Noor! Design UK Design Team

Good morning!

Today a wee bit different post. You will find some more information about me and how it all started. So let me explain what stands behind this unusual post! 😊 I would like to join Noor! Design UK Design Team and that’s the way I can present myself. Never done it before in a post but every day is good to do and try something new! 😊

As you already know I’m Magda and living in London. My scrap story started around 2,5 years ago when I couldn’t find any suitable invitations for my own wedding. After doing some research I thought why not try to do it myself. At the end of the day- I love different type of DIY, I think of myself as creative and interested in exploring new stuff person- so why not!? I end up doing not only my wedding invitations but whole wedding stationery that all our guests loved! I felt so proud and I think that’s the time it all started for real. Now, 2 years later (exactly today is my wedding anniversary 😊 ) I’m looking back in the past with big smile! Thinking that such fortune started my great passion for papercraft!

At the beginning, I did set up my Facebook page. From time to time I added some of my work- starting with mainly invitations and later on with occasional cards. Now mainly occasional cards, invitations, exploding boxes and albums. Recently after suggestion from my scrap friend I also set up account on Instagram and I started my own blog.

I think my skills developed really well since when I started but I am still trying different techniques as it is such a great fun. I love using cutting dies and chipboards and can’t imagine making card theme without them! Now I am exploring foamiran, stamping and hot embossing. I know there is still plenty to learn as scrapbooking is so wide craft category and there are so many different techniques. However I am willing to try them and hopefully I will have the chance to learn some of them in the near future. In the past I had a pleasure to buy some craft supplies from Noor! Design like great Joy! Craft paper pads, few flowers cutting dies from Rosy Owl (perfect for foamiran!), Scrapiniec chipboards and some craft essentials. I am open minded, scrupulous, full of creative ideas and I love new adventures!

Also for this post I made special card using supplies mainly either bought from or available at Noor! Design. Main part is Joy! crafts paper from Noor's favourites collection, handmade foamiran flower made with Rosy owl Heart Flowers cutting dies, coloured with oil pastels and with little pink brad. I finished it off with some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts (available at Noor! Design), fuchsia and white cotton cord, white lace (there is a great choice of lace at Noor!) and some pink rhinstones. At the end I added "Two become one" chipboard (similar and many more available at Noor!). Hope you like it!

 

And at the end I would like you to take a look at some of my other favourite cards and boxes!
