Today I share a technique I tripped across while working out how to use a pot of glitter paste. I am really quite thrilled how it turned out. The sparkle paper technique adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to my card, the video, guides you through the step-by-step process of creating this beautiful birthday card, from preparing the materials to adding the final touches.

I use just one sheet of paper to create the pocket then decorate it up with some stickers, journaling cards and a cute little cluster.

As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. Like last year, I recognize not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month and included a video to show how I went about making the card.
So today I share, New Year SnowFlakes

Continue readingIt is exactly one year ago today that we arrived back to live in the UK after 23 years in the US! That time has simply flown by and I am sincerely thankful that we have been able to keep in contact with our friends in the US as well as settling in our new lives back here and spending time with family which was our principle reason for returning. Although Thanksgiving is not recognised here in the UK we are cooking our Thanksgiving Lunch as I write this!
Today I am sharing a masculine themed card ~ always a challenge for me, but I have invested in some new stamp sets that are more ‘fella’ oriented and was quite chuffed with the result!
Continue readingAs I said in my video, gift tags are always the last thing I remember to get at this time of year and when I go looking last minute there is very little choice left if any at all!
I started early this year and have made my own, using different techniques that make them look expensive and special (although they only cost pennies in supplies)

Over the last few weeks I have been working on the calendar for 2026 ~ I am excited to share it with you and will be including a video of how I take each calendar decorative panel and design the card!
So today I share, Beautiful Autumn Leaves
Continue readingA few weeks back I shared how I created an album for keeping my Artist Trading Cards. I finished the video with the basic album. With today’s video I take the album and added a closure and decorated the front cover.
