How Card Making Challenges Inspire Your Creativity

 Sometimes we all need a bit of inspiration when our crafty mojo isn't working well, and I have found card making challenges are a great way to kick start and focus your ideas.

On the weekend of 3rd October, it was World Card Making Day, and Mintay Papers held a series of challenges on their FB page. I joined in, but before I stuck my cards together, I decided to film my process, to show you how I made them.

Hope they give you some crafty ideas too!

Easy To Make Mintay Autumn Cookie Carton

 I had a lot of fun with this week's project - all measurements are in my video. 


This is a little cookie carton using Mintay Paper's Autumn Splendour 6x8 inch pad. You could easily change this up and put Christmas sweets, biscuits or gifts inside, but I continued with the Autumn feel of the images and added Tea sachets and Mini Cookies.

Hope you like them!

Fun and Festive Hunkydory Floating Bridge Cards

Hi Everyone!

Here is the third video in my 'Easy to Make' projects mini series using Crafting with Hunkydory magazine Issue 90. The images are so lovely in the free kit that I decided to create these Floating Bridge cards using a small piece of the acetate supplied. I think they are really effective and, once again, use very little of the card stock to achieve great results. All instructions are in my video. 


Hope you like them!
