Welcome to this month’s Let’s Get Hopping Blog Hop where we are inspired by colours or patterns in our Home Decor/Clothing/Life. Now if you know me, you would know I love a Stripe! Whilst my Team is affectionately known as the Aces and Diamonds, we go by the White Stripes when on tour. You only have to take a look at these photos to see why! Spoiler alert – I… Read More »

I’ve managed to get my ducks in a row and participate in this month’s Lets Get Hopping Blog Hop with our theme of One for the Boys. It’s so good to be back and to showcase the first suite I bought from the Annual Catalogue for my masculine card today. World of Good is a fabulous suite and still a firm favourite of mine! You may have arrived from Nina… Read More »
Welcome to May’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme this month is Whatever the Weather. We have been blessed with some beautiful weather which has given us one less thing to complain about! In the UK and Ireland, there is one thing we love to moan about and that is usually our miserable weather. Thankfully, considering everything else that the Gods have thrown at us these past few months,… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Let’ Get Hopping Blog hop where we are sharing our ‘Happy Colour’. I have to admit my all-time favourite Stampin’ Up Colour may not be perceived as a ‘happy’ colour as such but I just love Smoky Slate. It makes its way into at least 80% of the cards I create and is my all-time favourite neutral! It goes so well with Subtles, Regals and Brights… Read More »
This month we have the challenge of creating a One Layer Card. If you know me, you will know that I would find this challenge one of the most difficult. I don’t think my cards are overly fussy but to not use layers or dimensionals is so out of my comfort zone, but I hope nonetheless that you will warm to my Wonderfully Wicked One Layer halloween card! Without… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Lets Get Hopping Blog Hop where we are case’ing the catalogue. Case’ing is a term which means Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit – basically you take an idea and copy it exactly, or copy the idea with your own supplies or even just take inspiration from what you see and come up with your very own version. If ever you are… Read More »
This month at Let’s Get Hopping we are having a sketch challenge. We each picked a sketch and we created two cards with this one sketch. I must admit, it’s been a really fun challenge for me and I can’t wait to see what everyone came up with. My original plan was to flip the sketch and twist it, but in the end I kept pretty much to the sketch… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Lets Get Hopping Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite colouring techniques. I love using sponges – whether it be sponge brayers or sponge daubers and on this project I have used both. The Large Letter Dies are retiring very soon so I couldn’t resist giving them one last outing on this project. I had two sources of inspiration for this project. Firstly, I had… Read More »
This month, the Let’s Get Hopping team have decided to set a challenge of CASE’ing ourselves. CASE’ing is a term we use a lot within Stampin’ Up and means Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit. This means we can take a design that we see from another demonstrator, and with permission, we copy or take inspiration from the design and make our own version. It is correct… Read More »

You can give a card to your husband/wife, girlfriend/boyfriend or when you were school age, your secret crush, but we don’t… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Let’s Get Hopping Blog Hop where our theme is Anything but a card for Christmas. We are focussing on all things Christmas though anything but a card!

We live in a really old house and… Read More »
The Let’s Get Hopping team are hopping again today and this month’s theme is Memory Keeping. There are many different ways you can preserve your memories, whether scrapbooking, using Memories and More pocket pages or even creating your own albums from scratch. For this month, I decided to make a Rooted in Nature scrapbook page. Rooted in Nature is not the only stamp set I’ve used, you may noticed another… Read More »
Welcome to the Let’s Get Hopping May Blog Hop. This month, we set ourselves the challenge of making a set of cards that could be given as a gift. I made something yesterday but I really wasn’t satisfied with my project. Being really pushed for time, I had literally a 15 minute window to change my project or I had to go with the original one. I am eternally grateful… Read More »
This month the Let’s Get Hopping Blog Hop team are showing our Love for Very Vanilla. I must admit I am more of Whisper White girl but I relished the challenge of mixing things up a bit with Very Vanilla. We do have a couple of product suites to choose from that use Very Vanilla in our catalogues. However, I thought I would try and push myself out of my… Read More »

So without further ado, here is my Pink Lemonade card. Aren’t the… Read More »
