In February, my husband and I celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. I must admit, I am not a mushy demonstrative person so cards for my husband particularly for Valentines and anniversaries can be a little challenging. To be fair, masculine cards in general can be challenging but the new Nailed It stamp set really helps. So,… Read More: Nailed It »
Recently I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Creative Inkers Stamp Camp in Rotorua. Despite the torrential rain all weekend we had a fabulous time (as always) with lots of paper crafting, swaps and many, many laughs.

For today’s card I have made an Easter Card which I believe could also be appropriate for a sympathy card, maybe also a wedding and christening card. Really quite versatile. My inspiration came from Beth Adams. The cross and the leaves were created by using dies from the Flourish thinlits, the flowers are punched with… Read More: Sale-a-bration – Avant Garden Background »
If you can’t tell by now, I love this stamp set. I had a great time playing around with it and coming up with several different projects. The image on this card is perhaps a little more solemn but still works well with the sentiment. What better way to feel alive than a walk in… Read More: Beautiful You – Re-revisited »
Just in case you thought the Window Box dies were only for creating the box here’s an idea using one of the dies in conjunction with bit of watercolouring to create a simple but elegant card. To start, cut a piece of Shimmery White card stock slightly smaller than the top layer. Spritz lightly with… Read More: Watercolour Window Box Card »
