Custom-Coloured Leafy Trellis

February 22, 2019 10 Comments

Every now and then I seem to get stuck in a rut. Right now my rut involves wanting to do everything, all at once. While it makes for a very messy craft room, it does allow me to really be creative. That's how I ended up with a custom-coloured leafy trellis, along with a simple way to attach said trellis, and a tip for the Detailed Trio Punch. All this for just one gift tag. LEAFY TRELLIS It all started when I was playing with the leafy trellis panel from the Delightfully Detailed ... VIEW POST

Beach wedding – life imitates art

August 14, 2018 2 Comments

Regular followers of my blog will know that recently we attended our daughter's beach wedding in Lanzarote.  It's a beautiful volcanic island off the west coast of Morocco, and a place that's very dear to them.  Since then I've been working on creating special pieces to commemorate the occasion, and today I wanted to show you this simple scrapbook page. THE STORY For me, creating a scrapbook page is all about the story.  What do I want the 'reader' to get from this? This particular 12" ... VIEW POST

Heat embossing tips

July 3, 2018 Leave a Comment

I love heat embossing, there's something quite magical about stamping an image, sprinkling it with powder and watching it morph into a shiny, raised design simply by the application of heat.  But while the theory is simple, results can vary and I've found that it's definitely worth taking a little time if you want to get really good results. My birthday card project today is all about the heat embossing and I reveal my top ten heat embossing tips along the way. It's no secret that I ... VIEW POST

Embarrassingly simple

June 10, 2018 2 Comments

I've lots planned for today, but that's OK as I usually have a simple project for you on a Sunday.  I must say though that I nearly didn't show you this one as although it's gorgeous to look at, it's so simple to make it's positively embarrassing. I took a short pillar candle (this one smells of cranberries!) and wrapped a piece from the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper around the centre (vanilla side showing), trimmed it with Paper Snips so there was a slight overlap and ...

Easy flower arranging

June 8, 2018 Leave a Comment

I've never really been a 'flower' type of person.  My family will tell you that I'm not a fan of cut flowers (they're already dying when you get them), although rooted plants for the garden or home are nice.  In fact in 2011 I received a planted basket of mostly green plants and it's still growing quite nicely thank you, despite my regular neglect. I often find myself wondering then why I seem to be drawn to flowers in my papercrafting.  I keep telling myself I don't need more flower images ... VIEW POST
