DIY Hello Card


Sometimes it's nice to just send a card to say Hello, rather than waiting for a special occasion. With that in mind I decided to create this gorgeous Hello card using the Maggie Holmes Carousel paper & ephemera pack.



To make this card you will need
  • Maggie Holmes Carousel Fun Fair Papers
  • Maggie Holmes Carousel Ephemera Pack
  • Gold glitter card
  • 5" x 7" card blank
  • Paper cutter
  • Double sided tape

To start making the card you will need to cut a 5" x 7" rectangle out of the cream & gold pattern paper and stick this to your card base using double sided tape.

Next cut out a 6" x 4" rectangle from the yellow floral paper and 6" x 2" rectangle of the pink pattern paper.

Stick the patterned gift tag from your ephemera pack to the cream & gold paper and then layer the two rectangles you cut over the top (refer to picture for placement).

Now cut out your 'hello' sentiment from the gold card, I used my Cricut Explore to cut this out (image #M364D7 - delete the frame layer so you are left with just the hello) Resize the hello so its 5.5" long, once cut add to your card using double sided tape.

Finish the card by adding on the ticket to give it that magical touch!

DIY Bloom & Wonder Ideas Notebook

If you are anything like me then you will always get the greatest craft inspiration when you have no way of noting it down! I always tend to get sparks of inspiration for card making and crafting at random times, and I always forget them. To try and conquer this I decided to make myself an Ideas notebook, a small notebook that will fit in my handbag to allow me to write down these random craft ideas, making sure I don't forget them (though I may look at them later and wonder what the hell I was thinking). After a quick look through the Cricut Design Space I found a notebook shape that looked perfect, small size and easy to remove and add more pages. I decided to make the notebook using the First Edition Bloom & Wonder paper pad I had recently received from Trimcraft, it is gorgeous and I love just flicking through the paper pad so thought it might make a good inspiration sparker.

Llama Love

What is not to love about llamas? I love using different animals in my crafting and my favourite is always to use llama, especially one in a party hat.  The below card was the first kinetic card I had made and the first card I posted to crafty instagram ! I decided a party llama would be the perfect animal character to use for this card, teamed with the First Edition Let's Celebrate paper.   After using my party llama to create my first kinetic card I decided to brand out and create a kenetic heart card using an otter. Below are shaker llama cards I have created, I love any card that you can interact with as it makes it so much more fun for the recipient.
