Release of new Cupcakes and Roses craft supplies

My new range of Cupcakes and Roses craft supplies is now ready for release!  The first product I am launching is this cardmaking kit...

This pretty kit contains card blanks, envelopes, papers, motifs and embellishments to make at least 5 cards.  With a bright, spring feel this kit would be great for making cards for a range of occassions; birthdays, thank you, get well soon, Mother's day and more!

I have designed all of the papers and motifs in this kit using a combination of pencil, pen, watercolours and digital art.  There are 5 backing papers which feature spots, stripes, tiny flowers and a rose pattern inspired by vintage teasets and floral fabrics.  Also included are border strips and motifs with cute cupcakes and a selection of messages.

For a little inspiration on the many cards and gift tags you could make with the kit here is a simple card I made...

I used a cream linen textured card blank, 2 of the spotty backing papers layered with a 'Happy Birthday' border strip, raspberry cupcake motif and bright pink ribbon.

This kit is available to buy from my Etsy supplies shop here.

Look out for the next release tomorrow!

Cupcakes and Roses

Last week I shared a sneak peak of my latest project so I thought I'd post an update...

I have been designing backing papers and motifs for a new cardmaking kit with a cupcakes and roses theme.  Each design starts as a hand drawn image - made from a combination of pen, watercolour pencils and watercolour paint.  I scanned these and finished them digitally...

The papers are all designed now and I am finalising the other elements to the kit; card blanks and embellishments.  I'm really pleased with how this kit is going and looking forward to when it's all finished and ready to list in my shop! :)

Button Badges

New button badges :D each badge measures 1 inch and was pressed by minepress.etsy.com using my designs.  I'll be adding them to the shop soon!

Cupcakes to craft with...

I am slowly building my collection of digital collage sheets in my crafting supplies shop...  Here are two new additions both on the theme of cupcakes.

The cakes start as pencil sketches which are tidied up and drawn over in pen then scanned.  Next I coloured the line drawings digitally and added the backgrounds, also drawn digitally.  I love playing around with the colours and patterns until I'm happy with the set :)
