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

Make and Create/Card and a Cuppa - Scenic Coast Suite - 27.5.2026

Today’s Make and Create/Card and a Cuppa we made a super simple card using the Scenic Coast Suite, letting the beautiful specialty paper and dies do all the work. We added a little heat-embossed sentiment from the Banner Sayings bundle and finished it off with some Sparkling Sequins for that extra touch of sparkle. Simple, effective and such an easy design to recreate.
