Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – Masculine Makes

Just look at these fun monochrome designs!  This paper (you can click on the icon down below… Read More »

Here is the front of the card.… Read More »

Glitter and Glamour with Approaching Perfection

  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. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I spied one of our Sale-a-bration sets, Approaching Perfection, that was out on my desk and decided to make a couple of very glamorous Birthday… Read More »

FB Live Replay for a Whale of a Time Shaker Card

I had to share with you the card I created this morning for my Facebook live session. I cased my own design from my event on Friday night. This time I used the fabulous Whale of a Time suite to create a fun shaker card. I’ve had this suite since the summer, yet this is the first time I created a Whale of a Time shaker card. Having a full… Read More »

Playful Pets Sympathy Card

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 »

Sweet and Simple with Sweet Strawberry

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 »

New Beginnings with Ridiculously Awesome

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 »

Flowering Cactus Valentine – not an obvious choice!

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 »

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 »

Give them a Gift of Cards – Feels Like Frost DSP Cards and Matching Gift Box

I made a gorgeous (if I say so myself) box yesterday to house a set of cards all using the Feels Like Frost DSP.  It appeared on the Retiring List at 50% off – not sure if it’s still there. If it is, GET IT!! It’s so beautiful, but if not you can easily swap out the DSP and the cardstock colours to suit whatever you have to hand. You… 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. It is such a great kit – the suggested layouts are superb – I wasn’t even tempted to go ‘off piste’ when making the cards themselves.  However, I’ve had a lot of fun with the stamp set since I’ve completed the kit and used it on my… Read More »

Remembering with Lovely You Forget-me-Nots

Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme is Remembrance. Of course, as we approach the month of November and Armistice Day, we remember those who have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. However I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight a little blue flower with Lovely You that represents remembrance and is long-associated with dementia. I stamped the little flower several times… Read More »
