Get Well Soon with Timeless Tulips

Hello Everyone,

I can’t quite believe how fast this year has gone… So here’s a throwback to springtime with these pretty tulips!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I also share a quick tip on how to make sure the stems are positioned correctly after making a tinsey mistake on my original sample.

I used Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue as my combo in this example.

Which colours would you use?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Christmas Wreath Card using the Sparkle of the Season

Hello Everyone,

I’ve had this card idea in my head for a while and I’ve finally managed to make it!

For this layout I used eight die cuts which I then used to create four pieces that I could arrange to form the wreath design.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…..

The Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic Ribbon is absolutely gorgeous in real life. It finishes off the card brilliantly.

This sample uses more die cut, 12 in total, and uses a mixture of leaves in Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is stamped with Poppy Parade.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I’m not usually one for fancy fold cards, but thought I’d try something different to show you all today!
