Today I thought I would play a little with ink blending and then lift the colour a little with some water. It is a technique that has been around a long time – but it is lovely to revisit things every so often 🙂 the jars in the Lots to Celebrate stamp set are grea… Continue reading Ink blending, water splats…with Lots to Celebrate
So another project using the Basket of Blooms stamp set – but this time I have made full use of the Small Bloom Punch to create the two different styles of large flower. and with a little fussy cutting of the basket and some leaves, this basket is ready to be used for lots of… Continue reading Basket of Blooms…with a punch
So today’s post is all about Basket of Blooms….but using it without the small bloom punch in case you haven’t yet bought it. There are lots of flowers and foliage in the stamp set and they work really well on their own. Now on this one there is a little fussy cutting of the vase… Continue reading Basket of Blooms and not a punch in sight
Where do the years go? I cannot believe my ‘little one’ is 18 already! I feel for him having to celbrate a milestone birthday during this COVID year – especially as most of the pubs in our village are still closed (they are small so limited opportunity to be able to accommodate social distancing!

This stamp set is really lovely…and because of the ‘Distinktive’ effect you get a beautiful shaded effect whatever colour you use.

So in June I was due to meet up with fellow demonstrators at an annual demonstrator weekend which is organised by the leader of the wider team I am part of. Of course this was cancelled, however our wonderful leader took on the challenge of providing this for us in a virtual way instead…and we… Continue reading Forever Fern ..Swapping
So can you tell that I love this Product Medley yet? This is a fun way to use up those scraps of card or bits of die cuts you might have and comes together really quickly. The colour palette of Night of Navy and Very Vanilla looks gorgeous anyway – and even though the patterns… Continue reading Boho Indigo: Patchwork front card
So I might just be a little obsessed with this medley at the moment… but it looks so lovely and cool and clean (and it is baking hot as I type!) the fold itself is just an extra score line – but it adds a lovely bit of interest to the card and makes a… Continue reading Boho Indigo Quick Fun Foldback Fold
I go through spells where I heat emboss….but usually it is for cards for friends and family….I hadn’t realised how little I have shared using this technique! but it is one of the most magical techniques…I especially love it at Christmas using gold and silver….but today is pretty different to that! This is almost a… Continue reading Jar of Flowers with Emboss resist and watercolour wash
