So, yet another disclaimer - I made these cards and filmed the making of the cards back in September of 2017, but I didn't want to blog about them until I had the corresponding YouTube video created as well. Dear me, this video has taken FOREVER to edit!! When I put all the clips together… Continue reading Golden anniversary card using emboss resist technique
It was my birthday last week, to be honest it was a bit overshadowed by passing my viva - it still doesn't feel real and I'm wandering about in a bit of a daze! However, with birthdays come lots of lovely gifts and thank you cards (because everyone likes snail mail that isn't a bill,… Continue reading Birthday thank you cards with SSS flora stamp
Disclaimer: I made this card in November 2017, but this is the first chance I've had to blog about it. I made this card for a friend who was writing her Thesis at the same time as me - our friendship has been forged in the fire of PhD hell, so we've seen each other… Continue reading Hey Foxy birthday card
Disclaimer: I made this card back in November for my oldest step sister, but this is the first chance I've had to blog about it.

I used my embossing buddy… Continue reading Step sister’s black and gold birthday card

Firstly I want to wish all the Dads - first timers and old timers - Happy Father's Day! I've spent the day with my Step Dad, Mum, Sister and Nieces, so now I'm going to share the card I made for him for today. I loved the MFT Denim Background when I first saw it… Continue reading Father’s Day 2017
So I did decide what to do with the lovely SSS embossed watercoloured panel and made it into a 6x6 card with some X cut adhesive glitter sheets and the sentiment from My Favorite Things 'More Essential Sentiments' white heat embossed on a little strip of black card. To add some more texture I added… Continue reading SSS watercolour panel update
Hi Everyone! I hope you're having a lovely weekend? As I posted previously this week (I've been posting a lot this week!) my Tim Holtz stamp platform arrived on Tuesday, but I wasn't able to enjoy it as I wasn't well and it was followed by two very long working days where I tend to… Continue reading Playing with my stamp platform
