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). […]
Let’s learn the Diaper Fold Technique. It’s not for the baby and it’s also not an actual diaper because well, you know, eww. Instead, we’ll use the concept and turn it into something extraordinary.

We all know that Christmas is not the same without the glitter and shine of tinsel, papers and Christmas decorations. With a little bit of Designer Series Paper (DSP), you can make […]
Bokeh is a photography term, Japanese for blur. The blur forces the eye to focus on the subject. In cardmaking, Bokeh produces a great background. I love how it can be achieved easily by playing with inks and sponge daubers. Here’s how: Using a sponge dauber, blend and layer about 2-3 colours on white card […]
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.

Truly Tailored cards uses the stamp set and it’s coordinating punch. I was so happy when Stampin’ Up! released Truly Tailored in the 2018 Occasions Catalogue.
