All The Best

Card Making

22 Oct

Ahhh! It’s Tuesday, which sadly means I’m turning 25 in exactly 7 days. I’m going to be in my mid twenties. I’m still rather unsure of what I’ll be doing to celebrate but I know I’ll be eating my body weight in food! Today’s card is super simple and straightforward with the idea behind it is making the Frosted Florals…

Boo!

Card Making

21 Oct

Did I make you jump? If I did I apologise. Yesterday I held my monthy Coffee and A Card class and it was requested we do Halloween & Christmas gift boxes of some sort. Now this automatically filled me with dread, I’m not a 3D papercrafter if I’m 100% honest but I never shy away from a challenge. I thought…

October Card Swaps

Card Making

14 Oct

It’s Sunday already! I must say I don’t think I’ve ever felt so nervous about posting about a card in forever. After Thursdays post I have received so much support and encouragement from so many of you. The video I created as a little how too has reached over 32,000 people, so this post has a lot to live up…

Christmas Wreath

Card Making

11 Oct

And so we are back to Christmas, how joyous! As you can’t read the sarcasm in my words I’ll make it apparent by pointing it out. Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas and making all the little bits and bobs but I have Sean screaming “The holidays are coming” in such and annoying voice! Today I’m going a little…

✨ Peace and Love at Christmas ✨ There’s som ✨ Peace and Love at Christmas ✨

There’s something so special about a design that feels classic and elegant — and this card does just that! The new Christmas Candles Embossing Folder from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar & Spice Release creates the most beautiful, dimensional texture.

I paired it with the Vintage Christmas Strips Reverse sentiment for a timeless holiday look. Deep green cardstock, a touch of gold thread, and a few paint splatters give it that perfect festive finish. 🌲💫

Would you go bold and colourful with this embossing folder, or keep it classic like this?

I could not wait to create with the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias from @altenewllc – honestly one of my all-time favourite kits. The second I heard it was back, I grabbed mine and made this bold navy and white card. 💙

Here’s what I love most:
🌸 White ink blending through the stencil for that soft, glowing background.
🌸 Crisp white magnolias layered with kraft details.
🌸 Branches stamped in brown ink and fussy cut for extra dimension.
🌸 A warm kraft panel & sentiment to bring it all together.

This kit has EVERYTHING you need – stamps, dies, stencils and an embossing folder. If you missed it last time, don’t wait around… it won’t stay in stock for long!
