Hearts a Flutter – red or gold?

Hi again! It is busy busy busy here … less than a week until we leave for our cruise … so I hope you will forgive me for another quick post! Sorry … the photos are a bit dodgy. There must have been a smudge on my camera lens. I love how quickly this card…

Pretty Birthday Blooms

Hello again! Ha Ha! I am a little afraid to show you this card! I was actually a bit chuffed with the result until I looked again at the card that was the inspiration for this one! Then I had to laugh! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to watercolouring!!! 😀…

Friendship

Hello my friends … this card is for you! 😀 I absolutely adore this stamp set. I was almost positive that I had bought it … because I have made a few cards with it … but … now I am beginning to wonder if I am going a little crazy because I can’t find…

Blossoms Window

Hi bloggies! Well … I hope you all had a safe and happy Easter Break! We had a reasonably quiet one this year after a few hectic ones over the last few years. Sandy (that’s him in the air!) won his 1st round soccer match at the higher grade and managed to score 2 goals….

Watercolour Trending

Hi bloggies! Have you noticed lately around the card making community that there is a current trend for watercolouring … and not just the usual colour with markers or ink and blend with aqua painter / blender pen.

A Starry Christmas Card

Hi friends! At our last stamping play date, Leonie let me play with her new Christmas DSP “Winter Wonderland Specialty” from Stampin’ Up! (for Christmas 2015). I was so taken with it … that I decided to theme my cards for 2015 with the colour scheme from these papers. You can see the different versions…

Now … this is what I call Q&E!

Hi bloggies! I found this washi tape card that really caught my eye. It would definitely qualify as a CAS card … and I wondered if it would look as good IRL (in real life) as it did on the web??? So … I gave it a go …. So … I couldn’t help myself…

Watercolour Love

Hi again! I have recently discovered how GORGEOUS the SU! shimmer card is with some watercolouring! This was my first attempt … and yesterday I made a sweet card for Bree’s birthday using the shimmer/watercolour combination with dry embossing. It turned out a treat … but you will have to wait for that one! 🙂…

Serene Silhouettes

Hello everyone! Thankfully I haven’t had the need to make any sympathy cards lately … but I did find this one in my stash and thought I would share it with you. I don’t actually own this silhouette stamp set … but it is just lovely, isn’t it! SU! – Serene Silhouettes Verve – Philippians…
