pinched box for halloween with Cute Halloween bundle

Pinched Treat Box for Halloween

I created a pinched treat box for Halloween using the Frightfully Cute bundle. It’s hard to believe that this is already Week 5 of 6 in my 6-week Countdown to Halloween Series and the penultimate episode! This year, I didn’t bother trying to get Halloween sweets. They are always hard to find when you work […]

Halloween treat box – Sparkle of the Season

It’s another Halloween treat box with Sparkle of the Season. A warm welcome to Week 4’s Countdown to Halloween Series which is another Halloween treat box.

I love Stampin’ Up!’s halloween treat box and the Frightfully Cute bundle. Welcome to Week 3 in my 6-week Countdown to Halloween Series.

Five backgrounds with Textures & Frames

I must confess, I found it hard to get started on doing anything creative with Textures & Frames. Once I began, I found it hard to stop and within a blink of the eye, I’d created lots! Truth be known, I was a little scared of it, so I kept putting it off! So I […]

Blending technique with Welcoming Woods

How quickly time passes so this Sunday I’m sharing a card I made using the blending technique with Welcoming Woods. Have you tried blending with brushes? They’re the bees knees! I love how seamlessly the colours merge into one another. The trees were stamped in Early Espresso, and looking skywards, I used Crushed Curry and […]

Vellum embossed card with Shaded Summer

It’s Sunday again and this time I have a vellum embossed card with the Shaded Summer stamp set. Did you know you can emboss on vellum? When you emboss with vellum, it turns white as the embossed impression is made. The new Merry Melody 3D embossing folder can be found on page 42 of the […]

Peekaboo card with Sweet Little Stockings

I wondered long and hard on how to make an alternate peekaboo card with Sweet Little Stockings. The Stockings dies coordinate with the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set. They’re part of the Sweet Stockings Suite on pages 30-31 of the new July-December 2021 mini. Much as I love Christmas, it’s too soon for me to […]
