Popcorn Kids




Hello everyone!
Not much time (as usual!) but I wanted to share a little project I completed using the Popcorn Kids stamps from Crafter's Companion. These are the latest in the popular Popcorn range and the images are a little smaller than those in the past, giving you new ways of using them. This box has been made by scoring as one layer of an exploding box (297x297mms in size and scored on the Tri-Fold A4 line on all 4 sides, crease & trim out the 4 corner squares). The flowers were made by scoring them on the Celebration embossing board.
Hope you are all well!

A Wild Rose Mother's Day



Hello everyone.
What a few months I've had! I have been working on numerous commissions from Crafter's Companion, in particular, designing the two new 'Celebration' embossing boards. The actual designs on the boards all came from my original drawings (made infinitely better by a professional artist!!). I wrote the instruction book to go with it, including designing & photographing all of the projects inside. It's been a labour of love and it has been very gratifying to see something go from ideas to a product on the shelf.
Anyway, we're well into March and Mothers Day is almost upon us. I made this card using some of the latest release stamps & patterned papers from the Wild Rose Studio. If you haven't yet seen the lovely items available in this range, I recommend that you take a look!

Wild Rose Studio sketch challenge



Hi all!
I'll keep this short as I've just written a lovely long post with links, instructions details etc & accidentally lost all of it.... AARRRRGGGGHHH!!
Anyway, please check out the lovely Wild Rose Studio blog for the latest sketch and see the gorgeous enterpretations from the other DT members!! The stamps used for this card are from the Love birds stamp set, which is perfect for valentines, anniversary and any other lovey dovey cards!! & When I've stopped having a paddy, I'll go through the details of how I made this flower from punches!

Finally put the tree up!



It's late as usual, but the tree is finally decorated. Unfortunately, there's no room to put it on the floor, so it's a bit crammed!

21 with a bit of 'BLING'




Hi everyone!
I hope you're all well.
I was asked to make an extra special 21st birthday card for a girl who likes fashion. I have to say, that I am very pleased with this card- although I wouldn't make too many the same, as I've burned through a large amount of stick on gems!!!
