I shared this Flowering Cactus card today on my weekly Facebook Live and I can’t wait to work more with this product medley. It will be available on January 5th when our brand new mimi catalogue launches. The colours work so well together, with hues of Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. And with cactus plants, you just have to have a vibrant sky like I’ve created… Read More »
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 »

Welcome to this month’s Let’ Get Hopping Blog hop where we are sharing our ‘Happy Colour’. I have to admit my all-time favourite Stampin’ Up Colour may not be perceived as a ‘happy’ colour as such but I just love Smoky Slate.

This month the Stampin’ Creative team have decided to case projects from the founder of Stampin’ Up herself, the lovely Shelli Gardner. I would class Shelli’s style as soft, feminine and whimsical with plenty of layers which I feel is in contrast to my own style. Having said that, I’m not sure what my style exactly is …?? A couple of her most recent blog projects caught my eye and… Read More »

This month we have the challenge of creating a One Layer Card. If you know me, you will know that I would find this challenge one of the most difficult. I don’t think my cards are overly fussy but to not use layers or dimensionals is so out of my comfort zone, but I hope nonetheless that you will warm to my Wonderfully Wicked One Layer halloween card! Without… Read More »
I thought I would share with you a card I made as part of our WLCR Retreat last summer. Sitting outside in the warm sun seems such a long time ago now. This card was part of our afternoon Stamp-a-Stack session and uses the gorgeous Stargazing stamp set.

This month at Let’s Get Hopping we are having a sketch challenge. We each picked a sketch and we created two cards with this one sketch. I must admit, it’s been a really fun challenge for me and I can’t wait to see what everyone came up with. My original plan was to flip the sketch and twist it, but in the end I kept pretty much to the sketch… Read More »
