A few weeks ago I shared a fancy fold card featuring the Sending Smiles Stamp Set with a combination of Mango Melody and Pear Pizzazz card and ink (see links below). I think I said at the time how much it appealed to me …. so much so I have used both again today but in a quick and easy card
Continue readingTime for a Christmas card – I know we are still aways away but the holiday season can creep up on us and then we have a bit of a rush. That doesn’t leave enough time to create some fancy cards to really impress our friends and family! Today I have a great double pop up fancy fold which is fun to make……… and there is a video too!!
Continue readingWell, I know we are in the early part of autumn and I love autumnal colors, but I don’t want to get tooooo lost in them, so today’s card is a combination I have a real love for at the moment ~ Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party. Both of these colors have very tropical sounding names so I have paired them with the Artfully Layered Stamp set as that leaf certainly reminds me of palm trees!

Continue readingSometimes we need to be able to make a card quickly but still want it to be a fantastic creation to send. Using different layers of card can give the pizzazz we are looking for to impress. Today’s card takes about 10 – 12 mins to make, with the layers and a little embossing to give plenty of impact. Just to show how quick and easy it is to make I have a video to share.
