Evening all!

Papercraft Essentials 125 went on sale last Thursday and I'm delighted to say that I made the cover with my Color Burst projects! I think the colours in the Color Burst range lend themselves perfectly to Christmas projects, it's never been easier to get intense colour with texture! 

It can always be tricky to batch-make Christmas cards, but by creating a few large colourful backgrounds and drying with a heat gun, you can then cut down to make many smaller cards! I experimented with a mix of heat embossing techniques to resist the Colour Burst pigments, paper piecing and painting with the pigment to achieve different results.

I sent my card designs to Ken - who loves what I've done with the range! I'm a very happy crafter!

Here are just a few of the cards I made - I hope you like! :)

Evening all,

It's been a while, which i regret!

Apparently June is a very busy month for occasions, i've spent most of my time trying to create unique gifts and presents for loved ones and very little time experimenting with my own 'stuff'.

Lovely Stephanie owner of Clearly Besotted was kind enough to send me a fab new stamp set from her Summer releases which helped me get my mojo back!

The Let's Roll stamp set is perfect for so many occasions, and I couldn't resist using this unique sentiment! The card is a mix of odds and sods, including hand-cut grass! I hope you like it!

You can find this adorable stamp set here!

Evening all,

The best thing about working in a crafty environment is working with some truly lovely creative people. I think I certainly learn more nattering to my friends and colleagues than watching TV...

My lovely new friend Aimes, *SHOUT OUT* introduced me to a stamping brand very dear to her heart, Clearly Besotted! And i soon learnt how amazing the owner & creator Stephanie is!

I'm besotted, and whenever i get chance to make a cheeky card, i find myself reaching for their stash!

I hope you like my latest make - Patterned papers + Clearly Besotted + Wink of Stella <3

Planning to attack IKEA at the weekend for my dream craft space... wish me [+ my credit card] luck!
