A few days ago I shared my first idea for Christmas in July card idea, today I have chosen some contemporary colours which maybe could be used for the various holidays around the end of the year that are not Christmas. Check out the video and scroll down this post to see the little change I made after I switched off the camera !
Continue readingYep, just one layer – that is a challenge if you are someone who loves building textures and layers. As I only have one layer to work with it needs to really standout and have a WOW factor. I hope I have achieved that with the technique and colours I have chosen – check out the video to see what I came up with!!!
Continue readingI present 3 different cards today, I promised in the video I made another two cards using the other pieces of card I decorated as part of sharing the technique with embossing folders and a brayer. Each card has a different layout and greeting, all of which are from the Exciting Times Stamp Set.
Continue readingAs I share in my video creating Christmas-themed cards in July is not something I can recall doing before, however I thought I would do something this year, despite us being in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK. I am planning to do a short series of 3 cards, today I have chosen traditional colors and theme, I will then do a more contemporary one and will end up with a whimsical one toward the end of the month. I hope you enjoy this one as I am very fond of using the more traditional colours of red, green and white with a little hint of gold!!

Welcome to the Funky Folds Hop ~ a community for like minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds and to share our ideas. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way” so hang onto your hats and see what the talented artisans have to offer 🙂
We don’t have a specific theme ” anything goes” it is all about the fold!! Today I share a Pop Out card which has an anniversary theme but would work for any occasion, Oh and have given measurements for 2 different sizes 🙂
Continue readingooooooo it is a tough one this month, a colour challenge using Yellow, Pink and Orange!! I guess it kinda lends itself to something floral but I gonna try and not do that……….. wish me luck!!! As I explain in my video, this idea was from my husband !!! He said………. ‘how about’………….. and so I did!!!!!
Continue readingFor the last 5 – 6 years I have designed and enjoyed making my flip over desk calendar for the ladies who came to my classes. As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. Like last year, I recognize not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month and included a video to show how I went about making the card.
So today I share 2 versions, a July 4th for my American friends and a pretty bee for my friends in the rest of the world!
Continue readingIf you are like me and not so good at coloring – today’s technique is a great one for you! Once again I am using some simple supplies, Stamps, Ink & Paper to create the card – so you should be able to use the idea with supplies from your own stash. I have used pinks, lavenders and greens for mine and used a birthday greeting but this would make a great thank you card in any colors you have.
Continue readingIt is a while since I last shared a technique using embossing folders. I really enjoyed working with this one but was not quite sure what it is called. As you will see from the video you kind draw or ‘smooch’ the ink pad across the card………….. so that is what I called it!
Continue readingThis week’s challenge was to feature an ‘Animal/Creature – so in other words a ‘critter’ I chose this as a chance to share another very simple coloring technique – using a Blender Pen, that along with just some stamps, ink and paper (#SIP) it is a card that your could produce from any supplies you might have in your stash. Checkout the video below to see how this has basically turned into the perfect card for a fella!!!
