A lovely couple have just moved into their first home together and one of them loves sunflowers, so, I made this sunflower using the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. I’ve already made a poinsettia using this punch but this is something very different. It’s layers of the the bulb shape punched from Daffodil Delight and shaded
I don’t have a Card & Cuppa project from last week to show you as there wasn’t a class. Instead, I’m sharing this Soft Sea Foam Birthday Card I made for one of my regular Card & Cuppa attendees. When Soft Sea Foam appeared as one of the new colours, this lady fell in love
I’ve been asked to make a card similar to this one, so I opted for Touches of Texture in monochrome. I really enjoy monochrome projects, so this was fun to make. The card is in Grapefruit Grove and Whisper White, but the attendees chose their colour from the 2018-2020 In Color Collection. After some clever
Today I’m sharing a Birthday Card I made for a friend. They were a fan of Elegant Eggplant (before it retired), so I’ve used Blackberry Bliss along with their other favourite, Crumb Cake. Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set and the matching Eclectic Layers Thinlits create this project. The pretty background lattice shows the Blackberry Bliss
Here is the 4th project from the 6 made at my Lovely As a Tree Class. This one is another ‘old’ project that has had a new colour makeover. The leaves from Lovely As a Tree are stamped randomly on the Pear Pizzazz Cardstock in Call Me Clover ink. Splats from the Swirly Bird Stamp

I’ve been sharing the projects from my recent In Color Introduction Class and here is the final colour, Blueberry Bushel. It’s combining with two other new colours, Highland Heather and Gray Granite to make this grungy card. Another new product, the fabulous Artisan Textures Stamp Set creates the background images. Then, the whole piece is
Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was inspired by roses. I have a beautiful rose bush in my front garden that blooms throughout the summer and this year is no exception. In fact the blooms are so pretty that I just had to take a picture. So, when I was thinking about a project for
Here’s another project from my recent In Color Introduction class and this project is introducing Grapefruit Grove. You’ll have seen me use the colour previously. This uses the new Rooted in Nature Bundle from the Nature’s Poem Suite in the Annual Catalogue. It’s one of those sets that grabbed my attention straight away and I
Today I’m sharing another project from my recent In Color Introduction Class. This time it’s shades of Lovely Lipstick. Blackberry Bliss and Pear Pizzazz work really well with the new Lovely Lipstick to make a fabulous colour combination . A Sponge Brayer and some strips of card for masking creates the shades of Lovely Lipstick
