It’s been another busy year of crafting here. Thanks for following me along.
I thought I would take a few minutes and share my favourite projects from the past year. So come on a little journey with me. And click on the heading of the project to take you back to the original post and read more about them. Even catch the video of many of them.
I loved this gorgeous Friendly Hello Paper available for Sale-A-Bration in January. And this is great fold to show both sides of the gorgeous paper. (Must try that again).
This was a great stamp set to create a Slider card. But you can try this with any of your stamps. What about that Sunshine and Rainbows paper. So bright and Happy. 🙂
Let’s face it – Male cards are hard to make aren’t they?? We had a great Masculine Cards Class earlier in the year. The Let’s Set Sail stamps and punch were fun to use.
The Wild and Sweet Stamp set was one of my top picks from the new catalogue in May. I don’t do a lot of colouring but I loved colouring this cute Koala. I shared some tips colouring this image in the video for this card.
The Hues of Happiness was another of my top picks from the catalogue. I think many people also loved this suite. The Tunnel cards I created with this has been very popular.
The most popular event this year with the Winter Crafternoon. It was such a fun time crafting together followed by a Devonshire Tea. Watch out for more events in the new year.
Another very popular Fun Fold from this year was the Diagonal Fold Card with the Christmas Lights Bundle. Lots of people have shared their versions with me which has been so great.
Is there a theme here with Fun Folds that are my favourite projects for the year. I do love a Fun Fold card. This one was the Half Fold Easel Card with the Hippest Hippos Stamp set for Sale-A-Bration.
It was great to be part of a collaboration to share you some fantastic Christmas projects. I kicked the 12 days series off with my project, A candle with the Merriest Moments stamps and dies. You just have to go back to that post and start the 12 Days of Christmas to check out all the projects.
I hope you have enjoyed looking back at these projects. I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming year.
To lots of creating in 2022. Come and join in with me and follow along.
Another card with the Adventurous Journey. I have loved this stamp set. Really! It’s a great one for the boys cards – or the adventurer.
I have used the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper which is an awesome pack of paper. It is a Host Rewards item from the current Mini Catalogue that you can redeem with your orders. It has paper suitable for Christmas, birthdays, Halloween even but suitable for lots of occasions.
The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.
I have more with this set that I will share with you over time so watch out for them.

I have been playing a lot with the Adventurous Journey stamp set lately. It’s such a great one for the boys cards. It was fun to use this in class last week too.
I wanted to try something a little different. I have noticed Book Binding Fold cards around and thought that would work well.
Here is the card.
The outside.
The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment I stamped the words on the Balmy Blue card and Crushed Curry Card. Then diecut them with the long sentiment die in the Sending Dies. It was easy to just trim them down.
I find that a lot easier than trying to squeeze a sentiment on a thin strip of card.
The paper is from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack which is a Host Reward in the Mini Catalogue. It’s great paper by the way. It has such a range of colours and prints. Why not take a closer look at it.
This is the inside.
I think I will just have to put together a video soon for it. So stay tuned on that.

I have been playing with the Let’s Set Sail stamps and punch recently. Today we had fun using these in class. I thought I would share with you one of the cards which was quite popular.
It’s a simple card really and just cutting off the front of the card at half way.
This is the inside.
I am loving the circle diecut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Do you notice the squiggle embossed line around the edge? It gives your images a fun effect. It layers well with one of the Layering Circles Dies too.
I love that the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper co-ordinates so well with the stamps and dies too.
The paper is running out very soon. Be sure to grab it.

This weekend it’s all about the Sailing Home Bundlein my classes and on my blog here. So I think it’s a good time to have a closer look at the full Come Sail Away Suite for Sunday Suitestoday.
This is a really great suite for those hard-to-make men’s cards. Let’s face it. We all struggle with them. While it might be boats and sailing there are some other fun elements. Let’s have a look.
You can make some of the samples above and lots more with any or all of the Suite products below.
The Come Sail Away Suite can be ordered with just one item code making shopping so much easier. #152175 $165.25 AUD
or you can pick just one or 2 of the items.
I wanted to show you a couple of the products in closer detail.
The Memories and More Cardpack features maritime images. It has 50 double-sized cards and they come in 2 different sizes. 3″ x 4″ (7.6 x 10.2 cm) and 4″ x 6″ (10.2 x 15.2 cm) sizes. I love the single-sided laser-cut specialty cards. See them below.
There is also some sticker sheets included too. Don’t just think of the these card packs for scrapbooking. They are great for cards as well.
You have to check out the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.
The prints show really don’t show it justice to be honest. There are some great nautical prints. Check the video below the paper image.
Now you need to see this High Seas 3D Embossing Folder closer. It is like waves. Great with this bundle. Available now for $17 AUD #149577 (You can order it in store in the link below)
You get a really good idea of this embossing folder in the Soft Suede sample below. And by the way the card above that uses one of the diecut cards from the Memories and More pack.
What do you think of this bundle. I can tell you everyone has loved using them in class this weekend. … And they may have added it to their orders. 🙂
