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
Today I’m sharing a card using the Lawn Fawn Upon a Star stamps and dies. On the card base, I used embossing - both regular stamp embossing and dry embossing with the dies. 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
Today I’m sharing another preview of the upcoming Pretty Pink Posh June release. Koala Friends is such an adorable set, and another must have. I really love the sentiment included in the set too.

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
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
