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.

Pop Out Card

Morning. Today I have another share made with the fantastic new Crafter's Companion Die'sire Create a Card dies. This one is a pop out card made using the Spring Garden set.

I used a Kraft card as the base, and combined it with papers from the Sara Signature Shabby Chic 6x6 pad. To add a bit of texture and interest to the Kraft card, I used Distress Crayons (Vintage Photo, Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet) before washing with water and die cutting. 


The sentiment on the front of the card is cut using Die'sire Essentials Only Words Special Friend.
The pop out part is also Kraft card with the Shabby Chic papers, and the flower decorations are also from the Spring Garden set.

Keep your eyes out for the shows on Hochanda - coming soon.

Pop Out Card!

Our lovely Debbie is on now for the last chance with the Create a Card Dies. This is another of my cards - this time using the Floral Lace Heart and Thank You sentiment.


The waste of the sentiment die was used on the front..... 


And the actual die cut was in the middle, along with the Lace Heart die again as a pop-out.


I love the combination of the matt black card with the glitter card from the Gold Luxury Card pack.
