I rarely make minimalist "clean and simple" cards, but sometimes circumstances leave me with no alternative.

Supply Savvy ATC day 5
A quick and easy art card to finish off the mini class. Wrap a piece of cardboard in aluminium foil, then draw lines and punch holes to create an effect like riveted metal panels. Add a coat of black acrylic paint, let it dry a little and then run most of it off, leaving shading… Continue reading Supply Savvy ATC day 5
Supply Savvy ATC day 2
The main technique for the second day of the Artful Academy Supply Savvy challenge was using cling film with acrylic paint to create a textured background. I've done this with watercolour paint before and it turned out really nicely, but for some reason it just didn't work that well here — I must give it… Continue reading Supply Savvy ATC day 2
Time turner heart box
This box was made with a particular person in mind, the same person I made the Harry Potter wedding card for. She is one of the few people who would appreciate the time turner that has been lurking in my stash. I die-cut a heart from thick card and prepped that and the box with… Continue reading Time turner heart box
Barber shop Valentine
Valentine's Day. We don't make a big deal about it but, as a cardmaker, I could hardly miss the opportunity to make a card for my other half. I spotted this digi the other day while browsing through The Paper Shelter's large catalogue of images (so many lovely digis; I restrained myself and only… Continue reading Barber shop Valentine
Beautiful sequin heart
Remember the spooky tree Halloween panel? The one that started life as a pretty autumnal tree in my imagination? Well, this is where I ended up using the sequins that inspired that original idea. I came up with and discarded several ideas before finally deciding to try something I hadn't done before: actually sewing sequins.… Continue reading Beautiful sequin heart
Glitter hexagons with love
This is the last of the cards I made for the Sparkle & Shine class. There are still a few techniques that I will get round to trying at some point, but I was just about glittered out by the time I got to this one 🙂 I created an ombre effect on the hexagons… Continue reading Glitter hexagons with love
Gilded friend heart
A simple card, but effective. But then, anything shiny on a black background stands a good chance of looking nice 🙂 This was a really easy card to make. I just smeared stripes of the gilding polish across some watercolour paper and then die cut one large and three smaller hearts from it. I die… Continue reading Gilded friend heart
Deadpool Valentine
My other half came back from Brussels last weekend with a horrid cold and I thought I’d managed to avoid it, but no such luck. Add to that a weekend visit from my brother, which meant a lot more talking than usual, and now my voice has disappeared almost completely. Luckily I don’t need to… Continue reading Deadpool Valentine
Valentine’s Day: Mini bots
The first of my catch-up posts. This card was originally created on February 12th, which means this post is only three months late. These mini bots are just so cute, they were perfect for a Valentine card for my other half. The third bot is supposed to be a Cupid with his hand-drawn arrow, but… Continue reading Valentine’s Day: Mini bots
