Supplies List:


Handmade with today's new Geisha Girls Triptych Cardmaking Topper Sheet PDF Digital Download.

You can find it on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/RDHnj


I printed this onto my favourite printing paper for papers and toppers - it is 160gsm and super smooth. I love the results it gives and i love the convenience of getting it delivered to my door. You can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/4dKt1Zo


I embossed some plain blue printed paper i had from another kit

with this embossing folder - https://amzn.to/4dNq36C it is one of my most favourite embossing folders from Spellbinders.


I used the de-bossed side (the opposite side to the embossed) and i rubbed gently over the de-bossed areas with a white ink pad - you can find that on amazon here: https://amzn.to/3AcDWgF


The mirror card i used for the matting and layering is from a lovely bundle i get from amazon. It has a lovely selection of colours in it although the same company do an all silver or all gold set. You can find the mixed one here: https://amzn.to/3UaMHP6


The gold flourish die is a really old one!! It is at least 14 years old and is from Spellbinders.


The dazzler gems are from Hobby Lobby in the US


I used one of my favourite stickles to add a touch of glittery sparkle to the kimono, you can find it here on amazon - https://amzn.to/3Yoim29 this is such a lovely pastel colour and works with everything!!


I used the gold one for some of the flower centres - The gold one - https://amzn.to/4epNgfV


I made some tiny flowers using my little cheapie kiddies paper punch - https://amzn.to/4dK6EEp and punched out some flowers onto some lilac paper. i shaped them with a ball tool and added a drop of nuvo drops to the centre of the flower - https://amzn.to/4e4HHD7




Here are some close- ups so you can see what i did with the stickles

and Nuvo drops. I love using Nuvo drops and Ranger liquid pearls to create dots for flowers

and to add texture to a design. The liquid pearls are getting hard to get at the moment but Tonic have

a fabulous collection of colours if you would like to see all of the Nuvo drops you can find them on the Tonic Studios shop on amazon here - https://amzn.to/408F5kc

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!

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.

I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding. Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
