Monochrome stamping technique – It is a creative way of producing an image using one ink colour in at least a dozen varying shades. In my card making, I combine several stamp sets and at least a dozen colours to achieve the monochromatic effect that I want. Monochrome stamping is my favourite technique because it […]

Today we’re using the To The Moon stamp set to make a card. I wanted to make a reusable card for this project. Every piece that goes in this card can be taken apart and re-purposed. When you watch the video tutorial you will notice that I didn’t use any adhesive. It’s a great technique […]
The Plentiful Plants stamp set will delight any plant lover. Today we’re taking inspiration from a favourite pastime – growing plants.
