Waves of Blue

The Quite Curvy Bundle is a fun way to create interesting cards that can also be quick and easy. The dies cut a wonderful rolling wave like shape and this one has little dots to add background colour and interest.

Nature's Thoughts

Nature’s Thoughts is a die set in the annual catalogue that coordinates with the Positive Thoughts stamp set. Today I used only the dies, as I wanted to make a card with very little stamping - just for something different!

Cleaning Up and Creating

Today I spent some time finishing some Christmas cards I had started a while ago, and then it was clear I needed to do some cleaning up! I decided to take the bits and pieces I had been collecting and make them into tags.
