Do you love sneak peeks? I have one for you! “Gifted Wrapped” bundle paired with “Posted for You” in today’s project! Two kinds of embossing today.

Zany Zebras plus Sneak Peek!
Wouldn’t you call these cute Zebras zany when you see them? They are the cutest ever! I found it difficult to visualise them in any other colour than black stripes. It just went against the grain so instead, I put the colour in the background! It’s the best way to use up scraps. As I […]

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 […]
