Hello you! At time of writing, I am still patiently waiting for the goodies I ordered at the beginning of January. By the time this post is scheduled to publish, Valentine’s Day will be less than a fortnight away. With Britain having left the EU, the new rules and regulations kicked in and an incredible […]
Blended Card with Enjoy the Moment
I have been using blending brushes on the QT before Stampin’ Up! introduced them into their product line, so I am thrilled to be able to use them in future tutorials. There are so many ways to blend and so many different tools you can use for blending. We had those hard rubber brayers so […]
Unusual card closure – Dragonfly Garden

Who doesn’t love a treat gift wrapped in the most fetching way? I’m a sucker for mini boxes and I simply adore the new one Stampin’ Up! has in its Love You Always Suite on pages 10-13 of the new January-June 2021 mini. No glue required – that HAS to be a bonus, right? I […]
Paper Weave Technique card with Snailed It
Do you remember Miniature Weaving toy looms made out of wood? I received one as a gift one Christmas and loved it! Then I was given a book on ribbon weaving and tried my hand at that too. There are so many different types of material you can use to weave with, why not paper? […]
