A pinwheel anytime card

A pinwheel anytime card

This anytime occasion card uses negative space to frame the cute little pinwheel. The card base is an A6 portrait of Calypso Coral card. A strip of International Bazaar DSP (126920) was punched with the 2-1/2" Circle (120906) and the outer pieces adhered to a mat of...

Aviary birdcage birthday card

Aviary birdcage birthday card

This birthday card uses a selection of Scallop Trim mats (measurements here) to frame the caged birds. As there isn't too much space behind the frames for extra layers, the background was textured for added interest. The card base is an A6 portrait of Regal Rose (a...

Beginners cards – masculine and feminine

Beginners cards – masculine and feminine

Today I had the good fortune to be helping out at a Learning at Work day - where employees get to have "taster" sessions of different skills and pastimes. (If you were there today and are stopping by my blog for the first time then "Hi", it was lovely to meet you )....

You are … Father’s Day card

You are … Father’s Day card

The arrow from the Cute Clips is a great way to highlight just one item from a selection. Which got me thinking of another way to use my sentiment sets to make a masculine card. Here I've used it for a Father's Day card but you could easily adapt it for a birthday,...

Sunny summer afternoon

Sunny summer afternoon

Our Watercolour Crayons and Pencils may be all sold out but personally I prefer to do my colouring with inks and a Blender Pen (102845) anyway  There's something really therapeutic about sitting and "colouring in". I might also have been a little affected by the image...

Best Friends Forever

Best Friends Forever

I've used the Cross My Heart set previously for mainly masculine cards, but today's take on it is a little more on the girlie side. The card base is a small square of Calypso Coral. Tea for Two DSP (129311) was matted onto Island Indigo card and then popped up on...

A personalised Christening card

A personalised Christening card

Yesterday was my nephew's Christening day. My Mum commissioned me to make a card for her for the occasion and so it had to be pretty special - no pressure  The card base is an A5 landscape of Baja Breeze. I didn't want a base opening (it's likely to slide apart and...
