Happy Sunday! Valentine’s Day is just round the corner, and one of the cards I designed for our Team Meeting last month naturally had to include a Valentine project! I used two stamp sets – Parisian Beauty and the Heartfelt bundle. Reverse masking technique From a piece of copy paper, I created a mask by […]

Parisian Beauty Bundle
Parisian Beauty Bundle. Could this pass for a Valentine card do you think? We get bombarded with pink, reds or black when Valentine Day comes round, I wondered if it could be toned down. Not all of us are “hearts and flowers”, and if you’re making one for your valentine, maybe something more subdued would […]
Peaceful Poppies Suite – Sympathy card
We make cards mostly for happy occasions, but occasionally we also need Sympathy cards – ones that are necessary, but which are not necessarily made with any pleasure or enjoyment.

To those that “do” – Happy Valentine’s Day! and please spare a thought for those that can’t or don’t. I say this every year, because I’m so aware – life happens and there are widow or widowers out there or people who are lonely or destitute through no fault of their own. So to mark […]
