This one was for my sister - and another one made with the Heavenly Hummingbirds from Hunkydory's In Full Plume collection.
My place to share my makes, thoughts and general musings!! Mostly on crafting things - but occasionally on others!!
About Me

- Papercraft By Carole
- I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

The last of the Christmas Cards
These are the final two cards to share from my Christmas makes. They were batch made for my groups of friends, using my lovely new Tim Holtz Stamping Platform.
The first is a Crafter's Companion stamp called Floral Festivities. I stamped it with Crafter's Companion Harmony Waterproof Ink in Pebble, and used the Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle pen to "colour" it in. The base card is Centura Pearl Hint of Silver, and I used some gunmetal grey pearl card from my stash.
More Christmas Cards
While I love my Hunkydory, here are some of the other Christmas cards from this year's makes.
Firstly, this little bunch were using toppers from Hobby House.
And this lot were with an old Create and Craft set.
And all of these were with various Crafter's Companion goodies - some of which I have posted earlier in the year.
Break of Dawn
This was an anniversary card for my in-laws, using an ancient Kanban topper called (I think) Break of Dawn. It was a lovely collection with beautiful watercolours of sunrises.
I love the pastel colours of this one, and have teamed it with some blue Kanban patterned card, and I think the pink might be Craftwork Cards (or Hunkydory).
The letters are cut using Crafter's Companion Essentials Alphabet dies.
Happy crafting,

The Perfect Blend
Have a few remaining family birthday cards that I haven't shared, and hopefully I can get them all shared before the end of the year - which will be a first!
This one was for one of my stepdaughters, and is using Hunkydory Pick 'n' Mix "The Perfect Blend".
