Hi there I decided to do the Floating Technique this week and went in search of some videos to get some inspiration. I came across one by Alisa Tilsner (an Australian demo) where she had done this technique with an ‘inlaid’ section using a die. I didn’t want to do a ‘flower’ design so went… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Inlaid Floating Technique »
Hi there The good thing with sharing a fun fold project each Friday is that it’s making me make fun fold cards I’ve wanted to but never got round to. Today’s Double Point card is one I can now cross off my list. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to make one.… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Double Point Card »

Hi there Last Saturday I held a workshop for a lovely group of ladies – we had a great afternoon crafting and here is one of the cards we made. It uses the partial dry embossing technique. This is where you dry emboss your cardstock front but leave an area free of the embossing to… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Partial Dry Embossing »
Hi there Today’s card is a variation on a Tri-Fold Shutter card (which I have yet to share with you). I was away last weekend with some fellow demos and CASED this design from one of them. Her card had been made using a 6″ x 12″ piece of cardstock so I adapted the design… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Double Tri-Fold Shutter Card »
Hi there Today we have the Split Negative technique. This is a new one for me – I can’t believe I’ve never made a card using this cool technique. I’m so glad we’ve got black embossing powder back in our catalogue although you could do this with Memento Black ink. To create this card you… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Split Negative »
Hi there I have a new fold (to me) to share today – it’s a variation on an ‘Arrow’ card that I saw online. The original one I saw (by Tina Hewett) was done as a square card so I used the same method and created a standard portrait sized card. I think this looks… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Crossover Arrow Card »
Hi there The Spotlight Technique is a great technique to use with large line art stamps. I now have the perfect stamp for this – Daisy Garden – and a new way of creating this technique thanks to a fellow demonstrator Tee-Jay. Normally you would stamp your image, die cut part of the image out… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Spotlight Technique »

Hi there The first time I used the ‘bleach’ technique was way back in October 2011 – not sure why it’s taken me so long to use it again. This time I’ve used the bleach for ‘colouring’ my image as I would with my Stampin’ Blends or other colouring methods. Here the bleach has stripped… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Bleaching »
Hi there On Wednesday Phil and I celebrated our birthdays – mine was ‘just another birthday’ whereas his was a milestone one – 65.
