It is Blitsy time and this week I have a card making tutorial on the blog. [I do use affiliate links and there are some in this blog post.] I've gone all pink, well with a smidge of kraft and cream too, but mostly pink, pink with some more pink for good measure! I've obviously been in a bit of a pink…
Flutter, flutter goes my beating heart. Did someone say Valentine's? Come on now, own up, I know that someone did! Or perhaps it was just whispered on the wind? Well if you are looking for some Valentine's Day ideas then you could always have a look through the Blitsy blog. There are a few heart-themed ideas on there, including one from me…
It has been such a long time since I last posted a card on my blog that you might be wondering if I still make them! Well I do but 99% of my cardmaking these days are for magazines so I can't show them here on my blog, but you will have seen them if you get Papercraft Essentials, Simply Cards and…
3...2...1...BOOOOMMMMM! Monday is Go! I don't know why but the intro music to Thunderbirds just popped into my head then. Did it pop into yours too? Ok, so you may not have noticed but it is Monday, I know, it was a surprise to me too! I have an explosive card to share with you today to help you get Monday off…
After the canvas on Monday and the Face for Show Your Face on Friday I was thinking I would shake things up again with a card. What do you think? I still have some Craft U Love demo cards that I haven't shared yet so let's do this! This is another card in my 'Get The Most From Your Journaling Cards' series…
All the way back in those heady days of July (like all of last month) I fell in LOVE! I remember it well, it was a gloriously sunny day (it might not have been, I mean it was July in the United Kingdom after all). I was wearing a blue skirt, sea-green shirt and red shoes (I was probably in dark trousers…
Last week I shared with you one of my cards from the demo I did at Crafts U Love and I promised you some more, so today I have another share for you. I was working around two themes for my demo, (1) making the most from your journaling cards and (2) using the new Tim Holtz distress ink colour for this…
At the weekend I got to spend a lovely day demoing at the treasure trove of papercrafts that is Crafts U Love. What a lovely shop hidden away in Surrey about 5 miles from Gatwick Airport. It was the shop's 9th birthday event and it was full of demoers sharing lots of inspiration and tips throughout the day, as well as holding…
Another Christmas Card for you today and this one uses probably my favourite non-traditional colour combination of greys, black and gold. The stamp is the cute Whiff Of Joy Quiet Santa and the glittery paper is from the DCWV All Dressed Up Paper Stack which you can get from Quixotic Paperie for half price at the moment. I've coloured Santa with my…
Here is a sunny card with the totally gorgeous Emma from the Elisabeth Bell range for Susan's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD), which if you are wondering how to get your hands on, well they are at Quixotic Paperie as well as the totally cute Victoria Case Stamps from SCACD. I've used the lovely DCWV Citrus stack papers which are on…
What do you think Santa is baking? Mince pies? Cookies? Christmas cake? Isn't he just the cutest? He is one of the fabulous new Elizabeth Bell Santa's from Whiff of Joy. Just Lurve! The papers are My Mind's Eye Laundry Line and I've been practising again with my Copic markers - might get there one day. LOL! Have a simply baking Tuesday…
