About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Diagonal Flower Border

Here's a slightly different take on a edge style die - I used the Jeanine's Art: Humming Bees - Flower Edge die to cut into the card rather than cutting an edge.


I started by marking on my card, where I wanted the die to cut, and then placed the die there, before running it through the machine.

 

A piece of decorative paper is stuck behind - preferably double sided so it looks nice inside the card too - and a triangular mat and layer on the front. The decoupage, which is from the Buzzing Bees 3D Push Out, along with the bow, cover the other cuts that you don't want to see.

Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.
