Today I have a quadruple easel card using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set. Hedgehogs may be prickly to handle, but they are so cute! The countdown to the end of Sale-a-bration has begun! It finishes on 28 February, and to my dismay, I have yet to use the Daffodil Afternoon DSP. The papers are free […]

Fun Fold Swing Card
Ooh – I love a fun fold swing card or two! They really are fun and deceptively easy! Some strategic cutting with the trimmer, a few score lines and voilà it’s done! I tried to make it as simple as possible without having lots of pieces of card stock as layers! The magic number is […]
Easy Floral fun fold card
Here’s an easy floral fun fold card! I have been eyeing the “Flowing Flowers” stamp set for ages and had to wait till the launch of the catalogue before I could order it!

Today it comes in many different patterns and colours. Stampin’ Up! have brought out their own patterns in the form of […]
