Today we received a christmas card from an acquaintance who we met whilst on a grand tour of Italy to mark our Silver Wedding Anniversary in 2000. The christmas card is from an elderly gentleman who was on tour with us together with his charming wife and she sent us a christmas card every year […]

Oops – and we all fall down!
I landed unceremoniously in a heap sitting on our temporary dining table which is a collapsible picnic table that folds out into a four seater bench and packs up into a long ,thin, flat trunk. My ever so galant other half was speechless trying to stifle his laughter but didn’t succeed! Me, my laptop, the […]
Fresh Cut Notes – with Vellum
This is the final one for this session. I used vellum for the insert, tore the edges to distress it, stamped the large script stamp from Fresh Cuts set and embossed it in black. I inserted the vellum inside the Fresh Cuts note to gauge where I should tear the Fresh Cuts front of card […]

Fresh Cut Notes
This is a really quick card. Take a Whisper White Fresh Cut Note and cut a piece of contrasting coloured cardstock slightly smaller than the Fresh Cut Note, score and fold in half and this will sit inside it. Versamark the Fresh Cut script stamp and stamp image on the coloured cardstock (I used Barely […]
