I love how the cherries already have the highlight as part of the design. So clever. Red and green don’t just have to be for Christmas as shown here. In combination with the white everything pops beautifully.

I was so happy with how this card turned out. The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (DSP) was quite busy but it actually works well with this panel on the front. The stamp set and paper are a freebie bundle available during Sale-a-bration this year. The stamp set matches the florals in the paper. I love how Stampin’ Up! matches colours and images. It makes cardmaking so easy.

Of course, hippos do ballet, or they do in my world at least. This little cutie is coloured using Polished Pink & Granite ink pads with a water painter. I did ballet all through my junior school and I hate it!! Strangely enough, I love ballet now and watch it quite often. It’s weird how things turn out.

This turned out so cute. We actually first made this in the online card club that I host in my Facebook Group. You find all the details here if you want to join in. It has a velcro closure though you could of course add a magnet closure instead. I would advise you to make a template as I’ve done below before you make the box as it really helps to make sure you don’t make a mistake.

I love the bright and summery feel of this card. So pretty. The stamp set is Bottled Happiness and it’s a two step stamping set. I love how it allows you to build up this floral arrangement.

As part of Focus Friday I’ve done a whole set of different shaker cards. You can find them all here on YouTube.

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

Hippest Hippos is a free set available during Sale-a-bration. When you purchase over £45.00 worth of product, you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. This was one of the sets I chose.

The little hippo is coloured using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. This is a fun little card with the hippo peaking out of the circle. It is one of my go-to designs for little critters.

This was a project we made in a recent card club. I host a monthly card line online in my Facebook Group. We gather together virtually once a month to have lots of crafty fun.

This card has a cute pocket on the front of the card to hold a tag or gift card. It’s therefore practical and decoration all in one. The cardbase and designer series paper (DSP) are both freebies I got from the current Sale-a-bration. You can get them free with every purchase over £45.00. Click here to see the current catalogues.

I love making cards that are little scenes. This card uses the Tree Lots Dies that I got as a freebie during Sale-a-bration. They match the Trees for Sale stamp set in the new mini catalogue. It is a Christmas set but I wanted to use the dies in a non Christmas way. I have a few customers who are involved with the Guides, Brownies and Scouts. This card was made with them in mind.
