I enjoyed creating the Twist & Pop Fold card a few weeks so much that I have created some more but this time I have filmed a tutorial!
It also gave me another excuse to use the Peony Garden DSP for one last time (I promise!)
If you haven't made one of these before I would encourage you to give it a try. It's such a fun fold and perfect for when you need that extra special WOW card.
I created the Petal Pink one for my grandmother (who lives in Holland), it was her birthday was a few days ago.
Here is the last card I am sharing following my fun experiments with the Gilded Leafing the other day. I managed to die cut two butterflies from a piece of cardstock covered in Gilded Leafing and here is the second one.
I cannot wait to discover more ways I can use this fab embellishment as I just love the effect it creates (I just wish it came in silver too)
I've been creating cards using my favourite retiring products and the Boho Indigo DSP is certainly one of those. The patterns and colours are just gorgeous! To give it a linen look I've dry embossed the paper in both directions using the Subtle Embossing Folder, which is unfortunately now out of stock.

Can you believe I only tried the One Sheet Wonder technique for the first time a few weeks ago?
If you watch my Instagram stories you may recall seeing some of these pictures.... I was attending my demo friends virtual event Let's Get Creative and this was one of the projects we made. Booking is now open for their June event so do check out their Facebook page by clicking here
My friend Jenny McCormac demonstrated how to make 4 cards with one A4 sheet of stamped images. Such a great technique if you love getting inky!
❤ This is a photo of my grandma and I ❤
This photo may have been taken over 20 years ago but I adore it and will treasure it forever. It triggers memories of weekend visits from our grandparents. Then I remember trips to their house in Ollerton, which bring even greater memories. It was always fun to sleep over at their house. I remember playing in the garden, Grandma's legendary buffets and Grandads jokes! Such good times!
I created these two sympathy cards to send to my aunties Janet and Carol and their families. I will be seeing them today as we are travelling to Nottingham for Grandmas funeral.
With the restrictions in place due to coronavirus, my Dad is in Trinidad and unable to get back to the UK for the funeral. This breaks my heart but thank goodness for modern technology as he is able to join via video link.
Today will be bittersweet as it will be the first time I've seen my brother in over a year and the first time in several years since I have seen my aunties, uncles, cousins and extended family.
It will be so difficult not being able to give my family a hug but I am thankful that we can be together, as the maximum limit to gather for the funeral is 30 people.
Black and white cards are often created by papercrafters to send condolences. The True Love DSP was the perfect choice for this sombre occasion.
I patiently fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and adhered them to a white background. A simple sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is all that was needed.
It's been a few months since I last took part in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights so I am excited to be taking part again!
What great timing too, with the theme as 'thank you' I thought it would be perfect to enter these colourful thank you cards that I created for anyone who placed an order with me in March.
Did you know that you can check out all of the thank you cards entered by papercrafters from all of the world by clicking on the banner above?
If you like my card, I would really appreciate you voting for me - you can find more information on how to vote further down this page.
We are back again with the Stampin' for Christmas blog hop, bringing you ideas for your Christmas papercraft projects, once a month for the rest of this year!
It's 267 days until Christmas however, if you are a planner or simply love creating Christmas cards like I do, there is absolutely nothing wrong with crafting for Christmas all year round.
You'll find inspiration here today from papercrafters and demonstrators with a common love for all things Stampin' Up!
If you have arrived from Laura's blog or you are a regular subscriber, I am so happy to welcome you to my blog!
If you have been following the Stampin' for Christmas hop this year, you may remember that I am a little short on current Stampin' Up! Christmas products in my stash. So I've been mixing it up, typically using a Christmas stamp set and a Christmas die set with current, non Christmassy DSP.
The True Love DSP is one of my favourites at the moment and I just had to team it up with Blushing Bride.
I love a black, pink and white colour combo ❤
The Snow Globe Scenes dies are one of my favourite Christmas die sets EVER. They are retiring on 3rd May 2021 so if you want them, you'd better be quick! I am so pleased I got to showcase them one last time.
I die cut the polar bears from this die set from Black Glitter Paper (note: this is not available to purchase right now, however, it will be returning in the next mini catalogue in July 2021).
I used my Blending Brushes to add some colour behind the polar bears. These brushes are a wonderful tool and an absolute must have for any papercrafter.
The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set, also retiring on 3rd May. It has been heat embossed in black (note: Black embossing powder will be making a return in the annual catalogue on 4th May 2021)
Spring is in the air!
I love this time of year, you can literally feel the season changing. The lighter evenings are wonderful too! We're starting to think about the garden, we want to have lots of blooms and colour for the summer season.
Our garden is quite contemporary. We have grey and purple painted panels. Here are some pictures from last year. It needs a lot of work so I am only sharing the best bits.
Yes, that is a catio! We have the most pampered cats ever. They are safe but get to experience the outdoors. They have the ultimate comfort in their enclosure and we can join them too! Now it is warmer they are spending more time outside again and it is lovely to see.
My love of pastel colours shows everywhere, in my garden, in my home and in my paper crafting. The only place it doesn't show is in my wardrobe.
I was so happy to see this challenge over at The Spot. The theme is just perfect - Spring has sprung!
I grabbed the Fancy Phrases stamp set, Lovely You stamp set and Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and set to work!

I really enjoying stamping and creating this card but I cannot take credit for this lovely card design.
I took inspiration from a card I received from my upline Michelle Last. You can see two versions of Michelle's card on her blog here and on Instagram here.
Michelle has used lovely bright colours for her card so I decided to create my version with a different colour combination, with my garden as inspiration.
