Stamp-a-Stack favourites for the Sweethearts

Welcome to the Sweethearts Blog Hop where our theme is Anything Goes!!  I’ve chosen to show a card we made at my recent Stamp-a-Stack class.

Cutest Punch Art Snowman

I love crafting with my children and Punch Art is such a fun technique to do with both adults and children. For this cutest Punch Art Snowman card, I’ve used Circle Dies but you could use punches if you have those – you just need two dies or punches of different sizes. You also need a label punch and an oval punch for my Snowman’s top hat.  You could cut… Read More »

Christmas Gift-Wrapping Sorted!

When I saw this Christmas Gift Bag project by Ludovine Bertois, I just had to make it.  It is such a roomy gift bag and really easy to make. I had one sheet of Painted Christmas DSP left over from my November Cards and a Cuppa – so I decided to use it for this project and I’m really pleased how the whole project came together. Of course, the bag… Read More »

Stars are Shining for Christmas

I have taken forever to blog this card and it’s one of my favourites!  It uses the gorgeous stamp set Stars are Shining, which for one reason and another, I have only just opened.

Penguin Playmates are COOL!!

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 »

Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Alternative Ideas

I had a great class on Saturday where we got together online to make up the Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin kit.

Start the week with Simple Stamping – Santa’s Workshop

However, I also wanted to feature it in my Simple Stamping series.  In fact, there is very little stamping in this card at all, so it’s a very gentle introduction to stamping in card making, If you had the co-ordinating framelits, you could die-cut the elves straight from the… Read More »
