Following on from my sneak peek post yesterday I decided to use this layout for a second card. Tis time, I’m back to our current products and also back on a Christmas theme. I adore the Joyous Noel suite and just had to use the beautiful copper DSP. It is so stunning in real life – the pictures in the catalogue do not convey just how gorgeous it is. I hope… Read More »
While we were at our recent Onstage gathering, we were reminded that not all of our class attendees have craft stashes the same size as ours! What?!! No, I jest! I know I am lucky to have lots of space and a lot of stash but we were reminded to go back to our roots and try some simple stamping. This is not easy for me! My supply lists are… Read More »
This weekend marked the end of Stampin’ Up’s 30th Birthday year-long celebrations. We partied all over the world from Orlando in the States, to Brisbane in Oz and Birmingham here in the UK amongst other locations! It is traditional at Stampin’ Up! events to swap card fronts and project ideas (totally optional but fun!) and I thought I’d show you the swap I’d made. After falling in love with embossing… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Enjoy the Little Things in Life Video Blog Hop where our theme is ‘All Things Flowers’. I hadn’t used my Pop of Petals bundle very much since I purchased it back in the summer so thought it was the perfect set for this month’s video hop. After my Christmas-themed retreat last week, my creative brain is now all set for the festive season so I wanted… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Favourite of the Season’. My fellow Stampin’ Creative teamie Caro and I ran a Retreat Day last Sunday and the contents of our goody bag was all based around the Joyous Noel suite. We created 10 different projects between us for our goody bag so after working with this bundle for a little while, it soon became my… Read More »
We have a fabulous theme this month, where we are creating non-traditional Christmas cards – this could either be in stamp choice or colour choice. I went for colour and have, in the words of Elsa, Let it Go by choosing some frosty colours and the fabulous new Wishing You Well stamp set. Joining our hop today we have my gorgeous SU co-presenter from a few years ago – my… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Enjoy the Little Things Video Blog Hop where our theme is Interactive/Pop-up projects. I decided to use Santa’s Workshop to create a fun ‘Wiper’ card. I must admit this is the first time I’ve ever made a wiper card, but it certainly won’t be the last. I’m already delving through my stash to see what sets would be fun to use in this style. As… Read More »
It’s the last Saturday of the month, so it must be the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop. As we’re all busy ladies during the summer – and three of the team are off seeing the sights in. Alaska – we thought we would make it easy on ourselves with an ‘Anything Goes’ theme. With no restrictions I really can’t wait to see what we have all come up with this month.… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Enjoy the Little Things Video Blog Hop where our theme is all things Masculine. As my husband’s birthday was coming up, it was the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the game and make a Masculine Birthday card. It’s a fairly simple card as overly fussy is not his thing, but I wanted to show you how versatile the Broadway Bound suite is. You may… Read More »
I made a cade recently for my daughter’s friends birthday that I thought would be perfect for the current challenge over at Inspire Create. Their theme this week is ‘Kids’ I used the fabulous Broadway Bound suite.. There is a great stamp set with co-coordinating dies and here is what I came up with. I think this suite is perfect for young and the young at heart in equal measure. You may… Read More »
This week’s challenge at the Global Design Project is a colour challenge. Fresh Fig, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron. I’m typing this up on my phone as my computer has died so not sure how to copy across the GDP graphic, hence the list of challenge colours. When I saw these colours I immediately thought of Tropical Chic. Here was what I came up with Tips and Tricks for my… Read More »
Our theme this month is Party Time – and what better suite than Broadway Bound?! It screams PARTY from the rooftops – the party can be any sort of a celebration though some of the sentiments are more suited towards Birthdays. I’ve chosen to make mine a Birthday card as I chose the candle DSP. And here it is… I do love Monochrome cards, so this Black, White and Gold… Read More »
I was scheduled to have my monthly Mum and Me class on Monday and ironically I had designed a Get Well card using Healing Hugs. I have had a rollercoaster few days where my Mum was taken seriously ill and rushed to hospital. As it stands today, things have slightly improved but we can only take one day at a time. If you pray, I would please ask you to… Read More »
Let’s face it, no-one wants to have to make a sympathy card because it symbolises the passing of a life. However, it is a card that will undoubtedly convey our sympathies and feelings when words are sometimes just not enough at this difficult time. There are 32 different sentiments in Itty Bitty Greetings and ‘Love and Sympathy’ was perfect for this occasion. I have also stamped ‘Sending Prayers’ from the… Read More »
I decided to enter a few more challenges and have been looking out for other challenges to enter. Emma Goddard, from our Stampin’ Creative crew, is on the design team for Inspire.Create. So it made perfect sense to check out their challenge. This week is a colour challenge and we are asked to use some of the new in-colors so I decided to break out Detailed in Love. I received… Read More »

I’ve already shown you the giraffe, so today is the rhino’s turn to shine – and how about that… Read More »
This week at The Global Design Project, it’s a fabulous colour challenge. I admit it took me a while to think what I was going to do with these colours.

My starting point was the Beautiful Share What you Love Speciality DSP.… Read More »

This week at the Global Design Project we are CASEing ‘the King’ – the very lovely and talented US demo, Brian King. I have always been a big fan of Brian’s style and am sure his cards have influenced many of my creations. This week I have cased his gorgeous card by creating a Lilypad Lake Diorama Card. Here is Brian’s original card. So what does CASE mean exactly ?… Read More »
You may remember on a previous post, I told you I had used that layout recently in class. I used it in a class that I hold on the third Monday of the month and we mainly make Quick and Easy Class cards. Here is the other card I created using that same layout – amazing how a simple change of DSP and colour can totally change the card –… Read More »
