Hello and welcome to this Sunday’s DIY background card with Textures & Frames from the Sale-a-bration brochure. I hope you’re well and enjoying the summer break.

Thank you card with Delicate Dahlias
I have a thank you card with Delicate Dahlias to share with you today. I got the Delicate Dahlias stamp set free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-bration. This stamp set is a two-step stamping one, so there is a linear image, followed by a “filler”. This means you don’t need to colour it with […]

I find it difficult to stamp floral images […]

Peekaboo card with Sweet Little Stockings

They’re part of the Sweet Stockings Suite on pages 30-31 of the new July-December 2021 mini. Much as I love Christmas, it’s too soon for me to […]
