Easy Card Fronts

Sometimes it can be handy to have a pre-made card front if you have that right image you want to use. With that in mind I created Gold and Lace Background with Satin Bow - a pair of identical cardfronts to match up with your design. Great for invitations, anniversary cards, etc etc.

New A4 Card Front Design

Purple Orchid on Gold and Lace features a beautiful orchid as the centerpiece. I've made this image available firstly as an A4 cardfront (it can be easily resized to fit smaller cards using printer settings) but I will shortly release this design as both a decoupage and pyramid sheets.


Australian Native Pyramid Topper - Magpie

I've added another to my Australian collection, Aussie Natives - Magpie. The Magpie in Australia is a common but striking wild bird that is often heard 'choralling' early in the morning. It is insectivorous and is the about the size of a crow. I raised an orphaned one once and they are really lovable - Maggie would sing for me and after being released back into the wild she would often come and visit with her family.

Wedding Invitations

Having organised our own wedding I know how important it is to save money where possible. How does printing your wedding invitations for 0.80 GBP (about AUD$1.50) sound?? With 3 invitations per page then the only cost on top of that is your printing (you can print as many as you need on your home printer), backing card, DL envelopes and postage !! Take look below at these!

Easter Card for Baby Boy
