During my Sunday night team challenge, we decided to focus on the theme of ‘Creatures’; think Donkeys, Turtles, Birds, Sharks etc etc. I decided to crack open a set that I purchased in a promotion before Christmas but had yet to ink up. There are the cutest little bird stamps in the set. So I made a Quite Curvy Spring Wreath. I coupled this set with the gorgeous Hydrangea… Read More »
For my Facebook Live this week, I wanted to revisit the You Are Amazing card kit. The first time I showed everyone how to make the cards exactly as the instructions suggested. But what if you don’t like those designs or you don’t like following instructions?! You can make anything you like with the elements provided. Today, I wanted to show you just a few You Are Amazing alternative card… Read More »
This morning on my weekly Facebook Live, I decided to make a Valentine’s card. Problem was, I didn’t have any of this year’s fabulous Valentines products. This challenged me to look at my existing products with new eyes. Did I have something that would work in a Valentine’s setting…. so I decided that the Cactus in the Flowering Cactus medley worked well as a heart shape – so here is… Read More »
I shared this Flowering Cactus card today on my weekly Facebook Live and I can’t wait to work more with this product medley. It will be available on January 5th when our brand new mimi catalogue launches. The colours work so well together, with hues of Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. And with cactus plants, you just have to have a vibrant sky like I’ve created… Read More »
I have to admit, I was stumped for a project to share on my Facebook Live this week. I knew everyone was probably done with Christmas and was searching for inspiration with bright, fresh and fun products. So was I, but I had to admit my head was still a little stuck in Christmas. Luckily, I had a virtual crafting session with my team the night before, and my teamie,… Read More »
I made a gorgeous (if I say so myself) box yesterday to house a set of cards all using the Feels Like Frost DSP. It appeared on the Retiring List at 50% off – not sure if it’s still there. If it is, GET IT!! It’s so beautiful, but if not you can easily swap out the DSP and the cardstock colours to suit whatever you have to hand. You… Read More »
If you follow my FB page, you will have seen my FB Live where I showed this cute little Gift Card Holder tutorial. (Did you catch last week’s? )If not, don’t worry, I have a replay of the video to follow. This is so easy to make and you can make 2 out of and A4 sheet of cardstock with only limited extras needed to decorate. Aren’t they cute? If… Read More »
I had a great class on Saturday where we got together online to make up the Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin kit. It is such a great kit – the suggested layouts are superb – I wasn’t even tempted to go ‘off piste’ when making the cards themselves. However, I’ve had a lot of fun with the stamp set since I’ve completed the kit and used it on my… Read More »
It’s no secret that Gnome for the Holidays is one of my favourite sets from the Christmas catalogue. I do love a gnome and picked up some adorable little guys on my trip to Krakow last year – remember when we could travel anywhere we wanted?! – Anyway as soon as I saw Gnome for the Holidays, I knew I wanted to do a class with them. One of my… Read More »
Today I have two fabulous cards to share with you using the Trimming the Town bundle and paeticularly the Trimming the Town DSP. I shared these cards on my Facebook live over on my StampinColour with Eimear Facebook page. So easy to create as I hope the Live demonstrates. My only hurdle was altering the church which I cut from the DSP. You can watch the LIVE again here My… Read More »
