Artist Trading Card Daily – 14
I’m feeling the love from you all lately for this series of Artist Trading Card Daily posts so I thought that I would create something to celebrate that.
Artist Trading Card Daily – 12
Today’s Artist Trading Card daily creation uses up some off-cuts from yesterday’s project and is a very simple affair.
Artist Trading Card Daily – 11
After yesterday’s grey monotone creation I really wanted to bring a little colour back into this series of mini makes.

Stamp It Sunday – Thinking Of You…
It certainly feels like yonks since I last wrote a blog post so I just wanted to do a little post to let you know that I am still around and thinking of you :)
Stamp It Sunday – A Christmas Card Creation
Yesterday I said that I would show you how I created the Christmas Card that featured the SVG cutting file background that I created – so here is that run-through as promised :)
Monday Mash Up – Fifty Shades Of Blue And A Rabbit
First of all, let me just explain the title – it has nothing to do with THOSE BOOKS or THAT THING, but now that I have your attention, you might like to read about some rubber stamping that I have been doing this week?
After you’ve cooled down.

Monday Mash Up – Chocolate Gift Box Decorations
On Saturday I shared a cutting file for a chocolate gift box for use with the Brother Scan N Cut. This post continues on from there and features some of the chocolate “pockets” that I decorated.
Scan It Saturday – Half Cut Technique With The Brother Scan N Cut
For sometime now we have all known how to do the half cut technique with our manual die cutting machines and I have demonstrated one way of scanning in a ready made design and converting for use with the Brother Scan N Cut however I wanted to have a little play to see if this could be achieved with the Brother Scan N Cut Canvas as I hadn’t really seen a way to do it before.
The good news is, that it IS possible.
The even better news is that it appears to have opened up other possibilities – read on to find out more!
Monday Mash Up – Everybody Loves A Fairy
This week I have been having a little colouring in session with my Spectrum Noir pens.
I didn’t start this project with anyone in mind so I chose a fairy for the design as it’s one of those universal images that seems to sit well with most people – everybody loves a fairy, right?
Monday Mash Up – Floral Gift Box
Welcome back to another Monday Mash Up!
This week I have been toying with using old templates again … this time I have been taking a two dimensional template and turning it into a three dimensional gift box.
Scan It Saturday – Creating Decorative Sentiment Plaques From Pre-Installed Designs With The Brother Scan N Cut
It’s not often that I have the time to put together such a comprehensive blog post so I certainly took advantage and armed myself the camera (with fresh battery and empty memory card), notepad and pencil and set myself up in front of the Brother Scan N Cut.
During shows on Create and Craft I have previously demonstrated how to make decorative sentiment plaque on the Brother Scan N Cut machine using only two pre-installed shapes so I thought that I would document that technique for future reference.
This (all 60+ pictures) together with a whole load of words, is the result of a well spent morning … Enjoy!
