I resisted the temptation to get this bundle but in the end I succumbed – I just love all that faux stitching in the dies, and it made more sense to have both the stamp set as well as the dies because they were designed to coordinate. Thank goodness I didn’t let my head rule […]

Amazing Life Challenge
As promised here is the video tutorial I mentioned previously, so the layout looks familiar! I had challenged myself to make a Valentine card with this set using the sentiment “So Happy to Have You in my Life”. This set didn’t have anything remotely “Valentine”-ish, so I cheated a little and added another stamp set […]
All That You Are – Gingham Gala
This set almost passed me by, but set against those FREE Gingham Gala Sale-a-bration papers (subject to a qualifying purchase excluding shipping/handling), they make such a refreshing backdrop for the floral image. Often times when the seasonal catalogues arrive, we forget that there are still little gems in the Annual Catalogue we can tap into. […]
Amazing Life – Notecard Swaps
At the time of filming and scheduling this blogpost, these team swaps very nearly didn’t happen. My conscience got the better of me as I felt I could not attend the meeting empty handed. On the penultimate eve of the meeting, I knew sleep would escape me unless I physically got the job done. Consequently […]

According to history, afternoon tea was introduced in […]
Flowering Desert – Rectangle Stitched Framelits
I’m on a mission to use more of the Very Vanilla Thick card stock this new year. Oftentimes I reach for the Whisper White, and the Very Vanilla Thick gets forgotten! This Flowering Desert stamp set can be so easily overlooked – but whether you like succulents or not, this stamp set has its merits! […]
Sweetest Thing – Sweet Cup
I am not a graphic artist or a mathematician, so in order to create a template for covering the Sweet Cup, there is no alternative but to de-construct one. I then lay it flat in order to trace the arc and scanned it. I extended the cup by 1/4 ” to allow for an overlap. […]
Butterfly Gala – One Sheet Wonder
Are you a frugal crafter? Today’s project illustrates how you can make a little go a long way! From just a 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) sheet of paper, I had the potential to make 9 card layouts. For this video I made a half dozen as it was a nice round number. I’ve […]
