This is the final one for this session. I used vellum for the insert, tore the edges to distress it, stamped the large script stamp from Fresh Cuts set and embossed it in black. I inserted the vellum inside the Fresh Cuts note to gauge where I should tear the Fresh Cuts front of card […]
Fresh Cut Notes – Taken with Teal
Next I tried clear embossing on Taken with Teal. I cut a piece of Taken with Teal slightly smaller than the Fresh Cut note. I stamped “thank you” randomly in versamark on Taken with Teal, sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, used heat tool to emboss, this makes the image “pop” out and in my […]
Fresh Cut Notes – Pretty in Pink
With all that going on, how did I find time to craft? Well, I just needed to chill, didn’t I, after all that stress and I did promise to come up with more different ones. I traced round opening of the flower on to a post-it note, cut round it and used as a […]

Take a Whisper White Fresh Cut Note and cut a piece of contrasting coloured cardstock slightly smaller than the Fresh Cut Note, score and fold in half and this will sit inside it. Versamark the Fresh Cut script stamp and stamp image on the coloured cardstock (I used Barely […]
Petal Pizzaz Thank You
We’ve been working really hard this easter weekend to clear the downstairs plus kitchen in readiness for the builders to start work on Tuesday. As DH has escaped to an all day shoot – field archery – I thought I’d take a breather too and decided to do some crafting. Using the rocking technique, I […]
A Surprise
I had a lovely surprise on Good Friday. The florist arrived with this lovely bouquet of flowers from the Directors of the company my husband works for. It was to mark DH having completed 25 years in their employment – and they thought wives ought to receive some recognition too! What a nice gesture. It […]
