Often when we look to purchase a stamp set, we often consider how versatile the stamp set is and how many different ways we can use the one set to create as many variations of a project or projects. After you have been stamping for a while, having collected a stamp set every so often,… Read More »
In previous posts I have mentioned the Creative Inkers’ Birthday club, whereby we send each other birthday cards. I recently acquired the Large Letter Framelits and was just itching to have a play. What better opportunity than to personalise a birthday card. Using the Large Letter Framelits, this card can easily be adapted to… Read More »
I really have had fun playing with this stamp set. At the time of making this card the set had only just become available to demonstrators so there were no projects on the internet using this set. Often I get inspiration from other demonstrators but in this instance, that wasn’t an option. I started with… Read More »
Winter is here and the temperatures have dropped. Perfect for the mid winter Christmas theme, along with the rain perfect conditions for paper crafting and getting a head start on those Christmas cards. A lot of my friends are in the “keep Christmas in December” brigade, but then the the silly season hits, end of… Read More »
Having looked back on my recent posts I have noticed that they are all from a similar colour palette. Easy to tell that it is a palette that I am comfortable with and tend to move towards naturally.

I think of this as the technique that keeps on giving. In my post from 29 May, I showed you some thank you cards that I made using a background effect created by drops of re-inker in shaving form. Well, while I was playing with the shaving foam, I thought I might as well… Read More »
One of my favourite suites from the new 2017/18 Annual Catalogue is the Colour Theory Suite. I have looked at it longingly in the catalogue for some time. At this point I only have the stamp set, Colourful Seasons but do plan to purchase the matching Seasonal Layers thinlit dies and the Colour Theory DSP… Read More »
For my May thank you cards I thought I’d have a go at the Shaving foam technique. This is technique has been around for a long time but this is the first time I have tried it. Why didn’t I try it sooner? I don’t know. The results are fascinating and different every time. I’m… Read More »
Today’s card I made quite some time ago but thought I’d share it with you as it is a good example (in my opinion) of the floating watercolour technique. Plus it just happens to be a pretty card suitable for many occasions. In this instance, I have heat embossed the rose from the Rose Wonder… Read More »
