Pretty Pink Posh Spring Days
I love the square scenes in the new Spring Days stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh. The coordinating die set includes a frame for these scenes too, which is such a great idea. I think these scenes are just perfect for CAS cards, my favourite style of cards to make. For this card, I began… Continue reading Pretty Pink Posh Spring Days

Wish Rainbow Stack
I’ve got a CAS card to share today, with a rainbow twist! I’m using the new Wish dienamic from MFT for this card. I die cut a piece of white card with the single stich rounded rectangle frame. On the inside piece, I die cut the Wish dienamic in the bottom right corner. I added… Continue reading Wish Rainbow Stack
Pink Candles Wish
I'm joining in with the challenge at Addicted to CAS today. Their code word is Wish. I started by blending pink distress inks onto a piece of card, flicking it with water to create some details. I did the same with another piece of card, this time using yellow and oranges. Using the MFT Birthday… Continue reading Pink Candles Wish
Chevron and Mini Modern Blooms
The MFT Split Chevron cover-up die-namic is perfect as a backdrop for creating a clean and simple card. Pop over to the Seven Hills Crafts blog to see how I made this card. With a different sentiment, this design works great for a modern wedding card.
CAS(E) This Sketch #183
I'm playing along with the challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch today. I began by die cutting a template for the branch using the Spellbinders Cherry Blossoms die set.

I used gathered twigs distress ink to stencil the branch onto white… Continue reading CAS(E) This Sketch #183
Lil’Inker Dual Stitched Triangles
When I saw the Lil'Inker Dual Stitched Triangles dies, I thought they would be great for creating lots of different cards. I think geometric designs really lend themselves well to masculine cards. The card I'm sharing today was quick and simple to make. I started by drawing a faint line in pencil across a piece… Continue reading Lil’Inker Dual Stitched Triangles
Christmas in July Part 2
For my Christmas cards this year, I'm aiming to keep as many of them as I can as one layer cards. I love layers and embellishments but they do add to the bulk when mailing. I found the WPlus9 Folk Art Flurries stamp set on eBay recently for a good price. This set has beautiful… Continue reading Christmas in July Part 2
Arrows
Along with the triangles in the Mama Elephant Trifecta stamp set, it also comes with some fun arrow stamps. I used them to make a summery background. I used the mini Misti stamping tool to help me line up the stamp properly, choosing inks in some bright colours. Next, I die cut from gold glitter paper, a 'birthday'… Continue reading Arrows
