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 »
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 »
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 »

As part of that gathering we can opt into a team swap, which involves the participants making a number of cards or small 3D items all the same, and then swapping them… Read More »
With the end of the school year comes the usual panic for gifts for those fabulous teachers and this year was no except for us. I had made up a selection of cards similar to a card I posted a few days ago, but in different colours. My daughter then asked if we could… Read More »
A very special young lady had a birthday a few days ago and she received a few handmade cards. The first one was inspired by Stampin by Hannah. My measurements are different and are designed to make a flat card that fits into an envelope that is A5 sized, approximately. Basically I used an A4… Read More »
I must admit I was hesitated to purchase this set, but I decided to take the plunge and give it a go and I’m glad I did. It’s a very versatile set with many lovely sentiments and greetings. For this card, I stamped the image once in the corner using Dapper Denim ink pad on… Read More »
