In previous posts I have mentioned the Creative Inkers’ Birthday club, whereby we send each other birthday cards. I recently acquired the Large Letter Framelits and was just itching to have a play. What better opportunity than to personalise a birthday card. Using the Large Letter Framelits, this card can easily be adapted to… Read More »
I do love the way Stampin’ Up! encourages casing projects. (CASE = Copy and share everything). The other day I came across THIS post from Stampin By Hannah, and she had in turn cased the card from THIS post by Teneale Williams. Each card is basically the same but we have all added our own… Read More »
For another project using the same Beautiful You images I used the shaving foam background more as a mat and embellishment rather than a total back ground. I wasn’t originally planning to put the two little ‘flags’ to the right of the image however, as frequently happens, I had a little unexpected ink on my fingers… Read More »
One of my favourite suites from the new 2017/18 Annual Catalogue is the Colour Theory Suite. I have looked at it longingly in the catalogue for some time. At this point I only have the stamp set, Colourful Seasons but do plan to purchase the matching Seasonal Layers thinlit dies and the Colour Theory DSP… Read More »
When I first saw the Mixed Borders stamp set in the catalogue I didn’t really give it a second thought. However I was at a Stampin’ Up! event and saw it demonstrated only to discover that the various stamps are designed to work together at part of a two-step stamp technique plus mix and match… Read More »
I taught today’s project at a class quite some time ago and it proved to be very popular. I realised that I hadn’t posted it and as the die and the punch used are about to retire, I thought I’d better get onto it. I cas’d this project from Janina’s Paper Potpouri. I just thought it was… Read More »
I am fortunate enough to not only be an Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, but also am part of the Creative Inker’s group. This is a group of very supportive and social women with similar interests. We get together on a regular basis at a number of different occasions such as Team Training, Stamp Camp, Extravaganzas and On… Read More »
Today’s card I made quite some time ago but thought I’d share it with you as it is a good example (in my opinion) of the floating watercolour technique. Plus it just happens to be a pretty card suitable for many occasions. In this instance, I have heat embossed the rose from the Rose Wonder… Read More »
The Dragonfly Dreams stamp set is proving to be a very popular set, and for good reason. It contains beautiful dragonfly images and the ability to create a water effect using stamps. But did you notice the cute bee stamp? The matching thinlits dies set also have a bee image. I have a friend… Read More »
A number of my customer are mothers with young children. One lovely lady in particular has five children and between them and their friends there is always a need for birthday cards for children. This month for our regular card class I show cased the Balloon Adventures stamp set. I demonstrated a couple of cards… Read More »
