Happy Monday everyone!!
Today I used my new Waffle Flower Postage Collage Frames die set that arrived on Friday! I don’t have any of the postage collage products but I love the variety in this die set – endless possibilities! Today I used various little Spellbinders flower dies but I have many more ideas for them!

Happy Sunday everyone!!
I find it quite a challenge to create CAS cards with Pinkfresh Studio products, but here is what I came up with today!
That beautiful branch is from the Sakura product suite. I’ve actually already used the stamp from this suite a few times, but this is the first time using the washi. My new product for today is actually a couple of dies from the Elegant Circles die set that arrived on Friday. I even used some of my Bazzill Bling cardstock – it matches the green of the leaves so perfectly!
To complete my card, I added part of a sentiment from the Tiny Words set I got with a Create & Connect event kit.

Happy Saturday everyone!!
After spending the morning clearing up yesterday’s craftermath, I pulled out some Simply Graphic dies for today’s card.
I wanted to use a new branch set that arrived on Monday and remembered the fabulous vase set that I haven’t used enough! I changed the colours a few times and added a Paper Rose Studio branch die into the mix. I was so happy to use my Speckled Egg distress ink again – it’s one of my favourited distress colours but I feel I’ve neglected it for the past few monnths!

Happy Friyay! Well, it is the last few minutes of Friyay here at least!
I had a lot of fun colouring the images from Pinkfresh Studio’s Folk Garden 2 cling stamp suite, but the actual design itself took me most of the evening – nothing seemed to work! I kept adding and removing elements and second guessing myself. I got there in the end I suppose!
I adhered the elements to a panel that I’d embossed with the Dotted Scallops coverplate, added an old Poppystamps bow and a Pinkfresh sentiment to complete my card.

Hello everyone!!
This year I plan to play along with Jenn Shurkus’s Get Cracking on Christmas on the third Thursday of each month. It feels a bit too soon to be the third Thursday of January already doesn’t it? But here we are! My first Christmas card of 2026!
I love Christmas tree dies although I do try to be mindful and take a breath before grabbing any new tree as soon as it’s released! But I HAD to have The Stamp Market’s Layered Tree die set. I used it a few times last year but I really wanted to create my version of a beautiful card that The Stamp Market shared as inspiration on their site. I picked up the Rounded Window Delight coverplate die in a Black Friday sale but didn’t get round to using it in December – today was my chance!
I tested a few tree designs and ended up using three layers from the smaller tree – The Stamp Market didn’t use the smallest layer in her design and I followed suit.
My twist on the inspiration (apart from the colours of course) is the background – I adhered the windows coverplate and trees to a panel that I cut with the Waffle Flower Crafts Sparkles Panel die.
No sentiment on this because I couldn’t bear the idea of covering up anything on the card!!

Hi everyone!!
Last year, I started seeing this amazing square embossing folder on Instagram. After doing some digging, I discovered that it only seemed to be available as part of the Altenew Chocolate Flowers kit…. which was out of stock everywhere. But good things come to those who wait… or wait and persevere! I managed to grab this as soon as Seven Hills got it back in stock and used a voucher to pay for most of it. It’s a bit crazy to buy an entire kit mainly for the embossing folder isn’t it?
After all that, it just sat in my new box! I got it in June, people! I’m quite ashamed of myself! Anyway, today was the day to rid myself of that shame and actually use the kit! And I used the whole thing, not just the folder!
I don’t buy many Altenew products nowadays (I think I overdid things back when layering stamps were all the rage!) so I was keen to try their stencil/die combo to compare with Pinkfresh. It wasn’t quite as easy as Pinkfresh for me and I didn’t line the die up properly… you can see a few white lines on my image, but I don’t think they’re too obvious? Next time I think I’ll die cut first because the die doesn’t add any additional etching onto the images.
I arranged the die cuts in a wreath on the embossed background and added a few die cut gold accents and a Poppystamps sentiment to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!
