I think I’m safe enough posting this card ahead of her Birthday as don’t think she looks at… Read More »

Every month, I hold two regular classes – my Fast and Fabulous class where we make four cards that are not too labour intensive and my Technique class where we make two or three cards that focus on a particular technique or that may just take a bit more time. This month, in our Technique class, we focussed on the Emboss Resist technique. This is where you add colour over an embossed… Read More »
I’m sharing another card today from my recent Fast and Fabulous class. I was inspired by a card by Megan Daves who used Sassy Salutations in a similar way. I used the little arrow stamp from What’s Up in between the words – it kind of reminded me of pine needles – though must admit, I’d never looked at it like that before! So all in all it’s a quick… Read More »
There has been so much exciting news from Stampin’ Up this month, that it’s taken me a while to get round to showing you the last of my team swaps.

You can see here… Read More »

A little while ago, I saw a card on the very talented Mary Fish’ site, that I just loved. Even though I had none of the supplies she used to make the card, I still loved the layout and decided to use my own supplies to make a Christmas version.
