One of my colleagues finished up at work recently, as her position was made redundant. I have worked closely with her for quite a few years, and I’m very sad to see her leave 🙁 She has commented before that I usually make her cards with ‘island colours’ (she is from Fiji), so I wanted […]
I have been busy with work and bootcamp, and am very behind with my posts. I’ll put them up over the next few weeks. This is a card I made for one of my friends when his mother passed away. The paper and topper are from a Melissa Frances set, edged with blue and antique […]
Recently two of my friends had a joint birthday party, fancy dress theme. (ok the theme was Game of thrones but I wasn’t feeling it). I had these gorgeous papers by KaiserCraft from their ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ paper set. They are very floral and vibrant, but there are also the classic illustrations by Tenniel throughout […]
Another birthday card for someone at work. This time I tried a layout I saw in a magazine, it is simple but effective I think. Fold craft cardstock, ink the edges. Trim a piece of ‘La Spa’ paper from Prima Marketing’s Fairy Belle collection, and then distress and ink the edges in a lighter (contrasting) […]

Square butterfly and text paper cut to fit, distressed and inked around the edges. Attached to card, thne flower on gold paper added to […]
My brother’s birthday was in July, and he is a big fan of cats (like all my family). I have a tin of Cavallini & Co vintage cat poster stickers, and I found one that actually has July on it – a Harper’s cover from what I can tell. Because I am trying to use […]
I realised that although I had mentioned making a wedding card for a colleague, I had not actually put it up here. N was returning to Sri Lanka for a very colourful and vibrant wedding, and I wanted to reflect that in my card design. So here it is – brightly coloured and using one […]
The final farewell was this week, another of our contractors left as we have finally filled the position permanently. Metallic white square card, edged with Aged Mahogany ink. Floral paper trimmed to fit, edged with Antique Linen. Nestabilities Label 17 die used to make floral label and white card label (yay! first time I have […]
The second person to leave was a workmate who has moved to Melbourne, as her partner lives there. L is obsessed with all things French, so I used that as her theme. Stamp Stampington’s ‘Visit to Paris‘ by Claudine Hellmuth onto smooth coated cardstock with Versafine ink. Edge in blue ink, layer onto black cardstock, […]
We have had a few staff leave at work lately, and a few new arrivals to go with that. So farewell cards have been in demand lately. First of the departures at work was a casual who has been working with us for a few years, first as a student then recently as a grad. […]
