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
I’m sharing a triptych style card today featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Cherry Blossoms stamp set. A triptych is a picture across three panels, and the stitched pieces die is great for creating this look. I wanted to do some watercolouring with my zig pens, so I cut a piece of watercolour card to the… Continue reading Triptych with Cherry Blossoms
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

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
The spotlighting technique is one of my favourites for using on cards. I thought I’d try it with the new Sparkle Dot Patterns 2 set. I die cut two scalloped frames, in the smaller size, from white card. I used one as a guide to know where to stamp my sentiment, one of my favourites… Continue reading Spotlighting with Sparkle Dot Patterns 2
I’m joining in with the Lawn Fawnatics Fun with Dies challenge today. To begin, I die cut two Lawn Fawn stitched squares, slightly smaller than my 4 inch square white card base. I then used a Lawn Fawn Zig Zag square die to cut a window in one of stitched squares. On the other square,… Continue reading Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 24 – Fun with Dies
Spring is my favourite season. I look forward to the tree blossom and daffodils, and hopefully some warmer weather! 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
