About Me!

Happily married for 40 years and have two grown up 'kids'. I enjoy a good cup of coffee, a drop of Pinot Gris and exploring Tassie (and beyond) in our Motorhome. Decided to stop living at work and start working at living; left the life of a School Principal behind in 2017 after 37 years in Education. My favourite pastimes are designing 3D, interactive card folds and knitting. I'm on the Design Team for Paper Rose Studio and currently an Independent Advisor for Creative Memories.

Today I’m sharing my first Paper Rose Studio Des Today I’m sharing my first Paper Rose Studio Design Team Project for April. It features the absolutely gorgeous products from the Flower Shoppe Basics Collection. 

I’ve wanted to design a 3D Flower Cart Card for a very long time and these products provided me with a good reason to finally achieve that goal. 

I decided to make a card protector (with plenty of room on the back to write a greeting) which was simply embellished with some paper from the Flower Shoppe Basics 12×12 pack (new) and some more of the Flower Shoppe/Tags & Tickets Embossed Die-Cuts. It ended up having a dual purpose as it created a lovely back drop for the Flower Cart Card.

It’s a Tent Card that has a peek through window and features the beautiful Cozy Fall Collection of 6×6 papers and embossed die-cuts as well as the Victorian Arched Window Metal Cutting Die (returning soon). 

You can peek through the window to view the cosy living room scene with the comfy chair and fireplace, along with the beautiful vase of flowers and basket of yarn. My mum loves to get comfy on her lounge chair and knit a variety of projects throughout the cooler months of the year so I decided it would be fitting to make this into her Mother’s Day Card.

The very cute Easter Village Embossed Die-Cuts made it super easy to embellish each one and the ‘tags’ were die-cut from the beautiful gingham papers from the 6×6 pack of Easter Village Basics.

I’m excited to share a cute Baby Crib Card that I’m excited to share a cute Baby Crib Card that I made to welcome my great nephew, Alistair to the world! 

The card measures 6×6″ and I chose to pop a 3D crib on the inside. I’ve made a few different versions of these pop-out cribs over the years … always thinking of new ways to make them and add them to a card base. 

I spotted these gorgeous products at my local paper crafting store, Ashcraft and Gifts a few months ago and purchased them with the intention of making a card for my cute, great nephew – Studio 73 – Whimsical Woodland DieCutz and a pack of Whimsical Woodland Card Inspiration & Miniatures Inclusions (papers and coordinating element sheets). 

I’ve held off sharing this baby card as I wanted to submit it as my project for the Guest Designer spot at the latest Creative Creases Challenge. It’s always a pleasure to join in with their ‘Anything Goes with a Fun Fold’ Challenge and discover lots of card fold ideas from the Design Team and participants.

Today I’m sharing a Butterfly Carousel Box Card Today I’m sharing a Butterfly Carousel Box Card made with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Hybrid Embossing Folder from Stampin’ Up! ®. 

With this ‘version’, I’ve added the 3D butterflies to the front of a card base with an embossed front panel. The individual butterflies (front and back) have also been embossed with the Hybrid Embossing Folder from the Bokeh Suite Collection. The butterfly at the back was glued onto the card base so an extra embossed layer and intricate die-cut butterfly were not added to that one. 

Die-cut ‘leaves’ from the Painted Lavender Dies, along with a small die-cut butterfly were attached to the box card section. 

The colours were chosen to fit in with the latest challenge at Colour INKspiration – 182. I haven’t played along since I left the Design Team almost a year ago and was feeling a little nostalgic. 

This ‘pop-up’ butterfly feature could have gone on the inside of the card but I wanted to see how it would look on a card front. Fortunately, it sits well and doesn’t topple over and there’s plenty of room inside to write a message to the recipient. 

This card was also made for the latest Funky Folds Blog Hop.

I recently made a Zig-Zag Card for my latest Desig I recently made a Zig-Zag Card for my latest Design Team Project for Paper Rose Studio. For a practice run I actually made this one featuring products from the Farmhouse Friends Collection first. 

I die-cut scenes from the Farmhouse Friends Backgrounds 6×6 paper with the largest Lots of Eggs Metal Cutting Die and added the cute little embossed die-cut bunnies and eggs along both sides of the zig-zag extension. 

I’ve made quite a few projects with these gorgeous background papers. The scenery takes me back to the English countryside where we holidayed for 2 months last year. 

Just thought I’d share the design process with you. I’m thinking that I’d like to make another card with the extension zig-zag cut on a diagonal as I love the way this one turned out too.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a project wi It’s been a while since I’ve made a project with Stampin’ Up! ® products … I couldn’t resist the beautiful Bokeh Suite Collection and finally ‘caved’ … after all it has gorgeous paper and beautiful butterfly dies; two of my favourite things. 

Having recently designed a Butterfly Carousel Card, I thought it would be fun to create a ‘Beautiful Butterflies’ version of this design. I absolutely love the shape of the large, intricate butterfly die in the suite and was super pleased with the end result. 

For some extra dimension I added some lovely, bright, Granny Apple Green leaves made with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch. 

You can find the tutorial for this unique card fold in my Tutorial Shop - link to website in bio. I’m keen to explore some other fun card folds with this collection.

Hello paper lovers! I’m excited to share with yo Hello paper lovers! I’m excited to share with you a fun-fold card featuring the absolutely gorgeous Easter Village Collection of papers and embossed die-cuts from Paper Rose Studio (affiliate link in bio). 

The bunnies along with the other embossed die-cuts are super cute, the florals are so pretty and I love how the Lots of Eggs die-cuts from the gingham prints in the collection nest together when the card is closed. 

No suitable sentiment? … not a problem when you can make your own greeting with the Mini Alphabet & Numbers Metal Cutting Die! 

Working out the card dimensions was really easy because I used the Pierced Rectangles Metal Cutting Dies for the card base and zig-zag extension piece. 

I had so much fun designing this Zig-Zag Card for my latest Design Team Project for Paper Rose Studio. You can download my FREE CARD TUTORIAL which contains all the measurements, products list, detailed step by step instructions and photos so you can make one too – See blog post - https://addinktivedesigns.com/2025/02/easter-village-zig-zag-card/
