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 »

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 »

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 »

If ever you are… Read More »
