Fun and Bright Handmade Card - Smiths Crafty Creations

Learn how to make this adorable handmade card

Hi and welcome to today’s blog – first of all HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

This tutorial was a sneaky extra bonus project that I published last night. I thought I’d publish the blog post today to share all of the measurements with you. For those who joined me for live chat during the premiere, thank you so much, it was lovely talking to you all.

I used the Follow your Art Suite which is such a fun, friendly and colourful suite. To view the tutorials and others please subscribe to my youtube channel which is (click link to be taken straight there):

I’d love for you to subscribe so that you don’t miss out on future projects.

This tutorial gave me a little bit of a headache as there were so many layers, and because I hadn’t prepped the card beforehand, I was chopping and reducing layer sizes as I went on..

I hope you like today’s project.

The colours I chose for this project had to be colourful and bright like the Designer Series Paper in this suite so I went with Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody and Melon Mambo. It’s nice to see a fun and bright handmade card, especially at this time of the year where all projects tend to be Autumnal or Christmas based.
