I was planning to share these cards yesterday, but by the time the third one was made it was already pretty late. I do have a studio light for my photos, but they look better with natural light, which had already gone, and sorting the blog post would take a while, and I wanted to … More Adding Colour To Cards
Okay, this blog theme is maybe a stretch. I had no idea how to link these three cards… The first two are arguably nature inspired – the first has flowers, the second a leaf. The third card is a bit of a stretch with its cartoon fox. But I really wasn’t sure what else I … More Nature Inspired Cards
It’s time for a new HLS CAS Challenge. Our theme for August is “Off the Edge”. As always you’re welcome to interpret the theme however suits you, though it should be clear that you’ve followed it. And of course remember that we’re a clean and simple challenge, so we like to see lots of empty, … More HLS CAS Challenge | Floral Hello | Off The Edge
I have four cards to share with you today. I was playing with a variety of different sketches, a different one for each card, and I decided that would be the theme of the blog post. There’s quite a variety between them – floral, cute, CAS… Making four cards today also gets me off to … More Sketch-Inspired Cards
Today’s post was going to be just two cards, but then I made the third which was supposed to be for sharing in a post tomorrow, and it fit the theme so I decided to bring it forward a day. Die cutting is a great technique with lots of potential applications. Here I’m sharing three … More Die Cut Cards
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.
There have been a lot of days lately that I’ve been sharing more than one card at a time. I’ve been lucky that I’ve been able to come up with ways to connect them, because I hadn’t planned ahead to consider how to connect them in the blog posts. Yesterday it was cards using embossing … More Stamped Cards
I’m seeing embossing folders around more and more lately. They seem to be having something of a resurgence. I don’t have very many embossing folders, but I do enjoy using them. I even made a video a couple of years ago talking about different ways to use them, which you can find here if you’re … More Embossing Folder Cards
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 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
