2 Engagements in 1 month!

There must be love in the air because recently not one of my friends but two popped the question!

The first were Chris and Jen. Chris got a job in Japan for a year and Jen flew out to be with him for a while. Chris proposed and Jen said yes!

The next couple to get engaged were Dawn and Pete. They have been together for 10 years and the morning after their anniversary (because the day of their anniversary was April Fool's Day!) Pete gave Dawn a beautiful vintage ring. 

Love is most definitely in the air!

Valentines Day prep

It's only January and I already have two orders for Valentine's Day cards! Last year was the busiest and most exciting year for Purrfect Papercraft and it's looking like 2015 is going to be just as busy and just as much fun :) I can't tell you how thrilled I am about that!

Anyway, I have made two lovely pink-themed cards and thought I'd take a moment to blog about them.

The first card I made was my first attempt at using my new alphabet die in my new die-cutting machine! Oh man am I besotted with that machine or what?! Best thing to ever grace my craft room :D I used a Tattered Lace embossing folder to add roses to the corner and a sticker which was part of a set I think I bought in Hobbycraft years ago. Makes me feel good when I get to use up supplies which have been lingering about for a while waiting for the perfect project to come along.

This next card was made using paper doilies I bought a while ago in Hobbycraft but they no longer stock them. I've just had a quick browse on the internet and can't even find the company! Mysterious! There are lots of different brands which produce their own anyway and you can buy dies to make your own if you have a die-cutting machine. I used a locks and keys die and some of the letters which were cut when I used the die for my first card to write "heart". The alphabet stickers were from Hobbycraft a while ago - again it was nice having a suitable project to use them :)

Both background papers came from K & Company 12" x 12" paper pads.

I am looking forward to making lots more pretty, love-filled cards! If you want to inquire about an order then comment below or email me at purrfect-papercraft@hotmail.co.uk.

Love is in the air.

In a recent crafting spree I made the first engagement card I have made in years! It's a simple design but I really like it. I've even managed to source some square cellophane bags that fit so I can package all my cards securely - hoorah!

I like the craft cards as a base, I think they make a nice background. I just bought some kraft Christmas papers which which will be making their way onto cards in the very near future. Watch this space!

PS - This card is available in my shop. Don't forget I am all about one-offs so when it's gone, it's gone!

Mrs. & Mrs!

Today my friend from teacher training Louise got married to her fiancee Kelly! I am currently getting ready to go to the Reception but thought I would quickly stop by and share with you the card I have made for them. Their wedding theme is vintage with lace, cream and dusty pink so I tried my best to make a card that would match.

What do you think? I bought the dresses from Ebay but everything else I already had in my stash :) I had an idea of how it wanted to turn out and I think this exceeds my own expectations! The butterflies definitely finish it off, it looked a bit plain without them. I hope the girls like it! Well, I'd better finish getting ready and have something to eat. See you later!! x

When 2 say "I do"

Today I sat in a beautiful church and watched my friend get married to his beautiful bride, it was lovely! I designed a card expecially for them so I thought I would share it with you.

Just underneath the hearts I have the bride and grooms initials, they just catch the light and give a little bit of interest to the card without taking away from the design too much. It was a lovely day and so nice to catch up with some friends :)
