Universal Card For Someone You Love
Welcome to a New Year and to this month's Blog Hop. The Theme this month is LOVE. When I saw this month's theme I was initially stuck as to what I could do as I tend not to order stamp sets that are for Valentines Day cards so I hunted through the stamp sets I had and those that had a Love sentiment. I found the Plentiful Plants stamp set and matching dies so I decided to use these to design a universal card for someone you love. How I made my Universal Card for Someone You Love I started by...
Making a Card using a Card Sketch
Welcome to this month's Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This Month's Theme is a Sketch Challenge. I love using a sketch to design a card as it does not matter what stamp set, designer series papers or colours you use. They are also a great way to get inspiration. So here is how I went about making a card using a card sketch. This month I have been using the 2022-2024 In Colors in my projects. Basically as I have not really used them much before and sometimes it is challenging to use colours in a...
Scrapbook Layout with a Hidden Message
Welcome to this month's Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. The theme this month is to design a scrapbook layout with a hidden message. I love designing scrapbook layouts but sometimes we do not want to always see what we have journaled so an way to do this is to design a scrapbook layout using a hidden message. This can be done by using tabs to pull out the hidden journaling but this time I decided to use flaps that you lift up to see the journaling. How I made my scrapbook layout with a...

So this will certainly be an interesting challenge. I decided to expand on the Alternative...
Alternative Colours to Celebrate Christmas
Welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. The theme this month is Celebrate. For my project I decided to experiment with alternative colours to celebrate Christmas. Normally the colour combinations I use are Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler or Garden Green and Real Red so I wondered how Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party would look. How I made my card using alternative colours to celebrate Christmas I started by cutting a Basic White landscape card base and adding a Sweet Sorbet mat...
