I made this interactive birthday card with Seas the Day for my grandson’s birthday. The card is a spinner card made with some special dies. The dies are called “Give it a Whirl” and you most certainly can! It was originally in the July-December 2021 mini and you can see the post HERE where I […]

Centre step easel card – Oceanfront
Intrigued by the Centre step easel card with Oceanfront stamps? To be honest, I didn’t know what else to call it! The card is a combination of a step card, but requires a “stopper” on the front so it’s an easel card too! It’s designed to fold flat so that it will fit into a […]
Vintage card – Amazing Silhouettes
A vintage card with Amazing Silhouettes bundle. I made this as a birthday card, using one of the sentiments from the newly launched Waves of Inspiration stamp set. Waves of Inspiration is an early release product from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. The tree image was stamped on Basic White card stock with Blushing Bride ink. […]
Clean & simple birthday card – Tulip Fields
Clean and simple birthday card with Tulip Fields bundle to follow on from last week’s simply stamped Windmill card. This week I’m using the larger windmill die which takes centre stage. This is part of the Flowering Fields Suite on pages 14-17 of the January-June 2022 mini. It was difficult to decide which bundle to […]
Hidden Magnetic closure card

Spotlight Technique with Welcoming Woods
This Sunday I’m featuring a Spotlight Technique with Welcoming Woods stamp set. Sometimes you make cards with no specific occasion or person in mind. 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. […]
Birthday Card for a Teenager
When I espied the Hats Off Bundle in the new Annual Catalogue on page 47, I knew it would make the perfect birthday card for a teenager! I have real difficulty with making cards for that age bracket. May has been such a busy month for birthdays. I have been churning them out like there’s […]
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 […]
