Often when we look to purchase a stamp set, we often consider how versatile the stamp set is and how many different ways we can use the one set to create as many variations of a project or projects. After you have been stamping for a while, having collected a stamp set every so often,… Read More »
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 really have had fun playing with this stamp set. At the time of making this card the set had only just become available to demonstrators so there were no projects on the internet using this set.

A lot of my friends are in the “keep Christmas in December” brigade, but then the the silly season hits, end of… Read More »
With Stampin’ Up! releasing the “Christmas in July” promotion I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a few mid winter Christmas cards. So here is my first offering.
