Hi there I hope you all had a restful Easter weekend. Here in New Zealand we had a ‘staycation’ weekend as we are still in our lockdown. That means no ‘Sunday drives’, no shopping (other than for groceries), no going out with family or friends just staying in our ‘bubble’. So that’s what we did… Read More »
Hi there This past weekend was spent in Rotorua at our annual Creative Inkers Stamp Camp. We had a great time together – about 50 of us – and were taught some amazing projects. I still need to take photos of these so will share them with you soon. If you would like to be… Read More »

Hi there As promised today’s post features a fancy fold card. Since learning this card design I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve made it. It’s a great ‘fold’ for all ages and gives a real ‘wow’. So let’s get on and see what I’m talking about. The card base is a ‘gate’… Read More »
Hi there Back again with another creation using the products from the Magnolia Lane Suite. Growing up we had a beautiful pink flowering magnolia tree outside our kitchen window and now we have the white ‘Little Gem’.

Hi there How many of us are Designer Series Paper (DSP) hoarders? We buy our lovely DSP but then don’t want to cut into it – well that is all changing with ‘Love It Chop It’. When we chop our DSP into card front sizes we are more likely to use it to create beautiful… Read More »
Hi there Back again with the next installment of cards using the One Sheet Wonder template. I really enjoyed creating these cards so I’m thinking I might make another set up using the Tranquil Textures DSP and make them ready for masculine birthdays. Don’t forget we have a DSP special on this month – buy… Read More »
Hi there Further to my last post here are the first four cards I made using the One Sheet Wonder template and a sheet of DSP from the Share What You Love Specialty DSP pack. I’ve chosen a paper that has an all over pattern rather than a one way pattern. This makes it easier… Read More »
Hi there Here’s a card I created earlier this year and forgot to share it with you. It was for a friends son who turned 12 – I don’t have many stamp sets suitable for this age but knowing he’s into music I borrowed the set Country Livin’ from a friend. The card base is… Read More »
Hi there We all end up with off cuts of DSP and I never want to throw them out – I always think “I’ll use that one day”. Well I finally had a ‘one day’ :). They’ve ended up on the card below which is now ready to post. The card base is Early Espresso… Read More »

The card base is Basic Black that is hinged at the top rather than the side.I I then added a Sahara Sand layer that measures 10cm… Read More »
Hi there Birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays. Today is a very popular day for birthdays in our family. It’s my Mum’s birthday and Phil’s twin uncles birthdays. Not only do they share the same day but also the same year – so that actually makes them triplets 🙂 Happy birthday to three very special people.… Read More »
Hi there The Picture Perfect DSP is rather cool – one side of the paper is a photograph image and the other side is a design image. The cards I’m going to share with you all use the design side of the paper. I’ve created three cards in the same design but each one has… Read More »
Hi there At our OnStage event in November last year I asked to be a Display Stamper. I received a box of new products including some items from the Petal Passion Suite with which to create projects. These projects were displayed on the day so demonstrators could see different ways to use the products. Over… Read More »
