Hey there, Polar Bear!

Hello everyone, and welcome!

Well, have you seen the new catalogue yet? (If not - there's a link at the bottom of the page to the pdf version, or you can request one from your demonstrator - I'll be happy to help if you don't have one)

If you have, you might have noticed the oh-so-stunning Year of Cheer suite on page 37. The DSP is really gorgeous! It's a good weight for box making so I'm planning on using it to package gifts - they'll look so elegant. I couldn't resist using a little bit of it on this card.

Aren't the A Little Wild stamps so cute? They're designed so that they can be used as gift tags but you don't have to use them just for that. I've used the back view of the bear (you could say it was a bear behind!) and coloured it to look like a polar bear.

I'm really pleased with the way the aurora borealis technique worked on glossy card too!

Here's the tutorial -

Thanks for visiting- see you again soon!

Crafty hugs,

Daisy, Daisy...

...the coppers are after you!

Well, that's what the naughty boys used to sing to the tune of Daisy Bell when I was a child!

I am very impressed with how realistic the flowers made with the Daisy punch can be. This time I made marguerites, rather than gerberas, and popped them into a bottle. Isn't that gingham ribbon so clean and fresh-looking? And see that tag? The stamp, and punch, are in the new, just launched catalogue!

Here's the tutorial - with me speaking this time. The feedback from the music-only one was that viewers preferred to hear me babbling away, so I shall continue to babble unless you tell me otherwise.

Have you got your copy of the new catalogue yet? You can see a pdf version by clicking the picture at the bottom of the page. (Want a "real" copy? Get in touch with your demonstrator - if you don't have one, I'll be happy to help!)

See you again soon,

Crafty Hugs,

Snowflake card

Hello and welcome!

I’m trying something a bit different today – a tutorial where I don’t talk!

Perhaps you remember the wax paper resist background card I made a few weeks ago? That technique makes two card fronts, and this card uses the second of the two that I made at the time.

Some die-cut snowflakes in vellum and glimmer paper, stamp and emboss a sentiment, add an embellishment (in the autumn/winter catalogue) and a few sequins, and the card’s done.
