Christmas card making in July is always a great idea. Winter is upon us so the weather is perfect for it. It’s exactly what we did for our July Catch-Up. We used the stamp set called Christmas Season on the day and each attendee also took it home. One of the projects was the card […]

Cards shaped like paper houses is a fun-fold technique that’s easy and only require simple basic measurements and fold lines. Here’s how: First, you’ll need a piece of 4 x 11-1/2 inch Basic White Thick Cardstock. Fold it in half and use this score line to form the roof. Measure 1-1/2 inch out from the […]
Days To Remember, Peaceful Moments and Best Year are my top choices for greetings and sentiments. They were also the take-home products for Stamp Club. If you signed up for December Stamp Club, you would have chosen one or all of the stamp sets to be in your kit. As mentioned before, stamp club is […]
We used the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set on our November Stamp Club and everyone loved it. It was also the take-home product for Stamp Club. Stamp Club is a monthly creative catch-up where attendees receive a stamp set and also materials for projects that I prepared for us to assemble. Each month is different so […]
Card Folder Technique is something I came up with because I wanted to make a simpler version of a flower pot card. I love it when the receiver can take the card apart and reuse it in other ways. For instance, this can be repurposed as a cute folder. And here’s how it looks like […]
We’re using the Perfectly Plaid stamp set to make a pop-up card. Have you made one before? This pop-up card uses the stamp set and it’s coordinating Pine Tree Punch. You will also need a square piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) for this project. Here’s how: Stamp trees on the cover, add a greeting […]
Let’s make a Dino Days children’s card. Isn’t it cute? I love how playful this stamp set is. It also comes with coordinating dies to cut out the dinosaurs. Check out that egg die. When you cut it twice and attach a brad, you can make a hatchling pop-up card (refer to the photo above). […]
Neutral inks are gorgeous when used in cardmaking. They are perfect for neutral-gender cards. They are elegant and the colours are appealing to the eyes. Early Espresso and Night of Navy are great alternatives for black ink when stamping words and greetings. Stampin’ Up! Neutrals are made up of varying shades of grays and browns. […]
Magic slider cards are super fun. If you’ve seen tutorials on slider cards, chances are you’ve come across the ones that use plastic sheets. The problem with that is, it’s so slippery to stamp on plastic. More often than not, the images come out messy or smudgy. So, I rummaged through my card stock pile […]
A step panel card consists of a base and a step. It folds flat and fits a regular size envelope. It’s a fun way of making cards and a lovely way to show off beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP). Here’s how I made my card: Trim your A4 cardstock lengthwise in half. Score every 1-1/4 […]
The Festival of Trees Bundle is a fun Christmas tree builder stamp set that coordinates with a Tree Punch. Do you like the idea of creating your own tree so that it can be in any colour and style that you like? So do I and that’s why I love this set so much. What […]
This is a fun-fold box card idea for when you need a card and gift box in one. Join me for a workshop to learn the technique. Do you give gift vouchers or cash for Christmas? How about jewellery or hair accessories? Gift-giving is as much about the wrapping as the gift itself, especially around […]
Let’s use the Mixed Bunch and Simply Stars stamp sets to make pop-up cards. On our recent stamp club, the ladies and I had so much fun making this card. The card folds flat and when you open it, flowers pop-up in the middle. Do you also like cards with a surprise element? They are […]
Let’s make a Mother’s Day card. It truly is a miracle of life whenever I look at my sons. I cannot imagine my life now without them. Although my eldest is now almost 14 and my youngest 12, I can still remember the overwhelming emotions the first time I laid my eyes on them. Do […]
A Card-In-A-Box is like a jack-in-a-box, only something beautiful like a bouquet of flowers pop-up when opened instead of a clown. Do you like pop-up cards? Kids love them too that’s why I want to teach them how to make one. It’s a fun-fold technique that the kids will learn during the school holidays so […]
