24.01.2022 Happy Film Friday A little video for you. The first half I am talking about the Slimline cards with a few ideas and tips. The second half I am explaining how to make envelopes that the cards fit into. Hope you like it. Warts and all. Lol. You can even see my speaker wire drifting around at times. Shoutout to Leonie who shared the envelope hack with me.... I am excited to be going to a watercolour class tomorrow. Can’t wait to slosh some paint around. Hope you are doing something fun too. Have a great weekend Vx See more
24.01.2022 Happy Monday Week two of my Two Week Challenge to finish some Unfinished Projects. And there are soooooo many!! I found these two pretty watercolour backgrounds in my pile. Look how easy it was to just add a few pieces of stamped and die cut images. (Also lying unused in my stash!) These turned out very pretty I think.... Have a great day. Vx See more
24.01.2022 Happy Friday Two fun cards to end my first week of Finishing unfinished cards. These stamps are retired but I still have the cow stamp set and the fish one. They are too cute to part with. Cow’s it going? Hope your weekend goes swimmingly... Have a great weekend. Vxx See more
22.01.2022 Happy Monday I have made another Poinsettia. This time embossed in white and then inked with a sponge dauber. I love these pretty blues. Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray. Have a great day. Vx
21.01.2022 Happy Thursday Two simple cards today using very basic designs and simple colour ways. Lady stamped from Beautiful You stamp set and some Daisy Floral paper I wanted to use up. Simple cards can still look good IMO. Have a great day Vx
20.01.2022 Happy Wednesday Just to be confusing...I am posting this late Tuesday night But it is Wednesday’s post .. just a tad early So On with the post ... Who knew how addictive these Slimline cards could be... I couldn’t resist making another one. Using the reindeer from Warm and Toasty. I coloured him in soft blues and greens to match in with the beautiful Snowflake Splendour designer paper. All I have to do now is decide on the greeting for the front and I will be finished. Let’s see how long that will take me. Lol See more
19.01.2022 Happy Tuesday Busy designing at the craft table at the moment. Trying a Double Fan Fold card. As usual I look at a picture and then work out my own dimensions to suit. So there is always lots of rough drawings and number calculations on my scrap paper. This is a fairly easy design but sometimes they can be a real challenge. Good to keep the old brain working. And I do like puzzles. Let’s see what I come up with! And another quick ‘scrap’ card using left overs; while you are waiting. Have a great day. Vx
19.01.2022 Happy Friyay And the final cards for my two week challenge. I remember playing with the Waterfront stamp set and making these card fronts but not knowing what style of card to make with them I put them aside ... for later.... much much later...I have finally achieved a finished card with both of them ... and I am very happy...and pleased just to get them done! I can’t wait to get into some new stamping next week! I think the Christmas gnomes might need another outing. Have a great weekend. Vx
18.01.2022 Happy Tuesday In the midst of Christmas cards there are still birthdays to remember! This was a cute retro look card I made recently using alphabet and number dies to do most of the work. I love the words inside from - A Grand Kid stamp set. Rosie and I felt we were being watched today on our walklol. Have a great day Vx
18.01.2022 Happy Friday Well you know what happens when you suddenly need a gift tag... you have to match the card! Haha. MatchyMatchy. Rosie is out enjoying the sunshine and I am excited to see a flower on a gifted bromeliad. My garden is full of memories of friends and family and I like it that way. Have a great weekend . Vx
17.01.2022 Happy Wednesday And ...another number card! This time a diamond easel card. For a lovely friend who likes green. Now I have another number card to design..... This time a 100!!! Have a great day. V x See more
16.01.2022 Happy Tuesday Today I found these two stamped card fronts that just needed a greeting and layering onto card stock. I also found a calypso coral envelope unused so I used that for the colour inspiration. A deck chair die cut finished the theme of relaxing very nicely I thought. Have a great day. Vx
15.01.2022 Happy Monday And my little Gnome for the Holidays stamp set combined with Snowflake Splendour designer paper for a ‘blue theme’ today. Visited a Christmas shop on the weekend to get in the ‘Christmas mood’. Bought just a couple of things Have a great day Vx
14.01.2022 Happy Thursday A quick post today. Showing you the finished Slimline card from yesterday. Using the cute reindeer from Warm and Toasty stamp set. Pacific Blue is not a colour I use very much at Christmas. But it looks fabulous with the Snowflake Splendour.... Tomorrow I will show you what envelopes to use with your Slimline cards. Have a great day. Vx See more
