mirror technique card with sweet songbirds

Mirror image technique with Sweet Songbird

I’m using the mirror image technique with this Sweet Songbird stamp set. We have such busy lives and if you want to send a card with a personal touch which you’ve made yourself, this one is really easy and minimalist but still looks great. Embossing folders are a great way to add texture to a […]

Happy Father’s Day – He’s all that

Happy Father’s Day to all the men folk out there who are Dads, uncles, grand-dads past and present. Sadly both my Dad and hubby’s Dad left this mortal coil many years ago, but they are forever in our hearts and in our thoughts when you least expect it and we will never forget them. In […]

Clean & Simple Father’s day card

This is my last clean and simple father’s day card with a video tutorial for 2022. We have had new, now we must not forget the old! I’m thrilled that “Whiskey Business” is still with us and is in the new 2022-23 Annual catalogue. The new deckled rectangles dies are a Godsend! I’ve been using […]

Mini Pocket Envelop Father’s Day card

This mini pocket envelop Father’s day card is a bit quirky. The mini pocket envelop dies are sized so that a credit card size gift card can be inserted into it. I used it as a decoration for the front of this Father’s Day card instead. Remember the Windmill Dies which are in the January-June […]

Pop Up Father’s Day Card – Brewed for you

Today I have a pop up Father’s Day card using Brewed for You Bundle. I am sad that the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set is retiring, so I am making the most of it while I still can. Also leaving is the Heart & Home Designer Series Papers. On one side of the papers there […]

clean simple kraft notecard with Bottled Happiness

New Kraft notecards & envelops – Bottled Happiness

New Kraft notecards & envelops – Bottled Happiness Bundle. The Bottled Happiness bundle escaped my notice until one or two samples popped up in my feed. It piqued my curiosity and I had another look in the 2022-23 Annual Catalogue on page 16. I’m so glad I did, because the floral stamps are a joy […]
