Another month, another crafts project using supplies from Pretty Paper Studio, an online crafts shop. For those of you who missed it, I am honoured to be part of their 12 member PPS UAE Design Team, who bring you a range of fun creative art projects for the next couple of months, complete with informative tutorials so you too can recreate them at home. You can have a look at my previous crafts projects, where I created a Number Recognition Game for my Toddler, a 3D Seashell Memory Frame, a Newborn Baby Shadow box Frame and a Newborn Keepsake Photo Album.

The theme for the month of April is “Anything Goes”, giving me free hand at creating absolutely anything this month. However, keeping in mind that April is the Birthday Month of Pretty Paper Studio, and it will be my son’s 4th birthday in exactly one month’s time, I wanted to create a Birthday Card. Yes, I am one of those organised freaks who needs to have everything in place well in advance, so making a birthday card a month in advance is just how I roll!

Below is a sneak peak of how the hand made Birthday Card, using Dinosaur illustrations inspired by @dinorawkids, but to know how I went about creating it, head on over to the photo tutorial I have written on the Pretty Paper Studio Blog to have a read.

I hope you enjoy reading my photo tutorial, and if you do get inspired to recreate it, please do share your projects with me by posting photos on social media using the hashtags #ppsuae #prettypaperstudio #madewithppsuae . Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram and/or Facebook, so I can see!
