Water colour backgrounds without the mess seems like an apt title for this card. How does one achieve this, you might ask. Thank you Stampin’ Up! for bringing us their patented “distinktive” range of stamps which incorporates light and shade to give a three dimensional look to their images. Say “hello” to the new Watercolor […]

Clean and simple card with All Squared away
A clean and simple card with the All Squared Away bundle for today’s post. I loved the samples in the catalogue of the All Squared Away bundle and couldn’t decide whether I should get them or not. So as you can tell, I lost the battle with my “sensible” head. Finally, I found time to […]
Clean and simple – less is more
I’m a great advocate of clean and simple cards and firmly believe that sometimes less is more. Too often I feel I’m short changing people if I don’t put more effort into a project, particularly when making card.

Clean and Simple card – Pretty Perennials

Blended oval background card
Blending is a way of adding colour to your project and today’s card has a blended oval background. The oval is actually a die cut oval aperture and raised with foam strips. It’s like looking through an oval window to a vista beyond. Stampin’ Up! introduced blending brushes in their product line recently, but they’ve […]
Clean and simple Card for Mother’s Day with Welcoming Window
I really enjoyed making this clean and simple card for Mother’s Day using the Welcoming Window Bundle. In England we mark Mothering Sunday on the second Sunday of March so this week I’ve had to squeeze as many Mother’s Day cards as I could! Last time I used the Welcoming Window Bundle, I created an […]
