Good Morning Magnolia Using Blends is a project I created when I just felt like having a play with colours. At first I wasn't sure whether to water colour or to use the Stampin' Blends.

I went ... VIEW POST

Colourful Seasons, Autumn to Tropical.
Colourful Seasons Autumn to Tropical. This was my theme for this weeks Facebook live. I have used the Colourful Seasons Stamp Set and the Tropical Oasis papers.

Creating Textured Cards using Verdant Garden.
Creating Textured Cards using Verdant Garden is a favourite technique of mine. For this card I have shown some different ways to add texture to your card.

I think because the pattern of the stamp is so detailed and beautiful it does not need more. Colouring is always therapeutic and Blends make it so easy with the light and ... VIEW POST

Mothers Day Tea Time Together
Mothers Day Tea Time Together, reflects a perfect way to celebrate the day. Besides a perfect excuse to bring out all that beautiful China that normally sits in the cabinet. Because I have personally always loved High Teas, I wanted to create a card to reflect this. I couldn't decide whether to make a traditional card or something more vibrant, so I made both! Most importantly Tea Together is a Bundle including Stamp set and Dies which just adds to its versatility. Because I have ... VIEW POST
