Welcome to the Sweethearts Blog Hop where our theme is Anything Goes!! I’ve chosen to show a card we made at my recent Stamp-a-Stack class. I held my Stamp-a-Stack on Saturday and what a great afternoon we had getting a head start on our Christmas cards where we made 20 cards! Of course, in order to make 20 cards in 3 hours, they can’t be too difficult or labour intensive.… Read More »

I hadn’t used my Rainbow Glimmer paper in ages, and I had a lightbulb moment while prepping my regular FB Live. I wanted to pair the gorgeous Rainbow Glimmer paper with the Artistic Dies to see how dramatic the finished result would look – and boy was I right! It was such a simple card to make. Literally add the die-cut to some Basic Black cardstock and choose a… Read More »

Of course, I love sending cards, I’m a Stampin’ Up demonstrator, but especially this year when we still aren’t able to travel freely and see friends and family. Here I’ve chosen to make a fun Happy Easter card with the gorgeous Circle Celebrations in fresh, Spring colours. It’s such a fun set, you may have seen… Read More »
In this my Team challenge this week, we challenged ourselves to make some Monochrome cards. My own card coupled with one of my Downline’s card proved to be the inspiration behind my projects for my weekly Facebook Live, Monochrome Madness. I started off by using the more monochrome patterns in the Dandy Garden DSP in the same way as my Sunday card. I particularly love Misty Moonlight and have to… Read More »
I was just about to head out the door a few days ago when I heard my friends beloved pet had passed away. I didn’t have one already created in my stash, but had the perfect DSP so created a Playful Pets sympathy card. As always, the fact that Stampin’ Up’s DSP coordinates perfectly with the cardstock means that you can whip up a gorgeous card in mere seconds. The… Read More »
On my weekly Facebook Live, I chose to use the Sweet Strawberry bundle which is my featured set for my March Cards and a Cuppa class series. Here is the first card I’ve made with it, keeping it sweet and simple with Sweet Strawberry. Instead of using the infill stamps for the strawberry, I wanted to use the Stampin’ Blends. However, I opted for the normal infill stamps for the… 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.

Today, I wanted to show you just a few You Are Amazing alternative card… 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!

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 the Stampin’ Creative team have decided to case projects from the founder of Stampin’ Up herself, the lovely Shelli Gardner. I would class Shelli’s style as soft, feminine and whimsical with plenty of layers which I feel is in contrast to my own style. Having said that, I’m not sure what my style exactly is …?? A couple of her most recent blog projects caught my eye and… 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!
