Hi there! How are you? Hope you’re doing well as lock down eases in UK and I hope you’re all following Government guidelines to stay safe. Yes, Christmas Gnomes! I’m not usually a fan of garden gnomes. When I saw these, it tugged at my heart strings and I just had to have it! The […]

Technique – No line water colouring
At time of writing, I was still under “curfew” . We’re talking pre-30th June and UK is having a heat wave! To my dismay all the months of staying at home seemed futile because people flocked to the beaches in their hordes. People seem to have forgotten that although restrictions have been relaxed, COVID-19 is […]
Pampered Pets – Pop Twist card
Sometimes it’s good to revisit techniques. This fun fold was all the rage about 3 years ago. The stamp set I chose is just perfect for this type of card. The patterned papers in the Playful Pets suite on page 40 to 42 have the most adorable artist’s impressions of cats and dogs. It may […]

Celebrate Sunflowers with vellum

We’re certainly not out of the woods yet. […]
Teeny One Sheet Wonder – Flowers for Every Season
I did it !!! Four unique cards made from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP ! Yesterday I published a cutting guide on a one sheet wonder over on my Facebook page. It was certainly a challenge because I didn’t like the reverse side of the paper! I solved the problem by introducing mat […]
