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 »
Today’s card is another one we made at last week’s Fast and Fabulous class. I used an idea from a card featured in the Seasonal Catalogue. Having the co-ordinating framelits made the card a very quick one to make, in fact the only bit that took any time at all was cutting out the little trees! I have used the Good Greetings stamp set for the sentiment and it’s… Read More »
I had a table at an event about 10 days ago. It was great fun, and while I knew the event would not be hugely busy, I knew those that were going would probably have children with them or even babes in arms so I wanted my ‘make and take’ to be beautiful, yet easy to accomplish while holding a child and a changing bag! I opted for Bright and Beautiful… Read More »
I had to return to my favourite set from this year’s Christmas catalogue – White Christmas – as I hadn’t used all the elements yet! This time I decided to use the car with a Christmas tree on top. I fussy cut it and gave it some dimension with a dimensional behind it. It was a very quick and easy card to make. I used the Blendabilities markers to colour in… Read More »
This was my first purchase from the Seasonal Catalogue as I fell on love with the sample featuring these sets. My project today is pretty similar – though I must admit, I’m not that fond of one-layer cards, so I used Cherry Cobbler as my base and a mat of Very Vanilla on top. I was a little disappointed with the embossing folder at first as the pattern is larger… 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. When we swap, we don’t always swap a full card, we just swap the card front or even just an element of the card. With this card, my downline, Caroline Thomas swapped a card front with us. 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. I used the colours featured in the All is Calm Designer Washi Tape to guide me in my colour choice. So,… Read More »

I am pleased to report that all these firsts went down really well and everyone is ready to do it all again! The house was quiet and though it was a bit strange without them, I did manage to get… Read More »
