It was my eldest daughter’s birthday yesterday and she had requested a Cat Birthday card! (we’re currently going through a cat obsession!!). I don’t have any cat stamps so I decided to pull out my punches and create a little punch art. I had to have a quick glance at Pinterest for a little inspiration for my perfect cat, and then had a look round my stash for the perfect… Read More »

Last night we had our monthly team night. We like to catch up, swap cards for ideas and inspiration and do a couple of make and takes. Last night it was my downline Ali’s turn to introduce her Make and Take and we did some fab punch art. I just love him, he’s so cute! Punch Art is such a great way to make use of your scraps and adults… Read More »
I had originally designed this card for a challenge, but then realised I had missed an element so not sure it would qualify after all 🙁 My fab downline Caroline Thomas gave me this fab set, so had to ink it up immediately. With a bit of jiggery-pokery and by using the stamp-a-ma-jig, I managed to have the two sentiments link into each other in the recess created by double punching with the… Read More »
This week was my week of classes here at my craft room. Here are a couple of cards that we did on Technique Tuesday. I have seen lots of these style of cards across the internet recently and was really keen to give it a try. I’ve drawn inspiration from a whole range of ideas and colour combinations I’ve seen to come with something of my own. It really is… Read More »
I had a private card class last night for my lovely hostess, Nora. She had requested we make a medley of cards that she could recreate with her children as she likes to make Thank you’s and Birthday cards with them. So I was happy to oblige! The first one I shared on my Facebook page last night, it uses Little Buddy Birthday – which is my favourite set to… Read More »
It’s a big day in our house today as my little boy turns 5! He quite likes Superheroes and Spiderman is probably his favourite, so I thought I would dust off my punches and make a Punch Art Spiderman. I had a quick look at Pinterest and Google for some inspiration, but I had to improvise as some of the punches used in other people’s cards were either retired or… Read More »
I have a project to share with you today using the Crazy about You stamp set combined with some FREE Sale-a-bration paper. I’ve CASE’d this project from US demo Ronda Wade (CASE – stands for Copy and Share Everything – something we’re very proud of in Stampin’ Up circles). However, Ronda used a DSP on her card that I didn’t have. Yet, I really liked the Mossy Meadow scalloped… Read More »
22/01/15 So pleased to add that I was one of three winner of this challenge 🙂 I enjoyed the Pals Paper Art Challenge so much last week, I decided to take part again this week. This time it was a sketch challenge so we have to come up with a card following the elements in the sketch. I hope it’s ok but I flipped the sketch and did… Read More »
Two posts in one day – unheard of for me, but I wanted to take part in my first Pals Paper Arts Challenge – might I add, my first ever challenge!! Encouraged by my wonderful downline, Caroline Thomas, I thought I would try and test my creative abilities by taking part in a challenge so here goes! I’ve used the gorgeous Hello You Thinlits – which incidentally come in… Read More »
I have a beautiful card to share with you today using the Lotus Blossom set that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I got the colour combination idea after first having seen a similar card on Beth McAlexander’s blog and decided it would make a perfect Birthday card for my Mum. I think I’m safe enough posting this card ahead of her Birthday as don’t think she looks at… Read More »

With three small children in the house, you can never have enough Birthday cards in the house ready to go. But for some reason, a Birthday party seemed to sneak up on me this morning without a card ready!! Call it a hangover from Christmas!! Thankfully, I remembered my recent purchase of Little Buddy Birthday and decided to ink it up. I also recently received Sweet Taffy DSP so thought I would… Read More »

I am going to try and look after myself a little bit more, drink a bit more water, exercise a little but no ridiculous resolutions that I know I wont keep up with. I’m also going to try and keep up with… Read More »
It’s been a week since I wrote a post – sorry about that! I don’t know about you, but though I love Christmas and have been making Christmas cards since August, it still sneaks up on me and I suddenly realise I still haven’t bought all my Christmas presents and I’m running out of time and ideas, aaaaagggghhhh!! Is anyone else like me or are you all super-organised? Today, I had… Read More »
