The past few mornings have been quite foggy and damp and autumn is definitely here. So I think it's finally time to start putting away the summer tops and start bringing out the warmer clothes. It must have been at the back of my mind when I was doing my card making marathon last weekend too. Why else would I have used the Suit & Tie Dies to create this masculine sweater birthday card?

Chick Lovers Here’s Two Ideas In One!
After my 24 hour card making marathon over the weekend I sat down to make a quick gift tag today. This idea using the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set and coordinating Birthday Chick Dies came together really easily. However as I was working it occurred to me it was essentially another card, albeit a very small one. So before the final assembly I just had to see what it would look like as a full-sized card, and I love that too. But first let's look at the tag... BIRTHDAY CHICK SCENE This ... VIEW POST
Sweets & Treats – Cupcake Edition
A week or two ago I created a fun bookmark with an apple pie image using the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set. For today's project I went back to the same set but this time for the cupcake. Little images like this make great focal points for simple cards but today I went even smaller. So here's a 3" x 3" card turned into a gift tag with the addition of a punch and twine. It's a great way to practice #simplestamping ideas. FOLDED GIFT TAG I began with my Paper Trimmer and cut a 3" x 6" ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Moments With Blackberry Beauty DSP
After yesterday's Post-It Note® project I wanted to create something much more colourful today. As luck would have it, over the weekend I received an e-mail from the Paper Players with their latest design challenge. Their Color Challenge PP558 included some of my favourite colours that reminded me of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). So with the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set added to my desk I set to work creating this elegant birthday card. BLACKBERRY BEAUTY ... VIEW POST
Elegant And Simple For This Birthday Card
One of the issues I have with "masculine" cards is that they're often drab. But it doesn't have to be that way. While you may want to avoid colourful flowers that are seen as more feminine, it's still possible to create an interesting card. So that was my challenge this morning, and I couldn't help reaching for the entire Simply Elegant Suite Collection to help me. SIMPLY ELEGANT DSP My card began with the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper (DSP). There's lots of gorgeous designs ... VIEW POST
Gilded Leafing – A Successful First Attempt
When it comes to 'new' products and techniques I'm often late to the party. It's not that I'm afraid to try new things, but rather that I'm not one to jump straight in. So it took me a little while to decide to get the Gilded Leafing, and a while longer to actually use it. Gilded leafing comes in a large tub that is full to the brim with the most delicate gold flakes. Using it is essentially quite simple you just attach it to a project with some form of glue. I've seen various technique ... VIEW POST
