Thank goodness it's Friday!

And with that, I'd like to share a lovely little feature I contributed to Die-cutting Essentials issue 12, which focusses on using free paint swatches to make ombre-inspired cards!

I so enjoyed making these clean & simple cards, and have since made many more cards with different swatches and colourways. I'm becoming more adventurous with colour, the beauty of paint swatches is that the colour combinations to create an ombre-look are ready and free to take from local DIY shops!

This fab build-a-cake die is from My Mind's Eye and come with a banner die and a diamond ring - great for wedding, engagement and birthday cards!

This is my favourite, remember it's important to smile! :)

Ahoy hoy!

I've got that Friday feeling, and this weekend I'm planning to knuckle down and make some cards just for me! There's a bunch of stamps that I've been dying to use, and it's been a while since I got chance to have a messy stamping sesh! 

Recently, I was lucky enough to be given the chance to make some retro cards with the gorgeous Basic Grey Typeset collection! I love the colour scheme and the cool embellishments in this collection - the patterned papers are just so damn funky too!

Here's a sneak peek of a few of my cards in this feature, to get the full scoop you'll need to peruse Simply Cards & Papercraft 145 which is on sale now! Grab it here!

Keep smiling!
