When spirits are low, sometimes it’s nice to receive a card to let that person know you care. I couldn’t make a card for her sister and not one for my best friend to wish her a safe journey – she’ll be flying back to Brazil to see her sister at the end of the […]

A Get Well Card
I made this card for my best friend’s sister who I stayed with in Brazil. Her sister fell 4 metres from a ladder and is very ill in hospital. I’m absolutely devastated and hope she will make a complete recovery in due course – it will be a lengthy process but thank goodness she has […]
Greenhouse Garden
In conjunction with Sale-a-bration, the Greenhouse Garden Stamp set had been singled out by Stampin’ Up! to highlight the plight of the Haitians who suffered a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on 12 January 2010. £1 will be donated from the sale of each Greenhouse Garden stamp set to the Red Cross’ International Response Fund to provide […]
A Good Egg
I botched the card that the lovely Helen had designed whilst at the Shoe Box Swap, so I came home and duplicated it but accidentally smudged the top of this card with Black Stazon ink. So I made another one (shown in a previous post) with Helen’s original design. However, I decided not to let […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I ruched some Whisper White taffeta ribbon and adhered it to the underside of the stamped heart as illustrated above and below. Additional card stock was added to the inside covers in order to sandwich the 1 1/4″ wide striped grosgrain ribbon for the ties. I also made these tiny treats folders to house confectionery […]

Shoe Box Swaps at Inspiring Inkin’ Social evening
At our Inspiring Inkin’ monthly meeting in February, Amanda organised a shoe box swap so we each had to design a card, put all the materials, tools, accessories and ink pads and cardstock in a shoebox (or container the size of a shoebox) and everyone made each other’s design. Please note that the order of […]
A Beautiful Thing, Whimsical Words – Sale-a-bration
I’ve used “To the Nines” specialty paper for this box. It’s quite heavy duty and absolutely ideal for this tiny box. Instead of snipping the slots on the corner, it’s all about folding. The lid was made deeper so that a strip of Always Artichoke could be added around the middle and some Kraft ribbon […]
