Hi there Last Tuesday’s card included some masking so this week I though I’d do a card that had more masking and give you a quick step by step tutorial on how I do my masking. I got a bit carried away with my masking so ended up making two cards – one I used… Read More »
Hi there I was first shown this fold of card by another demo -Kristine McNickle – last year. We made it in a portrait orientation but for today’s card I’ve swapped it around to be a landscape card. It uses a whole sheet of A4 cardstock for the base – 21cm x 27cm – cut… Read More »
Hi there I’m enjoying bringing you a technique every Tuesday – it’s making me revisit techniques I’ve haven’t done for ages plus using new products for techniques. Today I have the Paper Piecing technique. This works with line art stamps and is another way to ‘colour’ your image. Using a Designer Series Paper (DSP) with… Read More »
Hi there I got so carried away crafting in the weekend that I forgot to post my other ‘Quite Curvy’ creations. Better late than never. I created this card for a team swap earlier this year. Swaps are a great way to get samples of other products that I don’t have that I can then… Read More »
Hi there Today’s cards are a bit more involved in their creation so I’ve titled this post ‘Fancy Friday’. All four cards use the Quite Curvy Bundle which is available until 30 June 2021. I was originally going to make just one card but got carried away and made four designs with this one set.… Read More »
Hi there Today’s project has a few techniques in it but the main one I want to highlight is the Stamping Off technique. To get the most out of our inks – of which we have 50 colours – this is a great way to get to get multiple colours from one ink pad. The… Read More »
Hi there Do you ever buy a stamp set thinking “I’ve got heaps of ideas for this set’ and then find it sits for ages without seeing ink? Well this is true for my ‘Nothing’s Better Than’ bundle – so I thought I’d use the stamp set for my Waterfall card and it was perfect.… Read More »
Hi there Lately I’ve seen some really cool backgrounds created using Vellum cardstock, Stampin Blends and Isopropyl Alcohol so I thought I’d give it a go. My first attempt didn’t make it to the card base but as the saying goes ‘ try and try again’. Here’s my second attempt and I must admit I… Read More »
Hi there I made this card for a friends 10 year old son. I don’t have any stamps suitable for this age so went with a fold with some fun. Normally I make a 3D box to go with the card and fill it with chocolates. This time as I’ve used the Ice Cream Corner… Read More »

Hi there Here’s a bit of background about what Bokeh means. In photography, bokeh (/ˈboʊkə/ BOH-kə or /ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay;[1] Japanese: [boke]) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image.[2][3][4] Bokeh has also been defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”. Now onto the project 🙂 Here’s the finished card. For my background I’ve used Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana and… Read More »
Hi there I’ve recently seen a few cards made using this fold but haven’t seen them been given a ‘name’ so I’m calling it a Book Card. It uses a standard card base – 10.5cm x 29.7cm and with one extra score line you get this fun card. On the 3rd May the current 2020/2021… Read More »
Hi there Our Stampin’ Up! ink refills are great not only to reink your ink pads but to use for a number of techniques. Last Tuesday I shared the Baby Wipe technique and today I have another technique that uses the ink refills. You’ll also need some shaving foam – I use the ‘in house’… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the different ways you can use the Baby Wipe Technique for your projects. Today I have the final card using the last two butterflies from my earlier card. This is another card that uses a standard card base to create a fun fold. I first saw this card… Read More »

I used 9 different colours – Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Poppy Parade and So Saffron. After stamping the image on… Read More »
