The Stunning Expressions in Ink

Maximising the use of this amazing DSP with a cute pop up feature. When I first saw these papers I fell in love. The Stunning Expressions in Ink Designer Series paper is just that stunning!

Timeless Tropical Sunset-Stampin’ Global Video Hop

This Months Theme Our Must have Tool When the theme for this months Global Stampin' Video Hop was decided my first thought was the blending brushes!

A hint if you are using the smaller Embossing folders and ... VIEW POST

These are the two stamp sets that I have used to highlight the recent Colour INKspiration Challenge. Celebrate with Flowers and Watercolour Shapes.

The colours for this INKspiration Challenge were gorgeous and really worked well together. I wanted to create something soft and ... VIEW POST

Art In Bloom with Soft Pastels

Have you seen the Hybrid set in the Annual Catalogue! This is something new and a fabulous way to die cut and emboss at the same time! It is on page 116 and is called Art in Bloom. Anyone that has followed me knows that I like any medium to do with colouring. Also new in the Catalogue is the Soft Pastels. I have never used Pastels before and I have had so much fun trying all the different ways you can use them. My live this week was sharing both these amazing new products with you, Art In ... VIEW POST
