I’ve had a few requests for instructions on my door on the card I posted for the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop on Saturday so have snapped a few pics and hope it makes sense to you all. You can see the original card here. So I took my piece of Whisper White card, my oval framelits, my Big Shot and my magnetic platform – this is great when you… Read More »
Welcome everyone to our Blog Hop for March. You may have arrived from Pip’s blog and if so, a very warm welcome to you. This month our theme is Masking and I’ve added my own Easter theme as we are so close to Easter Sunday. My first card is quite a classic, clean and simple card, using our ready-made notelet sets. These are a great size and very handy for… Read More »
Last week, I held my Sale-a-bration Final Fling party. This was a free party for anyone who had joined my team during SAB, or who had spent £150 with me during SAB or hosted an event for during the three months of SAB. I made all my attendees a little gift using the gorgeous Something Borrowed suite of DSP, lace trim and embellishments. It was a scissor charm in one… Read More »
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 »
Apologies for my lack of recent posts, last week was a little manic!! I should have (slightly!) more time this week so hope to remedy the lack of posts, firstly with this one. I was nominated by Tracy Elsom in Canada to be part of the Creative Blog Hop. I came across Tracy’s work through Pinterest, I think, and I cased a card that I fell in love with last… Read More »

Proud Mummy alert! You may already have seen this on my Facebook page but I am so proud of my 7ear old that I had to share here too. It was her Birthday last week, so the time had come for the thank you cards. She didn’t want my quick solution of ‘ pick your favourite card in my studio and let’s make it’. She insisted on designing her own. … Read More »
I promised to show you some of the swaps from our team night last week. First of all, here’s mine. I love this Sale-a-bration set – FREE with any purchase of £45! I was still undecided as to the orientation of the card, right up until the last minute – which version do you prefer? I’ve stamped the light bulb and greeting in Memento Ink and coloured in with my Daffodil… Read More »
It was my eldest daughter’s birthday yesterday and she had requested a Cat Birthday card! (we’re currently going through a cat obsession!!). I don’t have any cat stamps so I decided to pull out my punches and create a little punch art. I had to have a quick glance at Pinterest for a little inspiration for my perfect cat, and then had a look round my stash for the perfect… Read More »

Punch Art is such a great way to make use of your scraps and adults… Read More »
This week was my week of classes here at my craft room. Here are a couple of cards that we did on Technique Tuesday. I have seen lots of these style of cards across the internet recently and was really keen to give it a try. I’ve drawn inspiration from a whole range of ideas and colour combinations I’ve seen to come with something of my own. It really is… Read More »
I have a project to share with you today using the Crazy about You stamp set combined with some FREE Sale-a-bration paper. I’ve CASE’d this project from US demo Ronda Wade (CASE – stands for Copy and Share Everything – something we’re very proud of in Stampin’ Up circles). However, Ronda used a DSP on her card that I didn’t have. Yet, I really liked the Mossy Meadow scalloped… Read More »

I have a beautiful card to share with you today using the Lotus Blossom set that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I got the colour combination idea after first having seen a similar card on Beth McAlexander’s blog and decided it would make a perfect Birthday card for my Mum. I think I’m safe enough posting this card ahead of her Birthday as don’t think she looks at… Read More »
