Cuppa and Card: Thank You - Bloom & Grow

I've gotten a bit behind in sharing my cards from each weeks Cuppa and Card classes. I think this particular card was actually from the class two weeks ago.

All through May, the Cuppa and Card class show cased the gorgeous Bloom & Grow stamp set which will be carrying over to the new annual catalogue, which I'm so happy about. I just love the gorgeous flow sprays in this stamp set.


This week, I used Terracotta Tile which is part of the 2019/21 incolors. It's not a favourite of mine, but I was thrilled to see how gorgeous it looks when paired with So Saffron and Petal Pink. The this colours go together perfectly!

The background on the Terracotta Tile card front was made, by inking the flower stamp in Versamark and then stamping it over and over again. This is one of my favourite techniques and I love the tone on tone effect you get. It's a brilliant way to make "patterned paper".

If you would like to take part in my June Card and Cuppa classes, drop me an email HERE and I'll will give you all the payment information. Foe more details on this online class just head on over to my Card and Cuppa page.

Hello Friend - 2020/22 Incolors

I can't believe the annual catalogue goes live in 4 days and you guys will all finally get to take the new incolours home with you.

To celebrate these awesome new colours I thought I would use them on a card, which design shows them off to the fullest.

I just love this idea of a block of colour against a white background. But as usual I couldn't just leave it white, so I used the awesome brick wall embossing folder to give the card some texture. It also made me think of the bold pop of colour as a piece of modern art on a gallery wall.



This colours are beautiful and pair so nicely with our current incolors too. If you would like to get your hands on all of these fab new colours plus all the embellishments, cardstock and other awesome products that coordinate, then maybe joining my Incolor Club is right for you. For a small monthly subscription, you will received a bundle of incolor goodies each month for 5 five months. For all the details and what's included just click HERE.

Cuppa and Cards - June: Under My Umbrella

I'm excited to share a sneak of my next Cuppa and Card class for June. We will be showcasing the awesome new Under My Umbrella stamp.
Originally I was planning on using the 6x6 stacks as part of the class kits, but due to them having been on the retirement list, they have since sold out!
So I've decided that we will hold off starting this class until 11th June. This allows you to place your Cuppa and Card class product purchases on 3rd June, when the new catalogue goes live.
The items that you will need to purchase to participate in the class are:

  • Under My Umbrella Stamp Set: 151518 $28.00
  • Brights 6x6 Designer Series Stack: 152487 $20.00
  • Optional Extra: I would highly recommended adding the coordinating punch to your order. It will save you a lot of fussy cutting: 151293 $31.00

Card kits will be sent out as soon as your order has been placed. Classes will be each Thursday at 1pm via Zoom, which will be recorded and shared on my Facebook page and Youtube on the same day.

Happy Crafting,

Watercolour Blossoms - Many Layered Blossoms

I had so much fun creating this card. If you happened to catch me last Sunday on my Facebook live with my regular Sunday session you would have seen me pull out a brand new die from the upcoming Annual Catalogue. There was a card in the catalogue that inspired me to purchase the Many layered Blossoms die and so I decided to have a go at recreating it. I've got to say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!


How gorgeous is it!! I grabbed a huge collection of inks, die cut the flowers from our watercolour paper and got painting. I decided to paint the fuller die with lighter shades of colour and then, with the thinner die, I painted it with a slightly deep shade, so it would stand out more.
When choosing which card base to place it on, I really couldn't decided between Petal Pink or Coastal Cabana, so I decided now would be a great time to try out a technique that I had seen Jennifer McGuire use. It's where you split the die cut in half so it can then be used to create two cards. Because this die is so large it was perfect for this technique. It also meant, I didn't have to choose, as I could create two cards!
This layered blossom die is absolutely stunning and there is so much potential with it. I really can't wait to play some more with it very soon.

If you would like your very own copy of the new catalogue and you don't already have a demo, then fill out the form found HERE and I will get one sent to you. Australian address only unfortunately.

Kindness is always in Style - Dressed to Impress

Kindness really is always in Style and when you use the Best Dressed suite you can guarantee your cards will be too.

This is the last card from my Online class and today it's all about the gorgeous handbags, which I fussy cut from the Best Dressed designer series paper.
 And it has been awhile since I last used my favourite embossing folder, Scripty, so I felt that it was time I used it again. I was so thrilled to see that this folder will be with us for at least another year, as it's in the upcoming 2020/21 Annual catalogue. Along with some other gorgeous new folders.

I decided to pair Blackberry Bliss with a pop of Purple Posy and I really do love those two colours together. And just how cute are those little purses and handbags!!

If you would like to order any of the products I've used today, then feel free to pop along to my Online Store. And if you need any help, please don't hesitate to contact me. I love to hear from you all!
