Back today with another card for Scrapbook Boutique. I’m addicted to Avery Elle stamps and when I saw this set I just had to have it… and of course the matching dies (wink).
I decided to film as I created just in case you wanted to watch.
Today I have a publication share and with the call being for ‘Gold’ I couldn’t resist. So a few splats here and there, some sequins and my all time fave butterfly and I was in card heaven.
Today and Always – DetailToday and Always
Off to get some ice cream now, thought we might as well go to Byron Bay for it and then we can sneak into our favourite art gallery for a peek (doncha just love holidays). See you again real soon,
ps sorry about the dark photo, the gold really did sparkle!
Other Supplies: Cardstock – Gold mirror card. Gold sequins.
This week’s technique for my Addicted to Die Cutting series is a fun one and seriously a great way to get more from those dies. It’s embossing with dies, kinda like creating your own diffuser!
You may have noticed that I have been MIA at the moment, I’m somewhere on a beach camping and visiting with friends, totally off the air. But I’ll be seeing you real soon, til then, Cheers!

A quick share today! I decided to make a card for fun… and I ‘should‘ be doing other things, how very naughty. But I’m on holidays and at home with my hubby who has manflu, it’s a very serious condition which requires a lot of attention and ooh’s and aaah’s. So in the meantime here I am. I wanted to play at the last Avery Elle challenge but missed it so I was determined to join this one and what a fun sketch it is too.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m back tomorrow with a special guest appearance, I can’t wait to see you then.
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!
