Suprisingly Simple Cards

Look – look – I can make simple cards!  OK so while not my normal thing it’s something that’s been in the back of my mind since last Christmas, I made what I thought of as a simple Christmas card one of my watchers made a comment along the lines of ‘yes – compared [...]

Copic Watercolour on Cryogen White

Oooh this is fun – give it a try – I promise in my next post no Cryogen white, I just keep picking this up and everything I do on it looks amazing – sigh – I think it might be addictive, seriously buy some for yourself and then try NOT to use it [...]

No Angel

OK this card was sooooooo much fun to make and don’t you totally love how gorgeous these cardstocks look – grungey and gothic (but still with a little bling)!  You might notice I’ve used the Eclipse Black 100 as the base for this, that’s because it’s the first and ONLY card I’ve ever been [...]

Beware…..They are coming

The images, all from Oxford Impressions, are stamped with Memento black, masking as needed and coloured with Copic markers. The orange cardstock makes a nice accent and the card base is Eclipse.

An Early Christmas

I got an early start on Christmas cards this year!! YAY!!

The card features several fabulous Paper Temptress cardstocks. The base of the card is made with 80# Eclipse Black. This Tri Shutter card requires some scoring and folding, and this cardstock made that part so easy!!

I used my all time favorite PT [...]

Pillow Gift Box

I love Paper Temptress cardstocks for fast, easy and WOW gift packaging!! This project took only minutes to create. Doesn’t look like it though, right???

I started out by die cuttingRetro Gold Glossy Lustre with a die at a local scrapbooking store. Easy-peasy!! Next, I took one of my favorite dragonfly stamps (strongstamps.com) and [...]
