A little while ago I shared a card using one of my script designs, and so many of you asked where you could get it… so here it is! I’ve created a beautiful collection of 20 script papers in different colourways, all brought together in one elegant pack. 💛

This is a truly timeless collection, suitable for any style or shape of card and perfect for both male and female makes. The script adds subtle interest without overpowering your design, making it ideal for clean and simple cards, layered designs, and everything in between. 💛

I’ve designed the papers in landscape format because, in my opinion, it not only works beautifully for fancy fold cards, but it also allows me to get more cards out of a single sheet. They’re just as easy to use for standard folds, die cutting, matting and layering, or trimming down to suit your project. Elegant, versatile, and endlessly usable — this is a collection you’ll reach for time and time again. 💛

💡 Let’s talk value for a moment

My designer landscape backing papers usually sell for at least 50p per sheet, and many are £1 per sheet. With this collection, you’re getting 20 coordinating papers for just £5 — that’s only 25p per sheet! And because this is a digital download, you can use it over and over again for life, on as many cards and projects as you like — no running out, no saving it “for best”. 💛

I can’t wait to see what you create with it ✂️💛

Here are some of the samples made so far with this collection and what i used on them:

I absolutely loved making this card — it was a real labour of love and was created over a few sessions! The Foamiran flowers and clay leaves needed to be made in advance to give them time to settle and dry before the full construction could begin, which made the process really rewarding as everything came together.

I know a few of you will ask about the die I used… well, it’s not a die would you believe!? This piece was cut on my Cameo. It’s not perfectly flawless, but a few strategically placed gems cleverly hide the small tears and imperfections.

The flowers were coloured with pale blue Deco Chalk Ink, with the darker blue added using PanPastel for depth and dimension. The yellow, pink, and green cards were all created in the same way with the same materials.

I love Panpastels they are so lovely to use if you would like to check them out you can find lots of different colours here on amazon here

You can find the Panpastels amazon store here for all of their mediums, applicators here

This card was such a joy to make, and I hope it inspires you to try layering textures and playing with what you have in your own stash for a truly unique finished piece.

Simple Bookmark - i love these tassels - Laura sent them for me to use aren't they fab!?

My favourite Adhesives:

I usually use my Crafters Companion tape runner but they aren't available at the moment so i have been using these and i am really happy with them for the price - https://amzn.to/4qFJZPx if you don't know this brand i have been using them since 2008 but they are better known for their awesome titanium scissors

My hot glue gun - i love a glue gun i have 3 at the moment - a small hot glue, a small cool glue gun and a large one i use for flower arranging and home decor project. With glue guns i have had many over the years as well as glue pots and to be honest i like the little cheap and cheerful ones... there are conditions with this though, they have to have a metal tip (to help prevent dribble) it has to compatible with 7mm glue sticks as these are easy to get and and pretty cheap And it has to have a metal stand. I got mine when i moved back from Canada and it is a little work horse, i use it every day. The newer ones are a different colour but it is the same thing. You can find the newer version which also comes with glue sticks and a bag here: https://amzn.to/45A6HQX

**** top tip - I used to always worry about leaving my glue gun on, but now I use smart plugs on all of my craft room devices. It means I can quickly check — or switch things off — from my iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, wherever I am, without having to trek back upstairs just to double-check.

Vellum glue - i use this tape runner - https://amzn.to/4pDFC6Q

3d Glue Gel - i love the Craft Artist and Pinflair brands i am usually guided on price at the time

Craft Artsist 3dGlue Gel - https://amzn.to/4posBO3

Pinflair 3d Glue Gel - https://amzn.to/3N71M3H

Wet Glue - Acid Free precision glue for small intricate die cuts - https://amzn.to/3N71M3H

Wet glue - super tacky for larger areas - https://amzn.to/3YXfU22

Foam Pads for dimension -
