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 […]

Hippo Happiness and friends
There are lots of little stamps in this Hippo Happiness bundle to make cute cards. What drew me to this set were the coordinating dies! I love it! There are 3 sets of stitched label dies in addition to the cut outs for the animals and butterfly and all the little extras. It included a […]
Playful Patterns Stamparatus rainbow
Give me an alphabet die set anytime – I love them! Even better is one that includes the numerals as well! Not only that, there are multiple dies for more popular letters! I show you two ways to use the Stamparatus for a technique called “hinge” stamping. The one with red and blue stripes is […]
