Sending Smiles - Patterned paper card base
Hello & welcome. Today I'm sharing one of my recent class projects and the first of 6 new posts featuring the Sending Smiles stamp and die bundle. This card design was inspired by a beautiful card my darling man gave me for Mother's Day.
You can make beautifully coordinated cards with all the elements in the bundle. Even better, the fab 'Sending' stamp and die and coordinating sentiments play so well with others too.
You'll see them playing very nicely together today teamed with the Hues of Happiness paper and the Amazing Year stamp set.

JAI 617 choose two - Christmas scottie dog
Hello & welcome to another project share. This is my team project for this week's Just Add Ink Choose Two challenge and my first Christmas card of 2022. The three challenge options are gingham, dots, and die cuts. How to choose from these 3 faves?
A tricky choice but I went with dots and die cuts, creating a window card with the Christmas Scottie stamp and punch bundle, Trees for Sale stamp set, free Sale-a-bration Tree Lot dies, and a lovely, foiled, dotty scalloped paper from the Lights Aglow pack as my main elements.

Sunset sailing scene - two ways
Hello & welcome. Today's project is the second from my Summer in Winter class - a sunset scene featuring masking and ink blending techniques using Blending Brushes, and images from the Let's Set Sail stamp and punch bundle.
We've had lots of amazing sunrises and sunsets in Sydney over Winter, in between tons of rain so I thought it would be fun to recreate them with an idyllic Summer vibe.
I have two versions to show you - the original sample with a soft, dreamy sunset, and a post-class one with much deeper ink blending using the same colours. Here's the original...

JAI 615 inspiration challenge - serene grove neutral birthday
Hello and welcome! Today I have a bit of a different card to share, made for this week's Just Add Ink inspiration image challenge. This one definitely was a challenge as the image looked like something I'd be looking at as renovation ideas rather than to make a card.
After quite a bit of thinking I was drawn to the frame and back of the cabana structure, timber and touches of greenery, which gave me the idea to make fun fold card, using the Grove dies and Inspired Thoughts stamp sets.
