Marking St David’s Day With A Finished Card

March 1, 2020 Leave a Comment

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

February 23, 2020 6 Comments

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. DAFFODILS HAVE 6 PETALS While I don't have a 'daffodil' punch, what I do have is the Perennial Flower Punch which has 3 petals. Knowing that all daffodils have 6 petals all I needed to start was two shapes punched from Daffodil Delight Card. Using a light Mango Melody Stampin' Blends alcohol marker I then drew 3 ...

Inspired for Chinese New Year

January 14, 2020 Leave a Comment

I find inspiration everywhere. A lot of it comes from our garden and the view over the bay. Today's project is different. My inspiration came from a Chinese New Year display in my local Walmart. The display I saw was full of red and gold colours that are considered lucky. So I immediately thought of creating something with a Good Luck sentiment. NOT CHINESE NEW YEAR I began with a piece of Very Vanilla Card that I wiped with an Embossing Buddy to remove any oils and static. ... VIEW POST

Pretty Poppies With A Familiar Story

January 8, 2020 2 Comments

Yes it's time for another winter storm, followed by a day to clean up before the next one hits. Did I tell you I'm ready for winter to be over? It's no wonder I was inspired to create this bookmark with pretty poppies and "new beginnings" sentiment. COLOURED POPPIES I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Thick Whisper White Card shaped at the top using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. 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

December 21, 2019 Leave a Comment

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
