Hi there I have another version of the Double Easel Card similar to the one I shared here. For that card I started with the base and then built the ‘easel fold’ and attached it to the base. Today’s card starts the other way – I built the ‘easel fold’ then attached a piece of… Read More »

Hi there It’s summer here in the southern hemisphere and there’s nothing better than a yummy ice cream on a hot summers day. The Ice Cream Corner Suite in the January-June Mini is the perfect suite of products to use for summer projects. My first project with this suite is a new style of shaker… Read More »
Hi there After some ‘technical issues’ I’ve finally managed to get here. Today’s technique uses our Stampin’ Write Markers to ‘ink’ up stamps. These markers are water based compared to the Stampin’ Blends which are alcohol based. Markers are great to use when you have an image that requires multiple colours and is too hard… Read More »

Hi there Today’s technique is heat embossing. This has got to be one of my favourite techniques. I never get sick of seeing the transformation of the embossing powder once heat is applied to it – it’s so cool. In my earlier post I used clear embossing powder added on top of an already inked… Read More »

Hi there Rather than sharing a fun fold card today I thought I’d share a fun card instead. This card doesn’t require any stamping – just your dies and an embossing machine.

Hi there It’s ages since I participated in a challenge – colour or sketch – and this weekend I’ve created cards for two different colour challenges. My first card is for the Colour INKspiration challenge. I needed two boy (15 year olds) cards so this combo was perfect. I chose Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green,… Read More »
Hi There Are you ready for another easy fun fold card. This card is similar to last weeks Fun Fold but instead of folding the front back on itself in half this week we fold back 1/3 of the card front so that when the card is closed you get to see three different designs… Read More »

Hi there and Happy New Year 🙂 This afternoon I sat down and managed to make 5 fun fold cards – that’s because I couldn’t decide which pattern paper I liked best from the upcoming Flower & Field Designer Series Paper featured in the January – February Sale-A-Bration brochure. I’ve paired this paper with one… Read More »
