Welcome to my new Sunday series, affectionately known as Simple Sunday! The aim of this series is to showcase projects using minimal supplies, ideal for the beginner crafter or someone new to Stampin’ Up! Each project is a white card base with a 3×3 panel decorated using a single stamp set or die set. This week’s… Continue reading Simple Sunday #13 – Dragonfly Garden
How amazing is the new Hydrangea Hill Mercury Acetate? I couldn't wait to get my hands on a pack of it - not only because it contains purple either! The pack contains two different colours, Highland Heather & Rococo Rose, both equally beautiful. My box is made from Highland Heather and during my Facebook Live,… Continue reading Prism Congrats
Layered cards are my new "go to" when I hit a crafty block, you don't need much inspiration around you to make one. You just need some nice paper and a sentiment to bring a beautiful card front together. Or as I chose for this card, an excuse to use some paper that I hadn't… Continue reading Fabulous Patterns
Now I've made no secret of the fact that this paper has to be my absolute favourite from all of the Sale-a-Bration events that I have been a demonstrator for - I just love it! The colours, the paper patterns, everything. Especially as one of the four colours is Blackberry Bliss! My project was going… Continue reading Ombre Day

One of my favourite combos is Black and Gold and I absolutely love when I can bring all the co-ordinating items onto a single project like this one - ribbon, embellishments, embossing powder - all matching to really bring the box to light. The acetate acts as a slider on the box for added wow,… Continue reading Golden Perfection
When I get stuck in a phase of using the same colours, I take a good look at my ink shelves and take five colours that I haven't used recently and use at least one of them on the next project. I did go through a stage of using Bermuda Bay all the time, it… Continue reading Bermuda Birthday
I first made this box on the day my pre-order from Stampin' Up! arrived. The grey background on the paper with the bright colours instantly drew me in. I didn't know what I was going to make, but knew it had to be with that particular pattern. The grey background contrasts beautifully with Coastal Cabana,… Continue reading Floral Thanks
I say this every time I showcased a masculine card - but they are difficult to design when you need one on the spot. I like to have a couple of card choices already made for when an occasion comes round celebrating a male in my life. Well Suited is the Designer Series Paper (DSP)… Continue reading Best Suited Dad
