I gave my Cricut Expression an airing today, and cut out this ship, the wave and anchor. At first glance this looks like a very ordinary card, until you open it up. When you open the card, it reveals this surprise! I stamped the sentiments from Starring You stamp set in Real Red, cut out […]
Coaster Album
This is a beer coaster album – the covers are made out of beer coasters. I inked the edges of the beer mats before adhering co-ordinating patterned papers to the front and back of them. The pages were cut out slightly smaller than the beer mats. I used the cropadile to punch a hole in […]
Frames with a Flourish, Sincere Salutations
I needed to make a card to wish my daughter Good Luck for her exam on Thursday and Sincere Salutations was the only set I could find that had “Good Luck” in it. I paired this up with one of the stamps from Frames with a Flourish, cut round it, raised it on dimensionals, double […]
Scene in a Garden & Greetings Eight for Father’s Day
Sadly, I have no Daddy to make this for, nor does DH, but there are gazillions of Dad’s still out there who still need cards made for them, so I came up with this design. The left hand edge was embossed in gold with the Scandinavian wheel pattern and a length of Whisper White grosgrain […]

Hidden Garden Blossoms
Over Bank Holiday Weekend we managed to actually go out for some leisure time. Something we’ve not had or even contemplated (except to go out and eat) during the house renovations. I can’t tell you how good that felt! We found this all black china soap dispenser and scourer holder which matched our new kitchen […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #2
This is the picture from which we had to draw inspiration for our challenge. I am thrilled to be part of the Inspiring Inkin’ Design Team and this is my card for Challenge #2 today. “Try something new that you have not yet used” – I’ve never made a 6″ x 6″ card before, so […]
