Bird Banter – Farewell

I don’t believe it!  Just one of those things.  I hummed and “aahed” and then eventually bit the bullet and got this set only to find that it was retiring and I hadn’t even inked it up yet!  So I’m making the most of it now. and made a set of 6 narrow notecards using […]

Waterfront Tutorial by request

Hi there Sue and Sibylle – you requested a video tutorial on this Waterfront Night Scene I created in my blogpost HERE,  I hadn’t forgotten, just finding the time to do it!  Being a hand-crafted card, no two are the same, and it was more awkward standing up to create version 2 with the camera in […]

Flying Home – Fun Fold

This might look complicated, but it really isn’t – and in order to simplify actually measuring out all the pieces of layers you need, I used the Layering Squares Framelits Dies so you didn’t have to.  The colour combo of Tranquil Tide with Lemon Lime Twist is really vibrant!  Love it! It’s easier to visually […]
