Thanks – Beauty Abounds Stamp Set

Card Making

12 Feb

I’m currently curled up on the sofa with what I expect to be a ear infection. I don’t normally get unwell but when I do I am a very stereotypical man who wants all the attention to be on them. Honestly I think I mentioned it to everyone in the office today, at least three times throughout the day. Of…

New video alert! I’m joining the Alex Syberia Desi New video alert!
I’m joining the Alex Syberia Designs December Release YouTube Hop today, and I’m sharing this fresh and modern floral card made with the Lovely Day Bundle and the Abstract Background Bundle. The mix of soft layered florals and bold texture is a dream to work with — and I walk you through the whole process in my video.

Let me know what you think of this clean and modern look — I loved bringing these bundles together for something bright, bold, and full of movement.

The @alexsyberiadesigns December Release is here, The @alexsyberiadesigns December Release is here, and I had to feature the Minimalist Flower Press Plate — it’s genuinely one of my favourites from the whole collection. 🌸✨

The detail it creates is unreal… crisp, modern, and so easy to bring to life with colour. I could have happily coloured these blooms all day! If you love a press plate that does most of the work for you but still feels totally customisable, this one is a dream.

Make sure you check out the full release over at Alex Syberia Designs — it’s packed with beautiful new products, and this plate is an absolute standout.

Hello crafty friends! Day 30 is here — our final Hello crafty friends!

Day 30 is here — our final prompt of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge!
Today’s theme is Merry Little Moment, and for my card I wanted to freeze a tiny winter story in time.

I used the Warm Thoughts Stamp Set from @simonsaysstamp to paint this sweet scene — a snowman stopping by the postbox to send a little warmth on a cold winter’s day. Soft watercolour, gentle details, and a feeling of quiet kindness… the perfect way to wrap up this year’s challenge.

This has honestly been one of my favourite years yet. Thank you for crafting along, sharing your creations, and filling the community with so much joy. ❤️

Don’t forget to share your final card using #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge — I’d love to see your favourite moment from the month.

Here’s to many more merry little moments. ✨🎄
