**All of the products used in this project i have bought with my own money.


I often get lots messages asking where something i have used in a video or in one of my projects is from so i am in the process of building an Amazon Storefront so everyone can find everything nice and easy.



I have been doing some prep for my class so i thought i would show you what we are up-to


The sheet is one of my Fancy Fussy cut Sheets - the one i am using is sheet no2


You can find it here



I am building up a collection for these, you can find the whole category here


The are great for cardmaking, papercrafting, ATC's, Junk journals, glass and Bottle art, mixed media crafts, mdf craft projects, decoupage, collage and more..


The sheet was printed onto 160gsm super smooth navigator paper


I have used my Minc Machine and Rose Gold Heidi Swapp Foil to add some foiled elements to the sheets - if you would like to take a look at the Minc Products in my Amazon store you can find them here


To say I love stickles is a bit of an understatement - between Ranger Stickles and Liquid pearls i have a little bit of an obsession and i use them on most of my cards. If you would like to take a look at the Stickles you can find them here and ranger liquid pearls here



This is the little box i up-cycled it was a Seriously Strong Cheese Squares box that i covered in the kraft paper bag that my parcel came in yesterday.


After glueing it to the box with my crafters companion tape pen and Tacky glue i ran a copper mini ink pad round the outside to add a distressed look


I snipped out the elements of the sheet with my snips


Then started to adorn my little box with all of these pretty embellishments





If you like the flowers, leaves ribbons, stamens and general embellishments i used you can find most if them here:


Flowers, leaves and stamens


Ribbons, twine, petals and special gems


I used my Crafters Companion Tape Pen, my Glue gun and my tacky glue you can find the glues and adhesives section here


I hope you have liked this little project, if you are not in the UK i am trying my hardest to create as many international stores as possible but this is going to take some time.. i have some built so far but it is a working progress

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.
