I seem to be using my distress oxide inks on everything right now! I was a little late to the party and, frankly, wasn’t sure what all the fuss was about! That was until I got a set, and they really are as fabulous as everyone says! I got the WPlus9 Holiday Trimmings stamp set… Continue reading Holiday Trimmings and Distress Oxides
Happy Saturday! As many of you may know, I’m a fan of a cover die. Especially ones as versatile as the Mama Elephant Grid Window. What I love about this one is the possibilities for different looks, just by cutting it and making larger windows within the frame. For my card today, I've combined it… Continue reading Little Agenda Hooray
I’m having fun joining in with the MFT sketch challenges. Sketches are definitely my favourite type of challenge - I love having a starting point and figuring out how to interpret it. This is my card for sketch challenge 356. I started by die cutting a rounded rectangle from the blueprints 31 set. From this,… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 356
I got the Brother Scan N Cut a few months back and am really pleased with my purchase. It’s an investment but I’m sure I’ve already got my money’s worth. A few people have asked me for more information about it, so I thought I’d put my thoughts into a blog post for anyone else… Continue reading Brother Scan N Cut

I love the modern look and the beautifully written sentiments that WPlus9 do so well. I’ve gone with some non traditional Christmas colours for my card today. Using the 'merry & bright' sentiment as inspiration,… Continue reading Merry and Bright

I’m joining in with the MFT sketch challenge today. The card base I used was actually left over from another project. I’d made a mistake when stamping on it, but decided to keep it anyway, just in case I could use it somehow. I loved the look of the stamping for this card so I… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 355
I love big sentiments on cards and the Neat & Tangled Hooray is so fun! That font is gorgeous and works so well as a focal point. I teamed it with the balloon duo stencils, also from Neat & Tangled. These stencils are really clever. I began by using the stencils to add balloons across… Continue reading Hooray for Balloons
I’m joining in with this weeks sketch challenge on the MFT blog. I decided to rotate the sketch to make it a vertical card. I die cut a rounded rectangle using a die from the Blueprints 31 set. I adhered patterned paper to the edges, also cut with the die to get the same shape… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 354
The girl from the MFT Jumping with Joy stamp set looks like she's having so much fun, playing in the leaves! I coloured her in using Faber Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils. The die cut leaves are heat embossed in gold and coloured with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens. On a piece of white… Continue reading Jumping in Autumn Leaves
