Valentine's Day Card

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I have another stunning card to share to mark this special occasion.

I cased Steffi Helmschrott's card, but made a few changes, like using a cute little envelope instead of a box. This card was a bit of a challenge to add the red and white splatter dots, as I wanted it to look like the splatter was coming out of the envelope.....I got there in the end.



Sip Sip Hooray Wedding Card

Need a wedding card that's a little more special? If so, then I have the perfect card for you. It's a wedding shaker card, which uses the 'Sip Sip Hooray' and the 'Your Perfect Day' stamps sets. 

I wanted to keep the card really simple, but still making sure it had some elegance about it. The photo doesn't really do the card any justice, it looks so much better in real life and is very sparkly.




Snailed It Birthday Card

Sharing another card which uses the 'Snailed It' stamp set and the coordinating dies. I love how bright and fun this card is, and it will make a perfect birthday card to send in the mail.

Quick and Easy Birthday Card

I have a clean and simple card for you today, which literally only took about 10-15 minutes to make.

I cased Dena Rekow's card, and whilst my layout and colours are pretty much the same, I did change the die-cut word, stamped sentiment, and the type of flower.


Celebrate Sunflowers Birthday Card

I am pretty sure everyone loves a beautiful sunflower...don't they? Well I know I do, they are big and bright and make me happy.

I have used the 'Celebrate Sunflowers' stamp set and coordinating dies for this card. The sentiment is from the 'Chalk Talk' stamp set, and I used the 'Wood Textures' DSP and some clear epoxy drops and a little ribbon to finish the card off.

Hey Birthday Chick Card

How cute are these little birthday chicks from the 'Hey Birthday Chick' stamp set. I had so much fun creating this card. I added some of the new DSP to the bottom of the card base and layered a plain white piece of card stock with a real red border over the top. I used my blender pens to colour the chicks, and added a sentiment and some black bling to finish the card off.

I love that the balloon is tied to the chicks tail feathers.....I can see a potential card of having the chick and balloon floating in some clouds for my next card.



Snailed It Card

My favourite products in the new January-June mini catalogue is definitely the 'Snailed It' stamp set with the coordinating dies. I love how modern and fun this stamp set is and you can create so many wonderful cards with this set.

I was inspired by Manuela Geiswinkler's card, but made a few changes to make it my own.

I will be sharing several cards using this set over the coming months, so please check back soon to see my other creations.



Flowering Cactus Birthday Card

Today I wanted to share a card I made which uses both the 'Flowering Cactus' stamps and dies, and the 'Potted Succulents' dies. I really liked the cards Mikaela Titheridge made, but wanted to add a few extra pieces to the card to soften it a little, and to make it my own. I hope you like what I have done.

Bring on the Presents Christmas Card

Another simple yet stunning card you can make using the 'bring on the presents' stamp set and coordinating dies.

I silver embossed the big bow onto silver foil cardstock and die cut the image and added it to my card base. I added some green foliage, twigs and a bow center from copper glimmer cardstock, and finished it off with a black tag sentiment.


Detailed Deer Christmas Card

I am a little late with sharing some Christmas cards this year, but better late than never right!

I love the 'detailed deer thinlits dies' and still use them all the time. This card is so simple to make as it is mainly die cuts layered together. I embossed some white cardstock and used it with gold foil velum for the background. The deer was die cut from gold foil cardstock which makes the card look very elegant. I added some holly and berries and a sentiment to finish the card off.


Aussie Christmas Snow Globe Card

I love the 'snow globe shaker domes' and the coordinating dies, however in Australia it is extremely rare for us to have a white Christmas. I decided to use the 'so santa' stamp set with the domes and dies and feel this is a little more fitting for our Aussie climate during the Christmas season. After all it is summer here, and when we are on holidays we like to spend our time at the beach in the sun, sand and surf.

I filled my shaker dome with some tiny sea shells and stamped starfish. I used my blender pens to colour the image and chose the perfect sentiment.
