This set also has a set of matching thinlit dies but for my Simple Stamping project today, I am just going to use the Star of Light set. This card is perfect for… Read More »

This All is Bright simple card is perfect for beginners but equally perfect for everyone at this time of the year.

It’s almost Christmas – can’t actually believe I’m writing that sentence!! So our theme this month with the Stampin’ Creative crew is White Christmas. This could be taken literally or loosely – I’ve gone for the latter and made a White Christmas wreath. I would also like to welcome the very lovely Emilie Poncelet to our hop this morning all the way from Canada. I’ve modelled it on a wreath… 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 »
Welcome to our very first Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop and welcome to my blog. I am Eimear Carvill, a UK based demonstrator.

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 »
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 »

This week at the Global Design Project, it’s a colour challenge and the three colours we are asked to work with are Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. I’ve chosen the brand new stamp set, Love What You Do.

Welcome to the Let’s Get Hopping May Blog Hop. This month, we set ourselves the challenge of making a set of cards that could be given as a gift. I made something yesterday but I really wasn’t satisfied with my project. Being really pushed for time, I had literally a 15 minute window to change my project or I had to go with the original one. I am eternally grateful… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where our theme this month is April Showers. This month we are joined by the very talented Artisan Rhoda McPherson, delighted you are hopping with us Rhoda.

The photo was taken in Cornwall last… Read More »
We had a fabulous gathering recently for the start of Stampin’ Up’s 30th Birthday celebrations. I travelled with six members of my team, the Aces and Diamonds. We had such a fabulous time and really look forward to our road trips every 6 months thanks to Stampin’ Up! I love making downline gifts and I think (and hope) they really liked their gift this time. It was a really practical… Read More »
I am so glad I purchased the Hold on to Hope Bundle. I originally purchased it to make sympathy cards for my Mum with a further idea for Communion cards for my son. However, I’ve also used the bundle to make a gorgeous piece of home decor earlier this month and today, I’ve used the Hold on to Hope bundle for a beautiful Easter card. I’m afraid as I looked through… Read More »
