NORTH POLE FANCY FOLD CHRISTMAS CARD | FACEBOOK LIVE

On my latest Facebook Live, I created this fun and festive Christmas card using the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper. This pack is full of charming holiday images, and I couldn't resist using the cosy house, festive pup and sweet details to bring this scene to life. For the card base, I used a fancy fold variation where part of the card front is cut away. This creates a playful layered effect and lets the focal image shine. The Designer Series Paper really does all the work here, the patterns coordinate beautifully, and the little touches of sparkle add that extra Christmas magic. I love how the dog in the red jumper brings a touch of warmth and whimsy - carrying happy mail, no doubt! Paired with the bold Merry Christmas sentiment, this card is sure to brighten someone's festive season!

BE INSPIRED | MASCULINE MAKES

The Be Inspired Design Team is hopping today, and our theme this month is "Masculine Makes . " I've created a birthday card using the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper !  I love the rich colours and bold patterns in this Designer Series Paper - it's perfect for masculine projects, but still versatile enough for any occasion. I’m looking forward to seeing the creative ideas the rest of the team has come up with. Be sure to browse through and explore all the inspiring projects shared by this talented group. I paired the dark, textured background with a torn edge of the fun fruit design to add contrast and interest. The focal point is a simple cluster of fussy-cut images - a wine bottle, glass and a slice of lemon, layered on a stitched circle. A touch of Linen Thread and a clean sentiment finish off the design, giving it that relaxed yet stylish vibe that works so well for masculine cards. Hop along with us today and enjoy even more creative masculine makes from th...

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY FACEBOOK LIVE CARD

I love how a simple circle of butterflies can bring so much joy to a card. For this design, I chose bright, cheerful colours to create a rainbow effect, perfect for celebrating life's special moments. The textured background adds subtle detail without detracting from the butterflies, allowing them to shine as the main feature. The sentiment 'Time to celebrate' ties everything together, making this card ideal for birthdays, achievements or any happy occasion. Sometimes the simplest layouts are the most effective, and I can see myself creating this design in lots of different colour combinations.
