I’ve been scratching my head wondering how to alter a gift bag to make a gift card. This is one of the things I did when I first started more than 10 years ago and am re-visiting again. Do you remember paper bag books? I haven’t made one in such a long time. Yes, this […]

Diorama Card for summer – Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop
Goodness gracious, May whisked by and it’s time for another blog hop so I created this Diorama card for Summer for June’s Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop. Thank you to the lovely Sara Sayers who set the theme “Here comes Summer” for this month’s challenge. Combining Old with New Oftentimes, we overlook the old when […]
Off Centre Gatefold Card
I’m SO excited about this off centre gatefold card using the Expressions in Ink Suite! I love everything about this suite. The Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) are to die for. In this off centre gatefold card, it shows off the paper beautifully. This set of stamps are Stampin’ Up!’s “distINKtive” patented […]

It never ceases to amaze me how artists lay down a few scribbles and you immediately connect with the images. Did you think I coloured the images in with water colour pencils? It certainly looks […]
Pop out partially die cut birthday card
Warmer weather calls for a pop out partially die cut birthday card and ice lolly images! I’m so disappointed that the Ice Cream Corner Suite on page 49 of the January-June 2021 mini is retiring. There is such a short window to blog about this. iIce cream is one of my favourite foods! Is it […]
A Gatefold card with off centre opening and bonus card
Hi and welcome! I wanted to create a special Gatefold card with an off centre opening. We’ve had some joyous news that my Sister-in-law and her husband have become grandparents for the first time! The lock down and pandemic has been such a damper on life in the past year that news of the baby’s […]
