Exploding Birthday Message

These exploding boxes are still my favourite way to record memories so I made one for my grandson who is celebrating his third birthday. They say a picture speaks a “thousand words” so I haven’t bothered with a description on how to make it! Side 2 …. Side 3 …. Side 4 … I made […]

Two-step Bird Punch

I made this dinky little milk carton into a bird house, layered the roof tiles with scallop edge strips inked in Chocolate Chip and added texture to the cardstock to resemble wood cladding for the bird house. I used a polka dot embossing folder on some scrap card stock before punching out the bird and […]

Thank goodness we had that extra hour with the clocks changing. I eventually […]

Snowman Soup, So Swirly

This is yet another sample I made up for the christmas themed workshop I did recently. I used the So Swirly jumbo with versamark on Bashful Blue card stock and white embossed before cutting out the cup from a template I purchased from Lauren. She owns the copyright so the template cannot be distributed or […]
