This is what I've come up with -

I just wanted to play with the Brights DSP before it retires at the end of May, so I kept it fairly simple.  

Fancy seeing what Lynn's made of the sketch?  Just click below to go to the

Tall slim box

Hello bloggists, and thank you for visiting my blog.

On Saturday, I shared a card that I'd made for a friend's wedding. As part of the wedding present, I made a box to hold abottle of perfumed oil. The one we actually gave the present in was basic black with white ribbon, but as it's quite difficult to show you what's happening on black card, I also made this version in Bermuda Bay with silver ribbon.

Here is how I made it–

If you want the measurements, here they are.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I'll be back soon with another one–I'd love it if you would join me!

Floral Frame

Hello bloggists, welcome to my blog.

I've wanted to make a card with the Floral Frames Framelits for some time, and as the dies are retiring, it's now or never!  The inspiration for this card came when i was browsing in a gift shop.  There were some cards that featured gorgeous, rich colours, glitter, foiling, sequins - all sorts of yumminess.  Stampin' Up! card comes in some beautiful rich colours  - so it would be rude not to use them, wouldn't it?

Here's what I did - 

I hope you enjoyed it!

Back soon,

Time for Tea

Hi there, welcome to my little bit of the blogiverse.  Thank you so much for visiting.

It's been a while since I made  kinetic card - too long, in fact, so I reckoned it was high time I did!  I saw a card on YouTube (by Karen Burniston) that I liked and wanted to see if I could re-create it using Stampin' Up! products.  Here's my card, which is based on the Circle card thinlits die.

I love a nice cup of tea, myself.  There are those who thrive on coffee (including my husband) but for me it's tea - Earl Grey, hot!  So naturally, I wanted to feature a teapot in proud of place.  

Open the card and the cup inside moves over to join its partner -

It's probably easiest to show it in action on the video tutorial - 

I've been hoping for something like the "Cups & Kettle" dies for some time now, so you can bet that I was thrilled to bits when I saw the set in the Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Catalogue.  And you can count on seeing more projects using the dies - so you have been warned.

By the way, have you noticed the new blog/video schedule? I'm now blogging/YouTubing on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and it seems to be going OK so far. Hope I haven't jinxed myself by saying that...

Anyway, with any luck - I'll see you back here on Thursday.

Crafty Hugs,
