The Bee Mine Valentine Stamp Set with coordinating punch is just too cute for words! I used it to create this bright and cheerful card with Valentine’s in mind but the more I looked at it the more I started to think it would make a super anniversary card as well – let me know your thoughts once you have watched the video!
Continue readingI hope you had a good Christmas, and now it is behind us we have the New Year to look forward to. Come January 4th we will have a lovely new mini catalog released with super duper products for Valentine, Easter, Mothers Day and Fathers Day, along with lots of other themes.
Today’s card gives you a preview of one of the new stamp set and punch bundles ~ you knew I would go for the punches first…… they are almost always my favorite. It will also be the start of Sale-a-bration and I will be sharing more about that a little nearer the time so watch this space 🙂
Continue readingSometimes I focus so much on the detail on my cards that my greeting can kinda get a little lost! Th Kindest Expressions Stamp set has 4 really great large greetings that can be used as a focal point. I paired it with the Petal Park Stamp set which is all images without any words – perfect combination in my book! I also used this card to show a very quick and easy technique using Vellum Card.

Today’s card is a celebration card featuring a little heat embossing and a fun fold

Continue readingI have a ‘go to’ layout I like to use occasionally, particularly when I have a little creative block ~ I find once I have my basic pieces cut the rest will flow from that.
Today’s card uses that layout and you will probably recognize it from previous posts. I have combined the Petal Park Stamp Set with the coordinating punch with the Celebrating You Stamp set for my greeting along with one of my favorite subtle color combinations to show the same layout for an anniversary card and one for Easter, there is also a video tutorial to follow along with 🙂
Continue readingI do love a fancy/fun fold card ~ so do the ladies who come to my in-person classes. I also like them to be as simple and easy as possible to make while still being impressive! Today’s card relies on the score/folds to achieve both of these 🙂
We also have some techniques going on, two step stamping, die cutting and creating our own decorative paper, there is a video to following along with to show how it all comes together!
