Bold Botanical Builder

Bold Botanical Builder

On Sunday, I shared with you my Mother's Day card to my Mum. Today, I'm back with my Hubby's card to his. He copied a lot of my design but switched the colour scheme for a bold Crushed Curry and Basic Black combo. I think it looks really good. The card base is an A6...

Botanical Builders for Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums out there! I hope you have a pamper filled day. I went with soft pastels and a bit of bling for my Mother's Day card to my own Mum. The card base is an A6 top fold portrait of Crumb Cake that is die cut along each edge with the leaf...

Kissed Botanicals birthday card

Kissed Botanicals birthday card

Today's card uses the kissing technique, i.e. inking a small or patterned stamp with a contrasting colour and touching it to a ready inked larger/solid stamp before stamping out. We used the puddle of small flowers from the Botanical Blooms set to kiss with, as it...

Botanicals For You gilded

Botanicals For You gilded

Anybody else got gilding flakes gathering dust in the back of their craft cupboard? I can't even remember the project I originally intended these silver flakes for but they're a few years old, lol. Luckily they don't go off 🙂 - they were great for using with this...

Washi-tape Wednesday – stripes

Washi-tape Wednesday – stripes

It’s Wednesday, so it’s washi-tape again 🙂 Continuing our new feature – we’re sharing a new washi-tape project every Wednesday and this week we’re using it to create stripes - but to add a little more interest to the card, we're bending those stripes into a "v"....

Rose Garden thanks

Rose Garden thanks

On Saturday I shared another card made with the Rose Garden thinlits and mentioned that I was happier with the leftovers 🙂 So here's the card I made with those leftovers. The card base is a small square of Bermuda Bay matted with Basic Black card. Taking the negative...
