Rub Ons – Cherished Memories & Pretties Kit

Some time ago, I used rub-ons on my soap dispenser to make it more visible as both the dispenser and my worktop was black, I couldn’t see it! Well, you can use it to embellish a card too! My card “topper” was Real Red, cut a tad smaller than the base card in Whisper White. […]

Ovals All and Top Note Template

Fellow Team Mate, Vannessa, made a similar card for the Inspiring Inkin Challenge #2 and I liked it so much I wanted to have a bash at it myself. My favourite colour is blue, so I thought I ought to try a different colour combo this time. I’ve used Always Artichoke for the card base, […]

A Little Bit of Happiness, Shapes & Shadows

I needed a Thank You card pronto so made this really quick and simple card. I used the leaf from a retired set – Shapes and Shadows and stamped randomly with Versamark on Very Vanilla card stock then used the Pastels to rub over it to create a more distinctive watermark. Inked with Black Stazon […]

Bloomin’ with Beauty

Two posts in one day! I’ve been meaning to photograph this, so since I had the “studio” set up for the other card, I thought I may as well take this photo and post it as well. This is a bought card blank, pre-embossed and ready to embellish. I stamped the image with versamark and […]

Live Your Dream

Frames with a Flourish, Sincere Salutations

I needed to make a card to wish my daughter Good Luck for her exam on Thursday and Sincere Salutations was the only set I could find that had “Good Luck” in it.  I paired this up with one of the stamps from Frames with a Flourish, cut round it, raised it on dimensionals, double […]

Scene in a Garden & Greetings Eight for Father’s Day

Sadly, I have no Daddy to make this for,  nor does DH, but there are gazillions of Dad’s still out there who still need cards made for them, so I came up with this design. The left hand edge was embossed in gold with the Scandinavian wheel pattern and a length of Whisper White grosgrain […]

Petal Party

I had some left over paper from the Petal Party Simply Scrappin’ kit and decided to do a tri- shutter card with it.   I made the fatal mistake of looking in my reading list and Carrie who is a member of my Technique Club and super talented had just made one.  So this got […]
