Verdant Garden – Arrow Fold

This “Arrow” card is surprisingly easy – although it looks complicated.   t was originally created by the talented Sam of Mixed Up Craft.  This was one of the designs I used for the Display for my team meeting earlier in the month using the Magnolia Suite, and I’ve recreated it here using the Add On […]

Home Decor Piece with Good Morning Magnolia

Good day everyone!   I can’t believe how fast the time is flying by – half way through the year and it only seemed like yesterday when we were heralding in the New Year for 2019!!! Last weekend was Father’s Day ….. …and I was pleased that hubby didn’t go to Archery on the Sunday like […]

Magnolia Lane – Double ended Twist Treat Box

I had to delve way back into my archives for this  double ended twist treat box which I made in October 2015 as part of my 12 week Countdown to Christmas Series in 2015!!! My upline Amanda had sent me some materials to make a minimum of 4 projects from the Magnolia Suite as a […]

Geared Up Garage – faux tearing technique

With the coordinating papers retiring from this set,  I had to think of a way to make my own – and what better way than to revisit an age old technique I learnt 10 years ago!    The Faux tearing technique – all you need is some copy paper torn up and with a sponge […]

Centre fold easel card – Come Sail Away Suite

Of all the nautical themed stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has produced, this has got to be one of my favourites!  Although I don’t have much blue in my wardrobe, it’s still one of my favourite colours.  Pair Night of Navy with Sahara Sand makes me happy! I love the cut and emboss dies that coordinate […]

Today’s card is from a Host Set (which is only available as a Stampin’ Reward for a qualifying workshop order of £150 or more) […]
