Card and a Cuppa - Paper Pumpkin Sparkling Celebrations alternatives - 10.6.2026

Santorini Sailing? ⛵️

Card and a Cuppa today we created more variations of the Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin kit. Using pieces from the kit and adding the Scenic Coast Specialty Paper, along with a little sailboat, to create a very relaxing and serene scene.

I love how easy it is to take the kit elements and create something completely different with just a few extra supplies. 🌊

Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit

The Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin kit is such a fun and versatile kit to create with. The original design is the card in the top left, but I couldn’t resist creating a couple of variations using the beautiful lantern design.

One of the things I love most about kits is that they provide a great starting point, but it’s easy to step outside the instructions and make the projects your own. A few simple changes can give you completely different looks while still making the most of the kit contents.

Which design is your favourite – the original or one of the lantern variations?

Make it Monday - Wild Bunch POTM - 8.6.2026

A cute little card created using a sketch and this month’s Product of the Month – Wild Bunch – teamed with the beautiful Valley Blooms Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies. I also added texture with the Ferns & Flora Embossing Folder.

Sometimes a simple sketch is all you need to get your creativity flowing!

Card and a Cuppa - Embossed Washi Tape - 3.6.2026

Yesterday’s Card and a Cuppa we played with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape, Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder and the Classic Labels Ephemera Pack. We added a touch of Linen Thread to create these soft and delicate sympathy cards.

For me, sympathy cards are always the hardest cards to make. They need to convey care, comfort and support during a difficult time, and I hope these designs achieve that with their simple and gentle style. Link to myvideo here https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pr7-WM581Zo&si=YbfFdlCmk_3ORLCm

Make it Monday - Sunset Coast - 1.6.2026

Today’s “Make it Monday” was my take on a card by the @thecraftyoinkpen from an online event I did a couple of weeks ago. Using the Scenic Coast bundle, add a little bit of water colouring, I managed to replicate Mikaela’s card ☺️. Link to my video here https://youtube.com/live/8zrWh5HE7F4?si=U1ofGYTeLrzdvPRc
