Some time ago I created three canvas panels with the look of battered leather or distressed wood (I’m not sure what I set out to do to be honest, but they turned out quite well).
In either case they were not supposed to end up sitting on the floor in a corner gathering dust so I decided to pick them up, dust them off, apply some finishing touches and get them on the wall where they belong!Read More »
During a recent appearance on Create and Craft TV I demonstrated a wax paper resist technique that appeared to inspire a lot of people.
I promised that I would write a quick blog post on the process and give some ideas for variation of this technique – so here it is!
In this post I will give you a quick overview of tools and materials I used, the basic technique and then share with you the variations that I tried.Read More »
Just before the Spellbinders Die D-Lites range was launched on Create and Craft TV I was asked if I would make up a few finished projects to serve as ideas of how to use them. I leapt at the chance!
Although the projects often appear on shows that feature these dies I thought that I would create this gallery to have them as a permanent reference to look at (and comment on if you wish).Read More »
I am very excited about tonight’s Inkadinkado Stamping Gear Pick of the Day launch on Ideal World TV at 9pm tonight. I will again be demonstrating the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear system over 10 shows and have new sets of Inkadinkado stamps to show you.
I recently took you from layout to finished card using the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear system. As I looked over the process, and thinking ahead to the next series of shows on Create and Craft TV, I thought to myself – am I an Inkadinkadoodler or an Inkadinkadesigner?!
I’ve occasionally muted ideas of how to use the Cricut electronic cutting machines for cutting apertures for techniques such as Iris Folding so this post is dedicated to that concept.Read More »
When stamping a single image you generally have enough time to work with slow drying inks and heat embossing powders, but creating repeat designs can sometimes be difficult. As a result of the speed at which you can create complex repeat patterns with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear system you can still us this fantastic technique.Read More »
Here is a quick post about a floral card that I made using the Cricut Mini and the Flower Shoppe collection.Read More »
I am really getting into digi-stamps lately and have been searching for more complex designs to have a go at. When I came across a Mushroom House Digi Stamp from an Australian company called Make It Crafty I thought that I would give it a go.

There are various ways of blending photos into other materials in Serif Craft Artist. This post will show you what they are and how to do them.
I often sketch or block out layout ideas to help me overcome those missing mojo moments. It’s been over a week since I was able to get into my craft room so today when I got the chance to play, rather than waste precious time, I thought I’d reach for one of those ice-breakers and see what I could create.
It’s not something that everyone would have thought of making however when a couple of friends were recently successful in getting funding in order to launch a Zombie themed venture I felt it only right that I sent them something to say congratulations!
During the recent shows on Create and Craft TV I received a number of questions asking about the masking techniques that I highlighted during the demonstrations so I thought that I would put together a step by step overview of how to do this technique.
With the dust just about settled I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to each and every person that placed an order during the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear shows.  I sincerely hope that you get as much fun from it as I did.  I plan to create some more blog posts in the coming weeks with more ideas on how to use the system but for now, here’s a gallery featuring some of the inspirational finished projects that were sent over from the incredibly talented Inkadinkado team.Read More »
So it’s been a busy first show launching the Stamping Gear System from Inkadinkadoo and we have covered a range of techniques on air. In the first show I highlighted some basic techniques for using with this system so I thought that I would create a quick post to show you them again in case you missed them.
