I’ve missed hopping with my favourite ladies and am delighted to return especially when this month’s theme is Fancy Folds. I do love a Fancy Fold, it can take a Plain Jane card to wow-dom!! Not that I think my card today is Plain Jane but it’s so easy to create and packs a punch too. I’ve used the fabulous Nothing’s Better Than bundle which you can find in the… Read More »

This is a bright and funky collection of 48 sheets… Read More »

Therefore my first In-colour combo features all five in-colours. If you haven’t already seen… Read More »

Welcome to May’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme this month is Whatever the Weather. We have been blessed with some beautiful weather which has given us one less thing to complain about! In the UK and Ireland, there is one thing we love to moan about and that is usually our miserable weather. Thankfully, considering everything else that the Gods have thrown at us these past few months,… 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. It makes its way into at least 80% of the cards I create and is my all-time favourite neutral! It goes so well with Subtles, Regals and Brights… Read More »

My sister has been getting up at sunrise every morning for the past few weeks and taking… Read More »

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 »
Welcome to the first Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop of 2020! Already we are thinking ahead to Valentines Day on February 14th – or are we? Our theme of Hearts of Friendship is pretty vague and can mean all sorts of things. If you’ve arrived from Tamara’s Blog, you will, no doubt, have loved how she interpreted the theme and fingers crossed, you love my Label me Bold Valentines too! Whilst… Read More »

It is super easy to make and uses the fabulous Night Before Christmas suite which includes the Holly Jolly Christmas bundle. Don’t you just love that Santa Claus? He looks so jolly!

I thought after a hard night travelling round the world Santa may be a little tired of mince pies and might fancy a little champagne truffle instead… 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. I chose this set many for the dreamy Milky Way stamp but the sentiments are also great, especially for me, with young… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme is Birthday Bonanza!! It has such a great ring to it and after a very busy few months I am delighted to be able to join you.

Welcome to this month’s Lets Get Hopping Blog Hop where we are case’ing the catalogue.

If ever you are… Read More »
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 »
