Here’s my Autumn wreath…… Read More »

Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme is Summer Dreams. When I think of Summer, I think of bold and bright colours and I believe our brightest and most beautiful Designer Series paper is found in the Expression in Ink suite. We have some gorgeous greens, some beautiful oranges and the brightest pink in this Magenta Madness piece! My July class series featured this gorgeous paper… Read More »
Sunday night, as aways, was Team Challenge night and being such a hot day, I decided our theme would be Cool. That could have been interpreted any way, from Ice-creams, to Chilled Drinks, to the Seaside, to Cool Colours but I opted for Snow and the very cool Penguin Playmates!! Here is what I came up with. I just love these little guys. This DSP is FREE with a qualifying… Read More »
It’s the final Thursday of the month, so it must mean it’s time for the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop! This month our theme is Glitter and Glamour and I must admit I was first stumped.

Having a full… 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 »
During my Sunday night team challenge, we decided to focus on the theme of ‘Creatures’; think Donkeys, Turtles, Birds, Sharks etc etc. I decided to crack open a set that I purchased in a promotion before Christmas but had yet to ink up. There are the cutest little bird stamps in the set. So I made a Quite Curvy Spring Wreath. I coupled this set with the gorgeous Hydrangea… Read More »

Welcome to our first Stampin’ Creative Blog Hope of 2021 where our theme is new beginnings. I could harp on about the state of the planet, but I think we’ll breeze past that without dwelling on it and focus more on the theme of today which is indeed New Beginnings. I chose a wonderful stamp set designed bt the very lovely Ronda Wade together with Sean Douglass, our CEO’s talented… 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. But what if you don’t like those designs or you don’t like following instructions?! You can make anything you like with the elements provided. Today, I wanted to show you just a few You Are Amazing alternative card… Read More »
This morning on my weekly Facebook Live, I decided to make a Valentine’s card. Problem was, I didn’t have any of this year’s fabulous Valentines products. This challenged me to look at my existing products with new eyes. Did I have something that would work in a Valentine’s setting…. so I decided that the Cactus in the Flowering Cactus medley worked well as a heart shape – so here is… Read More »

It’s time for the very last Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop of 2020 – I could blether on about the state of 2020 but I think we should probably just let it slip away quietly without a fuss! We chose our theme of Celebrations way back at the beginning of the year when Celebrations seemed a fitting theme for a December 31st Blog Hop. Yet as of this morning, my area… Read More »
