Cards for Budding Musician’s

This week we were tasked with creating a card using the Tic Tac Toe grid, I chose the middle line - Birds, Rhinestones and Flowers and made it into a New Baby Card. For the female bird I've used one on the New 2024-2026 incolors - Pretty in Pink yes I know a returning colour that I've sadly missed. The other 4 colours are fabulous too and I can't wait to play with them. For the inside I used one of the new core colours Lemon Lolly,...
Easy 3D Cutest Cow Gift Box Packaging

The gift box was easy to decorate and super easy to make, I thought it would be a great swap. Having measured them, using my maths skills worked out that you could get 3 packages from 1...
