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 »
For my Facebook Live this week, I wanted to revisit the You Are Amazing card kit. The first time I showed everyone how to make the cards exactly as the instructions suggested. But what if you don’t like those designs or you don’t like following instructions?! You can make anything you like with the elements provided. Today, I wanted to show you just a few You Are Amazing alternative card… Read More »
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 »

It’s time for the very last Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop of 2020 – I could blether on about the state of 2020 but I think we should probably just let it slip away quietly without a fuss! We chose our theme of Celebrations way back at the beginning of the year when Celebrations seemed a fitting theme for a December 31st Blog Hop. Yet as of this morning, my area… Read More »
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 »
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 »

We’re going to liven up that slump time! We wi be using bright colours and dreaming of hot summer days with… Read More »

It is amazing! Such a gorgeous shade and the sparkle and shine … Read More »

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 »

One of my… Read More »

My only hurdle was altering the church which I cut from the DSP. You can watch the LIVE again here My… Read More »

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 »
