Birthday Bots!

Look what has just landed on my desk today! Issue 114 of Papercraft inspirations magazine, featuring some awesome robot cards designed by yours truly!

The cards and set tag are made using the lovely illustrations of Naomi Hocking, all of which are available to download for FREE from the Papercraft inspirations website.

The magazine is on sale June 4th, so get it while you can. Also in this issue are fabulously zingy marigold cards, 10 inspirations for using cork, and a masterclass on quilling. Plus don't forget the free gift of a Milton & Co Découpage Card Kit. What's not to love, right?

Happy crafting everyone.

p.s. keep your eyes open for a tasty treat in the following issue...

Thank you. Graçias. Merci. Danke.

Just 4 different ways of saying thank you. How about 4 more ways?

I was recently commissioned for a set of 4 thank you cards for the wonderful digital magazine, Gathered by Mollie Makes. So if you fancy giving hand-cut cards a try, simply download the PDF from the Mollie Makes website and grab yourself a sharp scalpel. And while you're at it, take a look at how you can get weekly craft inspiration from Gathered on your iPad by clicking here.

I would love to hear how you get on. Happy crafting!

My house, in the middle of...

...well, Tesco. The Tesco Technology guide to be precise.

This is another of my super-secret, can-finally-reveal-it projects that I had been working on. Seems like forever since I last posted. It's not that I haven't been busy (because I have!) just that I've had to keep my lips sealed about what I was doing.

So here's the little house I made. OK it's not so little. Its base is about A3 in size and took quite some time to make. The basic brief: a house with different items of wireless technology in each of the rooms/garden all made from card.

And here it is in the Tesco Technology Guide:

And while I was at it, I whipped up a couple of radio masts as well (as you do):

So there's no wonder all my crafting time disappeared before Christmas!
