Docrafts Forever Friends Kraft Notes Thank You Card


Hi everyone😊

Today I am sharing a 'Thank you' card that I made for a friend:


All the designer papers and the main image are by Docrafts from their Forever Friends Kraft Notes Collection which came out years ago.  I have always loved this collection and made alot of cards using it.  

All the layers were trimmed to 1/16" using my Perfect Layers Tools.

The side panel was punched using a Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop edge punch.

The sentiment is by Stampin' Up! and came from their Looking Up Card Kit (still in their current catalogue).  Just as an aside:  this is a fantastic Card Kit and everything is included - even the ink pad - and the cards are perfect for guys.  You can find it HERE.   I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink which I thought matched the rest of the card's muted tones.  I diecut the sentiment using my Big Shot and a Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities die and layered it onto the pink designer paper which was diecut using a Spellbinders Scalloped Oval Nestabilities die.  I added a Kaisercraft Epoxy Sticker from their Candy collection.  I just looked online and it appears that they have been discontinued.....sigh.....wish I had bought more of them......

You can't tell from the photo but I added sparkle all over the heart using a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter brush

Lastly, I tied on some ribbon from my stash and popped the card front onto a white card base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.  Finished size is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" or approximately 14cm x 14cm.

I think you could use this image for many occasions - love, anniversary, Valentines, friendship.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Wellington Bear With Love Father's Day Card


Hi everyone,

Today is Father's Day in Australia - and this is the card that I made for my husband who is a great Dad to our daughter.


The card uses the Wellington Bear range brought out by Docrafts years ago. I loved this range so much when I saw it that I stocked up because the images are so perfect for guys.

All the designer papers are from this same range and were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools. The main image is diecut decoupage which makes it very easy to pop out the pieces and layer them together with dimensionals.   The sentiment is also from this range.

I punched some hearts using my Carl CP-8 Heart duo punch and added a wee bit of sparkle using my Wink of Stella clear glitter brush - alas not captured by my camera.

Here is a close-up so you can see the layers:


Lastly, I added some Darice kraft twine which has a sparkly dark chocolate thread running through it which looks gorgeous in real life.  From memory, I bought this twine from Riot Art and Craft.

We are having a quiet day for Father's Day as we are still in a Stage 4 Lockdown here in Victoria - but the weather is beautiful and sunny which is very cheerful and perfect for going for a walk.  It is so nice to see our Spring bulbs out in flower and to see new leaves on the trees.  

I have made heaps of cards in the past 2 weeks including starting my Christmas cards which is the earliest I have ever started - but I have finished all the birthdays for the year so I figured I may as well start.  

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
