Blossom Party gift bag

Blossom Party gift bag

I'm slightly later than usual posting today. It's my MIL's birthday on Monday and so we've had a family day together today to celebrate. Of course that meant crafting for me and MIL. We've been busy getting our swaps ready for the team meeting tomorrow. I'll share my...

SAB sneak peek

SAB sneak peek

It's not too many more sleeps now until Sale-a-bration, so I thought I'd wet your appetite with a little sneak peek. This card uses some of the DSP that we'll have within the offer. Yes - you read that right - DSP! In addition to an absolutely gorgeous selection of...

A guest designer with a different take

A guest designer with a different take

I have a guest designer with me today - my lovely neighbour Alison. I've mentioned before, that she often comes round on a Friday morning for a craft and a natter. To say that she only started with cardmaking around October last year, she's pretty whizzy at it already...

I took the colour scheme for this card from the Domestic Goddess DSP. This particular sheet has a very small, subtle pattern. I also used the new die from the Mini Catalogue. It's extremely reasonably priced when you consider how many styles of flower you can create...

Valentine Love – stepped up version

Valentine Love – stepped up version

Valentine Love – base version

Valentine Love – base version

I have a lovely neighbour who comes around most Friday mornings for a coffee, a natter and some crafting (not necessarily in that order ). Although she was pretty new to crafting when we started our get togethers in November last year she's a quick learner and created...

Recessed postage stamp to say thanks

Recessed postage stamp to say thanks

The new Perfect Postage stamps are so sweet but as they're small stamps I wasn't sure they'd stand up to being the main focus on a standard size card. So how to make them seem bigger? Add a frame! Or in this case layered frames to make the embellishment larger. I also...
