I have a fun geometric card to share today. I love geometric patterns and I think they are perfect for masculine cards. I'm really enjoying using stencils more at the moment, so I reached for the MFT Triangles stencil and my favourite distress oxide inks. To add some interest, I also used some patterns from… Continue reading Triangle Patterns
Today I'm sharing a card featuring a rainbow background. I actually made the background several months back, but then I got stuck and was unsure where to go next. When this happens, I prefer to put the project aside and come back to it another time. I used the Altenew Watercolour Stripes stencil and some… Continue reading Rainbow Stripes
Today I’m sharing a card featuring a white heat embossed acetate panel. I love the look of this technique, especially when layered over a panel of colour. I shared another card previously using this technique - click here to check out that card too. I cut a piece of heat resistant acetate and treated it… Continue reading Plane and Simple Embossing
Today I’m sharing a shadow box card featuring the cute aliens from Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up. I usually create a galaxy background when I make space related cards, but I thought it would be fun to use some bright colours this time, to create an alien landscape. I chose some patterned paper from my… Continue reading Alien Birthday Shadow Box Card
Distress oxides are my favourite ink to use. I’ve had my distress oxides for a while but I haven’t used them for watercolour before, so I thought I would try them out on my card today. I chose two colours of distress oxide inks - peacock feathers and cracked pistachio, and pressed the ink pads… Continue reading Happy Balloons with Distress Oxide Watercolour

My card today has a spring feel to it, with the sunshine yellows, complimented by a touch of soft grey. I began by stamping some flowers from the MFT Brushstroke Blooms stamp set. I used MFT… Continue reading Spring Brushstroke Blooms
The Avery Elle Waves Elle-ments die is the star of the show on my post this week. I've created two very different cards to show how versatile cover dies can be. For the first card, I blended on blue ink to create an ombré effect, I added stick it to the back of the card… Continue reading A Wave or Two
I was inspired by a recent video that I saw by Jennifer McGuire, where she used selective die cutting to create a fun top edge to a card. I love to find additional ways to use coordinating dies, so I thought I'd try making my own version with the tiny ninjas. My usual card base… Continue reading Ninja Off the Edge Die Cutting
When I saw the new Spring Bouquet stamp set from Avery Elle, I couldn’t wait to colour the beautiful flowers. One of my favourite ways to colour images at the moment is to use a mix of alcohol markers and coloured pencils, for a no line colouring look. I began by stamping the large bouquet… Continue reading Spring Bouquet
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
