have another project to share with you created with the lovely & bright Ultraviolet Delight Collection by Uniquely Creative.

With its rich purples, dreamy gradients and coordinated ephemera, this collection makes it incredibly easy to create stunning cards in minutes.

Why Ultraviolet Delight?

The Ultraviolet Delight Collection stands out for its bold yet elegant color palette – think deep violets, soft lavenders and pops of contrasting accents.  The designs do most of the heavy lifting for you, which means less time fussing over composition and more time enjoying the creative process.

The included ephemera pack is especially useful.  From floral clusters to sentiment pieces, you’ll have everything you need to build dimension and interest without needing extra supplies.

Supplies used to create today’s project –

  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Blackberry Sorbet Shimmer A5 Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Ultraviolet Delight Card Collection – Uniquely Creative

This layout is perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.  It’s versatile, quick and works beautifully with almost any patterned paper.

Tips for Success

  • Stick to a colour story – The collection is already coordinated, so pick 2–3 dominant tones per card.
  • Use Foam Tape – Adding dimension between layers instantly elevates your design.
  • Don’t overthink placement – A slightly imperfect cluster often looks more natural and artistic.
  • Batch your cards – Cut multiple backgrounds and panels at once to speed up your workflow.
  • Scored lines – add a couple of scored lines top & bottom of the pattern paper panel.  This adds more interest to your card

Final Thoughts

Cardmaking doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.  With the Ultraviolet Delight Paper Collection and a simple layout, you can create a whole stack of cards that look polished and thoughtfully designed.

Whether the occasion may be, this approach keeps things easy while still delivering that wow factor.

Ultraviolet Delight Collection | One for the Purple Lover

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

There’s something undeniably magical about purple – it holds both calm and creativity, softness and strength.  This collection, Ultraviolet Delight, is a small celebration of that feeling, wrapped into a series of All Occasions cards.

Each card began with layers of pattern paper in varying shades of violet, lavender and deep plum.  Mixing tones creates a quiet richness – never too bold, but never flat.  It’s the kind of palette that feels both thoughtful and expressive, perfect for any occasion.

The Ephemera pieces were actually fussy cut from one of the paper pieces from the Collection.  I love it when we have so many options to choose from.  They always complement rather than compete – soft florals, faded labels, delicate textures.

The Ribbon adds a finishing touch that feels almost like a signature – softly tied, slightly imperfect and full of charm.  It brings everything together with a gentle sense of care.

This collection is for the purple lovers – the ones who find beauty in depth, in softness, in quiet expression.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

Easy Card Layout | Washi Tape

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

It’s been so long since I’ve played with Washi Tape that I couldn’t resist creating a simple card with the gorgeous Heart & Soul Kit Collection by Uniquely Creative.  It also includes the gorgeous & oh so pretty Washi Tape.

There’s something so satisfying about making a beautiful handmade card without overcomplicating the process.  Today I’m sharing one of my favourite go-to layouts – perfect for beginners or when you just want a relaxing, creative session.  It uses simple elements like light scoring and Washi Tape to add charm without the fuss.

This design is all about balance and layering.  Start with a standard folded card base, add your Washi Tape or even Pattern Paper & then score a couple of lines either side.  This subtle detail instantly adds structure and makes your card feel more polished.

Focal Point

Keep your focal point simple.  A small sentiment, stamped or printed, works perfectly.  Place it slightly overlapping the washi tape area to tie everything together.  If you like, add a tiny embellishment – like a sticker, die cut, or even a small hand-drawn element.

This layout shines because of its simplicity, so resist the urge to overdecorate.  A bit of light scoring, a few strips of washi and a clean focal point are all you need.  The result is a card that feels thoughtful and stylish without taking hours to create.

Supplies

  • Heart & Soul Kit Collection – Uniquely Creative
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Pink Lemonade Shimmer A5 Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Super Day Sentiment Stamp – Paper Rose Studio
  • Linen White Cardstock – My Stash

Whether you’re crafting for a special occasion or just sending a little note to brighten someone’s day, this easy layout is one you’ll come back to again and again.

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!
