fun, simple, peekaboo card with a llama

Fun, simple, Peekaboo card

I created this fun, simple, peekaboo card with the coolest set of dies! There are only two dies in the “Picture This” set. One cuts out multiple circles and the other cuts out multiple rectangles. Both dies have double stitching so that the die cut circles and rectangles as well as the “negative” space (apertures) […]

blended card with puffins

Blended card with quirky inside fold

Say hello to these adorable “Party Puffins”! This blended card with a quirky inside fold happened quite by accident. I was aiming for something quite different.

Diagonal two-toned box : Nothing’s Better than Chocolate

This Fun Friday I created a bespoke diagonal two-toned box with “Nothing’s Better than Chocolate” stamp set. I had these Chocolate Bombs in my store cupboard which needed some pretty packaging.

Clean & Simple Sympathy Card

A clean and simple sympathy card is life’s necessity. Even our furry friends eventually leave this mortal coil and are a much valued member of your family. Their loss is no less felt and it is heartbreaking to have to say “good-bye”. Words seem so inadequate at times like these, and sending a card just […]

fancy fold card called tower fold with pansy patch

Tower block fold card

Eek! I recently discovered this fancy tower block fold card. It sounds complicated, doesn’t it, but there’s a method in the “madness”. I try to make the instructions as easy as I can for its execution! Evening Evergreen is such a rich green, and I love the combination of greens in the Pansy Petals 12″ […]

Easel card with two step stamping

Easel Card with two-step stamping

I immediately thought of making an Easel Card when I clapped eyes on the Color & Contour two-step stamping bundle. It never ceases to amaze me how artists lay down a few scribbles and you immediately connect with the images. Did you think I coloured the images in with water colour pencils? It certainly looks […]
