Artistic Dies paired with Rainbow Glimmer paper

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 »

Pattern Party Floating Cardstock Technique

On my recent Facebook Live, I showcased the fun Floating Cardstock technique. It’s such a fun technique and I loved mimicking the stripes of the DSP. It’s a great technique to use up scraps of cardstock – we all keep them and now finally we have a good use for them! I do love the effect of the floating cardstock and matching it with this fun and bright Pattern Party… Read More »

Pansy Petals Fun Pocket Fold Card

For this week’s Facebook Live, I wanted to recreate a card I’d made on our team challenge night.

It uses Fresh Freesia cardstock and the… Read More »

Camouflage Birthday

It was my son’s birthday recently – I can’t believe the little boy that came to Onstage with me at 6 weeks old, is now 6 years old!!! How time flies! He’s my baby so I think it’s harder for the last one to grow up – harder for the parents I mean, he can’t wait to be older of course. He is currently into all things army so his… Read More »

Sale-a-bration 2021 Teepee Cards

I have to admit, I was stumped for a project to share on my Facebook Live this week.  I knew everyone was probably done with Christmas and was searching for inspiration with bright, fresh and fun products.  So was I, but I had to admit my head was still a little stuck in Christmas.  Luckily, I had a virtual crafting session with my team the night before, and my teamie,… Read More »

Happy Birthday with How Sweet it is

I’ve been playing with stripes – my favourite pattern out of the How Sweet it is Designer Series Paper (DSP) – to make up some Birthday cards.  I didn’t buy any of the rest of the fabulous co-ordinating suite but I just loved the bright colours in the DSP and finally managed to chop it up instead of just stroking it!! I tried two different designs and would love to… Read More »

We are asked to case the fantastic Stesha Bloodhart in this week’s Global Design Project Challenge.  You can see Stesha’s original card below.  Her row of three pretty vases was my inspiration.. I was immediately inspired to create a Birthday card with three candles in a row. The Broadway Bound bundle was crying out to be inked up for my idea of three candles in a row. Here is the… Read More »

Simple Stamping with Amazing Life

I set myself a challenge to do some simple stamping this year.  It is a real challenge for me but a challenge that Stampin’ Up! themselves started at our last Onstage, so I had to give it a go. I wanted to do some simple stamping with Amazing Life, which was a set we received in our goody bags last Onstage. I don’t think my cards or my style is… Read More »

Happy Birthday with Broadway Bound

We recently celebrated a milestone birthday in our family, so it was time to make a very special Birthday card. It took a brave cut of the Broadway Bound DSP – this number page is my favourite!  I made an extra large Birthday card so all the family could sign it.  Sometimes I find it easier to cut the DSP when it’s for a larger project – do you find… Read More »
