Exciting new adventures

I've been caught up in a flurry of important and very exciting emails recently! Some of them to confirm my place at a local Christmas Fayre in a couple of weeks time, and some to start a brand new, slightly larger scale adventure. Want to hear about it? Oh OK then :)

I have always dreamed about selling my cards in a shop and one day being able to work part-time or even full-time on Purrfect Papercraft, instead of it just being a hobby when I have the time. One day I sent out a few emails to local shops, some which just sell cards, some which sell quirky gifts and pieces by local artists. One of the shops replied and we had a little back and forth about pricing and the shop's ethos. Anyway, I sent them a few photos of cards I have made and some information about myself and they were impressed and have made a deal with me!! Purrfect Papercraft is making its way into a real live shop! :) :) 

I've planned in some crafting time to make a few cards especially to take into Upside Down Presents and have all of my fingers and toes crossed that my cards sell and that Sean is happy to keep buying and selling :)

Busy busy!

I can honestly say I've made more cards over this week than I have in any other week since I satrted!! I've finally got my spark back, and am once again really excited about card making. I've been to the library and had a browse through some books, I've looked online for inspiration, and I dug out my stash of papers and got busy. I love all the cards I've made which makes a nice change coz there's been a fair few times when I have been unsure. So ... on to the peeks!

These cards are made with some Buzzcraft papers I got on Ebay. They came the day after I bought themm, and I turned them into cards the day after that! I have to go to the craft shop and get some wire for the stems, but other than that they're prettymuch finished.

I love all the light colours, and I love how everything matches. I've never had anything matching before, I've always bought seperates and matched things up. This is definitely the way forward though haha!

In my last post I posted some photos of my new collection. I'm in the right frame of mind to carry on making cards like this so there could be loads! Again though, I need to go to the craft shop as I am running out of cards!

I've brought everything into work with me today so I can make some when it's quiet, but .... I forgot to bring my white card! Duh! Oh, also, many of the cards are one-of-a-kind, as some of the papers I only had 1 sheet of and can't get any more of. I guess that makes them special =)

All in a days work!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend =) I finally got myself into action and made some cards! Here are the three that are totally finished.

The first is a 'thanks' card. I was sitting looking at my Papermania letters and this was what came to mind. So now I have a grand total of two Thank You cards!

These next cards are some that sprang to mind when I saw my heart-shaped stencil. I found some paper that I'd forgotten I had and used that on these cards. I love the hot pink, for some reason it makes me think of summer in some exotic location! These are part of my new collection that I'm putting together =)

I haven't stamped them with "Happy Birthday" or "Thinking of You" as I think a blank card like this can be used for any occasion. They're the kind of cards you want at hand for a last minute occasion you've forgotten about haha!

Did you make anything this weekend?
