Cherry picked

The Fruit and Flowers set is a great set for creating your own background papers - and you don't need to confine them to cards. Why not use your "papers" for boxes too? To give a little more strength, I used the Confetti White card as my base for stamping this little...

A Mojo Monday wedding card

Today's card is based on another Mojo Monday sketch: Although I love the circles used in the sketch, I decided to swap them out for postage stamps. I'll probably try the sketch again sometime with the circles though  Recipe Stamp sets: Perfect Postage (W126111 or...

More his ‘n’ hers easter baskets

I'm back again with more Easter baskets! These his 'n' hers ones were for my Mum and Dad. Again they're made following the tutorial I shared here but resized again to take the bigger chick. Both baskets are 7.5" square, scored at 2.5" on all four sides. Here's the...
