I was at Stamp Camp last year and stamp and coloured this stamp from Blended Seasons. My friend, Cate, gave me some tips on colouring them in and I have been planning to make them into a card. I placed the blue flowers on Gingham Gala cardstock from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue and with the […]

January Project: Day 4: Beauty Abounds
I think I have fallen in love with this set ‘Beauty Abounds’ from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. I have co-ordinated it with the Butterfly Beauty Thinlit Dies and used Granny Apple Green as the base of the card. I stamped off the floral swirl from the stamp set and randomly placed it on the front. […]
January Project: Day 3: Balloon Celebrations
I have used this set before but thought I would use up some more scraps. I stamped different coloured scraps with clear ink and used white embossing powder on top. I then punched them out with the Balloon punch. I placed them randomly on the white cardstock on the strings and added some coloured stars […]

Christmas Sampler
I have been inspired by a Christmas Sampler that I saw online from Ronda and Fiona in the Facebook group Creating for Christ. It was their November project. I fell in love with it and decided to have a go at creating my first sampler using the instructions they had posted online. I didn’t have […]
Christmas is coming …
Last year I left making my Christmas cards until the last minute — partly due to the wonderful trip we had been on and only arriving back in Australia seven weeks before Christmas! This year I have been getting a start on them. A couple of weeks ago I got out one of my favourite […]
