Welcome back and I am finally getting myself sorted at home with my little craft area and I am now getting getting my crafting mojo back. I have even done a video on how I have made this pretty card complete with flowers and dressing the card!
I love how using the Dress My Craft Soft Floral Oriental paper makes soft beautiful flowers and I couldn’t resist making some Wild Roses and Wild Asters from Heartfelt Creations sitting on the gorgeous Annabelle’s Trousseau Layering Frame dies.

Welcome back. Today I am sharing a card for everyone out there that has been impacted by Covid19. In New Zealand we have finally started coming out of lockdown to a very different world and it is still very scary out there despite very low numbers of new cases in NZ. I have spent the time at home working on my colouring skills and different flowers using different techniques.
I have been looking for this LR026 decorative die from Marianne Designs for some time and was thrilled when I was able to get it from E-Bay. I know that I am going to get a lot of use with it as it is the perfect backdrop for lovely flowers. I was inspired by Uma Didwania with her Heartfelt Creations.Wild Roses created using Dress My Craft Soft Oriental Paper.

Welcome back to a very different Mother’s Day celebration today. I am at home with my husband and daughter having a very quiet day and will be hopefully catching up with my son when our restrictions are released in the next week or so.
I have a special card to cheer all those celebrating Mother’s Day around the world. I have used Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose and Oakberry Lane flowers and leaves with the new Elegant Oval Frame dies. I have had limited craft supplies at home and so have used the Calla Lily papers with these flowers.
I apologise for the quality of the photos – the lighting is not great at home.
I hope that you are safe and well wherever you are in the world. Kia Kaha – stay strong

Welcome back and today I am sharing a card made using some gorgeous dies and flowers from Heartfelt Creations.
I have mixed the new Rounded Lattice Dies from the Black Friday 2019 release with the Swirly Border and Accents die for a lovely wedding card or for any celebration. I have added a Flowering Dogwood with some Oakberry Lane Blossoms to finish this card.
I hope that I have inspired you to use your dies more creatively.
Welcome back and today I want to share a quick and easy card made with a Spellbinders Cut & Emboss folder – Regal Swirl. It helped that I had some ready made flowers ready to go and I used a sentiment die to finish off the card.
Welcome back and today I want to share a card featuring the gorgeous Eyelet Lace die from Heartfelt Creations. This is a very pretty and delicate card suitable for birthdays and weddings and the vellum Oakberry Lanes are the perfect touch to finish the card.
I have die cut four decorative dies and adhere two dies together for more strength. I have also shaped the vellum flowers in the Oakberry Lane Blossoms mold and they came out well.
I hope that you get some inspiration to try this for yourself.
