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. Originally I had been aiming for a tri-fold but it became only a partial one. The best places to see puffins in the UK is the Channel Islands. Here’s […]
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.

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.
