Fortnight ago I found myself in a position where I had to dash off several birthday cards in order to catch the post, so instead of layering, I stamped in monochrome directly onto the card stock – I was already late for their birthdays and I hang my head in shame because I have consistently […]

Inking Felt Technique
Last month, my card club ladies made this pretty card. This is similar to the baby wipe technique – except instead of a baby wipe, you use a piece of felt. I cut the felt the same size as the wood block stamp then inked and stamped the image in Black Stazon on the piece […]
A Cup of Latte?
A brand new toy! Who likes genuine strong coffee a la Starbucks or Costa style but without the messy coffee grains and cleaning up afterwards? Maybe lots of you already have gadgets like this at home, but this is new to me! We researched the Nespresso dispensing machines, but Nespresso worked out at 29p per […]

Valentine or Anniversary Card
My base card is Crumb Cake. I love our new design ink pads, they are so juicy that it works really well with the wheel stamps – I used the standard Travel Journal wheel for some background and miniature images from Collage Curios (page 24 SS). As this card can be either a Valentine […]
