Today I’m sharing a card featuring two sets from the recent Hello Bluebird October release - Autumn Script and Fall Buddies. I kept my card very simple, only using a few images from these sets, but there are loads more to choose from. I layered a piece of Lawn Fawn Knit Picky Fall patterned paper… Continue reading Hello Bluebird October 2018 Showcase

Baby Elephants
2016 ended on a high, when my brother and his wife had a beautiful baby girl. As I knew they were having a girl, I had time to prepare a card in advance. I was also able to personalise it with the name they had chosen for her. I started by stamping two large elephants… Continue reading Baby Elephants

For the… Continue reading Little Red Riding Hood at Christmas

Fuchsia Fairy
For my nieces birthday back in April, I created a poppy fairy card, with help from my sister, who designed the fairy. My eldest niece had her 3rd birthday this month, so we thought she should have a fairy card too. This time we made a fuchsia fairy card. Most of the steps for this… Continue reading Fuchsia Fairy

I added some Wink of Stella glitter to the… Continue reading Cinderella Birthday Card

I started by prepping a piece of white cardstock with an anti-static powder tool. I stamped some… Continue reading Inspired by Pinterest #6
