I am often asked how I achieve the “distressed” look to paper edges on my scrapbook layouts and cards… something I do quite a bit, especially on Vintage style things, (layouts and cards).
So I thought it would be a good idea to make a video for you, showing exactly how I crumple, fold and rip [...]
Here is the latest card I made using the free downloable/printable vintage style pictures from Heidi.
It’s a quick Birthday Card and was simply made using the card base, a piece of Laura Ashley paper (crumpled at the edges), a piece of lace ribbon tied in the middle with sheer ribbon and a little metal fancy [...]
I made this card as a Thank You Card for a lady that doesn’t really do lacy and fru-fru! Tried to keep it simple with the image (lovely soft mood to the picture don’t you think?) doing most of the work.
I have found making cards “around” a photographic image much easier than creating something from [...]
As promised here is the set of four more traditional Christmas cards. They are the usual red and green style.
Again I’ve used flocked paper from Laura Ashley (Dovecraft sell the range) ton the two outer cards, the background paper on the third from left is Basic Grey “Boxer” 6×6 pad, hence the need for a [...]

I’ve matted a couple of times using silver card, which actually made the card fairly heavy.. for a [...]
The second of the cards I made at my crop last Saturday! I’ve used the same image as I did for a card a little while back which again, is free from Shabby Chic Papirskatter.
K&Co background paper and I did actually use a stamp on this one… ! Another one in the next post
Here is the first of some Christmas cards I have made this year… more coming up! I tend to be a scrapbooking cardmaker, and therefore keep my cards fairly simple. I have recently “got into” the vintage style!
The image was a free download from Shabby Chic Papirskatter. K&Co background paper with a little bit of [...]
I made a card and a half at my crop today! I thought I would make some vintage style cards with some pictures I have downloaded from the internet and here is the result of the card I actually finished. This wasn’t because it took me a long time to make, but after the demo [...]
