Jill’s clean and simple style is seen in all her projects.

The treat pouch is perfect for beginners.

I love the colours used on the Christmas trees.

The fancy fold card uses DSP and matching inks for a coordinated finish.

Heather has made three very different projects

I just love the wreath, I definitely want to try this.

Another wreath is used for her card, this time as a die cut.

The mini bell jar is adorable, a fantastic gift.

Visit Heather’s blog here for even more ideas!

Gez has also been busy with these projects!

These alphabet dies have used very creatively with some ink blending.

The set of tags are just so cute and easy to make.

Going Vintage with the Joyful Holly stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I love this stamp set so much, I’m very sad it will be retiring in January.
