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
If you follow me anywhere that I share my creations you may have noticed that I prefer clean and simple designs. Or perhaps it would be better to say I prefer clean designs, because they’re not always simple! Today I’m sharing three cards that fall into the clean and maybe-simple category. Lots of white space, … More Clean Card Designs

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.
After yesterday’s multitude of patterned paper Christmas cards I thought today I’d go with something more clean and simple. Actually, I was working on another batch of patterned paper cards, but knew I wouldn’t be able to get the batch finished and photographed in time to share today. So this is what I came up … More CAS Reindeer | Christmas Card
What’s this? Another post today. (You can see the previous one here.) That’s right! I know I’ve been trying to group cards together into one post if I have more than one to share today, but I thought this one deserved its own post. I missed participating in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers hop … More Washi Stripes | Christmas Card
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
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
