Today I'm sharing a monster pivot birthday card, which I made for my nephew. I began by stamping and colouring lots of images from the Lawn Fawn Monster Mash stamp set. I fussy cut them out and added some gel pen, glossy accents and glitter details. Front of the card I decided on a party… Continue reading Monster Pivot Pop-Up

Inspired by the May Challenge
My card today is inspired by the May challenge over on the SHC VIPs Facebook group. I love the inspiration photo with the rainbow colours and bold sentiment. I began by working on the background. On a white card base, I repeatedly stamped an image from the Flora and Fauna Texture Two stamp set. I… Continue reading Inspired by the May Challenge
Triangle Patterns
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
Rainbow Stripes
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
Ninja Off the Edge Die Cutting
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
Carousel of Colour

It visits each year and I always love walking through the fair during my lunch break, taking photos, sampling food, and watching all the fun. It inspired my card today. I wanted to show the fun and excitement of the fair by… Continue reading Carousel of Colour
Celebrate with Orchids
I have a floral card to share today. I haven't reached for my floral sets much recently, so it was nice to use the Altenew Orchid set again. I only used two layers of the orchid layering set this time - the outline and a detail layer, which I stamped with a pink ink. I… Continue reading Celebrate with Orchids
Rainbow Baby Box Card
Hello, I have another box card to share today. I began this new baby box card by creating the pieces to go inside it. I die cut two MFT Stitched Rainbows, as I wanted a rainbow on both sides. As I needed a smaller rainbow to fit within the box card, I only used the… Continue reading Rainbow Baby Box Card
Watercolour Roses
It's been a while since I've done any watercolouring so it was time to get my zig clean colour real brush pens out again for this card. I started by heat embossing some leaves from the Altenew Hello Sunshine stamp set with gold embossing powder. I added a sentiment from the Altenew Celebrate stamp set… Continue reading Watercolour Roses
