Just a very quick card to share with you on Sunday – I’ve only just acquired this stamp set – I had resisted it for so long, but after much proscratinating decided it was a set that could be used for other things besides a wedding. This could be a congratulatory card for an anniversary. […]

Sew Lovely, Occasional Greetings
Good morning everyone, or should I say G’Day depending on which part of the world you’re from and when you visit! 😉 I thought this would be a quick card – but it took me longer than I expected. I dug out my patchwork quilt book and copied the pattern to make this background which […]
Nature Walk
I love the bird cage in the Nature Walk stamp set, but the bird seemed disproportionate to the size of the cage. Things closer to you appear larger, so I stamped the bird on a scrap piece of Whisper White, matted it on to Early Espresso and cut around the contour then applied crystal effects to […]
Nature Walk, Growing Green
When the card is closed, the circles are stacked on top of each other as pictured above. Thank you to Alyssa for the inspiration – I can’t remember her second name – it starts with a Z and was difficult to pronounce that’s why I forgot! Just by attaching the brads strategically as pictured above, […]

Everything is back in its proper place as we had to raise the plumb line to stop baby getting his hands on things he shouldn’t […]
A Flower for All Seasons

Clearly for You, Curly Cute
Lesley asked for something girly, so I demonstrated the use of bevelled window panes, the rock n’ roll technique and the embosslit folder Beautiful Butterflies. The butterfly is from Clearly for You and is available in Wood mount as well as Clear mount and there are 12 stamps in the set in the Mini Catalogue. Also featured is […]
Baby Blossoms, Four Frames
This is the card I designed for the Make & Take at a workshop for the lovely Lesley last night with a group of lovely ladies too. Her brief was to do a card using the Springtime Vintage Designer papers and something feminine. The cardstock I’ve used is Baja Breeze, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. I ran the Baja […]
