I saw some unicorn scrapbook paper in Hobbycraft recently and knew the girls would love it. I picked up a sheet and decided to use it to decorate Hollie's light box.

It was really simple to do as you just need to cut three strips that are high enough and wide enough to fit into each section.

The unicorn paper looks really pretty in normal daylight but as it was double sided with clouds on the back, when the light was on you could see both sides so would definitely recommend using single sided paper.

Most of the clouds on the reverse of the paper don't affect it and I think it looks really pretty when you put in the letters.

I made this card for our niece's birthday and as I'm still trying to find my feet with crafting again, I decided to keep it simple and not get overwhelmed with creating it.

Using a patterned paper that was quite busy helped to bring the card together straight away and using a striped chipboard butterfly that added some colour.

I wanted to add some dimension to the card so added 3 flower embellishments.   

I used a accent sticker for the sentiment for the outside of the card and for the inside I punched a circle and stamped a greeting on it.

While going through the patterned paper pads that I have, I found some that I really would love to make some cards with so hopefully it will spur me on to make more cards soon.
