I fell behind a bit at the end of last week. I had no energy left after being done with work each day. The weekend has helped me recover somewhat, and I’ve been doing some catching up on the cards I had wanted to make and share over the days I missed. Not all of … More Catch Up Cards
We have a fun new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. Our theme for the next couple of weeks is Cats. You can make anything you like as long as it has one or more cats on it!
The first Cupcake Inspiration Challenge of the year has now been open for a week, and I’m back to share a second card I made using our colour theme.

The particular shades of those colours aren’t too important, as long as we … More CIC 486 | Birthday Monster | Brown, Green & White
I was planning something a bit more involved for this week’s project for The Little Paper Tree. It will have to wait for another time though as I just didn’t have enough time to work on it! I’m busily trying to get through projects before leaving to England (then Scotland, then England again) ready for … More The Little Paper Tree | Using Solid Accent Stamps | Video

If you follow my work you will know that I like to make clean and simple projects more often than not. That’s exactly what I did for today’s card that I made for The Little Paper Tree. I incorporated a stencil and ink blending, heat embossed sentiment, and even a touch of embellishment.
In my latest video for The Little Paper Tree I decided to play with adding simple details to a stamp, then used it to make a fun monochrome birthday card. I did have some technical issues with the video (my camera kept cutting off!) but it was a pretty simple card to make and I … More The Little Paper Tree | Adding Detail to Stamps | Video
I often see people asking which are better – Distress Oxides or Distress Inks. It’s not an easy thing to answer. For one thing, it’s very subjective. What you prefer to use is really up to you. It can also be very situational – sometimes the Oxides are the better choice, sometimes the Inks. And, … More TMR 92 | Wild And Free
I’m a bit late sharing this with you all! The weekend away last week threw me off more than I’d expected, so instead of having the video ready to go on Thursday I haven’t been able to share it with you until today. But it’s here at last! As always I had a lot of … More 10 Cards 1 Kit – Love From Lizi Card Kit June 2018 (With Video)
