I've made a few slimline cards but I'm pretty sure I've always taken the easy option of using 12" x 12" paper. However today I decided to try make this simple Sunday project using paper that's pre-cut at 6" x 6". Whenever I design a card I always decorate the inside and the accompanying envelope, and doing all that with one single 6” x 6” sheet of paper would be a challenge. I managed it though and the result was this birthday card using the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set. 6x6 PAPER ... VIEW POST
Fern Changing Colours
As I sat down to create today’s project I had just a very vague idea of what I was doing. All I knew was that I wanted to experiment a little more with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. In previous experiments I’d simply embossed coloured card, which turned out remarkably well. After that I'd inked up some card before embossing the fern design into it, and adding other ink colours afterwards. Today I wanted to see what would happen if I started by embossing Basic White Card before inking ... VIEW POST
Starry Sky Monochrome
Do you make one project and walk away, or do you create several in one sitting? For me it often comes down to inspiration. I often think of new project ideas while I’m still working on something else. For this reason I generally keep a notebook handy so I can write things down before I forget. Other times it’s not a specific project that I think of, but rather a desire to keep using a particular product. That’s how I ended up with this birthday card in monochrome Starry Sky. DECORATIVE ...

Wonderful Sale-A-Bration Ends Soon
Oh how quickly the weather changes. These past few mornings have started out quite foggy and there’s a definite chill in the air.

However you still have until Wednesday to earn free exclusive products with a qualifying order. So today I decided my project should feature the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper available ...

Candle Celebrations
I’m not sure how it can be Monday already, but apparently it is. They say time flies when you’re having fun, and I was definitely enjoying myself in the craft studio this weekend. Exploring new stamp sets and dies, and rediscovering old ones is my favourite way to relax. Yesterday I went back to the new Celebrations Tag Dies. My intention was to test out the second style of tag this set creates. In fact I was having so much fun I didn’t even think to grab a stamp set! TAKE 3 CELEBRATIONS ... VIEW POST
No Hippo Today
In my blog post yesterday I pointed out that there are acorn and oak leaf dies in the Fond of Autumn Dies, and that these pair beautifully with the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set. Today I have another of these coordination surprises to show you. This time while making a birthday card using the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP) I thought the flowers looked familiar. So I went on a little hunt. Eventually I found dies that matched the flowers in an unexpected place, the Hippo Dies ... VIEW POST
