I was sorry to see that my previous collection of Toppers for some reason did not all get shown on the New Sheets section on the CUP site - only one of the four was actually shown. If you missed them, please check over to the site.

New Vintage Toppers

Here's my latest selection of Toppers, this time all with a vintage theme, the first series of four all showing fantastic hats! I love hats, and I love to see women wearing fabulous creations - I can't wear hats - I'm not very tall, and my OH always says I look like a mushroom !!!!

Hope you like these new toppers. They should appear on the CUP site shortly if you'd like to buy them to create your own individual cards.

Thank you for stopping by....... :)

More Venetian Masks

The first set of these toppers has been very well received, so I've done this second batch, which I hope will be liked just as much.

Set number 7 is meant to present a bit of a challenge to all of you spectacular card makers out there. The layers have not been sized to be layed on top of each other; I should like to see what else you can dream up with them - maybe a stepper, or a waterefall, something a bit different?

The sheets should all be available on the site shortly, so if you like them, please click along to the site.

Dramatic Venice ~ New Toppers

More incredible new graphics by Moonbeam 1212 ~ I was blown away when I saw them just yesterday ~ and I am so in love with Venice, its history, its architecture, Carnivale, I just couldn't wait to work with them.

I've gone back to my roots a little and designed four new sheets of Toppers ~ these were what I started out doing when I first started designing, hopefully these are a bit better quality than my earlier attempts.

The sheets should be available on the CUP site shortly; if you like them, please click on the banner above where you will be able to purchase them for the price of just 80p, and of course you can print them off as many times as you like, and make as many different versions of cards as you wish.

Happy Cardmaking !

cup346661_815 ~ Teatime Gatefold Kit


This kit was created using fabulous graphics from Moonbeam 1212. The whole idea and layout came to me in a flash - but it took a good while longer than that to complete the actual kit. The finished version looks great, if you click over to the CUP site you can see a finished card made by the fabulous Margaret McCartney.

It may look more complicated than it is, but the instructions are all included, and I reckon it can be done by new and experienced cardmakers alike.

If you like the look of this, please click over to CUP where you can purchase your own copy of the kit.

cup354250~Berrylicious Gatefold Kit

I've spent quite a while preparing some new kits - I don't know whether its just me, but these seem to take AGES to prepare...hence I don't do too many. This one features that gorgeous little Nitwits mouse - he pops up all over the place, but that's hardly surprising as he's so so cute!

The finished card is gate fold style with step by step decoupage added to the top and to the front flaps - but don't let that put you off - full instructions are included, and as long as you can handle a pair of scissors and some sticky, you'll be fine, so its suitable for all abilities.

The kit will be available on the CUP site shortly; they do cost a bit more at £2.00, but you end up with something quite individual, that you won't find in the shops.

cup354252_815 ~Vintage Birthday Teal & Gold


I've finally got round to getting some new designs completed. I go through phases where I keep starting new pieces, and leave them half-finished - exactly as I used to do with all my cross stitching. So I decided to have a go at clearing out the 'pending' tray so to speak.

If you love vintage themes as much as I do, please click along to the site where you will see this design appear shortly.

cup343340_815 ~ Blue Christmas Envelope


Here's the fourth of a new series I've worked on for Christmas, cards shaped like a card in an envelope. I think they look cute, with gorgeous traditional colours and decorations. This one should be validated soon on the CUP site; if you like it, please click the banner above to take you there direct.


If you have a printer that takes card, the design is laid out so that you can print direct onto the card, and then add the decoupage. You can of course print the card off as many times as you wish - and please look out for the other three in the series.
