I love geometric patterns and they are definitely a favourite of mine for those tricky masculine cards. For my card today, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Storyboard 4 die to cut rectangles and squares from different card and patterned papers. I think a mix of plain and patterned paper looks good for this design.… Continue reading Geometric Pattern with Storyboards

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
Lace Hearts
One of my favourite techniques at the moment is dry embossing with dies. I think this is a great way to get more use out of the dies that you have in your collection, plus get some different looks. I shared this technique on a recent card featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Hummingbirds - you… Continue reading Lace Hearts
MFT Sketch Challenge 371
I had such a lovely time as a guest on the MFT sketch challenge last month. A new sketch started on Wednesday so I had to play along! I’ve gone for lots of bright vibrant colour for my card. I used the Stitched Mod Rectangles for the four panels on the sketch, layering smaller white… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 371
Hearts and Love Sentiments
The new Love Sentiments set from Pretty Pink Posh has some lovely hearts in various styles and sizes. I thought they would make a great background to accompany a sentiment from the same set. I stamped a scattered hearts background with versamark, heat embossing them in various metallic embossing powders. For a sentiment, I stamped… Continue reading Hearts and Love Sentiments
Blue and White Petunias
I’m continuing my love of blue and white florals with my card today. This time, I’m using colouring pencils for a different look. I began by white heat embossing some flowers and leaves from the Pretty Pink Posh Pretty Petunias stamp set. I then chose some blue shades of pencils and did some very simple… Continue reading Blue and White Petunias
Playful Cats
I have a bright colourful card to share today. It features a grid of squares, which is one of my favourite designs when I want to include lots of cute images on a card. I began by inking up a piece of card with a rainbow of different inks. I spritzed them generously with water… Continue reading Playful Cats
Copics with Coloured Pencils
I was reminded the other day of a colouring technique I used for a card ages ago. It’s no-line colouring with a mix of copics and colouring pencils. I was inspired to try the technique again, this time with the Pretty Pink Posh Hummingbird Thanks and Pretty Petunias stamp sets. I stamped the images on… Continue reading Copics with Coloured Pencils

Birthday in Space
My card today features one of my favourite stamp sets from last year - Lawn Fawn Out of this World. I’d made some galaxy backgrounds a while back and still have a few left, so began by diecutting a circle of galaxy for my card. I then die cut a larger scalloped circle from white… Continue reading Birthday in Space
