Ornate Style with Peaceful Moments

  I  have another sample I made to show case the Ornate Garden Suite.  Being a Demo, we get to play with this newly released Ornate Style Bundle even earlier! I made this birthday card for one of my team whose birthday was in March which appeared on my instagram account a few weeks ago.  […]

Jumping Jack boxes in a Matchbox!

Remember the rage with loom rubber bands? You could make all kinds of bracelets with them and my grandsons went through a phase when they were really expert at making them. They’ve grown out of it now but I’ve still got a box leftover full of these loom bands and I’ve found an alternative use […]

Happy Mother’s Day in the UK

Happy Mothering Sunday! I nearly missed today and had to do a quick re-shuffle of all my scheduled posts.  How did that happen?   Note to self – I’ll need to consult the calendar more often!  With an empty nest, I’ve completely lost  track of high days and holidays (read school vacations) let alone the days […]

Birthday Bonanza – Interactive card

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 […]
