This straightforward card design makes great use of your patterned paper. I have cut the paper at an angle and can use the second piece to make another card. The paper is aptly named, Merry, Bold & Bright. I love this bright dot design, don’t you?

The strings of lights are die-cut with matching cardstock. The dies are the Merry & Bright and they coordinate with both the paper and the stamp set.

I have this great-sized gift box to share with you today. This box will hold a set of A6 cards and envelopes. What a great Christmas gift.

This is a simple box to make. It measures 6 3/4″ X 5″ and is 2″ deep. I’ve made the box into different colour combinations. Which one do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

The sentiment for here is stamped in Real Red / Blueberry Bushel Ink. This is dried and the sentiment is restamped using Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. This is a great trick if you don’t have a ton of different coloured embossing powders.

This card is colourful but I’ve only used a limited colour palette of primary colours. My first version uses Real Red, Crushed Curry and Azure Afternoon. I used the colours in the cardstock and the balloons. Repeating the colours gives the card a cohesive feel.

The second card is the same design but is of the pastel variety. The colours are Petal Pink, Balmy Blue and Lemon Lolly. Which version do you think is best? Let me know in the comments below.

I was inspired to make this card after watching a video on YouTube by Nichol Spohr. She used different products but I adapted it to what I had. I love the way it turned out.

It really isn’t difficult to achieve a seamless blended background. There are a number of tips I can give you. One is not to overload your blending brush, secondly, I tap off my brush on my grid paper before I start to blend and thirdly take your time going back and forwards between colours until you achieve something you are happy with.

How to use Masking in Cardmaking

Masking is a great technique to use when building a scene. It allows you to make some images appear in the foreground and push others into the background. I’ve used masking when stamping these toadstools. I stamped the toadstool on some masking paper and fussy cut the image out. The masked image is stored in the front of my stamp case and can be used time and time again.

I love making rainbow-style cards. They are a great way to use your scraps and who doesn’t like to use their scraps up? I love when I’ve made the most of my stash.

This is a very simple design but the sentiment makes the card. I love big bold sentiments. They make easy cards. I’ve cut 1cm strips of cardstock to make this rainbow. My rainbow colours are:

  • Real Red
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Daffodil Delight
  • Granny Apple Green
  • Azzure Afternoon
  • Gorgeous Grape

measurements

  • Night of Navy Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm 10cm
  • Strips of cardstock in the rainbow colours above. These are 1cm wide and at least 15cm long.

I find these heart-shaped candles while out shopping recently and couldn’t resist them. I created this little gift box that holds four of them. It has a see-through lid so that the recipient can see the gorgeous candles inside.

This is a simple pizza-style gift box which was made specifically to hold these candles but you could put anything in it. It would be a lovely box to put jewellery in or some special sweets.

I like big tags such as this one as they can double as a Christmas card as well. Two for the price of one, can’t be bad. This tag is actually the size of an A6 card front. I’ve rounded the top edges for some extra interest.

I’ve used the Painted Christmas designer series paper which makes a great background. The flowers and leaves were all stamped in one go and cut out together which means making this tag is easy and simple.
