More duckies!

Last week, I shared a ducky card using the Darling Duckies layering stencils from Simon Says Stamp. Today, I'm sharing another, but using the coordinating dies that come with the embossing folder.

Rainbow floral birthday card

 Today, I'm sharing a card using a layering stencil set from PinkFresh Studio, Seamless Floral Stencil (which is, sadly, discontinued). I paired it with a rainbow of Altenew inks and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

Stencils, three ways

Today, I'm sharing three cards - I used the Cara Medallion stencil set from Concord & 9th, along with the Birthday Script Dies, and the Birthday Basics stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and CZ design. 

Thanks for visiting :) 

 

 

Happy birthday, Melissa!

 I made this card over a month ago for a cardmaking friend, Melissa! Seeing as she has it now, I can share it here! 

I used the Delicate Outline Flowers background stamp from Simon Says Stamp (sadly, discontinued) and dies also from Simon along with Altenew watercolours.

Case me a Christmas Card - Hop 6

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card 2025 - a Christmas Card series! 

Throughout October, there will be a series of 10 hops – two YouTube hops, and eight Instagram hops. Each hop involves participants CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) a card from the next person, drawing inspiration while each creating a Christmas Card. And you can join in!

Background

This series began in November 2016 as a personal challenge to explore different Christmas card styles, with friends suggesting creative ideas. Over time, more cardmakers joined, leading to a format where participants CASE each other's cards. A helpful video by Ardyth Percy Robb outlines a 5-step CASE process—check it out HERE.

This year

This year is a bit different, because I'd love for you to join in! You can join in by making your own CASE, or by commenting on the stops on the hop (either on IG or on YT).

Happy Stamptember - Hero Arts!

Today, I'm joining in with all of the fun of Stamptember for Simon Says Stamp! They very kindly sent me this Hero Arts collaboration stamp set, and of course, I went rainbow. I also returned to my first cardmaking love - Clean and Simple!

Sympathy cards

 I recently needed some sympathy cards, so I dived into my UFO pile to find some backgrounds, and die cut some leaves to create these three cards. 

Thanks for visiting :) 

 

Magnolia pattern

I've been waiting to get my hands on this gorgeous Magnolia Pattern stamp and stencil set from PinkFresh Studio. It's late winter here, and the magnolias are in bloom, and they always remind me of my Gran - she had two beautiful magnolia trees in her front yard. I paired it up with a word die from Simon Says Stamp.

Today, I'm taking part in the CASE it hop on Instagram with this card:

 I CASEd these cards by Kelly Made It on Instagram. I recreated the white outlines on her cards with white embossing instead of a die, and I used zig markers and water instead of paper piecing.
