I was featured in a UK Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine issue 71. It was a great thrill and the stamp set I used was a Stampin' Up set Fishy Friends - one of many from my favourites.
Christmas Glitter
I used white card stock as the base of this card then with the green card stock I chose to stamp a Christmas background by Hero Arts with Versamark then attached it to the card. With the red card stock I used the Big Shot and embossed it with a Sizzix template Holly and Berries and with a bit of sanding you have another background piece to attach to the card. The tree by Victoria's Secret - Curly Christmas Tree is stamped on white Stampin' Up card stock with gold Encore Ultimate Metallic ink pad, chalked with Kaisercolour Pearlescent Chalk set then with gel glitter pens to highlight the tree. The tree was mounted on green card stock and with a pear of scissors I distressed each side of the green card then mounted this to the card with 3D foam. The words Friends and Family is by Penny Black which was stamped with gold ink on white card stock then mounted with red and green card stock for a layered affected then mounted with 3D foam onto the card. This card is now completed and for those who would like this shown on video please express your interest.
Christmas by Nature
After selecting your coloured card stock plum for the base, mount pink card stock. With Stampin' Up stamp set Bloom Away use StazOn black ink to stamp the image. Then with coloured markers and a water brush to colour in the image. This card can be used a Christmas or birthday card.
Christmas Glitter
No stamping required for this one. The company Paper Square sale this pattern paper and with a bit a glitter here and there, you've got yourself a Christmas card. Select white card stock for this card. and cut to size Christmas patterned paper and attach to the bottom part of the card. Add double sided tape at the top and bottom of the patterned paper and once you peel off the protection sheet, dip your card into silver glitter - the glitter will only attach to the double sided tape. To make the center piece cut to size black card stock and add double sided tape to most of it, leaving some black at each sides. Before adding glitter cut more pattered paper like this tree and add this to the middle, then dip it in green glitter. Brush away any extra glitter with a soft brush and mount this to your card. You know have a stamp free Christmas Card. Enjoy!!
Christmas Cards
This beautiful stamp set is by Kaszazz - Merry Christmas Bold, Pine Tree-Flourish Large with Merry Christmas greeting paper.

Birthday Card Book
In the inside of this card I used eyelet setter to punch out two holes through the papers and the back of the card this always me to add the blue ribbon, holding all the papers together. I created the tag by printing the image and sprayed Fixative to protect the image from fading. I create a pouch at the bottom to fit the tag in.
King For A Day Birthday Card
I chose light blue card stock as the base of my card then I used the tearing technique for the printed paper by cre8tiv-Life Series and added it to the base. I used black StazOn ink for the stamp by Whipper Snapper Designs-Larry the Lion and then I chalked the image. Once I was finished chalking I sprayed fixative over the lion, be careful to spray at arms length and very lightly otherwise the ink might smear. I then added glitter glue and once that dried, I layered it with light blue coloured paper and attached it to the card. The words Just For You is by Stampin' Up-Oval All this was stamped then punched with an oval punch, I mounted this to the card with 3D foam. I hope you try it out-Enjoy!

I used light and dark blue card stock to layer the owl and then mounted the owl with 3D foam tape. A happy birthday sign was added to finish off the card.

Loving My Fishy Friends
Boy, I'm loving my Fishy Friends stamp set by Stampin' Up - I chose green metallic card stock as my base. I used Fiskars textured plate called Filigree and embossed blue card stock before adding it to the card. I tore a piece of vellum sheet to give it a rough look, then attaching it to the card using vellum tape. Vellum tape allows you to attached vellum on any surface and the tape won't show through. If you love working with vellum, I recommend this tape. Then I used double sided tape to attach the baby blue ribbon. I stamped one of the fishy friends with watercolour pencils then I added glitter to the image. I mounted this image to baby blue card stock then attached it to the card. I stamped happy birthday onto white card stock and used Fiskars tag punch and punch around the sign, then with Fiskars eyelet setter I attach an eyelet onto the tag before attaching tag to the card with adhesive tape.
Flamingo Birthday Card
I used papers from a cardmaking magazine's, I used white card stock for my base then added light blue on top. I cut a small darker blue piece of card stock and attached it to the bottom of card. From the magazine I used a a strip of patterned paper and cutting around the flamingo and attaching it to the card. I used double sided tape for the pipe cleaner as legs for the bird. Happy birthday was stamped and mounted with 3d foam, two gems were added. Liquid glue was used to attach the white feathers and pink gem together onto the card. Let it dry overnight and walla you have a Flamingo birthday card. Give it a go!
Boys Birthday Card With Fishy Friends
With Stampin' Up Fishy Friends I found making boys and mens card a lot easier. I stamped Happy Happy Birthday from the All-Year Cheer II by Stampin' Up directly onto the card. I used my Coluzzle to cut out two circles with different coloured card stock I used the watercolor wonder crayons from Stampin' Up for the fish then I added some glitter glue. After stamping and colouring the image I cut around the fish and attached it to the card with double sided tape.

Spring Card Tutorial
My very first Tutorial on the Spring Card butterfly so check it out and let me know what you think about it. Just click Tutorials.
Spring Card Butterfly
When you print the template score the lines as shown.It may appear there is a square piece missing from this template but don't worry this template is designed to make the spring card big we add the square later.
This is how it should look like.
Know bend the triangle back and let go it should spring back up.
This is where we add a square card stock.
This square should be light so try to use light card stock.
I have provided the square template on the bottom.
You might don't be able to see the template because I drew it lightly so you can use this straight on card stock when printing.
Depending on your printer size not be the same.
Decorate the square before adding this on the spring card.
Use adhesive on the lower part of the triangle.
Now you have a big spring card.
For the template click here.
Birthday Card With Fiskars
I love butterflies as you have probably guested by now. First I emboss Happy Birthday onto the card. Then I used Fiskars Butterfly No.2 template, then added ribbon stripe, decorative paper and some flower embellishments.

40th Birthday Card
This birthday card was for a 40th, I used by Big Shot-Sizzlits Butterfly#2. I love using glitter as you can see. I put the wings through a Xyron machine to give me sticky wings without making the card stock wet, I then added Jones Tones Glitter powder which gave me the finishing touch I was looking for.
Birthday Card With Stamp-It Bear
This is a money birthday cards, I really enjoyed making these so I made a batch of them and then added the stamp later. I coloured in with chalks and when I was finished, I used Fixative spray so the chalk won't fade or smudge-highly recommend it. This stamp is by Stamp-it in

This stamp can be used for both male or female and is great for 40th birthdays. I particularly liked the amount of candles the hedge hog is holding. I coloured the image with markers and a blender pen and using quality paper makes the task at hand easier. I added Pearlescent chalks to give the picture a shine and sprayed Fixative over the chalk so the chalk won't rub off. When you open this card there is a pouch that holds money or a voucher.
