This month we have been given the challenge to use the following colours: Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and our choice of one of the new In Colours from the 2022-2023 Catalogue. I decided to use Sweet Sorbet and chose the Hues of Happiness Bundle, Natural Prints and Eden dies. I began with a Thick […]
This month for our Blog Hop, we had a sketch on which to base our card. This past weekend I was playing with the Waves of the Ocean suite. I had bought this several weeks ago but it arrived the day I was leaving to go overseas for a funeral, so the suite had to […]
This month we had a colour challenge using the colours Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee. These are the retiring colours for 2020 – 2022. I will miss these – especially Misty Moonlight – as it has been a softer colour of navy! I chose a stamp set that I hadn’t used for a while […]
This month we have a layout challenge. Last weekend I was at Stamp Retreat and came up with an idea for a card that thought a little ‘outside the box’. I chose the New Horizons DSP as my background paper where it has a natural divide in the middle where the foreground meets the horizon […]
This month we are very relaxed in our blog hop as it is summer here in Australia! Our theme is ‘Anything goes’! I decided to make my own DSP using the stamp sets Flowing Flowers and Ranunculus Romance. I actually didn’t notice these stamp sets in the new Mini catalogue the first few times I […]
For our December challenge we had a three colour challenge using the colours Gray Granite, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink. I actually love this combination and was keen to try out some ideas. Time passed quickly but I did get time to do this beautiful card. I have a friend from church who is […]
This month for our blog hop we were invited to use the following colour palate – Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz. I decided to do a kid’s birthday card and I guess it could be used for an adult as well. I used the blending brushes on Basic White cardstock to make a […]

I decided to take a break from making Christmas cards and use the ‘Friends are like Seashells’ stamp set and embossing folder from the Annual catalogue. I chose Crumb Cake as the first layer of this card and embossed it with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. […]
This month we had the challenge to use Black, White and one colour to create our project. When I saw the Simply Elegant suite in the new catalogue, I fell in love with it. I could see myself making beautiful boxes and cards with the DSP. I chose to use the DSP as the highlight […]
This month we had a sketch challenge for our Blog Hop using Curves. Although the Curvy dies are sadly not carrying over in the new catalogue, I used this for the curve. It is still available until June in the Mini Catalogue. I chose the new Expressions in Ink DSP for the highlight paper on […]
