I’m continuing my theme of simple floral cards on the SHC blog this week. My card today features no ink blending or colouring at all! Almost unheard of for me! My inspiration for this card came from a clothing print that I really like. I chose a piece of stripy patterned paper from my craft… Continue reading Red Stripes and Spring Bouquet
I’m sharing a baby card today featuring the Spellbinders New Arrival stamp and die set. I love the large image of the stork carrying the baby, along with the accompanying sentiments. The design of this card could easily be adapted for a baby boy card. I began by blending tattered rose distress oxide ink over… Continue reading Special Delivery
Today I’m sharing a geometric design with simple stamping. I love designs that are quick and easy to recreate if you need a card in a hurry. For this technique, you need either a circle stencil or a set of circle dies in various sizes to make your own stencil. I blended on different sized… Continue reading Florals and Circles
For my card today, I decided to create a sunset sky for the Darling Dragonflies to feature on. I began by blending distress oxides onto a piece of white card. I used candied apple and wild honey. From this, I die cut the Hugs Shaker die in the centre. With some black ink, I stamped… Continue reading Dragonfly Sunset
Rose gold, pink and navy... what a beautiful combination! This colour combination was my starting point for this card. I decided to make my own background using the Flora and Fauna Texture and Texture Two stamp sets. I used a combination of ink and embossing for the stripy background. Using a rounded rectangle die, I… Continue reading Rose Gold with Pink and Navy

After heat embossing the stamped constellations in white, I then ran the card base through my die cutting machine with the dies… Continue reading Embossing with Upon a Star

I began this card by die cutting the Tic-Tac-Toe die four times from white card stock. I positioned one temporarily on… Continue reading Koala Friends
When I saw the images in the Spellbinders Shake It Up set, I could just imagine a chorus line of shakers dancing together. That was the inspiration for my card today. On a white piece of card, I heat embossed a line of shakers with silver embossing powder. I left a space in the line… Continue reading Shake It Off
Today I'm sharing my third card as a guest designer for Spellbinders, showcasing the Perfect Match collection by Debi Adams. My card today features the fabulous Friends of a Feather. I wanted to place the toucan in a tropical setting so teamed him with bright colours and lush foliage. I began by blending some abandoned… Continue reading Spellbinders Guest Designer – Friends of a Feather
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
