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 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. I placed three different shaped triangles on a piece of Whisper White measuring 9.5cm x 13.8cm and die cut them then repeated the… Read More »

Hi there It’s ages since I participated in a challenge – colour or sketch – and this weekend I’ve created cards for two different colour challenges.

The only stamping I’ve done is the sentiment – so check out below to see how I used this sketch. For this design you could stamp your… Read More »
Hi there Welcome to Winter – at least we’re now starting to get the rain we so desperately need. One positive of winter is that we have to stay indoors more which means more crafting time – and with a new catalogue just days away – bring it on. Today’s post is created from a… Read More »
