cat lovers

A new peel off from Little Claire is ideal for cat lovers and can be adapted to lots of colour schemes.

Rock n roll

Some great cards using a new design from Hunkydory. Ideal for men over a certain age.

Chloe heart die

Chloe is one of my favourite stamp designers and she has now brought out some lovely dies. This one is ideal for anniversaries or weddings but could also be used for a special birthday.

Chantilly Bow

Yet another Tattered Lace die used on this card. The Chantilly bow can be used for loads of occasions. White on silver is classic and modern but this card could be adapted to any favourite colours

Butterfly dies

The first 2 cards use the Tonic mazarine blue butterfly die and the 3rd card has been made with a Chloe die. They have been embossed with a white embossing powder and these styles can be adapted for lots of occasions.

Tattered lace cross

I have used the Tattered Lace cross die for this classic white sympathy card but it would also be a lovely topper for an Easter, Christening or First Communion card

Zandra's cards

Sandra Wright is the artist and designer of these fabulous images. They are a little bit funky and suit adults and children alike.

Cocktails

The new Tattered Lace Cocktail glass die makes an excellent topper for many different cards. Would suit a man's card, an anniversary, 21st etc and colours could be varied to suit the occasion.

Snow cards

Love, love this stamp by Woodware. It can be decoupaged to add interest and Spellbinder snowflake die cuts add a finishing touch.

Lili of the valley stamps

How do you choose a Lili of the Valley stamp with so many designs to choose from? These are a couple of this year's favourites.

Tattered lace bell die

Tattered lace dies also cut beautifully and the bell die is a fabulous topper for xmas cards. It can be glued directly to the card, backed with a contrasting colour or stuck on to double sided adhesive so the cut out area can be gilded or glittered.

Memory box xmas dies

I love using Memory Box dies - they always give a clean cut in my Grand Calibur and make beautiful features on xmas cards.
