This Father’s Day Shaker Card is deceptively easy to make. The inspiration came from seeing a shaker card on Stampin’ Up!’s website and I wondered how they put their sequins into separate compartments. Stampin’ Up! used the Picture dies and as I have them, I decided to give it a go. Creating the Shaker There […]

Pop up Father’s Day card
The weeks seem to be flying by and we’re halfway through June already so the time has come to make a pop up Father’s Day card in time for June 20th. I looked at my stash and wondered how the Beauty of Friendship bundle could translate into making a pop up Father’s Day card. I […]
Masculine Pocket card for any occasion
Father’s Day is next Sunday, so I created a Masculine Pocket card suitable for Father’s Day or for any occasion. A little trick I use is to stamp the sentiments separately. When I need a card for whatever occasion, I can select the appropriate one from my stash. I have been meaning to have a […]

Blended card with quirky inside fold
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.

Tower block fold card
Eek! I recently discovered this fancy tower block fold card. It sounds complicated, doesn’t it, but there’s a method in the “madness”.
