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.

Creative Expressions - Paper Panda Winter Stag

Time for a bit of Christmas for the next few blogs, starting with another Paper Panda die from Creative Expressions today. It's an older one - but I absolutely love it. It's called Winter Stag, and I used it to create two very different projects.

The first is one that would make a really simple Christmas present. You don't even need to do the inky background, as you can replace that with patterned paper. The box frame is 16.5cm square. The background is a combination of Distress Oxide Sprays in Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans and Prize Ribbon; Pixie Burts - Making Waves; and Pixie Sparkles in Blue Wish and Beyond Blue.  A textured white card is also worth using to add interest.


The second project is a window hanger. I used acetate and Shell Pink Alcohol Ink, Villainous Pearl Alcohol Ink and Snow Cap Alcohol Ink Mixative.

And I now have a YouTube channel where I hope to add my video content to in the future. Would love it if you could subscribe. 

Happy crafting,
