Old butterflies are new again – the old-style butterfly punch is very similar to the new butterfly thinlits! Take a look here.
Hello with a lattice die
Still no “original” piccies to share, so here’s (hopefully) the last swap for a few days to share with you. This card uses the Bigz Lattice Die which is exclusive to Stampin’ Up! I have seen it used quite a bit on Pinterest lately, especially to make a pattern for a window card with the […]
Travel Post Set
This card was a swap from the training session in May. It does use one of the retired colours () but this would be easily swapped out with a current colour such as Crushed Curry which would give a slightly different, brighter feel but would still look great I think. The Mustard does “tone down” […]

This birthday card was for my Mother-in-Law’s birthday. I kept it very simple, and pretty flat as it had to go through the post and a layered card would cost more to send, and has a higher risk of getting damaged in transit. It was made back in February, as her birthday is St David’s […]
Butterfly Thank You
This card is a very simple yet elegant design. I received it as a swap at a recent Stampin’ Up! event, and I really like it. It makes use of the new Elegant Butterfly punch, which is much more intricate and detailed than the old . This card also uses the new Gold cardstock, which […]
