Exactly one week ago I was experimenting with daffodils. Well experimenting with how to make 3D daffodils from card. The jury's still out one which version of the two was more popular, but as today is St David's Day I just could resist using one to make this card. SPRING COLOURS I wanted to have a spring-like feel to my St. David's Day project so chose Pear Pizzazz Card for the base. First I cut and scored it using my Paper Trimmer. Then I folded the card along the scored line and ... VIEW POST
An Unfinished Tale Of Two Daffodils
Today's simple Sunday project involves some experimentation and two different daffodils. I haven't yet decided what to do with these, but I thought I'd show you anyway.

Then using some Stampin' Sponge I added a light coating of Seaside Spray ink. Towards the bottom of ... VIEW POST
The Power Of Sneak Peeks
Well the project I'd planned to bring you this morning has had to be postponed due to my slow internet connection. The video is taking way longer than usual to upload so I'm going to plan B. But don't worry I still have a sneak peek for you. Today's project uses a stamp set that you'll be able to get for free during Sale-A-Bration. It's called Power of Hope and will come in a bundle with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. All you need to do to get the free bundle is place an order for $120 ... VIEW POST
