Around the world!

Our June challenge theme over at
is AROUND THE WORLD.
It brought to mind the Jules Verne book Around the world in 80 days!

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs so get your
stamps out and come and join us!

For my card I dug out an very old stamp from Papermania called Chronology. 
I cut a piece of paper to fit my card, stamped some cogs and
matted onto black card.
On the base of the card I stamped more cogs, top and bottom.
I then stamped some cities using Alphabest stamp set.
The globe was stamped, coloured and cut and 3d'd
onto the centre of my card.
I finished with a sentiment from Easter Bunny stamp set.

It's an absolute scorcher out there!!
Hope you are all enjoying the weather.
Make hay while the sun shines for sure, could be snowing next week!!

Funfold Card


We got back from our trip yesterday afternoon.
Totally knackered as the journey takes 4 hours in the car.
But it was well worth it, we had a lovely time.
Weather was brilliant, hotel was perfect and we got lots of
walks in the sunshine. Bit of sight seeing around
Westport House and gardens.

This card was made for my daughter-in-law's birthday today.
Rachel loves all things green and has a great garden
with lots of vegetables and flowers growing right next door!!


There is a tutorial for this fold, free, when you sign up for my newsletter.
Link in top bar.
As you can see it folds perfectly flat for posting.


I stamped the flowers back and front and doubled them up
so the flower pots would look nice from the back too.

Another lovely day out there but unfortunately I have
a lot of orders to get sorted before I can enjoy the garden.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

anything nautical!

My tag today is a digital one as I'm away for a few days.

Timeless arrangements


This card was made for a video tutorial for my VIP group.
It is quick and easy to make and I love the boho blue
and night of navy colours together.
The night of navy rectangles have been dry embossed.

Beep beep!


It's the second week of Valerie's challenge
TRAVEL over at

I used the Driving By stamp set again,
this time using the car stamp.
I stamp a mirror image to get them going in two
directions. I also used the left over pieces from
my card on Friday to create the background.
The cars have been coloured using my blends.
The sentiments are all hand written 🙈.
As I keep my tags as dividers for my diary/journal
I decided to add an extra bit of width to this tag
so I could punch holes to add to my book.
I finished with a piece of stapled ribbon.

Hope you get time to play along!
