I’m late for the post to Australia as usual, and had to dash off some quick christmas cards – I don’t send handmade cards to everyone, just to my immediate family and a few crafty friends who appreciate how much work can go into a card. This one’s for my Mum. Share this… Facebook Twitter […]

This was quick and easy to make. Rounding off the corners made it a little more special. My friend’s grandson is mad about trains, so this was a perfect choice for him. The card was too dark, so I added a Whisper White mat inside and stamped with a sentiment and a bit of the […]

I made this quite some time ago, but haven’t posted till now – I’d originally thought of doing it for a workshop, but it was far too time consuming although it does give a WOW factor and then I decided that it was too nice to give away so I’m keeping it. I love paper […]

I used the large ornament from Tree Trimmings and stamped it 6 times, cut them out, stacked them and pierced a hole through all the layers, used a rhinestone brad to secure it and fanned it out so it looks like an snowflake. The matted layers had the corners nipped out with a quadrant of […]

Back to Tree Trimmings, another way to use the ornament. Loving the word window punch – was able to make the rim of the flower pot with it.
