Masculine card with Rhino Ready
I am continuing with Rhino Ready to make another masculine card. I added the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set to stamp “dad” then fussy cut these out so that they would fit on the edge of the Radiating Stitches frame. By the way, there is a coordinating punch with the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set but I […]
Centre step card with Rhino Ready
Today I have a fun fold centre step card made with Rhino Ready cling stamps and Rhino Ready dies, both of which are Online Exclusives. I suddenly realised that June is almost upon us and Father’s Day is not far off on June 18th. Consequently I have had to re-shuffle my schedule and squeeze in […]

Mondrian art technique – Cheerful Daisies
I applied Piet Mondrian’s art technique to a clean, simple card with the Cheerful Daisies bundle. There is a beginner’s version, from clean and simple, to a casual version adding additional cardstock, and the avid crafter’s version which includes the use of extra dies and/or stamps. Beginner’s card The card base for all three versions […]
Cute treat bag with Circle Sayings
I made this cute treat bag with Circle Sayings and the Countryside Corners Dies. The largest Countryside Corners die were ideal for altering to make a great treat bag. Circle Sayings has a 2 ⅜” circle punch which coordinates with it, but I didn’t get the punch as I thought I already owned it. Unfortunately […]
