I was 7th in the chain for this round and have created a worded card using the mini alphabet die

Lets take a closer look at this card. I created a layered look for the background using stamps, wawtercolouring and splatters of ink.

I loved the process, it was fun and creative to just go a bit rogue. 

I cut up the panel in all directions, no plan, just cut cut cut

Carry the theme thru to the inside with lots of overlapping stamped images

If you dont have this die set - grab it quick! the bubble letters are fun and versatile

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Monique and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 9th in the chain for this round and have created this shake card - I havent made one in the longest time. They're so fun.

Lets take a closer look at this card. My first thing I did was to create the front panel. Die cut the shapes out from DSP

To create a thin GOLD frame for this die cut, simply cut around the edge of the die cut with your scissors, take your time and cut as evenly as you can

For the inside, I carried the theme thru with som ink splatters from my Stampin' Blends

A very elegant and different bundle, available from the Annual catalogue until May 2026

Triple Layer Coloured Butterfly - Card Chain Swap for Genna

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Genna and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 6th in the chain for this round and have created a beautiful colourful Butterfly card using Stampin Blends and the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. I must give credit for this lovely colouring technique to Juli from Sunny Day Stamping, it inspired me to make some colourful butterflies myself. 

Lets take a closer look at this card. I have made this card into a Triple Layer card - offset, I love it!
The coloured parts look so striking against the white background. This card was fun and calming to create, all that colouring was therapeutic. 

 I've chosen Cherry Cobbler for my background frame colour, I'm loving how it pairs well with the other colours - Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight and Secret Sea for the outlines of the Butterflies. 

The inside continues with the theme.

This stamp set is beautiful with nice large images, I was lucky enough to get it while it was a free Saleabration item, but it is still available for purchase.. grab it quick!

I was 10th in the chain for this round and have created a pretty Dove card using the Peace on Earth Suite - I've used the Bundle, matching DSP, Ribbon & Glimmer papers! Its got it all.

Lets take a closer look at this card. How well do these colours work. I love the deep and calmness they bring together. 

This bundle is my favourite from this years selection of Christmas ones. 

Some simple sponging on the inside using the negative of the shimmery die cuts from the front of the card.

Christmas Banner for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas and welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Decorate the Christmas Tree. What a novel idea - to create something to decorate the tree! So many possibilities.

I have created a Peaceful Christmas Banner. It fits in perfectly with the doves and ponsietta flowers in my tree.

Here's the challenge picture

Lets take a closer look at this project.

I began by die cutting letters from glimmer paper. I like to bring a little of my own culture to each christmas so spelling out Feliz Navidad was easy with the Mini Alphabet die set. 

I adhered each letter to a 1' circle cut out. Each DSP banner measures 2-1/2 ' x 2", I cut out a little banner edge to each one. 

I added a few bows for a sweet touch...

... along with some Hues of Blue Flower embellishments

It looks great in the tree and matchs the colours of my tree decorations so well!
