I’ve drifted a touch from Nostalgic November and haven’t used any retired products for Day 9 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. However, I could stretch it and say I did use Blueberry Bushel which is a returning colour so it’s a bit nostalgic! I cut a Kraft notecard into 2.5 cm strips and…
For the beautiful colours of Colour Palette #27 I went with the Earthen Textures bundle. I love being able to switch colours up with suites in the catalogue and give them a fresh look. This card is quite minimalistic in that it has a lot of white space. I added some Embossing Paste for texture…
For Day 4 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge we have a colour palette inspiration using Night of Navy, Pool Party and Lemon Lolly. I created a muted background by blending all 3 colours. Then I added the large rosette from the retired Bring on the Presents stamp set. Guess what? I hadn’t used…
Happy Friday! Bring on the weekend and perhaps some of you will be enjoying a long weekend. It’s Day 3 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge and we are Rockin’ Around.

If you have not heard of this technique – you heat emboss an image and then when you add colour over it, the heat embossed image ‘resists’ the colour and the stamped image shows through while the colour is in the background. Inspired…
Over the past few days I had the pleasure of presenting at the Great International Craft Show Series 17 – GICS17 for short. This is an online crafting event which encompasses all types of craft and the Live event is free to attend. I conducted a class a day which was loads of fun. There…
For Colour Palette #17 I didn’t just go with the colours I was also inspired by the photo. What else ccould I use but the Cheerful Daisies bundle? There is an entire suite in our catalogue devoted to daisies. I’ve created some pretty Bubble Bath daisies for my card. I’ve been on a bit of…
