It was decorated using a combination of stamps (Happy Watercolour and Perfect Pennants) the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Banner Blast Stamps and matching Punch. All these...

Today, I have a couple of cards that I haven't shared with you yet from a few weeks ago. I was asked by the ladies from the Friday class if we could make a valentine's card and a get well card. I created the following card which was easily adapted for either occasion. The base of the card was the same. Real red with a layer of whisper white. A couple of strips of gold washi tape and one of the adorning accents embossing folder in between and some gold bakers twine. The background was stamped...

This is one of the cards we made at a recent class, which I haven’t shared yet and doesn’t need a lot of explanation.

It reminds me of the pop-up books I had as a child….   There are lots of variations of these on the internet, but here are the 2 I made in class, that  are just perfect when you need a special card, that is unique and different and...

Over the last few weeks I have been very busy...

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend. My husband spoilt me as usual on Valentines day, with a lovely meal at the Wheatsheaf, flowers and then out dancing to vocalist Richard Thomas (Rich T.) last night. We wish him well in Britain's Got Talent. It is now Sunday night and the weekend has just flown by, but I didn't want to miss sharing the valentine card I made for my husband  I used the language of love and gorgeous grunge sets which were all stamped in the metallic gold encore ink and...
