Hi there Yesterday my nephew turned 20 (not sure where those years have gone!). I wanted to make a fun card for him and here’s what I created. To create my background I’ve used the Dots Decorative Mask and matched the inks to the M & M’s inside the sweet treat cup. As you know… Read More: Sweet Treat Cup Card »
Hi there I’m a bit late showing you this but this is the card I taught the other week at my card class. The theme was ‘a card for a boy’. This could actually be for anyone – just change the colours to suit. I didn’t have any DSP that was appropriate for a boy… Read More: Sweet Treat Cups »

This design takes eight squares that measure 1 1/4″. The card stock background squares measure 2 5/8″ and you… Read More: Moonlight Faux Pinwheel »
Hi there It’s meant to be Spring today but I think somebody forgot to tell the weather that winter is over – it’s been cold and wet here today in Auckland.

Hi there It’s my bosses birthday today and he’s just bought himself a new road bike which he brought into the office the other day. I had an idea I’d like to make his card with a bike on it but I don’t own any ‘bike’ stamps. My wonderful friend and fellow demo Julia has an… Read More: No stamping card »
Hi there Yesterday we celebrated my SIL’s birthday (her actual birthday was last Tuesday) and this is the card and gift I created for her. The card uses the lovely Hostess set ‘Bloom with Hope’ and I’ve coloured it in with my Blendabilities.

Hi there Just a quick post before I head off babysitting (and prepping for my team swap). Here are the two cards we made last week at my card class. This months theme was Father’s Day (which is Sunday 7th September here in NZ) and a card for a teenager. I saw a card using… Read More: Father’s Day Card – August Card Class »

Hi there Here’s a card I made a couple of months ago and forgot to share. It uses one of my favourite colours – Bermuda Bay. This card is made using the Thinlits Circle Card die. It’s a great die as you can make it a standard size or like this one – extended. You… Read More: Thinlits Circle Card »
Hi there This is a card I made for a friend who had her birthday back in March and I’m only just now getting round to bloging it – how bad is that! Her favourite colour combo is black and white (or vanilla in this case) and my favourite colour is yellow – so I… Read More: Flowershop Birthday »
Hi there Just a quick post tonight. It was my niece’s 18th birthday last Sunday and here is the card I made for her. It’s a CASE from Sandi McIvor although I’ve used Flowering Flourishes instead of Everything Eleanor. I even remembered to photograph the inside this time! I LOVE the new In-Colours ribbon. It’s nice and… Read More: Work of Art birthday »
Hi there Here’s another card and gift I made last month using the now retired Retro Fresh DSP along with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit which has carried over :).
