Let’s use the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies to make Christmas cards. I used the set of dies, Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Woodland Embossing Folder to make my card. Notice how I used the left over cut-out circle to make another card? It’s a clever technique for using left-overs when you’re die cutting or […]

Will you come to my Advent Calendar Class? I hope so because this class is so much fun. Why not make it a catch-up event with your friends so they too can share the experience? This is also a fundraising class that I’m doing for clean birthing kits and training of community health workers in […]
Join me and learn this Pergamano-inspired technique for your card making. Pergamano is an ancient, delicate and beautiful technique using parchment paper. It has a charming ‘granny-ish’ lace-like look that I love. We’ll keep that style element but give it a modern twist by using vellum instead of parchment paper. Also we’ll be combining stamping […]
The Gorgeous Grunge stamp set is one of my favourite background stamps. This card is for my son’s sports coach to thank him for another successful year of coaching. The Gorgeous Grunge was stamped for the background. And then, added the basketball and wings found in the Great Sport stamp set. The ball was stamped, […]
I’m using scraps to make cards today. Last year, I made this handmade invitation for my daughter’s baptism. I used the oval and butterfly die cuts leaving me with scraps that I didn’t want to throw away. Do you sometimes keep your scraps too? Every now and then, I like to fish out whatever is […]
Let’s use the Number of Years stamp set to make birthday cards. Personalised cards are my best-sellers at weekend markets, especially milestone birthday ones. Here’s how I made the card: Stamp the number with Versamark and then heat emboss in gold on a Basic White card front. Do the same with the dots. Stamp the […]
Let’s make a gorgeous wishing well card. The B.Y.O.P. stamp set and the Cheers To Love stamp set coordinate so well in this card. I also used the Envelope Punch Board to help me create the envelope. Here’s how: Create an envelope with the Envelope Punch Board. Use a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) […]
Let’s make a Botanicals For You card. This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration freebie. I love a big stamp that can stand on it’s own and the Botanicals For You does that. Look how it dominates the card front beautifully. This card is effortless, clean and simple. Here’s how: Stamp the Just For You on […]
Let’s do a 6×6 DSP technique today. I love finding ways to efficiently use my beautiful sheets of 6×6 Designer Series Paper (DSP). Do you also like DSP and do you have a favourite way of using them in your cards? Do you keep every inch of the leftovers or do you throw them away? […]
Let’s make thank you cards because everyday is a thank you moment. Everyday brings new hope and endless possibilities. There’s so much to look forward to and so much to be thankful for. I’m thankful for each morning that I wake up because I live for another day with my family. I’m thankful for each […]
Three-ways with 6×6 DSP is our card making technique today. I love working with 6×6 because it’s the perfect size for card making. Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed when you’re working with a bigger sheet of DSP? With a smaller size, you’ll be most inclined to use your paper. Here’s how I made my cards: […]
