When I saw this Christmas Gift Bag project by Ludovine Bertois, I just had to make it. It is such a roomy gift bag and really easy to make. I had one sheet of Painted Christmas DSP left over from my November Cards and a Cuppa – so I decided to use it for this project and I’m really pleased how the whole project came together. Of course, the bag… Read More »

I have to admit, I was stumped for a project to share on my Facebook Live this week. I knew everyone was probably done with Christmas and was searching for inspiration with bright, fresh and fun products. So was I, but I had to admit my head was still a little stuck in Christmas. Luckily, I had a virtual crafting session with my team the night before, and my teamie,… Read More »
I made a gorgeous (if I say so myself) box yesterday to house a set of cards all using the Feels Like Frost DSP. It appeared on the Retiring List at 50% off – not sure if it’s still there. If it is, GET IT!! It’s so beautiful, but if not you can easily swap out the DSP and the cardstock colours to suit whatever you have to hand. You… Read More »

This month the Stampin’ Creative team have decided to case projects from the founder of Stampin’ Up herself, the lovely Shelli Gardner. I would class Shelli’s style as soft, feminine and whimsical with plenty of layers which I feel is in contrast to my own style. Having said that, I’m not sure what my style exactly is …?? A couple of her most recent blog projects caught my eye and… Read More »

I just received my Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday. I must admit that I was not expecting to love it as much as I did. For me, this kit is worth it for the stamp set alone and at £20, it’s an absolute bonus to have all the card bases, envelopes, ink spot, adhesive and embellishments included!! Today, I wanted to show you a Hugs from Shelli alternative… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Lets Get Hopping Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite colouring techniques. I love using sponges – whether it be sponge brayers or sponge daubers and on this project I have used both. The Large Letter Dies are retiring very soon so I couldn’t resist giving them one last outing on this project. I had two sources of inspiration for this project. Firstly, I had… Read More »
This week at The Global Design Project we are casing the fabulous Steffi Helmschrott – I just love her style. She has an amazing rainbow card to case which made me want to make some Pop of Petals Butterflies. Here is Steffi’s card… and here was what her creation inspired me to make. I used several rainbow colours and embossed the Butterfly from Pop of Petals in white. It’s… Read More »

I love to go to town a bit on the packaging – not least because I know, as crafters, they will really appreciate it. Equally, I know they will also love working out what I’ve used. We have the fabulous linen… Read More »
I admired a recent post by my lovely friend Ruth Trice (link to follow). I thought it would be perfect project for an upcoming Mum and Me kids class. By chance, my friend called me a few weeks later and asked me would I do a crafting activity at her daughter’s 10th birthday party. Well, I had the absolute PERFECT project! Her daughter had final approval, but how could you… Read More »
My daughter turned 6 a couple of weeks ago and had a Princess themed birthday party. As I’d just used the venue’s invitations, I decided to make some pretty special thank you cards for her guests. I created a Princess shadow box card that opens up to reveal a red rose and her Thank you wishes. It was quite a simple card to create and I have to thank Danielle… Read More »
