I’m thrilled to be able to share this Fancy Easel card with Forever Blossoms. Although I’d used the stamps and one of the dies, I neglected using the bendy branch die. It was perfect for using with an open book easel card. This type of Open book easel card harks back to circa 2014 when […]

Fun Fold card with What’s Cookin’
Today I’m sharing a fun fold card with What’s Cookin’. It’s a dutch door card, so the top half of the card has been cut off. In our very first home, we had a galley kitchen which had a “stable door” at the end. We used to call it a “stable door” because the door […]

You can choose your own colour palette and where you want to place your images on the paper too. It was such fun making this random pattern and once I’d stamped, I embossed […]
Spotlight Technique with Welcoming Woods

The Welcoming Woods stamp lent itself to making this long thin card which will fit in a DL envelope. It also lent itself to practicing the hinge-stamp method on the Stamparatus. […]
Five backgrounds with Textures & Frames
I must confess, I found it hard to get started on doing anything creative with Textures & Frames. Once I began, I found it hard to stop and within a blink of the eye, I’d created lots! Truth be known, I was a little scared of it, so I kept putting it off! So I […]
