I saw the most stunning card by the wonderful May Sukyong Park, and I just had to have a go at recreating it. I encourage you to take a look at May's blog as she is incredibly talented. I started by prepping a piece of white cardstock with an anti-static powder tool. I stamped some… Continue reading Inspired by Pinterest #6
I'm playing along with MFT Camp Create today, with a card for the 'Divine Dry Embossing' challenge. This isn't a technique I've really explored before so was fun to try something new. I used a tan embossing mat with my Cuttlebug machine, to dry emboss on white card the 'happy birthday' words from the MFT… Continue reading Divine Dry Embossing
I've been enjoying making cards with geometric patterns recently. I thought I'd share two very different cards I've made with the Mama Elephant Trifecta stamp set. This set features triangles and arrows to make your own patterns with and is very versatile. I started by heat embossing in white the triangle outlines from the set.… Continue reading Geometric cards with Mama Elephant Trifecta

I blended distress ink in green and yellow onto white card, then used the Lil'Inker Designs Quilted Stitch cover die to add detail. I… Continue reading Musical Geometric Card

I started by using white pigment ink to stencil four balloons across the card front. Layering colour over white… Continue reading Balloons on Kraft

Making your own stencils using dies you have is a great way to stretch your supplies further. I used gathered twigs distress ink to stencil the branch onto white… Continue reading CAS(E) This Sketch #183
The feather detail in the Clearly Besotted Tickle My Fancy stamp set is beautiful. The set includes solid and detail stamps, but I am just using the detail stamps for this card. I started by prepping a piece of watercolour card with my anti-static powder tool. I then stamped the detail feathers (3 different sizes)… Continue reading Clearly Besotted Tickle My Fancy
A fun and quick card to share today. On watercolour card stock, I blended distress inks in blue and green. I then flicked the background with water, dabbing away the drops after a few seconds, to lift the colour underneath away, leaving a distressed background effect. I also flicked over the background some Ranger Perfect… Continue reading Three Cheers
