Festive Grunge Papers

 


Hello lovely crafters!

I hope you’re all having a wonderfully creative day. I was asked if I could create some grunge style backgrounds to complement the Festive Friends cardmaking sheets, and I couldn’t resist the challenge! 🎨 After all, what better way to bring out the charm of our adorable festive characters than with some stunning, atmospheric backgrounds?


Inspired by the vintage charm of wooden slats and the rustic elegance of distressed textures, I’ve designed a selection of Festive Grunge backgrounds. Here’s what you can expect:


✨ A rustic, distressed feel with weathered wooden slats as the base
✨ Rusty red, gold, and bronze snowflakes, subtly layered for a magical touch
✨ Gorgeous watercolor effects and bursts of alcohol inks to add depth and texture
✨ A soft sprinkling of snowflakes, because what’s more festive than that? ❄️


These backgrounds are perfect for pairing with the Festive Friends Collection or any of your holiday crafting projects. Whether you’re making cards, scrapbook pages, or even mixed media crafts, these designs will add a unique and cozy touch to your creations.


Best of all, they’re just 69p each! 


🎉 Why not pop over and take a look? You can find them on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/search?q=festive+grunge


If you would like to take a look at the Festive Friends while you are there you can find these here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/search?q=festive+friends


I can’t wait to see how you use these backgrounds in your projects. Be sure to share your creations in the Facebook group or tag me on social media! 🥰

Happy crafting xo

April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day. Although I hung up the snips from day-to-day shop life quite a while ago, my love for flowers and plants has never gone away. I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding. Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
