Winter Snowflakes in Spring (Technique Tuesday)

Hello everyone, welcome back!

It's about time that the Christmas cards start being made and posted! Time has flown - it doesn't seem like it's yet time for Halloween, let alone Christmas! I've got a nice and quick Christmas card for you today, easy to create multiples of and have prepared for when the time comes. Let's take a look! 

Naughty or Nice (Santa's come to visit!) - Stamp and Colour kit (Uniquely Creative)

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another post! As you may be aware, I have been approached by Uniquely Creative, a small Australian-based crafting company, who have asked me to guest design for them using the new October kit - and the wait is now over!

Uniquely Creative produce some great products in a wide variety of animal, floral and other themes. I especially a fan of the Aussie sets (I don't see a lot of genuine representation in the crafting industry so this is amazing) and I couldn't wait to get started!

As Christmas is just around the corner, this release is perfectly timed to give you some new sets to play with and create some projects to send out!

Simple Stencil Birthday Cards

Hello everyone, welcome back.

I look back on the September month and realise how many things I had going on - birthdays, engagement parties and weddings, anniversaries and other events - I really need some quiet weekends to catch up on me time!

Today I'll be sharing two simple male-based birthday card ideas which you can easily use to create some cards for the guys in your life!

Creating My Own Stencil!

Hello everyone, welcome back to another post.

Hydrangea colouring with Alcohol Markers (Altenew Paint-A-Flower)

Just a quick one today where I'll be talking about the Hydrangea Flower from the Paint-A-Flower line produced by Altenew!

Ink Blending and the Calla Lily (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hello everyone, welcome back!

It's slowly creeping towards warmer weather here in Australia, and I am hanging out for some sunshine! In trying to hurry on the happiness of spring, I've made two colourful cards using the new Calla Lily stamp from Technique Tuesday. 

Camellia Flower (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hi everyone, welcome back!

Another month means another Greenhouse Society release from Technique Tuesday! With postage all over the world being slower than usual, along with extra precautionary delays, I often don't get my packages for ages - it's a real treat when something comes through. Here's the April release: the Camellia Flower. I've got three cards to show you today!

Roses with Polychromos Pencil Colouring (Altenew's Paint-a-Flower Release)

Hello everyone! Welcome back.

I don't often purchase monthy subscriptions for crafting materials, but when I saw the new Paint-A-Flower monthly release from Altenew I fell in love. These are a stamp-only release with usually one large and one small floral image. You all know I love florals and I was excited at the clean lines and various ways you could use them.

I've got two cards to share today using the Rose stamp set. Let's get into it!

Colouring the Cascading Flowers release (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hi everyone, welcome back.

I hope you're all safe and well and enjoying yourselves as much as possible during these strange times. Let's get started!

Concord and 9th - Grateful for You with Nuvo Pens

Hello everyone! Welcome back.

It's been a while but I'm back with a banger of a post, showing you some of the cards I've made using Concord and 9th's Grateful For You large bouquet stamp. I really enjoy this image and it's worth the time it takes to colour!

I also have a small surprise (unless you've come here from Instagram - not so much of a surprise then) so keep reading for something I was holding onto for a while!

Avery Elle - Woodland Wonder Window Cards

Hello everyone! Welcome back.

Today I'll be talking about the three cards I've made with Avery Elle's Woodland Wonder set. A new one to me, I had a bunch of fun making some window cards and stretching myself to do things I'm not yet good at! I hope you enjoy.

Watercolour Experiments with the Royal Jasmine (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hello everyone! 

I'm popping in with another quick card using Technique Tuesday's Royal Jasmine flower!

It's been a busy and yet quiet couple of weeks. I've been without work for a month but I have the good news that I can go back soon! So I'll be back into the swing of usual business. In the meantime, I've had a chance to relax, spend time with my boyfriend and, of course, craft!

Alluring Orchid and Rose Gold Embossing Powder (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hello everyone!

Welcome back. What a crazy time we are living in, huh?
I hope you are all staying safe and well. Currently, I'm still working full time but we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm crafting whenever I can.

Take a break and check out how to make these cards using the Alluring Orchid set from Technique Tuesday!

Glorious Pretty Peacocks (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hello everyone!

What a time we're living in, huh? It's been a crazy 2020 and honestly, I'm not sure if anyone knows what's coming next! Bush fires ripped through much of Australia's backyard, and now the world is in turmoil with the Corvid-19 virus spreading rapidly. It's enough to wonder how the economy will cope, how people won't go crazy if they're in lockdown, and what the world is coming to!

However, I'm here to brighten up your day with some gorgeous peacocks from the new Technique Tuesday March release! It was a lot of fun to sit down and colour, focus on my desk and not what's going on outside. I hope you enjoy!

Some Cute Bunnies (Technique Tuesday Animal House)

Hello everyone!

Colouring the Mixed Flower Bouquet (Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another blog post.

It's been a bit quiet on the blog front, I know. I've been fairly busy with a new job and a new relationship and all the rest! It's a public holiday today so I've been able to sit down and spend some time on the slightly-neglected areas of my life. I hope you enjoy this post.

Today's post is all about the February Greenhouse Society release from Technique Tuesday: the gorgeous Mixed Flower Bouquet. I love going through the release page and seeing what everyone makes!

Playful Penguins (Technique Tuesday Animal House)

Hello everyone! 

Welcome back to another blog. I've got some exciting new projects to share with you today.

As you may be aware, I've been designing for Technique Tuesday, using their floral Greenhouse Society Stamps. This month I've been very privileged to receive, along with the January floral stamps, the Animal House release: a set of animals and cute sayings that are also produced each month. 

January's animal is the Playful Penguin and these are some very cute critters!

Polychromos Pencils - First Impressions (with Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society)

Hello everyone! Welcome back.

If you've hung around on my Instagram recently, you may be aware that I purchased some new fancy pencils and I've been dying to try them out!

I took the opportunity to create a design inspired by a card I saw from Martin Stone, a very popular crafter on Instagram. He also created interesting backgrounds using stencils, shapes and lines. I decided to have a closer look and try it out myself!