13.01.2022 Happy Thursday Trying my hand at a little colouring. This was the third colour combo for my reindeer! Oh deer/dear ! He is found in the Warm and Toasty stamp set. I love little cartoon critters so this set is one I just had to get. Teamed with Plaid Tidings designer paper. You can’t go wrong with Plaid for Christmas. Lol. Have a great day Vx
12.01.2022 Happy Friday A lot of people have told me they find Trimming the Town designer paper not ‘Christmassy’ or they don’t like all the patterns. But I am going to change your mind! This paper has plenty of traditional patterns and colours as well as fun images on the other side that are super easy to cut out. Including two whole sheets of Christmas Greetings. So you could make cards without using a single stamp. I have some fun cards to show you next week with this designer pa...per.stay tuned! Today I washed all of Rosies beds and bedding. Interesting that her bed that she has in the craft room had a diamanté, a sequin or two, tiny scraps of patterned paper and a dimensionalmaybe she is secretly making cards while sitting quietly in her bed?! Hmmmm Have a great weekend. Vx
12.01.2022 Happy Thursday I found a few ‘Flowers for every season. Memories and more cards and envelopes ‘ Phew! I wonder who comes up with these names of products sometimes ?! Lol. Basically . 10 printed cards and matching envelopes in 5 colours. Page 154 main catalogue.... Anyways I have a few left and decided to make a fun card pack for my mother to use. This is the first one using Darling Donkey Saleabration stamp set. And the Art Gallery bundle from the mini catalogue for the flowers . She likes cute and funny cards. Do you think this one is a ‘winner’? Have a great day. Vx See more
11.01.2022 Happy Wednesday Just me making a few more 7cmx7cm gift cards with Warm and Toasty stamp set. These little mice are just too sweet Have a great day.Vx
11.01.2022 Happy Monday Another quick look at my poinsettia slimline card from Friday. Using poinsettia petals stamps and mainly stamping and colouring. Quite fun to make your own background paper. Plus a photo from my Saturday Watercolour class. So much to learn. Have a great day. Vx
10.01.2022 Happy Thursday I have a sneak peek today of a cute card, using Warm and Toasty stamp set. Love this friendly polar bear. Great too if you don’t like a lot of colouring. Using acetate in the middle means you can see inside the card which adds a great interest point. On the gardening front, my orchids are starting to lose their flowers but I spied another orchid in the greenhouse with some buds yay. Love how long orchids last. These ones have been blooming for two months a...t least! Have a great day Vx See more
10.01.2022 Happy Wednesday I had to make a card for Josh’s birthday. Remember the shirt gift card holders I made? Well I put one on the front of a card. Hey Presto!Another way to use that shirt! Inside I used a new stamp set called Family Party. (Main catalogue) This stamp set is what I consider a staple for your collection. It looks a bit boring and uninteresting but it really covers so many greeting options. It is a Really Useful Stamp Set. And one that will stay in your colle...ction long after it has left the catalogue. A great one to start with too. I love it. Have a great day! Vx See more
09.01.2022 Happy Tuesday As promised another fun card using Trimming the town designer paper. This card is called a Slimline card. It is 7.5cm x 20cm. I saw this Scenery design used by Leonie Schroder (talented Australian Demo) and just had to make one myself. Super easy. super fun. The card front is entirely made using the designer paper. No stamping needed! If you are short on time or inspiration then this is the designer paper set for you. Lol.... You check it out in my Shop. Trimming the Town designer paper $20 for 12 double sided sheets p.23 of the Holiday Catalogue. Have a great day. Vx See more
08.01.2022 Happy Thursday I showed you the outside of this swing Card a while ago but not the inside. So here it is. Using some retired stamps and some new .

My daughter in law loves black and white and a touch of yellow so I think I got this card right Have a great day. Vx
08.01.2022 Happy Monday I just love this card design. I found it on Pinterest I thought, but I have searched and cannot find the original post. edited: found it! Gaynor Boyce -Stamp with Joy.

I have another card to share tomorrow that is even easier than this one! Have a great day! Vx

02.01.2022 Happy Wednesday Finished my Double Fold Fan card. Wasn’t too hard at all. Hope you aren’t going to get sick of seeing poinsettias as I am loving these dies and can’t stop using them! Think I need to do a traditional red one next time. Used Snowflake Splendour designer paper on Balmy Blue card. Have a great day
01.01.2022 Happy Wednesday And only a few days left of my two week challenge. Finishing unfinished projects. Today’s cards did take a little bit more time. I had the two scenes created with the Waterfront stamp set already created and cut in circles. I felt they deserved a bit extra with my card choices. So I made one into a Z-fold card and one into a Window card. Which one do you like the best? Calypso Coral OR Flirty Flamingo?... Have a great day. Vx See more
