I thought my readers might like a change from reading all about cards so I thought I would share these. These altered tins are a blast from the past – I recently gave one away as a present – the large paint can for “bits & bobs” which I am rather fond of. It has been much […]

Elegant Soiree DSP, #1 Occasional Greetings, Wedding Sweet
The next few posts will feature using the Designer Series Papers, Elegant Soiree. These were samples I made for my last workshop. I’ve dipped into one of my favourite greeting sets Occasional Greetings again. It comprises 12 stamps in wood mount and has a sentiment to suit every occasion and for the mileage you get out of it, £30.95 […]
Sail Away #4
This is the final sample for Sail Away. I ran a piece of Pacific Point through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. In keeping with the masculine theme, again minimal layers using fairly reserved colours and no ribbon. Recipe: Stamp: Sail Away, Plane & Simple Ink: Pacific Point Papers: Pacific Point, Sahara […]
Nature Walk
At Convention last year, Pam Morgan showed us how to make this cute litte folder. I altered the dimensions of the folder (which you can see here) so that the bulk of 4 cards being put in the folder would sit better in it. Today’s Sunday Share is an updated version. In my humble opinion, this would make a perfect Teacher’s present […]
Sail Away #3
This next one uses the Top Note die, 2 pieces cut, one in Cherry Cobbler and the other in Whisper White. I cut just inside the line on the Whisper White piece so that the Cherry Cobbler would show underneath. Masking technique used whilst sponging on colour. Recipe: Stamp: Sail Away, Plane & Simple Ink: […]
Sail Away #2
Used the masking technique here both on the sails and the sun using sponge daubers to add just a hint of colour. I made my own card candy to match. Recipe: Stamp : Sail Away, Plane & Simple Ink: Bashful Blue, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie Papers: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy Accessories: 5/8″ […]
Occasional Greetings, Blossom Petal Punch, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
I’ve used the Blossom Petal Punch to create the skirt for this image – a stamp set from my personal collection. I ran cardstock weight vellum through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and punched out a few small petals and adhered it with a two-way glue pen. I cut a tiny […]
Sail Away #1
I’ve always loved the water and in a previous life, we were surrounded by it having lived and worked in Hong Kong for several years – even my children were born out there! We also used to own a dinghy and spent many happy hours bobbing up and down the South China Sea. So this […]
