Hi bloggers!  I love this card, so simple, but you know when you finish a card and just want to look at it?  That is how I felt about this one!  I stamped my Floral Lace Stamp (Stamps To Die For Range) and coloured it with a combi...

 Hi my crafty friends!  I think this is a bank holiday for you if you are in the UK, so hopefully that will mean a nice crafty day for you!  This card seems exceedingly simple upon first glance.  I have used the Filigree Delight d...

 Morning all!  Since I have posted pics of Mom's party today I thought I would post another card using a birthday sentiment today, seemed appropriate!  I started with a piece of Graphic 45 decorative backing paper for this one.  I...

Hi bloggers!  It's Sunday once again, they do come around faster and faster don't they!  I just barely got all the prizes posted from the previous week and here we are again!  As usual, I will run through the card step by step, then po...

Hi bloggers!  Blush, brown and white are the colours of the day.  I have gone for a shabby chic feel with this one.  I stamped the Lace background on brown card using a clear perfect medium and heat embossed it with white.  I cut...

 Hi bloggers!  Lovely lavender today!  I started by stamping our new lavender card with the Victorian tile background stamp from Justrite.  I used a clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed it with white powder.  I stamped...

 Good Sunday morning!  I have a channel card for you today but done in a "V" shape this time.  I have never done a channel card in this way before and I just thought I would do a bit of experimenting with it.  I started with a pie...

 Hi Bloggers!  I was busy yesterday adding some tutorials that I had done to the top section of my blog.  I had some help with it, but I finally learned how to do it.  There are a couple more that I need to add, but hopefully this...

Hi bloggers!  I have found that I am totally crazy about these Resplendent Rectangles.  I find myself picking them up to use quite a bit.  This was one of the first cards that I made with them just to see what they looked like when the...

Hi Blog friends!  A completely different style card for today's chosen piece.  Shabby chic, and really girlie too.  I picked out some background papers that have that sort of Laura Ashley feel to them (I hope that translates) to h...

Good Monday morning all!  A very traditional Christmas card for today's offering!  It is now really just around the corner, isn't it!  I can't believe how quickly it has come around, where has the year gone?  I picked out a r...

Happy Sunday!  You know what that means, time for the comment game winners to be announced!  First a quick card rundown.  I used the new A4 sized Grand embossibility called Garden Lattice for my background.  No fiddling around wit...

Morning all!  I thought I would mix it up a bit and I found this card that I never posted.  It was from the shows that I did in August I believe.  The background card I started with is from Canvas Corp.  It is a white printed kraf...

Hello my crafty friends!  I spent yesterday finishing up my samples and prep for Sunday's shows.  I was going to post one of the cards today, but I was having some issues uploading the piccies.  I will get it sorted out for tomorrow I...

Hi bloggers!  This is my favourite Christmas card of the past shows (well maybe one of my favourites, LOL)  I just love the mixture of white and kraft and vellum and gold.  It's just so eclectic, right up my street.  It's not trad...

Hello crafters!  One of my favourites from last weeks Christmas shows and this one was also Shaun's choice.  It looks a bit more complicated than it is actually.  Start with a piece of coconut white card and emboss the Holiday Tree on...

Hi guys!  I know this card isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I just loved the unusual colour combo, the Graphic 45 butterfly paper and the green gem seam binding.  Pare them up with micro beads and laced Venetian accent borders a...

Good morning all!  This is a classically simple layout for a card.  It hardly needs any explanation at all, but I can't tell you how many times I get emails saying that they hadn't thought about that or had forgotten about something or a&nb...

Hi guys!  A card made with the Grand Decorative Ovals today.  I was instantly smitten with these when I saw them.  Since the largest die in this set is 7" x 9" in size I thought it would be lovely to use it for a shaped card sampl...

 Morning all!  I can barely look at this card without remembering the hours and hours I spent looking for my Venetian Motif die that went missing after the first use!  You see, I had wanted to use it twice on this card, but it decided...
