The theme of today’s blog post wasn’t intentional. I didn’t exactly expect to mess up one of my cards, let alone both. But I did, and then I fixed them, so that seemed like a linking theme to discuss for them.
We’re in the birthday spirit at Cupcake Inspirations this fortnight, with our theme being Balloons. Although that doesn’t mean you have to make a birthday card – you could use balloons for a new baby, a wedding, whatever you prefer! As long as there are balloons as a feature on your project, you can join … More CIC 524 | Birthday Hedgehog | Balloons
I don’t think I’ve ever made an inchie card before. A quick search of my blog doesn’t bring up any results for the word. As much as I enjoy clean and simple designs, the amount of white space required for a card that only has a square inch of decoration is a bit intimidating! This … More Reindeer Twinchie | CAS Card
I have cards planned for pretty much every day this month. Do I have them made yet? No. Do I at least make them with plenty of time to spare on the day I want them to be going live? Also no. I just got finished with making and photographing this one, and it is … More Beach Day | CAS Card
I really enjoy colouring. But sometimes it’s nice to have other ways to use our stamps. For today’s card instead of colouring I did paper piecing! Actually, there was still a little colouring because I added some shading… But for the most part, the colour all comes from using various snippets of patterned paper.
I have an awful cold. Possibly a chest and/or sinus infection. Certainly feels like it. As a result I spent the majority of the day mindlessly scrolling and looking at cards on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Until I suddenly remembered that the MFT Sketch Challenge is ending soon and I wanted to play along with … More You’re The Best | CAS Card

A few days ago I decided I wanted to participate in Kendra’s Card Challenge. If you don’t know what that is, basically you use 6 patterned papers to make a whole bunch of cards following particular guidelines. Details can be found here. I had already decided I wanted to use Honey Bee Stamp’s “The Bees … More Bees! | Kendra’s Card Challenge
I’m sharing a square card today. And look – a white card base! I found a pack of white card that was hiding, so I do have white bases to play with after all. It’s a bit lighter weight than I prefer, and is EU size not US size, but it’ll do in a pinch. … More Vellum Sakura Blossom | CAS Card
It’s Teddy Bear Picnic Day! So of course I had to make an appropriate card. I used a bunch of products from Lawn Fawn for this one, and quite a few scraps and snippets. I wanted it to be quick as I’m in a hurry, and I need to write this in a hurry too, … More Teddy Bears’ Picnic | CAS Card
