How cute is this punch art Easter lamb? It’s one of the projects from my Children’s Card Making Kits. I designed two Easter cards for the kit and this is the first. These Children’s Card Making Kits are part of my Social Isolation Classes offering, currently replacing my regular face-to-face Card & Cuppa for Children
Last week we held our first Card & (Your) Cuppa session. These are my new virtual classes where the attendees are posted a kit and we craft together from our homes over video link, instead of in person. It was a strange experience, but it was lovely to ‘see’ and chat to the attendees as
My final project for the Bugs, Beasts & Butterflies Class was this cute Bee Thankful project. He was stamped using the Stamparatus in Gray Granite Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. The layers are corner rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch. Using Stampin’ Blend Combo Packs in Calypso Coral, Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron, the ‘thanks’
This is the penultimate project from my Bugs, Beasts & Butterflies Class and it uses the lovely Little Elephant Stamp Set and matching punch. I couldn’t run a ‘beasts’ class without including an elephant! This project would be great for a new baby congratulations, or a Birthday with a change of sentiment. The colours are

The third project from my Bugs, Beasts & Butterflies class is this fabulous Balmy Blue butterflies card. It is a monochrome-type card as it only uses Balmy Blue and Very Vanilla. Firstly, a strip was masked across the card and an ombre of Balmy Blue ink was added using a Sponge Brayer. Next, an image
For last week’s Card & Cuppa session, I designed this tulip-tastic project. It was deliberately sentiment-free to allow it to be sent as a pick-me-up to someone who is self-isolating or social distancing . I’ve used Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove for some brighter Spring colours. I’m going to miss these In Colors when they
Today I’m sharing the card I sent to another friend who is going through a tough patch. This was sent before the pandemic and the need to sent positive thoughts now seems even more appropriate. I made and sent this at the same time as this project, so you’ll notice some similarities. I’ve once again
Here is the first beast from my recent Bugs, Beasts & Butterflies Class, this fun party lion. Isn’t he cute in his party hat? This bright combination of colours, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Popppy Parade, with Early Espresso and Whisper White make this project really cheerful. A perfect card for children. The
At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I based the project on this one, but used a trio of purples instead. I used Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, plus Purple Posy in place of Whisper White/Vanilla. For the background stamping, an image from the Gallery Grunge Stamp Set provided the detail. As with the other
