Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine projects.

As I'm working on a few new projects for Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine, I thought I would give you a glimpse of a couple which are out now in the brand new issue!
I can't tell you how lucky I feel to work for such a brilliant inspirational magazine, I love this little exploding Easter box on the front cover and by the talented Jo Neville, super cute!

I had so much fun doing this months Colour Clinic and a must for all of you who sometimes struggle with skin and hair tones, there are informative step by step instructions to guide you through in easy to follow steps too!

If you don't already subscribe now is the time to do it!!!
An offer NOT to be missed in my opinion including a BUMPER pack of Promarkers and 3 Willow Designs digi stamps to practice your colouring and make some unique cards.
Go check out your full subscription deal here

Our stamp SALE has been manic, thank you everybody for your continued support, it means a lot to a small company like us!, if you haven't had a look yet feast your eyes over here

Not forgetting Valentines wishes to each and everyone of you.

There's not a lot anyone can say about the sad news at the beginning of the week really except..
RIP Whitney Houston, so so sad.

Wowweee, the website went MAD when we put our clear stamps into the SALE! thank you !! x
We all need a little inspiration from time to time, including me and thought you all would like to see some ideas using our SALE stamps.

Hope everyone is managing to stay safe in the snow and ice, we have managed to escape the snow for now but the ice was horrific yesterday travelling into Willow Towers, luckily all safe and sound, unlike many travellers :(

My advice? stay in and craft this weekend, have a good one.xxxx

Challenge Card

I just love crafting for me and anyone who does it for a living will know exactly what I mean so......I was so excited to enter my DT card into this weeks Willow Sketchie Challenge..(see post below). I knew exactly what I was going to make when I saw Lisa's sketch and for once, everything turned out exactly how I wanted, doesn't happen too often, right?

I used the different layers on the sketch in a different way to normal, I decided to create depth to the picture rather than layering them on top of each other..if that makes sense, I will show you what I mean... hope to get to play with that CD more.x





Don't forget about the inside too, it finishes your cards off a treat and takes 2 seconds :)
Thanks Lisa for a fab sketch to work with.x

Onto other crafty business, it's been a busy week so far at Willow Towers. With the 14th
February just a short while away we have some new Valentine digi stamps on offer, I love them but do have a favourite :)



You can find all of our Valentine digital stamps here

DT CALL

We also have a very exciting opportunity for some of you lovely people out there...you want to apply? Please do so at sales@willowdesignstamps.com

Please visit our home page Willow Designs

Right, I look forward to hearing from all you crafty people and looking at your blogs, I'm off to finish designing some new "stuff".
