Not because I felt the packaging was rubbish or because I didn't like it - but because I felt I could make my own. However, Stampin' Up! then decided to release cute packaging like these jars that form… Continue reading Mini Chocolate Jars
Being a crafter means you explore different techniques as a way of finding the best finish for your project.

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
