TOP PICKS FROM 2022!

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.

Friendly Hello Fun Fold

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).

Driving By Slider Card

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. 🙂

Waves of Inspiration (Moon Effect)

I have loved creating with the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and I was so excited when I discovered how to create the moon effect with the stamps.

Half Fold Let’s Set Sail

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.

Wild and Sweet Watercolouring

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.

Tunnel Cards with Hues of Happiness

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.

Winter Crafternoon with Cup of Tea Bundle

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.

A Pocket Card with Cup of Tea Bundle

Christmas Lights Diagonal Fold

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.

Hello Hippest Hippos Half Fold Easel Card

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.

Adventurous Journey for the adventurer

Another great stamp set for the Male cards or the adventurer is the Adventurous Journey stamp set. We had a great class with this stamp set.

Merriest Moments Candle for the 12 Days of Christmas series

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.

KOALA HAPPINESS WITH WILD AND SWEET!

Today a little “happy” card for you. Well I hope it is anyway.

I have shared a lot of cards recently with the Wild and Sweet Stamp set but realised I hadn’t shared this one.

I teamed the koala with the Hues of Happiness paper. It makes for a bright, happy card.

The koala is simply stamped in Gray Granite. The scallop edge is from the Scalloped Contours Dies.

I realised that the sentiment is I think, from a retired stamp set. I was trying to find where it was from. Sorry.

Fun Fact for my overseas readers. A Koala is not a bear. It is commonly called that. It is in fact a marsupial and not related to the bear family. 🙂

Hope you have a “happy” Wednesday.

SWEET SATURDAY – WILD AND SWEET AND OCEAN FRONT!

Today for Sweet Saturday I wanted to share a well… sweet card. With Wild and Sweet.

As I was playing with it recently I thought it would be cool to add some more “vegetation”. I looked through my stamps and found the Oceanfront stamp set.

This card was one I stepped up a little from a class card recently.

Here is the card.

I also used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, Sunprints Designer Series Paper, Sending Smiles Stamp Set, Blossoming Happiness Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies. Of course, finishing off with Pebbles Enamel Shapes.

Hope you like this sweet card.

WILD AND SWEET KOALA 2 WAYS!

I have 2 slightly different cards. Both with the Koala from the Wild and Sweet Stamp Set. Both are in Gray Granite and the paper is from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper.

What’s your pick? Scallops or Stripes version.

The sentiment for the Scallop one is from the Sending Wishes Bundle. The “Make a Difference” sentiment (which is actually a really lovely sentiment to say to someone don’t you think??) is from the Inspiring Thoughts Stamp set.

The scallop edge is using the Scalloped Contour Dies.

The stripes is using the Stripes Folder from the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder pair. The Embossing Folders are narrow but I ran it through twice to cover the card mat. You don’t really even notice the “join”.

Have you checked out the new Catalogue yet?? Lots to love.
