I was lucky enough to have this card published as a Guest Tutor for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine recently. This is a fun idea that I learned from the genius of all techniquesJennifer McGuire, thank you yet again!
Hello There – DetailHello There
I’m having such a relaxing time on my holidays, slowly ticking of the ‘very long’ list of things to do (ie I’ve cleaned out my craft cupboard, phew!), heading out for lunch by the beach, catching up with friends and even seeing some movies….. I will be back real soon, I have another video mini series starting next week and I can’t wait to start sharing it with you.
Hello there, time for some butterfly triangles at Muse today and I had so much fun making this card… but I also have a couple of other ideas, what would it look like with all the butterfly triangles popped up? or I was thinking maybe some glossy accents just over the butterfly itself to add dimension?
I can’t wait to see how this inspires you!

So as easy as this looks, I totally struggled with this… so after much debate I ended up using the butterflies and the teal colour for my inspiration. Looking at how CAS my card is there shouldn’t have been a struggle at all lol.

Another beautiful set is our feature for AnnaBelle Stamps this month, how could you not adore Remember When, these flowers and sentiments are soo sweet. Although today I made the flowers into what I kinda think looks like giant grass, and it’s been too long since I coloured this gorgeous girl. Hope you like it, it’s kinda different for me.

Maybe I can dream that I have the style of one of these glamorous models at Runway Inspired Challenge and can put together an outfit as stunning as this (let alone look good in it too lol), but I’m afraid for me, I didn’t inherit that gene….. all I can say is I’m lucky I wear a uniform to work, I would have a melt down every morning if I had to actually choose what I had to wear.
Anyhoo I digress, I thought I would film while I made this card as I had a request to show how I made this card HERE.
It’s finally here, it’s time for the new release at AnnaBelle Stamps!

This month the challenge is Spring is in the Air and I just had to play with some fabulous stamps from Hero Arts & Flourishes.
Gotta say that this is not my fave colour combination and when I think about it maybe it’s the fact that my school uniform was dark green and bright yellow and I wore it for way too many years…. I don’t mind how this card turned out but you can’t love everything you make right, I’m thinking maybe in different colours?
