• Hoppy Easter

  

  I can’t get enough of these adorable little bunnies from Mama Elephant! Today I’m sharing some mini slimline cards that I made with this set and the Landscape Edge dies from Time for Tea Designs. I started out by stamping all my bunnies and their Easter eggs in Gina K’s obsidian black amalagm ink, which […]

• Back to basics with emboss resist

  I recently found that I had so many crafty ideas and projects I wanted to try, and lots of lovely new products to play with, that my mind was a bit of a scrambled mess and I didn’t know where to start! I was craving something simple, and so I decided to do some nice […]

• Con-grad-ulations

  

  As soon as my friend Rebecca told me she was going to apply to retrain as a nurse, I knew she’d ace it. She’s super caring and smart and of course she was offered a place everywhere she interviewed! So, obviously I had a card already made and waiting to go when she was offered […]

• Hey dumplin’… It’s bento long!

  

  Who doesn’t love a good sushi pun, right? Finally got chance to break out this adorable Gina K set (I Like The Way You Roll), to make this fun little bookmark. I started out by stamping the images in Gina K obsidian black ink and colouring them with Spectrum Noir markers. Next, I fussy cut […]

• Patterned paper thank you cards

  

  My daughter turned one a few weeks ago and so I needed to make a bunch of thank you cards for our kind friends and family who sent gifts. I like to make matching card sets when I’m doing thank yous, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out a technique I saw […]

• Get well soon

  

  I love this botanical diamond die from Taylored Expressions. It comes with a number of sentiments, so it’s really versatile! On this occasion, I needed a Get Well Soon card for my good friend who, along with her family, is suffering with Covid right now. I started by heat embossing the image in gold on […]

• Alcohol ink floral cards

  

  So, I’m jumping on the alcohol ink trend… I’ve been eyeing up beautiful alcohol ink cards for months, too nervous to try it myself, but it was my birthday recently, so I asked for a few basics to get me started. I won’t go into the detail of how I created these backgrounds today, as […]

• Good times are ahead

  Happy Tuesday, everyone! How is your week going? I’m feeling a bit more optimistic at the moment, the sun is shining, the vaccine rollout is well underway, and we have a tentative promise of something resembling normality by the end of summer. Good times do (finally) seem to be on the way again! I’ve definitely […]
