We have a 14 year old grand-daughter – it is an age where I find it difficult to hit the right spot between a childhood theme and one for an adult!! Not surprisingly (for me) I chose to do something floral but bright and cheerful for a young woman. It also has a very quick and easy fun fold for which I made a video ….. just to show you how quick and easy it is!!
Continue readingWith the aid of a couple of punches, I am letting the decorative paper do all the work for my card today. The black and white of the Perfectly Penned decorative paper pack is just perfect to go with any color, so I chose to go with the vibrant Poppy Parade with a little Smoky Slate as a background.

The Wisteria Wishes Stamp Set has very pretty floral images as well as greetings stamps in a cursive font – my favorite kind of set 🙂 Today’s card is very easy to create and showcases the lovely Brushstrokes Specialty Paper.
Continue readingToday the temperature has really dropped here in North Texas, reminds me a little of the type of weather we would be having in the UK (my home country). The leaves on the Lace Bark Elm in my front garden are starting to turn color and drop so with both of those signs of Autumn it is time of an autumnal themed card!

As I explained in my first design I am pairing each one with a 2022 – 2024 In-Color – today features Sweet Sorbet.
Continue readingA few days ago I shared a scrapbook page layout where the theme was our favorite color combination challenge – Check it out here. I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I have taken some of the elements on the page to create this celebration card – very much my style using panels with a little bling from the Flower Trinkets.

I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool.
It is hard to believe this is my last post for 2021 – the year has simply flown by despite all the ‘issues’ we have all experienced!
