Cardmaking and handmade cards. Hi! I'm Donna. I'm an Australian cardmaker, back in the bush after 5 years living in Tokyo, Japan. I enjoy making clean and simple cards, sharing card making tutorials, and teaching cardmaking to my friends. I love watercolour (That's watercolor to some of you!) Copic colouring, patterned paper, die cutting, ink blending and heat embossing, just to name a few of the things I get up to in my craft room! Hand made cards are such fun to make and such a joy to give.
Donna, these are gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing your talent and creativity with us ❤️ Now I know what to do with my large stash of alcohol ink backgrounds 😍🤗
These cards are stunning. They are essentially clean and simple yet they are sooooooooo much more than that. I really am jiving with those wax seals, saw them the other day while window shopping Paper Rose and now im absolutely going to get them.... thanks for enabling me...hehehe
What lovely cards. I recently bought several Paper Rose embossing folders, including Tufted Elegance. Thank you for the inspiration on how to use it. Good luck with your studies.
I know I should use some other folders, but that tufted elegance is all I’m using at the moment! (But I did see some new ones at Paper Rose, so you never know...)
That is so beautiful. I guess it doesn't matter how long we have been cardmaking, there is always something more to learn, isn't there?! Swiping your ink pad across the background stamp instead of pouncing is what I learned today. ❤❤
They are so pretty, I didn't notice the smaller gem, i thought it was the missing gem? Oh ok, its a tiny one, i thought it was missing.. haha, regardless its soooo pretty.
Congratulations on your continued studies. You will do a great job! Keep up the great work. I just found your channel on RU-vid. Outstanding cards. I am going to try some of them. Thank you so much. Amen
@@donnaisplayingpaper Just remember you got this far, which means you can complete your task because you have already begun. Keep up the great work. Amen
Excited for you - unie classes are not for the faint of heart - especially as we get older, have family responsibilities, etc! Best wishes on your studies!!
So true! I love the study and think it’s going to kill me in equal parts! I’m just starting second semester now, having successfully survived semester 1.
Beautiful Donna, love that shimmer green... I gotta say, everytime i see ''Made in Australia" on stamps/dies & embossing folders it makes me feel so proud to be an aussie, since so much is made in the USA... Just love Paper Rose products.... thanks for sharing.
These are lovely, Donna. It's gorgeous paper; I wish I could get it here in the UK. I think I prefer the 'leftovers' cards - especially that elephant! Very clever idea.
Postage is a killer, isn’t it? I know that Spellbinders were sticking some papers, but I’m not sure if that was in the UK store as well. Might be worth a try. I agree with you about the favourites. I like the leftover cards better too!
Hi Donna. Wow these ideas are great! There's a couple of new ones that I've never seen before. Beautiful papers and beautiful cards too. Happy crafting! 😃
I love the card and the music is utterly delightful. It reminds me of the music by one of my all time favorite actor/musicians... Chico Marx. Growing up I could watch Chico and Harpo play for hours.
