Well here we are halfway through April already, which also means it's time for another Stamping Symphony Team Instahop. This month we are saying goodbye to our favourite retiring products, which you'll find on the "last chance" list in the online store. One of my favourite die sets ever--the gorgeous Artistic Dies--are not only retiring this year, but they are on sale for 50% off! I used them in this card as a celebration of how beautiful they are:
It's time for another Creation Station Blog Hop and this month we're sharing projects with one of my favourite techniques--heat embossing. The magic of this melting powder was the "wow" that turned me onto card making when I first started out almost 20 years ago. I just had to know how that was done! And it continues to be a go-to for me now. There are a lot of different outcomes you can achieve with heat embossing, but one of my favourites these days is white embossing with shading from Blends markers.
I love a monochromatic card, a simple colour palette with papers that just speak for themselves can make crafting so much easier! I had to use my favourite in colour, Pebbled Path, so I went looking through my stash for papers to match and easily landed on the Nature's Sweetness DSP. Add in a fun fold, and my project for this month's Stampin' Friends blog hop almost made itself!
Today's Stamping Symphony InstaHop is going to be a really great one, as we share our favourite techniques. My mind immediately went to watercolouring, and I created this soft and pretty sympathy card:

Well here we are in March already, with Easter just a few weeks away! This month's Creation Station Design Team hop theme--Sweet Delights & Sugared Dreams-- was the perfect excuse to get started on some Easter treat boxes.
How is it already time for the Stampin' Friends February blog hop?! The year is already slipping away from me. Luckily our "fun fold and a 3D project" theme is something I couldn't wait to tackle! So for you this month I have this amazing Box Seat Fold Card (with a slight variation), and a cute matching treat holder:
Sale-a-bration is well underway and I am definitely enjoying my freebies! One of my favourites is the Trusty Toolbox DSP....I may have several packages of it! ;) It is perfect for fun masculine projects, and I decided to make this 3D tool box treat holder for my husband for Valentine's Day:
