Some of my favourite sets at 20% off

You may have seen my post yesterday about our fantastic promotion. I thought I would show you some cards I’ve made using one of the sets, Gorgeous Grunge.     And It’s a great set to colour with, like I coloured my leaves in the first set, to add a graffiti style background like my Happy Birthday card pictured above, or just to add some background interest. If I’m totally… Read More »

Better late than never…

I really wanted to do a challenge this week and found one on CAS(E) this Sketch that I liked. Unfortunately, by the time I got round to uploading my card, I realised the challenge had closed 🙁 However, as the title says ‘better late than never’ so I thought I would share it with you. My card uses the brand new set Watercolour Words. I just love the sketchy effect… Read More »

Aces and Diamonds Team Night

I recently held our monthly team get-together.  We usually get together once a month to craft, chat, and swap ideas and inspiration. I wanted to show you the swaps that my talented team made to share.  It’s a little picture heavy so I’ve reduced the size of the photos just so this post is not too hard to read.  Although my details are on the photos, these cards are entirely… Read More »

Christmas Cardmaking Classes – The Week Begins…

I’m kicking off a week of Cardmaking classes with my Mum and Me class this morning at 9.30am – and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off with a group of Mums and their little ones! We will spend the morning making 4 cards – similar to my Fast and Fabulous class but just with a little extra time to allow for a few cuddles, feeds… Read More »

More Christmas card ideas using White Christmas from Stampin’ Up

I had to return to my favourite set from this year’s Christmas catalogue – White Christmas – as I hadn’t used all the elements yet! This time I decided to use the car with a Christmas tree on top. I fussy cut it and gave it some dimension with a dimensional behind it. It was a very quick and easy card to make. I used the Blendabilities markers to colour in… Read More »

Stampin’ Up – Christmas Washi Tape

A little while ago, I saw a card on the very talented Mary Fish’ site, that I just loved. Even though I had none of the supplies she used to make the card,  I still loved the layout and decided to use my own supplies to make a Christmas version. I used the colours featured in the All is Calm Designer Washi Tape to guide me in my colour choice.  So,… Read More »

First Stampin’ Up/Project Life Pages!!

I am very excited to share my first Project Life pages with you.  They are very basic and I’m sure I will look back at them in months to come and be shocked at how basic they really were (just like I do with my first cards).  However, I just love the system. It really couldn’t be easier.  You start off with a basic kit of pocket pages and a card collection… Read More »

Last few days of Happy Watercolour

By now, I am sure you are all familiar with Happy Watercolour.  It is one of my absolute favourite sets and the source of many of my cardmaking ideas and inspiration. I am sorry to report that it is not being continued in our new annual catalogue.  That means it will be retiring on June 30th.  . I also used it most recently in my private class that I talked… Read More »
