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. ❤️
