This suite combines a stamp set, coordinating dies, Designer Series Paper (DSP), twine and embellishments. The card base is Bermuda Bay… Read More »

Hi there A couple of weekends ago we had our annual Creative Inkers Stamp Camp in Rotorua. It was great to be able to get together with my fellow demos. The last time we were all together was Stamp Camp 2020 so there was much to catch up on. Over the weekend we made 5… Read More »
Hi there Here’s another great fun fold that uses a standard sized card base. I like this type of card as it means you can get two cards from an A4 piece of cardstock. The base (Terracotta Tile) is a standard 14.8cm x 21cm. Instead of scoring at 10.5cm for the centre fold I made… Read More »
Hi there Today’s technique is one I haven’t done for ages – it’s called the Eclipse Technique. Most Eclipse cards use alphabet dies but you can use other dies and even punches. Here I’ve used the Playful Alphabet Dies which are a great size allowing for longer words. Our old Large Letter Dies only allowed… Read More »
Hi there I wasn’t sure what to call the fold on this card – so went with Concertina Fold – not very original :). I’ve loved the papers that were on offer during Sale-A-Bration – Paper Blooms, Flower & Field and Oh So Ombre. This card style requires a long piece of DSP so I… Read More »
Hi there For the last two weeks I’ve shared projects created with the same stamp set – Forever Blossoms – but coloured in with different methods – Daubers and Stampin’ Blends.

Hi there Today’s card style is one that I used for my first ever workshop back in 2012. I haven’t created this card for some time – it’s another great card fold that uses our Designer Series Paper (DSP). As Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end I thought I’d use some of the Flower and… Read More »

Hi there Today’s technique is heat embossing. This has got to be one of my favourite techniques. I never get sick of seeing the transformation of the embossing powder once heat is applied to it – it’s so cool. In my earlier post I used clear embossing powder added on top of an already inked… Read More »
Hi there Rather than sharing a fun fold card today I thought I’d share a fun card instead. This card doesn’t require any stamping – just your dies and an embossing machine.
