  • The Papers used on the card above and the below 2 cards are from some of my new paper collections i am working on - they will be launching soon so please stay tuned - i have been working creating some new faux textures to help make your cards and projects pop!
  • The topper sheet was printed onto my favourite 200gsm photo paper which is available on amazon here: https://amzn.to/40r6LAB
  • The flowers were made using a combination of punched and die cut flowers - i had these ready made in my "made up" flower stash box


Adhesives:



  • The gold card above is my favourite Crafters Companion non-shed glitter card which you can find on amazon here: https://amzn.to/3C0qYDB - i used the Solar Gold for this card but there are lots of colour choices available under the same link - the Lilac is sooooo pretty and i think it is really good value for money for 10 sheets
  • The wide polka dot ribbon is from my Friends Craft Shop - Crafts of Thirsk she has an amazing collection of ribbons and trims. I love going in to pick out bits for my upcoming projects.
  • The backing paper is one of my new ones coming soon

  • The backing papers were all printed onto my favourite backing paper printer paper - it is a super smooth 160gsm and is available on amazon here: https://amzn.to/3BSogQE




I created this backing paper to use with this topper sheet and have enjoyed using it so much i am going to re-do it in a collection of colours which will be available soon so please stay tuned. I love the faux texture look! (you would think it had been embossed)





Non- shed blue glitter card

The backing paper is from the Mixed Media Papers Sets you can find it on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/39Lgf




Laura used the large gingham print paper for this one you can find it on the website - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/KwEjt
