Hi there I’ve been wanting to make a Corner Tuck card for some time and today’s the day it happened. I combined a couple of variations to create my Blackberry Beauty themed card. The card gets it’s name as you need to ‘tuck’ the front panel under the ‘corner’ to close the card. The corner… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Corner Tuck Card »
Last month we had an online event for demonstrators in the South Pacific. It was a fun afternoon of crafting together with presentations and some ‘hands on’ crafting. The first presentation was the ‘smooshing’ technique. My first attempt did not turn out well – it ended up in ‘file 13’ – but I was pleased… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Smooshing Technique »
Hi there I have two cards to share today – one landscape and one portrait – featuring the same fun fold to create a Closure Card. I first made this style of card back in January 2019.

Hi there I have another project using the Gilded Leafing and this time we’re combining it with the Heat & Stick Powder from page 167. This is the ‘go to’ page for all the different types of adhesives. For this card the Gilded Leafing gives a similar effect as heat embossing.

Hi there You may have heard of or made a Pocket Card but have you made a Faux Pocket Card? This was my first attempt at a Faux version and I love how easy it was to create.

Hi there I came across a card idea I’d saved from years ago and decided to recreate it to fit our metric cardstock and current products. The original card used half a sheet of cardstock for the base and the flap. What I wanted for my card was to recreate the ‘flap’ on the side… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Side Flap Card »

Hi there I fellow demonstrator recently shared a card she had made that had only one layer – the card base – so I thought I’d give it a go.

To… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Buckle Card »

This means we’ve CASEd someone else’s work and it’s great… Read More: Technique Tuesday – CASEing »

As you may know… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Angled Fold Card »
