My next “New From” concept have just been uploaded to craftsuprint – Wave Card Kits!

I call them wave cards because of the wavy edges along the top and bottom of the base card, and also because of the outline of the main image in the centre of the card.

Wave cards are very simple to make. Instructions are included in the kit. The kit contains four sheets: card base, insert, decoupage topper sheet and pyramid topper sheet. You choose whether to add decoupage or pyramid layers to the main image. The pyramid & decoupage sheets contain matching sentiments.

Below is just a small selection of the Wave Card Kits that I have for sale. Click the pictures to go to the product page on craftsuprint. Each kit is available for only £2.00!

Happy Easter everybody!!

I hope you aren’t getting fed up of my Easter cards! Here are the last two… for this year!

I used of of my own Craft Robo templates for this card. I simply cut it from white card and then backed it with gold card which can be seen through the cutout of the flower. To finish, I added some gold peel-offs, which included a Happy Easter sentiment. The GSD template can be bought from craftsuprint: Flower GSD Card Template (cup198680_172).

I bet you can’t guess who this card is for! Again, I used my lovely Robo to cut the card template, and then backed the front with bright green card to draw attention to the letters. I stuck on some pretty red and yellow floral embellishments, then added a ribbon over the stems. Some simple Silver peel-offs completed the look! I wasn’t sure how to stick the flowers on, so I ended up using superglue. It actually worked really well! There was a brief moment where I thought I’d stuck my fingers to the card, but luckily I hadn’t! If you are interested in the GSD template that I used, it is available on craftsuprint: GRAN GSD Word Card (cup201109_172).

Hello! I hope you are all enjoying the glorious sunshine! I went out on a walk earlier with my boyfriend, which was lovely, but blimey it was hot!! I enjoyed a nice cold Calippo ice lolly when we got back! I’ve also been doing a lot of designing today for craftsuprint, and have uploaded about ten new sheets today. View all of my new craftsuprint sheets, or click the images below to see specific products. I won’t put all the new sheets on my blog, go to craftsuprint to see them all.

As promised, here are two more of my Easter cards that I made this year!

They were both cut using my own Craft Robo designs. I love using the Craft Robo for cards because you can get a really effective cutout shape in seconds, and nobody knows how you manage to cut so smoothly… unless you tell them your secret!

I decided to try something different with these cards and experiment with glitter. First, I backed the cards with some shiny gold card, and then added PVA glue to the eggs and then glittered like craaazy! I think they worked out well, especially when the sunlight shines on them and they really sparkle. The only thing is, I think I used a bit too much PVA glue as the card started to “buckle” a bit, which isn’t too good, but it isn’t really that noticable. I’m not sure the recipients will be too thrilled with them though as the glitter does have a tendency to fall off a little bit whenever the card is moved!! Whoops…

If you are interested in the Craft Robo templates for these cards, they can both be found at craftsuprint for only £1 each! The items are Easter Eggs GSD Card Template (cup200785_172) and Easter Basket GSD Card Template (cup198679_172).

Well, it’s that time of year again! I’ve been making Easter cards.

This is the card that I made to give to my dad. Both the card template and topper are designed myself, and available to buy on craftsuprint. The links to the items are: EASTER GSD Word Card (cup200846_172) & 2 Easter Bunny Card Toppers (cup38633_172) . This card was actually very simple to make. I started out by cutting the EASTER card template from white card, and then cutting the inner mat which is included in the download from blue card, and sticking it to the inside of the card. The inners mats are great because they allow you to put a colour behind the letters, whilst keeping the fancy edge in tact. I then cut out one of the bunny toppers and added it to the card, and decoupaged the layers on top.

This is the card that I made for my Grandad. Yeah… I like to make similar cards lol! This one used the other bunny rabbit topper on the sheet that I mentioned above, and also my Shapely Border GSD Template (cup186971_172). I cut the border from blue card using my Craft Robo, and then stuck it to a white A5 card. I then simply stuck on the bunny topper and some silver peel-offs.

I will be blogging about the rest of my Easter cards in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!

I have been REALLY busy this week making my brand new GSD Word Cards to upload to CraftsUPrint.

These are cards with a word down the right hand side, usually a family members such as MOTHER, with a fancy edge which follows the outline of the letters.

I’ve made and uploaded about thirty different designs so far, and they are available to buy for only £1 each!

Each template also comes with a seperate GSD file to allow you to cut a backing mat to go inside the card. This is so that you can cut from a different colour card and stuck it to the inside, which will allow you to put a different colour behind the letters and still keep the fancy edge design in tact.

Here are a few examples:

I have over eighty (yes, EIGHTY!) designs planned, so if you don’t see the word you want, bear with me! If you do have a certain word that you would like, leave me a comment below and I will make it for you!

Today I am going to walk you through how to create this lovely Merry Christmas to Ewe Pyramid Card.

I know it’s very early for Christmas, but I want to be a bit more prepared than I was last year, where I ended up making all my cards a week before Christmas…

You will need:

• Merry Christmas to Ewe! Pyramage sheet from CraftsUPrint, designed by Carol Clarke
• White pearlised A6 card
• Photo paper
• Scissors
• 3D foam pads
• Double sided tape
• Silver peel-offs

Instructions:

1. Print the sheet out onto Photo Paper.
2. Cut out the layers for one of the pyramids
3. Stick the main image onto your C6 card using double sided tape
4. Using 3D foam pads, stick the pyramid layers to the main image. I used every other layer, because I didn’t want the card to be too thick when finished.
5. Frame the image using silver border peel off, and add a Merry Christmas peel-off sentiment

Today I am going to walk you through how to create this lovely Wavy Side Stacker card.

You will need:

• Flowers in Vase Wavy Side Stacker sheet from CraftsUPrint, designed by Sarah Edwards (ME!)
• White pearlised DL card
• Photo paper
• Scissors
• 3D foam pads
• Double sided tape

Instructions:

1. Print the sheet out onto Photo Paper. Print it at 75% of the actual size, otherwise it won’t fit on the DL card.
2. Cut out all of the layers
3. Stick the main image onto your DL card using double sided tape
4. Using 3D foam pads, stick the wavy edges to the main images, starting with the largest image, to create a “stacked” effect
5. Stick on the “Happy Birthday” sentiment included on the sheet using 3D foam pads

Note: The artwork for this sheet was painted by the very talented Pamela West
