As demonstrators, we are already privy to the fabulous Autumn Winter catalogue (believe me, it doesn’t disappoint!), but if you would like to get a head start on your crafting, we have several Chrstimas sets in our Annual catalogue including the one I… Read More »

You may have arrived from Mikalea or this may be your first stop, either way you are very welcome. I’ve chosen to highlight the stamp set included in the Oh Happy Day kit – I really like the fun, vibrant colours in the kits and once you are… Read More »
We’re getting ready for a double Happy birthday in our household this weekend and you may have seen my son’s card to his Dad if you follow me on Instagram (I was super proud!!), so without further ado, here is my card. My July Technique Tuesday class focused on shaker cards and I have become quite addicted to this style ever since! This is pretty much the same card as… Read More »

Here are all the details… So if you fancy a full day of crafting, great fun and a few prizes thrown in, then do join us. Places are… Read More »
I must admit to always being late when it comes to family occasion cards – but not this time (thanks to my sister who texted me to remind me!!). It’s my parent’s wedding anniversary this weekend and I decided to open up my Sunshine Sayings stamps and co-ordinating Sunshine Wishes thinlit dies (sold in a money-saving bundle!!) to make them a card. I held my team evening last night and… Read More »
Oh – Triple Time Stamping Tutorial – try and say that three times in a row!!! You may have seen the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop this weekend where I shared a Flamingo card using the Triple Time technique. I promised to share the technique with you in case you were not sure how to achieve this look. It really is quite simple. Firstly, cut your three layers – for my card… Read More »

Yes I know, I mentioned the C’ word! I know we have just passed the longest day of the year but I had a brain wave for Punch Art with the Fox Builder Punch and I just had to make it immediately to see if it worked – and it did! I thought the Fox body with a slight snip would make a good bell shape, so here is my card. and a… Read More »
After making this frame for my new niece, I thought I would spread the Foxy Love and offer a daytime class. Do check out my calendar above for details on all my upcoming classes. These cute little creatures are just adorable and so easy to make, you are going to love them. There are so many little creatures you can make with one stamp set and one punch, cats, tigers, squirrels, bears, beavers,… Read More »
One of the sets scheduled to be a best seller this year is the Foxy Friends bundle – I’ve just received mine and can’t wait to play with it. I think it is going to give the owl punch a good run for it’s money. There are so many little creatures that you can make with it, the young and the young at heart are going to fall for it… Read More »
Very quick post from me this morning, just to let you know our brand new catalogue is LIVE and KICKING!!! it is the best annual catalogue, in my opinion, since I joined three years ago! There is most definitely something for everyone. In fact, you may soon find that your wish list is very long so here are some money-saving tips on how to get the most from your money..… Read More »
I know I say this every month but I really can’t believe how quickly 2016 is flying by! Here we are in the final days of May and moments away from the unveiling of our brand new catalogue – are you excited?!?! You may have arrived from Caro, or this may be your first stop, either way you are very welcome. So we thought we’d give you a little sneak peak… Read More »
This is my final card as guest designer for CC&S this month and Caroline has a great sketch for us. Admittedly, this sketch did stretch the old grey matter but I hope you like what I came up with as I tried a male theme this week. Here is Caro’s sketch and here is my male-themed card I’ve just noticed on writing this post that I might have my circles going in the… Read More »
Goodness me, a thousand apologies! My last blog post left you with a line saying pop back to see how I created the frame around my punch and almost a week later, I’m only getting round to letting you know how to do it! I’ve had a few internet issues! After my previous internet connection pretty much grinding to a halt, we decided it was finally time to change suppliers. … Read More »
I’ve really enjoyed being part of the CC&S team this month and I hope if you’re a regular viewer that you have enjoyed my creations. This week, Caro had a sketch challenge for us. I could have created a ton of cards with this combination as they make such a gorgeous colour combination. Here they are: Gorgeous, isn’t it?! It didn’t take me long to plump for Garden in Bloom… Read More »
I had the incentive I needed to get back on track with my memory-keeping this week thanks to the Global Deisgn Project. Our challenge is to use Project Life by Stampin’ Up to create something whether it be a traditional scrapbook layout, a PL page or a card – I chose a PL layout. I used the Happy Times kit to document a family trip last summer where we camped in a… Read More »
I must admit Caro’s challenge this week had me stumped. I had an idea in my head when I saw it but it didn’t work out when I created my prototype and it was back to the drawing board. Usually, a tweak here and there sorts it for me, but this time I had to think up a totally new card. Here is the sketch we are working on and here… Read More »
I was honoured to be asked to be this month’s guest designer for CAS Colours and Sketches. This week’s challenge was a Colour challenge and uses three of Stampin’ Up’s retiring in-colours. This challenge screamed florals to me and though I would normally avoid doing the ‘obvious’, I really wanted to use a set called Best Thoughts that I only recently acquired. It is retiring at the end of the month… Read More »
You may have arrived from Mikaela or this may well be your first stop, either way you are very welcome. It is very hard to believe that we are already eagerly awaiting the launch of our new Annual catalogue in June, harder still to believe that June is just four weeks away – where is this year going? And though we can hardly contain our excitement for all the brand… Read More »
